 Erratic Musings Of The Sleep Deprived
What do you do when you can't give up? And you can't give in? But the answer seems so difficult to find?

When you're not sure of the goal or the destination and you have no direction or map and you're just following blindly, how do you do it? How do you give up control of your life to fate or to God and just simply...be?

Surely a force of the heart is not enough to hold people together, is it? When so many odds are stacked against you and the judgement of the world is upon your shoulders, how are you to carry on? Together? On your own? How does it work? When you struggle to fight the war but you're not even sure who your enemy is or what battle you're in, what do you do?

Never in my life have I hated telling the truth. I wish I could stack up a pile of lies to hide behind and simply be. But no, I can't. I have to tell the truth and be judged and be condemned in the silent minds...or at least that's what it feels like. It feels like judgement all over again, the one thing I've tried to avoid. I never wanted to be lumped into a crowd, into an "everybody else," into a fool who makes foolish choices and is just absolutely insane. I'm not....am I?

Am I blind? Or stupid? Or a hopeless romantic? I'm not as big of a sap as I used to be. And I'm realistic. I don't see myself as a hopeless romantic...so what's the deal? Why am I doing this? Except for the fact that I want to...and I'm not sure how this is going to work...what am I doing this for? Why am I risking hurting someone and myself when we find out it's only doomed to failure--if indeed, that is the outcome?

What's the outcome? Why is there no way to know? Why can't we just have a glimpse of the future to make sure we're on the right path and we're not going astray? Why not?

...Harper.

Love conquers all - all judgements - but you have to Love yourself before you can truly Love anyone else...
I really believe both of those statements, and I am a fairly cynical person.
Good Luck!

I do believe that to be able to love anyone esle you do need to love yourself first. I'm not nearly as certain whether I believe love conquers all...perhaps I am even more cynical than you.; ) Thanks!

To understand what cannot be seen, yet it still remains there for all to see. No one has touched it, yet everyone has walked through it. You were told that you have a Soul, I am telling you that you have Four Gifts, that make up whom you are.

You see having a soul is only one of the four gifts.
Your soul tries to run the whole show for you, as to say. You prepare to go to sleep and yet you are still thinking of what you have done early that day.

Also thinking of what you are going to do for the next day, a day you have not lived!
Your Soul feels that it controls everything. 'Thinking, Feeling, Seeing, Touching, Eatting, Drinking, Smelling. . .

You come to believe that you have no choice.

Well I am telling you that you still have three other gifts, you have not connected to!

One has the ability to travel into the future and into the past gathering information and returning back to your Soul, dropping off this information and continuing on. This information will help you through your days ahead.

Now to the other two gifts, which like it or not.
One was given to you by your father and one came to you from your mother.

The one that your mother gave happens to be all of your internal organs and the Gift to become a Life Giver.

The one that your father gave to you.
When you look into the mirror, you are looking at the gift that your father gave. Your Guardian what we look like to all others who can see us.

These very same gifts have been pass on from one generation to the next generation and so on. Starting with the first man and first women. These gifts continue, until the last two people die here on this planet.

THE JOURNEY OF ONE

To know the outcome would change how you ride the ride... it would change how you learn and what you learn and you may not see things you would have noticed and learned from because if you know how it ends you may not pay as much attention.

I really lked this blog because it sums up so many fears and questions that so many of us have. I do not think anyone will be able to answer all of these, because the answer is going to be so different for so many people.

But I will give you my take on th first part... you aked:

**What do you do when you can't give up? And you can't give in? But the answer seems so difficult to find?

When you're not sure of the goal or the destination and you have no direction or map and you're just following blindly, how do you do it? How do you give up control of your life to fate or to God and just simply...be?**

as far as giving up controll to fate... or to a god... I do not beleive we are suppose to do that. Depending on what god you believe in or what natural event... or if you think we are a science project from some alien a million light years away. I think we are given the tools to go through life, and each person may have different tools but we all have a way to make it all work. It is not always easy, but we can do it. If we give up controll and just let fate take it or let god take it off our hands that is like saying I have not faith in myself you do it for me. I think instead this should be a time where we look deeper in ourselves and find the tool we are missing, the thing about ourselves we missed. Without failure we do not learn, but how we deal with it shows us who we are.

So I guess for me, each time I fail, I look at why and what I can do to make myself better. I then give thanks for the tools i have been given because without them I would not be who I am. I am not sure if any of this sounds good... sometimes things sound much better in my head.

Wonderful comment, thank you. Much food for thought. :)

"To know the outcome would change how you ride the ride... it would change how you learn and what you learn and you may not see things you would have noticed and learned from because if you know how it ends you may not pay as much attention."

I do like your thought pattern. :)

You're welcome. :)

One must listen to their own heart. There are no wrong choices in life. Everyone else will have their opinion but nobody can argue with success. If one is
willing to accept the consequenses of their decisions and not wait for others to save them from unhappiness then the answers are in the living of ones' life and they are ready to take on the mantle of adulthood. And you will succeed...

Every one of us who have transitioned from child to adult have crossed this bridge...

As DouglasMB did, you also speak with much wisdom, thank you for sharing it with me. :) These are things in my heart I know to be true, however, with a lack of sleep I seem to become a doubting Thomas...err...Thomasina.

Knowing the future would suck ass and totally make life boring. It wouldn't be worth living if you had ANY idea what was around the bend. All these 'setbacks' and all the shit that people go through creates character.
Posted by  Wintersong  on 2009-09-27 11:06:00 
  
Yes, I understand well how setbacks build character, as you now know. Sleep deprivation makes me question everything in the universe. ;)

It's an adventure, it's a mystery, it's a drama, it's a love story, it's a comedy. A soul's destiny arrives one second at a time. You are the heroine.

If God showed you Heaven, how would the next 50 to 75 years of your life be like? Would you rush through your life to finally get to the end? Would you end live here prematurely to get there? Or would you be depressed till your dying day knowing whats ahead and not being able to enjoy it yet? God tells us just enough to motivate us to want to go there someday, but not enough to make us suicidal or depressed....I've come to terms with God that...That He is God and I am not,that He created me thus owes me no explainations...And who am I to question the all knowing,all seeing and all powerful God of this universe....With every mistake a lesson is learned....With every success confidence is built....With every blessing from God our faith is strengthened...With every inspirational moment our spirits are lifted to new heights...And with every challenge our creativity and character is developed.....Lou

So very well said, Lou and I take heart in your words and heed them. :)

A great post. (I am reading the first ones last - on a mission)
I do not know if the answers to the questions have come to you as of yet.
You do think much like I do as far as all of the questions. I think you
will do just fine from what I see so far. I enjoyed reading this post.
I do not have anything brilliant to offer. I think you have your own
brilliance and will figure it out in time. One line from a movie I recently
saw comes to mind though. "You have to be the leading lady in your life."
I liked that.

How wonderful to find a new comment (also to stumble across a comment from Lou) on my very first post. :) I don't know what prompted you to delve into my Thoughts drawers, but thank you for delving, vestiges.

I love the line; it is not a familiar one to me (I'll have to Google), but I like it very much. :)
