The Law of Reciprocity

Wikipedia Defines:  Reciprocity (res-i-PROS-sity) or RECIPROCAL  ( ree-SIP-ro-cal)  As a social construct, in response to friendly actions, people are much nicer; conversely, in response to hostile actions they are much more nasty.  The Bible, in  Luke 6:38 says;  " Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you ."

BE POSITIVE (from my 14 year old self)

BE POSITIVE Written by Rochelle Willis in the year 2000 Think positively, Look at the glass of milk 1/2 full instead of 1/2 empty. Take time to smell the roses, but keep the motivation to get things going. Make priorities you can handle. Work before play. Make sure you play. Go places. See things with friends and family. Meet new people and get to know your friends better. Be yourself. Everyone has different looks and personalities. You are unique. Get to know yourself, and Always, Always, be honest with yourself and others. Things always work out. Be a leader and a role model. Try your hardest in everything you do, and you'll be proud of who you are. Most Importantly... Be positive. then this, FROM MY 23 yr. old self..... _Try to Be Positive_ Why is negativity so appealing? It captures our attention like nothing else, and is the inspiration for so many of our actions. I can list right now over 50 words associated with negative emotions but damned if I can come up

Wake UP World

Wake UP World. Stop your dreamy slumber, where nightmares unfold and keep you under. Wake up, those demons have led you asunder. Your love and his mercy, in night, h as shined through, and here I AM, having Deja Vu Our waking dreams we're told to suppress Lest you find your self like the rest, of these day dreamy fools, these Naives, these ignorants, who see beyond hill tops, graves and cement. They see the dawn and its glorious Rise. Thy will be done, let your people survive the heart-shaking tremors of a human kind, reverberating through all, like a bell that has chimed, but forever ago, this bell was struck to a tune we all know, but have learned to mistrust. so Wake UP people. Now it is time, To take back our world, and claim Us as your kind, To plant and to reap, to eat and to sleep, with patience and waiting, yet called to our feet. Wake UP Humankind, These chills down my spine, did not come from fear, but from this place we did find, within our hearts, without our mind.
