Earlier in the week not enough money or enough time were the excuse’s. NOW I submit will others chosen actions keep the hearts passions from being pursued? Yeah back on that excuse’s subject. Will the felonious nonsense of life experiences, other people or situation prevent the pursuit of the hearts greatest desires?!?
Luke 9:59-62 says, ‘To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” And Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” Yet another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home.” Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.” ‘
Born in the 80’s I find such power in the time period. To me the 80’s represents a time where so many in the United States lived for their passions. This shows so much in the movies and music at the time.
In 1983 a movie was made about a Pittsburgh woman with two jobs as a welder and an exotic dancer wants to get into ballet school. Her dream is to get into a real dance company, though, and with encouragement from a loving partner achieves her heart’s desire. Alex, our dance character, did not have the money, did not have the training or “tools” needed, or the time. Honestly who works fulltime in a job as a welder then goes to such an elicit environment as a club stage with money and time freedom?
Who else had a vision of greatness yet no time or money? Thomas Edison was broke when he found 1,000 ways to not make a lightbulb. Go further back in American history to a time when America was just an “impossible” dream. Some of our most famous founders Washington, Jefferson, John Adams, Ben Franklin and Alexander Hamilton had their own responsibilities, personal issues and no funds to fight the largest military in the world. Yet here American stands after over 200 years!
Everyone knows that obviously financial issues did not stop the funding of the military needed to stick a pitchfork to the British. Regardless of how crazy the hearts ideas may seem a great idea will nearly always find the funding or support needed. This accomplishment is too great to have only overcome a financial challenge.
George Washington is known to have struggled with his temper and Ben Franklin was quite the exhibitionist. Bet that was quite a situation with just those two together. After all only John Hancock and Charles Thomson signed the Declaration on July 4th. In fact on July 2nd a party was thrown where 54 bottles of Madeira, 60 bottles of claret, 8 bottles of whiskey, 22 bottles of porter, 8 bottles of hard cider, 12 bottles of beer and 7 bowls of alcoholic punch.
Seems the group of them could really put a drink back. Our declaration wasn’t signed by all the Founding Fathers until a month later. Not only drinking so much to delay signing the Declaration of Independence but expenses of a party better used to fund the development of an army.
What other excuses could have our Founding Fathers made leading to not declaring independence?
Ben Franklin was such a clown he wasn’t allowed to write the Declaration of Independence.
Alexander Hamilton was a liar, even his age is unknown.
Thomas Jefferson lived in denial. He proved his hypocrisy writing, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,” Yet at the time of this writing he held nearly 200 black men, women and children bound to toil like animals on his property in Virginia.
It is so easy to blame others for not living the life wanted. So many think politics NOW are more a campaign to belittle others and manipulate the public. Did Jefferson the 3rd U.S. President not do just that in hiring someone to spread mistruths against John Adams?
This much past info is only shared for the purpose of informing readers that NOW has the same opportunities as the past. NOW is no different than the moments past. The difference will be when people stop blaming the outside circumstances and other people. Accept the role played in each NOW moment and put into action that ideal version of self. Allowing another person’s actions to justify a poor choice in behavior does not change the fact one chose to behave poorly. While many are upset over the current state of politicians behavior what do Trump’s choices have to do with one’s own choices NOW?!?
