Know That the Creator of All, Knows All
By Joshua Dean Smith
The World In The Year 2020 Estimated to have 8 Billion people on Earth. 4,200 different religions. Endless job opportunities. So much free will. From birth to present you are trained. Trained to go to school at 3 years of age. The curriculums chosen from the Government. 15 years of school before you get to chose whether you would like to continue school or jump into a job.
By the age of 18 you may or may not have a direction, most don’t have that specific direction. A large sum of your early twenties, you still don’t know what to do. From the age of 18-25 you’re playing life. You have responsibilities that you have never had before. You have deeper relationships, multiple different jobs. You’re trying to figure everything out. In this age, time is miss used. Not used accordingly. With technology, relationships, media, jobs, religions, you tend to be very distracted. You also don’t know what to believe. You live in a society trained, and conformed.
To this date Christianity is the largest form of religion. I find my faith and hope in that. God, Jesus Christ. Many go along with no purpose at all. Living in auto pilot. There is a quote that says “only dead fish go with the flow.” And that is society. We are suppressed, controlled, and civilized. It is only the small percentage of people that beat all these things listed above. It isn’t easy. To be able to control your thoughts, to beat addictions, to deter the distractions in every way of your life. Forming good habits. Instead of doing what is easy, or what everyone else is doing.
These people that realize this are the people that shape the world. However there isn’t enough of us. You can call us the alphas of the world for the better. Having a deeper understanding of life can make all the difference. One reality that I’ve come to realization of is the word Love. It is the most powerful thing in this world. Love can overcome the laziness, the hate, the anxiety, the darkness you may be facing. It allows you to be genuine, and authentic. To give upon others that NEED it because it isn’t offered enough. We live in a jagged society. Most people on edge. Or quote on quote living on the edge of life and death. In the 25 years of living I have seen both.
I’ve seen the trenches, and the most beautiful rainbows. Living with expectations, and also absolutely none. Asking questions all along the way. Trying to ultimately understand this life. Some can say this is a fucked up life. But ultimately it is so beautiful. To our knowledge we only get one chance at Life. Some think we may be reincarnated. But one thing for sure is that we will live with the unknown until death. So what is important NOW? What will we leave behind after we are gone? Who do you want to be? What impressions are you leaving on others? At the end of the day your relationships,and encounters with others is what is going to be left behind.
Three things to close… Past. Present. Future. It is important to learn from the past but not to keep reliving it. It is important to plan accordingly for the future. You would be a fool not to. Lastly, the present. The most important state to be in. Live your life just. Wake up knowing that you have a purpose for this day. Don’t dwell about yesterday because this life gave you another opportunity today. Broaden your mind. Step outside your comfort zone. Man up, woman up, and be the best for yourself but also unto the others you come face to face with daily.
Know that the creator of all, knows all. You can guide your life by prayer. It is the most powerful tool outside of Love.
