Poem: New Thinking

Have you been
torn from the seams
or does it seem
that the world is against you?
Don't fight that battle
stay focused on
your goals.
There are times when
the enemy will be
working overtime
but you've got
a bigger friend
in Jesus
so don't get mislead
or defeated
the battle is not yours
leave it in the hands
of the master
cause he gave you talent
that you can use
to inspire a nation
make innovations
build a godly reputation
they'll think
you're the hit sensation
but you really
are just shining
God's light
so don't let
the present plight
stand in your way
Pray
and put your hope
where it needs to be
don't worry about
what you can't see
be encouraged
and let God
do his thing!

You Can Improve Your Job Situation

Do you hate your job? Are you fed-up of the 9 to 5? Have you been passed over for a promotion? Then what are you going to do about it?

This is not an advertorial for some scheme or some plan. This is plain and simple. Are you the problem that is hindering your success? Think about it - it could be you. It's not the end of the world. You have to see how you can improve yourself. Change your attitude, hone your skills or take up a new class. You can also look for another job, retire or open your own business.

Don't let one bad experience stop you from progressing. Be optimistic and proactive. You have to believe in you! If you work in a large organization, ask for a rotation to another department. Get ready to work and you will do well. If you are one of those lazy employees - be honest with yourself. If you are old enough to, retire. If you are not, then you need to change your attitude or you will always see someone new making taking the opportunities you desire.

Change is in your hands.

Weaponists and Ants Nesters......funny names

Don't be afraid to be vocal, but first you have to put your thoughts together and make sure that what you are saying makes sense. Don't be vocal just so that you can take over something or be obnoxious. No one likes that and actually it's quite disrespectful.

If you are going to speak out, speak with a solid counter plan and a solution to the problem at hand. Some people just like to be heard or it's like they just want to stir up an ant's nest. The word that come to mind again is "weaponists". I have been using this word loosely on my personal Facebook page but only very few would understand.

There are a lot of wicked and spiteful people in this world. I won't waste my space to dwell on them. They'll get what's coming to them in due course from the most high.

Don't be a "weaponist" or an "ant's nester" because you are just stirring up trouble. Let's get it together and get our acts right. Leave the wicked, desperate and dirty minded and stay on the positive track.

Keep your head on!

POEM: No Weapons

I see them coming my way

I feel them in my back

and know they are coming at my heart

literally and figuratively.

NO WEAPONS I say!

It's not a military war but

an intellectual and spiritual battle

I'm not a fighter but a strategizer

Plan for me

Cause I got plenty in store for you

Games – yes wicked games

You think you’ve got me tamed

You don’t know what’s in store

Underestimate me

Cause you don’t know what

You have awakened

Get ready

Being Picked On

Sometimes we, as human beings, feel that we are being picked on by persons older than us or who seniority over us. However, we need to evaluate what it is about our behavior that people would want to talk, counsel or reprimand us about. Are we too lackadaisical, clumsy, nonchalant, rude, lazy or tardy?

Is it something that we need to evaluate about ourselves and make changes to our thought process, behaviors or attitudes? I can improve me and so can you. Now they say that an old dog can't learn new tricks... Are we old dogs? We are brave cats and we will take risks, try to excel and seek to improve on our weaknesses.

I am constantly saying that people have to be responsible for their own behaviors and I stand by this. Sometimes people pick on you because they want to see the best in you and for you.

Don't be discouraged.

POEM: I Owe a Poem

I think I owe the world a poem
but I really owe myself
cause when I put down
my figurative pen
that I use to compose a thought
I put myself in drought
because this is my creative
outlet
and you can bet
that it's not writer's block
and it's not that my pen
was locked up
I just got lazy or hazy
and no, I was not
smelling any daisies
but I miss it when I don't compose
it's like I'm not composed
because this is my life
it is my balance
my joy, my passion
so I can't let procrastination win
I have to write
and not only that
I have to share
because a poem hidden
in a mind, in a closet
or in a locked book
can't inspire anyone
so I share my word with you
hoping that you will enjoy it

New Pet Peeve List

You know what gets me mad:

1. People who do not value your time. You don't have to care about my opinion or agree with me but don't waste my time. I try my best to meet people's timelines and I expect the same.
2. People who do not live up to their responsibilities. There are days I barely have lunch so that I can do what I have to. People are out there doing foolishness and expect to come to you for help. That's definitely an irker.
3. When people try to pull the wool over your eyes like you're stupid when you are not. I might not be the brightest bulb but I can pick up on things. Don't play me like I'm stupid.
4. People who run their mouths about things that they don't know about or that does not concern them. Mind your business and fix your business before you get into someone else's.

I guess I am a little peeved today but sometimes the nonsense is too much. People just need to do what they have to do!
