Durban South Africa- Beautiful Place (misconception debunked)

Here is a video that I never got the chance to upload, because of internet issues. But i want to share it with you, because it goes along with my conversation about misconceptions. Check it out. It is less than 3mins. Think about it.

When all else fails... Tell the TRUTH! (Admit it part 2)

My mom used to have this saying... Well I think it is a general saying in the south, "when all else fails, tell the truth". I used to laugh like crazy when she would say that, because I have seen a lot of people resort to that. You try lying, but start getting caught up. So you lie some more, and that still doesn't work. After a while you start to feel like you're cornered. So what do you do?? Normally, it's right about there that you get this kind of comment, "alright, I did it" or "so what, maybe that did happen", or "I had no choice", etc. So only when ALL ELSE fails, do most people tell the truth.

But that is completely the wrong way of dealing with things. I was reading something a few months ago about "why" people lie. And the truth (no pun intended) is that most people lie to protect themselves. They lie because the are afraid to face the consequences of telling the truth. But you can't escape consequences. They have a funny way of finding you anyway. So stop running from them and face them. Realize that if you did something you need to suck it up and deal with what you've done. Point blank.

This idea of somehow escaping the truth is crap.

So don't wait until "all else fails"...

just TELL THE TRUTH.

I can do bad by myself... or Good!

I put a comment on Facebook this morning and I started thinking more about it as the day went on.

The comment said,

"Learn to be happy in your own skin. Why should you need others to surround you and make you feel complete?"

The truth is, that so so many people need someone else around in order to somehow validate them self. It's like they can do nothing alone. They are forever asking others opinions about decisions they need to make, and always running to others for comfort when things go wrong.

I would like to say to these people, "please toughen up". You're not always gonna have someone there to cry on their shoulder. You'll not always have people to pity you and make you feel a little better about the situation. You'll not always have others to make choices for you.

And by the way, you shouldn't want others to do for you the things that you are supposed to do yourself. So stop looking for validation, or support, or comfort, or whatever you are looking for in other people.

Find the strength to be happy no matter who's around you. But to do that, you must first start to love yourself. You must see yourself as being special enough to be happy with. So if you don't see yourself as being important, you need to do a self evaluation and figure out what is wrong. Is it that you are doing things that depreciate your self worth? Or is it that you are holding on to negative words that you heard in the past? Or is it little complexes that you have already wrestled with for years?

Whatever the case, you need to find it, address it, and deal with it, so that you can start to love yourself again. If you can't do it alone, seek help. But do it.

In the end, when you learn to be happy with you, it will be a heck of a lot easier to also be happy with others around. But the difference will be, that you're happy when they're around, but you don't NEED them around to be happy.

SNL Tim Tebow meets Jesus Christmas Dec 2011 Saturday Night Live

Watch the video below. It is stupid and upsetting to anyone who thinks like me. But I really just want you to see how far the media is going these day. At the end, please leave your comment and tell me if you feel this is "funny". Since it is comedy.

Honestly, this garbage doesn't even belong on my wall. But I am posting it, just to illustrate how far DOWN, the world has fallen. There was a time when stuff (or should I say crap) like this was not considered funny. But we have gotten to a point where what is good is laughed at. And you can say bad stuff about just about anything.

I am not OVERLY righteous or religious by any since of the word. I like to laugh and I like a good joke. But that's just it. A GOOD JOKE. I know not many people will care anything about this blog. But I get so sick and tired of this kind of garbage being considered funny, that if I can get at least one person to wake up and see that they should avoid this garbage, then I would consider it worth it.

Since everything is so public, I do believe in Jesus, and whether or not it is Him causing this young man to win football games or not, I don't think these jokers have any right to mock Him. So as far as I stand, this as well as many other things in the world are going too far. The media these days just plain stinks. So there you have it. Take it as you will.

P.S. I am through with SNL. They won't get a bit of support or time from me, ever.

Truth- It hurts going down, but is better than a lie

Would you rather be lied to, if it would make you feel better? Or would you rather hear the truth, no matter how much it hurt?

That one is a toughie for many of us.

Why?

Because on one hand, no one likes to hear bad news, or correction. But on the other hand, just because someone lies to you in order to spare you for the moment, doesn't mean that you will not have to feel the pain later.

It is much better to feel the pain now, than deal with an even bigger and far worst sting later. I know I am no different from any of you, and I hate to hear harsh words as well. But the fact is, I would much rather hear the truth than the lie. Tell me what you feel. Tell me if you don't like something. Tell me if I offended you. Tell me if you did something I won't like. Heck, tell me you don't care what I think! But please, please, don't lie to me. I hate being lied to, because the truth is so much easier in the end.

So if any of you are anything like me, you will share this with someone else who needs to be reminded that the truth is always better than the lie.
