Not What You Think…

These words hang over my bed. I created this canvas… and I love it. These words have been a guiding force in my life for many years, ever since I created this “piece.” I think it is brilliant! These days I also think it is WRONG! I am quite shocked actually how I am thinking these days… I am not quite sure if I am just going through something like a “midlife crisis” or what… but my thinking about life and myself and others and how I want to move through this life is changing DRASTICALLY… DAILY!

I NO LONGER believe I should use my “strength” to “fight” for ALL others… In fact, these days, I believe VERY STRONGLY I should be very picky and choosy about who and why I use my strength. In my mind, there are LOTS of people in this world these days I should fight AGAINST… This new realization is VERY CONFUSING to me… but I believe it to be true!

I will still leave these words hanging over my bed… and I will still use these words as a guiding force in my life… but I am NO LONGER going to use my “strength” to fight for ALL! From now on, I will be very considerate and measured for whom I “fight” for and those whom I “fight” against… and I hope we all might begin to think this through a bit. I STRONGLY BELIEVE that EACH OF US has STRENGTH… without a doubt… what I don’t know is if each of us in this world is using their strength WISELY… for me, from now on, this is MY GOAL. Strength ALONE creates chaos and destruction. STRENGTH, used WISELY, can SAVE this world.
