I'm Going To Lay Down My Burden

Dear Beloved,

Have you ever felt like laying down and simply calling it quits? Just close your eyes and be done with this whole freaking life thing? I think that is the lowest of any low. I mean how can you go any lower? Wait... Don't answer that. Low is low, so what do you do with it? Do you wait for someone else to make you happy? Do you wait to be validated? Do you beat your spouse? Kick your dog? Have road rage? Be promiscuous? You know what you do during these times and you know that if it is anything less than dealing with the problem that you are not doing the right thing. Sure, we all need to low off steam. We all need to be able to have an out. That one thing that takes us to a better place, but that one thing needs to be something happy and something healthy.

How did you get to your low? What happened that took you there? You were not born in that place. No one can put you where you don't want to be, so how did you get to your low? I will tell you how, you took yourself there. What?! You heard me, you took yourself there by allowing actions to define you. People can do things to you, but only you can allow your self to stay in a zone that continues to give their action power. It is easier said then done, but letting go can be done.

How do we fix us? Well like a car or a washing machine or any other thing that needs to be fixed we have to figure out what is wrong with it and with us. Me? Well, I am not doing anything (except for this blog) that the great I AM would have me to do. Someone might tell you to go pry and ask God what your gift is. I'm not going to say that what. Am going to do is hold you responsible for your talent. You know what you are good at and most likely it's the thing that you do the least, because we only seem to run to our talent when whatever else we are doing is not working. Kinda sounds like when we pray huh? Well, that is because when we are using our talent we are the closest to God. That is why it is called your God given gift.

That low place can make you forget your gift and all things positive. If when the feeling of being low begins to sneak up on you, you think about your gift and use it that gift will turn into your secret weapon and before you know it there will bento ore sneak attacks from that low place.

You can't knock it until you try it...I'm just saying.
