Re'bel

I'm just about on schedule to write on this blog again, 6 months is usually the wait but this is like a good 7;)

So I had the ipod on shuffle and came across this song and remembered how much it really spoke to me when I first heard it. So I felt inspired to write what I got from it this time.



"We must destroy in order to rebuild." -Lauryn Hill

When we cry we release tension. We get to a point where we can bear it no longer; something needs to be acknowledged so we express with tears our intrinsic nature. A part of that nature is to overcome. We humans were meant to overcome and conquer. Our growth is essential to our existence. However, to grow as people we must remove the obstacles from our paths. We can become so tangled and lose our focus that we make errors in what we are trying to build. Most times our mistakes are too great to retrace our steps so we have but one solution and, the best... destroy. We can waste our energy by not wanting to give up and get it right, but if we are truly looking out for our best interest we would put aside our pride and start anew. We must admit our mistakes, submit our pride and destroy our mess if we want to rebuild once more.

I find it interesting observing human lives, but not just as subjects but as souls with purpose and lost prophecies. Take for example a man who is designed for great accomplishments but suffers from guilt and shame. He hides and pulls his jacket tight, rarely granting eye contact with any other soul. He was designed to inspire others, to encourage the weak and to fuel the ignited... but he chooses not to.

The people who are most successful in this life, and by successful I mean as people of virtue and value, are recognized because they bear fruit, not shiny plastic fruit but rather wholesome fruit. There are people who achieve wisdom because they were patient, kind, humble; they weren't just granted wisdom for they earned it. They put in the work required to have it.

People like to make conditions of conditions and notions of notions but what they fail to see is all of the consequences. A lot of people cannot see because they are so heavy laden and burdened that they only see what is closest to them which is negativity. And as long as they still bear hope and try to muster whatever faith remains, they will be healed and they will destroy, shake off their dust and rebuild. It is the ones who no longer try, the ones who give up that remain motionless to their demise.

"You have to try, cus is you haven't tried you haven't lived." -William Parrish

Your life is not cheap and will not be disregarded by the one who made it.

When the rain falls it don't fall on one mans house.

Re'bel, from a predictable life. Surprise yourself and recall how strong you actually are.

Re'bel, from the cliques, from what the people say... recognize who you are and put your doubts to rest.

Re'bel. Let it go. Wake up. Choose well.
