In Light of Change

You owe it to yourself to strive to become a child of God, to stick to your ideals and to what you have defended not so long ago in the past.

It must come from within; the desire for betterment.
Pave the stream for which the waters will flow on.

If at any moment jealousy awakens you from a monotonous sleep, taste it, but do not swallow it
for like lazyness it is a pestilence that will be too difficult to cough out.

Betterment, need not only be focused on combating the negative.
Betterment involves the materialization of a spiritual belief. A grounding of ascenting beliefs.
Be reminded at this early age, that at the 20th year of existence to do things that are right and just, that are morally guided and socially grounded.
That is, be wary of others and of what you think and say. Yet be critical of the things you do.

For a show of wealth is an invitation for theft and jealousy.

And a mind who dwells on jealousy becomes isolated, a stagnant soul who tries his best only to win back another's acceptance.

And oh, when that day comes when their actions shall have manifested themselves do they see regret. And regret is all that will be spoken of.

Actions today cannot be undertaken to alter a past's doing; actions today are best done to build on a tomorrow.

Change is relative.

A river will flow its natural course. But obstructions and constructions will force it on a new path.

In the end betterment will be a decision only for one to make.
It is not required of you to improve.

Change is an option.

But have an open mind this moment.
Be reminded that change for betterment will always be a wiser option.

Keeping one's ideals and changing for the better are two distinct concepts that harmonize well together.
Listen.
We keep our ideals because these are what we believe are right and we are at anytime willing to defend what this is that we believe in.
Changing for the better is a modification of actions and thoughts - of a lifestyle and of ideals.
We need not to compromise our ideals in changing ourselves for the better.
In changing for the better, we become aware of the aspects we need to improve on - these aspects which make up our daily activities, our social interactions and spiritual habits. In changing for the better, we positively change ourselves within a transforming atmosphere and setting. We identify negative aspects and then strive to lessen this, eventually replace this with positive, acceptable demeanor, and maintain this. Our ideals will automatically be modified for we have already graduated from ignorance and have consciously worked on a betterment.

Keeping one's ideals is good.
Abiding by it through life is good.
Keeping one's ideals and taking the effort to betterment is better.
Keeping one's ideals and modifying it under a new light is better.
Changing together with the times and keeping one's ideals is even better.

Transfiguration

At the peak of a mountain
by the sea, the sharp wind
prevents my fall.

An afternoon sun on the west
warms my skin and the rocks that
occupy the limestone face.

A storm cloud is too far to
dampen my mood, while the feathered
skies continue at their best
to signal my liftoff.

The golden seas are a reminder
of the kingdom that awaits.
It is the Age and no more
shall I be prevented.

Lifted by His breath
I go beyond the blue
into the golden kingdom.

A Calling

I am being summoned.
By a supernatural force
a voice from above!
hearken! it is a sign.
I must, I will, I shall.
A lifelong endeavor.

I have been summoned.
By a paranormal force
a voice from behind me!
listen! what does it mean?
I shall, I will, I must.
A new tomorrow.

Be careful, you might slip

You must be cautioned today- right now, this instant. It has come to our attention that you have developed a rare disease - okay, perhaps just a disorder. Yet, it has become very rampant amongst the ambitious and self-righteous. You are a suspect; not that you should be arrested or
ex-communicated, but simply cautioned.

Listen. Look at the eyes, yes the eyes.
Breathe...In...Out.

Pride is not something to be proud of. You must not boast it amongst people, who do not need to know about it. Humm it... keep it to yourself and your parents who award you for it. Be humble, that's the word! Humble...Look it up at the dictionary one day.

Limitations are not there to be exceeded or to be overcomed. They are present when and only when you are aware of them. That is when it is said you know yourself and your abilities and again, limitations. It is then that you should settle for what you can do - everyone has to start and specialize to make a living! Be good at what you can do! Don't spread yourself thin. Diversification in this case is purely inefficient and unproductive. Knowledge on the otherhand is alright to be expanded to the far reaches of capability. But limitations speak of actions. Limitations involve things we can and cannot do. So know your limits and be the best in what you can do!

Synergy:
One cannot take pride in what he cannot do. Yet, one must not boast of what he cannot do. One can take pride in what he can do. Yet, one must not boast of what he can do.

The correlation is clear and strong.

Wise men and women have cautioned you. Wise man and woman will caution you. Wise boy and girl caution you:

Be careful, you might slip into the well and drown from the flood of hatred, jealousy and annoyance.

You might slip into the well and starve from the drought of isolation, loneliness then grief.

Listen.
Breathe...In...Out.
Look at the I's, yes the I's.
