I am what She made me

I am what I believe

What I believe is what I feel

I allow myself to feel everything

My feelings become thought thoughts become beliefs beliefs become actions… or maybe the other way around, I don’t know

But I am what She made me

And I’m allowed to feel

EVERYTHING that MATTERS in LIFE, MUST BE BUILT !! … @bishopjakes

We love to work for others .., inhabit their dreams, accommodate and assist in their goals, often for no more than a paycheck. It would be understandable if we were in partnership, collectively working toward common goals. But that’s rarely the case, isn’t it?

Don’t spend all of your life being reduced to a laborer in the field. There’s another name for that, you know.

In 2019, Become the MASTER of your DESTINY. BUILD SOMETHING.

Message for the Gifted Pt 4/Finale: Most Kings, Envy, & The Purpose of Pain

In honor of #HOV50, I’m re-posting a blog I wrote in 2013. This post was 2 months after I 1st visited LA & knew I had to move here; 1 month after I wrote the post best known for its publication in the Amazon Bestseller “2 Billion Under 20: How Millennials Are Breaking Down Barriers & Changing The World.” The “Message for the Gifted” series was inspired! It’s one I re-read from time to time when I’m feeling down & need a boost. If you’re reading this, I hope it adds value to your journey in some way. Happy 50th Jay-Z! 

Most Kings/Why I Love You (Another Jay-Z Reference)***

These are the titles of 2 Jay-Z songs expressing cautionary tales of the demise of leaders. Jay-Z isn't just a rapper, he's a leader. He's a mogul on his way to becoming a billionaire. He was raised in the projects of Brooklyn, NY & bootstrapped his way up the corporate ladder by the grace of God. Jay said most who lived the life he did die or go to jail. He changed, followed his instincts at just the right time. “Good instincts” means listening to God’s voice.

He's an unreasonable man who came into this world without instruction, but he had good instincts. He lived enough pain to bury his fear & did what he had to do. He had the “instinct to increase” & did so by any means necessary. He wasn't given a lot in this life, but he's multiplied the gifts he was given 100 fold. Therefore, he's a fitting modern-day example of someone who's enacted this “Parable of the Talents.” And the fact that after a lot of hard work on his journey, he was blessed with the comfort of Beyoncè can stand as inspiration for the gifted but lonely. Much can be learned from Jay-Z. A lot of his works, especially his more recent volumes, speak to the struggles leaders face.

If you don't like Jay-Z, yet you want to be successful... quote me on this one, “never hate on someone who has that which you aspire to acquire.” You can learn something from anyone who has something you want. So don't waste your energy on anger, hatred, envy, etc (ie. criticizing the gifted). Instead, spend your energy learning from that person. There's a reason Jay-Z has an album series called “The Blueprint.” The box set is literally (with an architectural drawing & everything) the blueprint to his success. Because he's been writing songs throughout his journey, he's also leaving one of the most complete & accessible blueprints around. I recommend his book “Decoded” to anyone interested in creativity, success, or leadership... or who has an opinion on hip hop as an art form. The book was enough to convince Oprah of the validity of hip hop, & she was a very outspoken longtime critic. But enough about Jay-Z.

Jean-Michel Basquiat Charles the First

“Most Kings get their heads cut off,” the famous quote from the bottom left corner of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Charles the First, is the refrain of “Most Kings.” In this song as well as “Why I Love You,” he compares the pairs of Caesar & Brutus as well as Jesus & Judas. The troops are fickle. The “same sword they Knight you (with), they (wanna) goodnight you with.” & if you “try to teach these ****** how to be kings, but all they ever wanted to be was soldiers,” they may then consider you an outsider & have no qualms about coming for your head even though you love them. It may sound harsh, but it's true. Why? My favorite definition of leadership is, “creating a future for others that would not otherwise exist.” So in creating that future, you can become like those in Zion trying to unplug people from the machines of The Matrix which are feeding off of them.

But why would I work so hard to help people who may rise up against me? What if there are too many of them? Maybe I should do my work behind the scenes?

“Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies.”

(Psalm 23:5)

Bishop Jakes said that when you're surrounded by “haters,” that's most likely when God is going to bless you.

So now that you're blessed before them, how do you prevent them from becoming your demise? For that, you need great leadership qualities, but the saving grace above all others is not an acquired skill, but a gift. You need intuition.

Envy

I've expressed that these gifts are also a burden. I've told you that the struggle to create an external environment that matches one's internal visions can be maddening. I've shared that when you're a leader, the problems of those you lead become a burden you're constantly fighting even while you're trying to avoid an uprising from the troops you fight for but may be your ultimate demise. There's an internal conflict between your emotions & your purpose, & your rational mind & the work your spirit compels you toward. There's also external conflict between you & that which opposes you for attempting to lead; leading to a future that cannot otherwise exist. Yet people envy you & the envious ones will very likely prove to be the weak links in your organization & attempt to become your ultimate demise.

It's amazing that they envy you, the leader who has all of their problems & their peers' problems, plus your own, & that causes them to become yet another one of your problems.

So Bishop Jakes spoke on the sin of envy. He said, Never covet that which belongs to your neighbor because You Can't Handle It! You are gifted according to your ability. And when you gain greater abilities & have conquered the opposition on your level, you get to move up. If you try to move up before you're ready, you will destroy yourself!

Your life is about you & what you do with your gifts. When you put your gifts to their best use on your level, you'll rise above & can even be crowned with a new gift. And of course with that new gift will come greater responsibility & more opposition, but at that point, you can handle it.

The Purpose of Pain

One of my mother's favorite stories to tell is of watching men walk on hot coals in Hawaii. She was amazed they did it without flinching. So when they finished, she asked one how it was done. He explained that pain is simply an alert telling your brain that something is wrong. So when you acknowledge it & assure the brain that you are okay, you can dismiss the pain alert.

So why do the gifted experience such great pain?

Loneliness

If you're connected to others, that's a comfort. Being comforted is a reduction in pain. So when your purpose is so much greater than you, you will live in pain until you connect with whatever spiritual forces you need to fulfill your purpose. That pain is a constant reminder that you need to use your gift & connect to the source to make some changes. Deep companionship dulls the pain & can lull you into a false sense of security as you forget to go to the source.

The Brink of Insanity

Being haunted by visions that have yet to manifest can cause most creatives to get to the brink of insanity - I spoke of in my previous post - where they say, “I have to create this or I'm going to explode!”

Of course, one will not usually allow themselves to explode. LOL That would go against the most basic instinct of self-preservation, so that a person's will must become truly unbending. The most valuable lesson I learned from the season finale of the “Avatar: The Last Airbender” cartoon was, “to bend the will of another, your will has to be truly unbending.” So at the brink of insanity, you may find the unbending will to manifest your greatest potential.

“A reasonable man adapts himself to his environment. An unreasonable man persists in attempting to adapt his environment to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”

~George Bernard Shaw

Under Siege

When under siege, one must dig deep. This predicament is one of the greatest tests of character. It's a test of a true believer. In this situation, you must either stand up for what you believe in, or give up & allow your creation to be destroyed. This is a test of the strength of one's character, will, & conviction. Making it through & maintaining one's sanity is evidence of readiness to break through to a new level.

Dissent Amongst the Troops

The lessons learned from making it through a Siege prepares the initiate in part for this next level of attack. But where this attack differs greatly from the other is that previous sieges could easily be circumstantial. But at this level the attack is personal. Again, this is a test of the strength of one's character, will, & conviction, but it's also a test of the capacity of one's heart.

So why must the gifted endure such pain?

Fear is the anticipation of pain.

When the pain is present & there is nothing to anticipate, fear ceases to exist.

The Next Level

When all fear has gone out of the window, your most basic instinct of self-preservation is transformed into what I like to call “True Self Actualization.”

At that point, it's like Maslow's Hierarchy of needs inverts & the soul's highest need becomes your most basic need.

I'm at the point where my fears have been buried. The anticipation of pain has been buried in actual pain. It doesn't sound very pleasant, but it's the most powerful state of being.

From rock bottom, you're already lost to the world around you. All you have is the vision that haunts you & you know that manifesting it into reality is the only lasting solution to your ultimate peace.

When you feel you have nothing to lose, you Bury Your Fear & Expose your Talent!

Why? Because you have nothing to lose and everything you ever imagined to gain!

So here's my "Message for the Gifted:" Pain is Powerful!
