4 Lessons and Thoughts on The Richest Man in Babylon

Image
Finally done with this book and wanted to talk about it a little. After about 3 weeks of reading i realize now why i was meant to read this book. There are many things in this life one must understand. The first is Love, the second is the understanding of ones self as well as the understanding of life. The last thing is the understanding of economics, or money for that matter. After many week of reading this book I found fours very important lessons. This won't be stated in chronicle oder being that i understood the principles should be just used, and not necessarily in a particular order. Of course feel free to pick up the book at your local book store or check out the Youtube link at the end of this article which has the full book Via Audio. #Working Hard First understanding that working hard is very important and will bring you  the most joy when you understand how to do it. This means don't have to work hard all your life, but you do need to understand that without

5 Reasons Why You're not close to God

Image
First off let me tell you this is not a blog writing to change your perspective on God. Also this is not a blog to tell how to get closer to God, thats done by you and your journey through life. I am here though to write about the reasons that are keeping you from truly connecting to God. So lets begin. #1 You have not found yourself You may think this is simple, and that you just need to learn more or have more experiences. But actually thats not the case at all, when it comes to finding yourself it take diligent work to understand your mentality and why you do certain things versus others. This means you may need someone on this journey with you to point out these things that you don't see in yourself, but that others do. #2 You often Rely on others to tell you who you are This one is a little tricky because you may think this is talking about finding yourself still and yes it does have to do with it. But really i have to say that it goes deeper than that, it goes to

Simplicity At It's Best!!

I used to live in an area in Florida called south side, but I like to call it Church Street, sense that was the street where I was staying. On the other hand people at school and round the rest of the town called it the “black side of town”.   The place was at first a sort of poetic town where cows where eating grass and land was large and never ending. I was around 12 years old when I moved there. This was a delicate time of life, moving from many different cities and now I was here in the middle of nowhere. This though was a chance to start to learn about myself, for the most part it was a simple time. I have to say reflecting on the time now it baffles me how much humbleness was within myself. That time truly showed me what it meant to be yourself, it separates everything I am now to a simple view of life, a view to which was a luxury, not flashy luxury but a mundane pure understanding of “I” luxury. This wasn’t about the house, not about the jewelry, but it was about the

Shake up your life: How we changed our own perspective

It all started late in April, 2017, scanning through a social media site called Facebook I saw this face, someone maybe I recognized. Coming to my attention was the mutual friend that we shared, one of my best friend. I concluded I may know her i preceded to add her as a friend. Not to long later she answers asking me if she knew me once i realized we did not know each other i plainly replied i guess not you resembled someone i thought i knew but it wasn't the case. Later she replies and it all went off from there. I was sitting down panicking thinking i don't speak french how will i communicate with this women. I begin to ask my friends for help, i had a friend from Tunisia i was hoping that he could help with the french but he was way to busy with his own life to help me with my dilemma. So i decided to take matters into my own hand and just went ahead and replied in english to my stunning affect she replied with ease. From that day on my life was about to change. T

New thoughts, New Feelings

To be in the arms of the right one. What does it feel like? It feels like it is the right thing to do and the right place to be. The place where you belong to, the only skin you should lay down your skin on. Like your soul is not yours anymore but it is in safe hands. Those hands you get addicted to, those hands you cannot live without. Those hands caressing your face, your identity, your naked and true self. To be in the arms of the right one, feels like you could die in peace at this moment. Like you have found the true meaning of life.Like you would stay in those arms for the rest of the day, the week and your life. Your skin on his skin, his skin on yours, a tear of joy, a tear of fear, a tear of pain and pleasure. Joy because you are finally happy, joy because God answered your prayers, joy because you finally know what love is. Joy because by finding him, you have found yourself and what you really want in life. Fear because you are afraid to lose that moment, fear because he i

Interpretation of the 5 Love Language

Tonight I was  definitely excited about writing. It actually has been a long time sense i sat down and written like I used to. Ever seen I start class and went back home It hasn't been the same. But yesterday after a pretty small depression phase I started getting motivated again. Honestly this is the second time I'm writing this post and it's a real bummer that i couldn't post the original work, but i don't want it to become forced writing, free flowing is the best way to assure that you have the best quality. But on to the post, ever sense me and my love started talking we decided that we wanted to make this experience the best possible. This brought us to wanting to read the book "The 5 Love Languages". This was actually presented to me through work if you guys didn't know yet I'm in the Military more specifically the United States Air Force. I will probably have another post on my job so for now just know that i work there. So we wh

The Philosophy of a Runner

Before going into this whimsical theory of running, I would like to inform you that all ideals form this passage or blog is of my own origins. This means take all that I say with a gran of salt. As I propose my theory I want you to think of your life and love, this will help you to conclude what truth is for you.  Let me start by saying, the only understanding that I'm looking for is of myself. This understanding helps me to pursue love, understand my partner in life, and to be the best version of myself as possible. To me this is the reason for philosophy.  Running  this is an act of change within time. I run not just because of the health benefits that I receive from it, but from the mental clarity that it brings me. Running can become like any other sport an art, this art helps to clarify your purpose it's as if you are meditating, finding yourself wondering off to a land of reduced differences and answers.  Art The art of running becomes the focus of the

Living is Simply with Coffee

Hi!  So today I received a message from my mom and it was a kind of inspirational video of some sort. For the most part the story was about a group of former students that came to visit there old professor. When they got to the reunion the professor got to listening to how some of the students life turned out after college. Turns out they where complaining about how stressful there lives where and how they couldn't figure out why they where so unhappy although they had pretty good job. Not to long later the professor goes out to the kitchen gets all his cups of coffee makes a big pot of coffee and lets the former students pick there cups. Once all of them had coffee in hand he asked, why they picked the cups that they had? most of them replying "because it looked nice".  The teacher replies to the students "well I noticed that you guys picked the cups that look the most expensive and gorgeous." The students kind of murmured among themselves, and h
