An Aspiring Creative's Prayer

Left with your graces
How great are your statements
Beloved is Sun
Beloved his greatness
I ask for your guidance
Seeking embraces
I ask for your blessing
Above it no greater
I'll live for your love and laugh in it later
When heaven embrace me, I'll lie in your favor

Tell me oh Mother or Father on high
You mentioned their presence
They painted the sky
If I be your semblance
Your powers be mine
How do I channel that same power in I


I wish to be creative, bring inwards outside
And give to these people what I claimed once mine
A feeling an inkling or some small delight
A laugh or cry or even a sigh

Im struggling oh Father or Mother alike
To find my emotions and pour them outright

See I know that you know me
You made me with pride
My parts were made whole when you laid me inside
You gave me my vision you gave me insight
You gave me my sanity when you gave me a mind
With all of these gifts you foresaw me no price
I mean not be reckless when I ask for your eyes

See, I want to be creative
To lay down punchlines
To do it I need your vision to discern all that rhymes
I want to make words that move others insides
I want to find rhythm that's why I need your eyes

And while I'm at it, your voice
To help speak through their minds
I remember when called Lazireth
All you had say was rise
While I don't aim to shorten ones life or demise
I want to call feelings and better your voice than mine

Oh wait Lord, your ears, for with them you hear
All wishes and prayers no static its clear
Ill need them to make sure there's no traces of fear
or doubt
or misplacement of hatred round near
So my songs carry blessing and speech the same too
Basically I hope in my senses
I'm just the same as you

Sooo..I'm going to share this because when I watched it, it damn near made me cry. Not related, we have come so far as humans with technology we can even give ourselves better vantage points of an already splendid expression of science and ingenuity. That's 99 Everything.

Think like a success

Where do you apply your energy?

What kind of thoughts do you experience while awake?

What kind of conversation do you have with others?

Do you often say you can not or do you often say you can?


What we do, think, and say affects what manifests in our life!
If you concern yourself with situations in gossip you will live a life prone to being gossiped about. If you concern yourself with growth and opportunity you will live a life abundant in just that. It's really quite simple what you think about you become about. Often times, we have people who worry about bad things happening to them all the time and then wonder why bad things happen to them. It's because in their mind they are cultivating seeds of worry which produces worrisome fruit(events,friends,occurrences) in their life.

Think of all the greats, and I am one to support finding your own way of greatness, but think of all the greats and what they thought about on a daily bases. It is consistent for all successful people that for a time they thought only of being successful until their lives physically aligned with their thinking. I would go as far as to say, then, that the fundamental step to becoming successful is to staying in the habit of thinking that you can become successful!

This is no easy task for sure. It requires diligence, a good work ethic, dedication, and most importantly a supporting cast. It is impossible on your own to always believe in yourself, you need someone to pick you back up when you fall, to remind you why you started ,or even to show you the next step. So incline yourself to sharing your positive thoughts and aspirations with others so that you might attract people who share those passions. They will become your supporting cast.

Often times, people will have a dream and not speak of it. They will think of it only in the shadows of the night and practice in the confines of their solidarity and that is what is called a waste of effort. If you ever want to do something and be truly great at it you must share it with those you love and don't love. I will tell you from personal experience that there is an energy exchange when someone wishes you well, gives you approval, and supports your cause. It is the reason so many helpless adults and adolescents find themselves addicted to the superficial attention and approval gained from social media. It is also the reason that celebrities go on to do even more seemingly unattainable things after they've become famous: Fans give them more energy to accomplish their goals. To be successful start small, don't use your own energy, gain the energy of the few and continue; stay strong and see it multiply exponentially as you better yourself and grow in faith and character and align your physical life with your successful thinking.

If reality is subjective and not definite (aside from the universal truths gravity etc) then why not think you can instead of thinking you cant BECAUSE YOU CAN IF YOU WANT!
