CORRECT ME IF I’M WRONG! November 29, 2013
Writing fictional books is
like sailing through different worlds that may not be afforded us in real life.
Authors command the adventure and realize the result without giving way to
status quo. Putting the words to paper is scaling the impossible and immersing
oneself in a dimension of imagination. It is a mind drug with incredible side
effects.
When I write a sentence,
there is always a paragraph behind it.
I originally wrote this
for Facebook, but because it is a time for thanksgiving I felt it was
appropriate in this ‘CORRECT ME IF I’M WRONG!’
Canadian and American
thanksgiving days are a month apart, but it should be noted that we should give
our thanks every day. As a Christian, I personally have taken criticism for
being of my faith, but as I learned many years ago, I am not here to accept
that criticism as a base for why I am. No matter which God or belief one follows,
is not of my judgement. If our faith is a positive message and a benefit to our
neighbors then so be it.
Many times Christians have
been labeled as hypocrites. Well they are right; everyone is a hypocrite, but
if one seeks positive answers and a way to help others then they are in the
right place. In my previous career I have seen the bowels of evil and if a
person wishes to live and believe in that then they are already paying the
price of loss for there is no brother standing next to them.
Whether one is a Christian
or Muslim or a Buddhist or whatever, it is the positive example that is the
biggest teacher to others. If you reach out, they will reach back.
In my work I have had
Guardian Angels with me, and I thank the Lord for providing them. I also thank
Him for the spiritual gifts bestowed, for his message shall be given.
The following is an
excerpt from my second book ’Shield and
Sword: Into the Light’
‘As one stands at the
bottom of a canyon looking up the steep rock walls it is time to understand why
you are where you are. To reach the top of the cliff walls takes dedication,
reflection, and positive spirit.
Many times I have been on
top looking down and found myself plummeting back to where I began in the
canyon base. These rises and falls are part of life and the important thing is
how we react, learn and mature. It isn’t because of anyone else's error but our
own. We have all been given the spiritual and physical strength to overcome
calamities. The answer doesn’t get resolved consuming alcohol or drugs. On the
contrary, the problems remain and are amplified by a hangover.’
I have learned that a
positive spirit makes the journey less corrugated and more of an adventure.
Appreciate the gifts that are given to us in bounty and not the bounty in the
gifts.
Even though my climbs up
the cliff walls have scarred my physical being and my soul, these battle scars
only remind me of, and amplify the good given.
We may not live in a
mansion or drive a fancy car but if we are happy on a bicycle and dwelling in a
tent, take no criticism for you are you. Give the person beside you on the
cliff wall a hand. The climb for them may be more difficult.
Please... CORRECT ME IF I’M
WRONG!
