Five bucks with the dotted picture

FIVE BUCKS
Metaphorically speaking each and every one of us has five bucks. If there is a measuring device we can measure the smarts, strength and the ability to live for self and help the others around.

Say you are standing on the bank and you have to get to the other side of the river. First of all you have to think, plan and then act on your plan. You can gather some branches, make a raft and row yourself to the other side.
If the wisdom, power, energy and the ability to do everything is measured, metaphorically it is worth five bucks for each individual. If the whole community contributes their fiver to build a bridge, everyone in the community can cross the river whenever they want to.
Logically a single individual is weaker than the big family depending, if they get along and work as a unit. One can be very smart and have a lot of resources to hire lot of helping hands to function at a higher level. Either way that smarts still comes from the five bucks.
Fighting infectious diseases like Ebola out break, issues with Global warming, spread of internet or even building of space station is best functioning or its usefulness is meaningful if the humanity comes together with five bucks at a time.
An example, a human cell is meaningless on its own but with the right circumstances, it has the power to create a whole and functioning body of the human being with limitless potential. We each have trillions of cells in the body, individually cell may be insignificant but when work together the potential is limitless. There is a new world record of dead lift, someone just sent me on the face book and it is one thousand one hundred and fifty five pounds. I see there is a potential to spare, because I know for sure someone will break it some time in the future.

A child tries to mimic his/her parents and feels the limitations because of the comparison between him/her and grown up parent.
I am using this comparison between God and the human individual. Just like the child we put everything impossible for us on God’s shoulders. We expect that God should take care of every thing what concerns us.
In case of our inability to take care of the task at hand, we pray to God and ask for help. Believing that you are going to get help is great, but after you have used up your five bucks, just like the individual who built the raft to cross the river. The idea of building a bridge and community coming together is God speaking through the human individuals. That means all the advances made by the man kind is related with God as well. These advances are made because God and the mankind are evolving with each other’s help.

If you separate yourself form God which most religions believe we are. That is the reason even the most innocent of us is considered a born sinner and insignificant according to the belief systems. I believe each and everyone of is a third equation in the grand scheme of life and that is because of that fiver, it is not going to go very far if you believe that you are born in sin.

As an individual you have been put down for thousands of years, if you really buy into that you run the risk of being worthless, thus become the victim of the inferiority complex, which would give all the business and the powers to the religion runners. You want to see the proof just look at the majestic buildings of the religions, yet regardless of the head pounding or bowing down on your knees you can’t find God in there.

The real God is found in the practical help to the humanity. There was a survey in New York, what made people really feel happy? The over whelming answer was that when people could help an other human being in need. This is the spiritual happiness everyone is seeking when they go to the mosque of church. Ask yourself if you are spiritually getting fulfilled by going to mosque or church. If not go out and find a charity and pray practically, which is related to the God who lives through the humanity.
When you chew more than you can handle it is usually related with the fiver you have.
Ask yourself if you are the one who expects the community to provide you with bridges, or are you the one who can built the raft and row your self to the other side of the river.
Instead of sitting on the bank of the river, you should take charge and live your life on your terms. If you are waiting and expecting the community’s help, you don’t respect your fiver and have no idea of its value.
You think it is not enough to function at the level you desire so you fail before even trying. Society has brain washed you and you don’t even try to use your fiver to live your life. There is an attitude of inferiority complex and lack of self worth.
The trail blazers usually appreciate and value that fiver, they take charge and dive into the adventures of life fearlessly.

Happiness is usually related to the understanding of your ability to be flexible, when you accept your limitations and at the same time understand your potential. You can easily understand that, when you become a CEO of your life, other wise you are going to be swept away by the politics of God, Devil and the politician who is running the religion.
There is always a hidden picture, and it is you who has to clear all the influential fog of the time and era you are born in. After all you are the one who is mortal with all the responsibilities of your individual happiness and contentment.

If you get caught up in the personal strength and believe that you have way more than the five bucks. You became a doctor or a successful business man or a super star in any field by your personal efforts, or believe that you are doing everything by yourself is not acceptable to me, because I believe, you have been helped all along.

From helpless baby to grown up, there has always been help all along to keep you alive. The sky is not falling, the oxygen is still there yet you have no control over it. That is external, and the body is so complex internally that we still don’t know everything about it. At times the best doctors can’t save a dying individual whose time is up so running the show is not a task of the one single individual.

The functioning of the body is no less than a miracle, if you still believe you are doing everything you are making your life too simple, just ask the sick about the vulnerabilities, especially to the patient with the brain disease who had been the most successful in everything what he/she has touched throughout his/her life.
I am not humanizing God, I am trying to clear the clutter to make my case, so we can take our individual responsibilities and stop killing each other over unfinished and incomplete knowledge of God.
Your fiver is a direct connection between God and the man or a woman, there is no middle man everyone is blessed with the free will so it is not related with the religious beliefs it is deeply related with the personal spirituality.

The politics of sense of belonging and the knowledge about the falls securities has come to the point, that we need to cross the lines of group politics and enter into the zone where the humanity is an evolving organism and one entity. The God and mankind live through it.
As the human individual evolves and gain strength, God strengthens as well.
Today instead of throwing the innocent virgin over the cliff to please God we can save lives by predicting the path of the storms and tsunamis. We have a lot more knowledge about the earthquakes but no control yet, because we are a work in progress.

It may be against the popular beliefs but I personally don’t believe God punishes, is a destroyer or wants sacrifice, it is all related with human emotions and with incomplete knowledge. If God was responsible for everything, our five bucks, free will or our justice systems throughout  the world become meaningless.

Just think and feel if you use your free will everyday, what makes you to use the politics of God and the Devil? If you dig in, and be honest you will find your sense of belonging is getting the best of you. As a CEO, if you can strain out the politics of all kind you will find the spirituality.
Regardless of the differences humanity gets together when natural disasters hit. These are the glimpses of God through the human beings, only if one wants to see it.
We want God to protect us because we have been taught to put God in that position, where God can do any and everything, with this notion we take our five bucks out of the equation and sometime face with the disappointments.

A father or a mother protect the child with the best of their efforts but sometimes it’s not enough. A teen can be reckless and handful, regardless of the availability of the help, it can be difficult for them see and appreciate that help because of the hormones. No parents can help and control one hundred percent of the time. When a grown up human acts like a teen it is because of the incomplete knowledge and obviously the lack of understanding of the hormones. Our chemicals dictate how we feel, thus we get our egotistic emotions go wild when it comes to the knowledge of God.
Sure we have to know more about our emotions, the entity who runs the computer and uses the information has to have the upper hand.

Whether we like it or not there is new theme of religion, and yes that is the human individual rights, even Pope has to changed his tune because the world is changing. Just look at the Irish referendum, human rights are the number one reason a Catholic country allows a gay marriage.

I believe a religion is a spiritual system which should be pure of politics. Having to set the religious rules as the law belong to the political arm of the religions which has no place in spirituality. Religions have put their foot in their mouth because they connected God with their laws, thus can’t be changed. All laws have to have the reason and the foundation, and God is in the zone where no one knows for sure or I would say one hundred percent. That is what makes me against the capital punishment as well because our knowledge regardless of the area, is never complete. Killing someone with out the complete knowledge is not acceptable. The proof is in the pudding, just look at our everyday progress, from the technology to science to human relationships we are evolving into a new era regardless of the resistance put by the conservative and religious people.

DOTTED STORY: CONTROL VERSUS HAPPINESS
May24th 2015
I took the kids to McDonald’s long time ago, they use to give the coloring sheet with the meals. It had a maze, a picture and then an other picture with the dots and numbers. If you can read the numbers you can create the picture and then color it. I believe God has a picture for all of us but the numbers are not there for us, so it is the individual who has to connect the dots to create his/her respected picture. If you are lucky you can find the right one and stay healthy, happy and successful, otherwise you may follow the trends of the society and try to create a picture of influences, thus lose your happiness and eventually health. If you feel that you are successful regardless of your happiness or health it is your personal choice. As a mortal you can’t sacrifice your whole life for the other people’s approval, or spend whole life to fit in, impress them or be admired by them.

Imagine giving a picture to the child with no numbers. He/she would still have to connect the dots to create a picture but would have to rely on his/her imagination. If he/she is unable to create the picture, he/she will get frustrated which could further complicate the problem.

That is why there are so many frustrated people – we all have an idea in our minds of how we would like our lives to be, but we must use our imagination and connect the dots. We can also rely on outside sources, like our parents. If we are fortunate, we can figure out a pretty good picture. If not, we run the risk of messing up the picture and
spend our lives trying to fix it .

A less-than-perfect picture can create a personal struggle, which can last an entire lifetime. This frustration can cause adults to act like a child and mess up the whole picture, or even worse, walk away from it all. Patience is the key to avoiding this situation.

You also need to have faith in the picture you were given. You must examine if it is your desires that are causing you the frustration, usually the desires are related to the influences of the society. You need to accept the fact that nature plays a strong role in your life.
For instance, suppose you were destined to become a mechanic, but instead you became an accountant, or you were destined to become a professional basketball player, but your parents forced you to become a doctor. It is unrealistic to expect that everyone will be successful in every career they choose. As a temporary being you have to be happy at all cost. The measure of the right picture is your happiness and contentment.

The definition of a successful life is determined by how content and happy you have lived. If you knew that life was like writing an exam, and that happiness and contentment are the answers how would you fare by following the life style you are following. Life on earth, a temporary period, means knowing how to manage your life to ensure, that it is fulfilling.
By nature you are meant to be a CEO of your life, and you should not limit yourself to being a manager of one department. Being successful without the happiness or health is no success at all.

You need to map out your life with the vision of a successful CEO, who could mange all departments with equal or balanced attention. It may be hard at times but you have the potential. Each and every one of us has the responsibility and the ability to judge and make choices with the gift of free will. If you have neglected the department of health or spirituality along the way, because of you were too busy taking care of other departments, you may regret latter in life. Without health there is unhappiness and with out spirituality the deeper happiness and contentment of life are unachievable.

Yes, it is all a matter of happiness. We have it all wrong when we want to be somebody we’re not. Society places pressure on us – high hopes and a lack of faith pushes the individuals to sacrifice and spend whole life as if everything is on the horizon which never comes and then it is too late. We are in this world where the salesman mentality rules: Push, push, push, and you will succeed, succeed to get what? hopefully its happiness.

Just think for a minute about what success means to you. It’s happiness in all parts of life. Having all the money in the world will not bring about happiness. If you were to have a terminal illness, you would realize that you are not here for eternity. Life is temporary, so live yours to the fullest. Life is about more than connecting the dots. You have a limited time for every thing; you just have to break it down into our 24-hours a day. You have to work, sleep, eat and still leave some time for fun. You have to be a believer for your picture to be complete. Don’t be afraid to let fate play a role in your life.

When we have a target in front of us, we can shoot an arrow, and watch it hits the target. The result is immediate, but sometimes, we have to shoot the arrow at an unseen target. That requires skill as well as luck. A lot of people who are bad shooters think they are messed up and blame themselves for everything wrong in their lives. We are not 100% of anything, until we reach to our potential. We probably use twenty percent of our brain power which makes us far from potentially what we can be. I believe spirituality, for example, works against boasting or bragging because it is not only you, who is making it all happen. It is that little oxygen you breath in first before you are able to make things happen. There is always somebody that makes you make things happen, and this entity can make you fail as well as succeed. The difference between you and other people is not just the effort or strategies you put into things, it is also the luck and destiny.

You can play music all your life in the bars or become a child super star overnight, just look around how many people want certain profession but end up doing something else. Ever wonder why? that is the dotted picture. If you are unhappy try something else you may find peace with in by believing and letting it go. If you achieve inner peace you may become more productive and useful to yourself and the people around you. Ultimately that is the foundation of the deep and inner happiness and contentment. Bottom line, Being productive period…..
