The Value In Me
I will always be too intimidated to avoid butting heads with pompous, self-centered, highly egotistical people. When I stand up for myself, I need constant reassurance and clarification to know the difference between which end of the body describes them better.
Being An "Egg"ceptional Person
I use to wake up every day and feel good about myself. But living in the 21st Century doesn't make it easy because everything has to be overly sensationalized and most of us tend to take things for granted. Also, I'm aging and probably making the wrong connections toward what life has in store for me. I sure hope whenever the right time comes, it'll be worth the feeling of the best for whatever comes my way. Back in the mid-70s I found a time when I had a genuine well-balanced life with an equal amount of humanistic and materialistic values.
Around noontime on September 21st of the fall Equinox, I saw an egg standing proudly outside on a cement patio in the bright sunlight. I marveled with excitement when I heard someone explain about the balance of light and dark and the earth's strongest gravitational pull was performing at its best to celebrate the beginning of Autumn. I believed it was a rare opportunity for an egg to express itself admirably. What an ultimate moment I had to feel like an "Egg"ceptional person! The world needs more moments like this.
The Writing of My First Book-Rise with the Sun
When I wrote my first book for the first time, I never took the editing too seriously. I know the writing of the poems and short stories in my first book could be better. Experts in writing know the greatest headaches and cumbersome parts to any writing is the constant grammatical and typographical errors you have to deal with along with the timely patience in making the necessary changes in order for any manuscript to reach what any writer would want to accomplish-the very best representation of the finest literary and intellectual quality that the work deserves. It's an artwork in itself.
What I consider a great accomplishment in my work on my first book was the contents. It has character not so much in how I used the words I chose, but in the way I described what I wrote. Any writing critic may end up being bored by how the book was written because of its more feminine and child-like appeal. The book was actually written for any gender and any age. I imagined, from time to time, winning best seller awards, but I'm a person that gets easily intimidated by boastful people. I'm modest in saying I can embrace a best seller quality, but true character is admirable not boastful.
My first writing style I wrote was with simplicity like a baby taking their first steps, or crawling for the first time, as well as losing their first tooth. The steps of learning how to do anything for the first time in life is also a trial and error time in life. Growing up goes on and on. Much like my writing skills to eventually be mastered in time. One thing I don't find as a flaw in my writing is the enthusiasm and energy I find when I challenge myself to play with words and make an ending thought make you think. This is another goal I want to achieve. I keep saying to myself that it's OK if it takes the rest of my life to do this. I guess this may be a challenging demon hovering in the depths of perseverence, but I have to face it to overcome it.
Explanation of The Ten Principles to Live By
I was part of a "Godspell" of the time back in the mid-70s in being distinctly described as a one of a kind phenonmenal feeling made up of useful and daily positive actions.
No greater love than the love expressed and shared by the people I deeply grew in significance with became known as an Ecumenical youth group called, "The Koinonia Youth Group and Singers."
"The Golden Rule" reigned as the most significant part of our lives based on a universal foundation of the holy spirit.
The Meaning of the Ten Principles:
1. The value of acceptance and appreciation in my life became the foundation to allow me to be the best I could be.
2. I grew a genuine heart.
3. The true meaning of being valued as an individual became the most significant positive disposition to portray toward one another in the group.
4. I learned to believe in righteousness, stand up for myself and set a good example for others.
5. I realized to strive in showing compassion to family and friends in good times and in bad.
6. A sense of support in bonding together as a community in reality made life the best it could be.
7. I found faith to develop invincibility through the strength of the holy spirit.
8. I gave wholeheartedly and expected little if nothing in return for the sake of making others happy.
9. Not enough of this kind of value exists in life. In order to live by it, it must become an integral part of your whole being on a daily basis.
10. When you can burst open with positive energy from the center of your soul moving outward, you live in wonder and share the meaning right along with all of the other wonders of the world.
FROM WITHIN
Isn't it about what we can do for all, too bad when it's so very small, whenever there's more in need from life that's left undone.
Can we keep trying to put up a fight, to turn our world 'round right, as broken hearted souls still continue to never find the sun.
From within, wanting more, don't let any self-centered fool stop you from what you're looking for.
Knowing of the power beyond endless measure, gets lost in seeking a true trustworthy treasure, when there's too much want in life to balance out every need.
There will always be so much beyond our control, in taking risks to reach a common goal, but just not good enough to simply succeed.
From within, wanting more, don't let any self-centered fool stop you from what you're looking for.
Don't live in a heartless, selfish way.
From within, wanting more, don't let any self-centered fool stop you from what you're looking for.
From within, wanting more, don't let any self-centered fool stop you from what you're looking for. |
