Planking… New phenomenon or not?

I seeing that many people are well taken to the new “it thing” called Planking. Oh wow, you are able to lay across an object straight without falling.

Great now here’s your trophy. 

It’s not something new and to me personally it’s not funny but I can see where people would say otherwise and I don’t object. At first I believed that planking was first introduced during the slavery era where it was the way of stowing many African Americans were forced to lay down on top of each other’s upon the planks of a slave ship's lower hold but it’s actually not.

It was first introduced back in Australia where people would just play dead. If you really think about, it’s done in our everyday lives. Just think about it.

All you have to do is to put your body face down to the ground (or any object) with your arms to the side. Yeah, that it. Don’t we do so when we are lying down in our own bed sometimes? But the phenomenon of it all is planking just about anywhere where it would be dangerous, a place you can get seriously hurt. But it’s definitely huge, I can definitely say. Every time I go through my facebook page there is someone planking for the fun of it. I’m guessing there is nothing better to do during the summer this year.

Though it still brings back the history of slavery where so many where chained down on the planks of ships. Yes, it is fun and enjoyable to watch to some but it is an insult to many.  The term was not used during that era, I truly don’t have the answer to the term that was used but I put in respect to those who do see it as an insult.

I wonder what’s next?

Inspiration - Law of success

Last night I was up watching BET and there was an inspiration show with Dr. Mike Murdock and it was quite interesting. Normally when I see inspiration shows late at night early mornings, I always associate them with asking for money so that you are blessed and that by "offering" you will be blessed.
But what he said really got to me and I immediately starting thinking and crying. Dr. Murdock was listing the 7 laws of the success.
1. The law of difference
2. The law of the mind
3. The law of recognition
4. The law of 2
5. The law of peace
6. The law of honor

7. The law of seed

He spoke about that being able to see what is right in front of you, controlling the mind to be focus, honoring in the lord and reap what you sow to get much more out of what you need.

As I got to thinking, I realized how that is so true. I never recognize what God has instilled in me. He said that everything that you need is right in front of you and that you just have to open your eyes to see it.
Many times you see something but you are not really seeing and that I think that, that occurs to me a lot. What about yourself? Take a minute and really think if that ever occur, I bet it does.
I always ask to be blessed and also ask the lord forgiveness and success but because the Lord has a way of doing things I always seem to think that I come up short.
Do you always have answer to someone else’s problem than your own even though it may be similar?
Recognizing the issue and what causes should allow you to develop the answer you need right?
Wrong, not if you are not willing to solve and resolve.
Dr. Murdock also speaks about the mind. Allowing yourself to be focus enough to visualize what you need and what you should be doing to achieve. Letting the mind control you in a positive manner provide the outcome you need.
Changing what you know will definitely change what you do because then you are not confined but are willing to experiment many different aspects in your life. 
We must honor what is great and positive and not doubt what has been given. When we honor us get the seed that is needed to be planted and we consume many harvests that can be cherished for all times.
How do we as people follow what is expected, it’s easy but hard at the same time when we have something that is holding us back.

Fighting the Inner Self Demon

Leader? NO, MAYBE?
Naive? YES
Unforgivable? DEFINITELY
Lonely? SOMETIMES
Weird? YUP
These are some of the things that I have to say that I  have felt in the past year. I am getting to a point to where at 26 I have nothing accomplished. Yes I  have an associate degree in Massage Therapy and Advance Therapy but I have not been able to use that degree since I was not able to pass the exam to get licensed. I felt like a loser and that I have wasted a year for nothing. Now that I am back in school I still feel insecure because I am surrounded by people who are smarter and financially stable then I am. I tend to compare myself to others and wonder what the hell am I doing here and why I am wasting my time. I failed my chemistry I and II and now I have to retake those classes again. I just do not understand what I am doing wrong.
Stupid? Yes
Comprehension? MOST TIMES
Anxious? YES
Highly favored? YES
What am I doing wrong and what can I do to make it better. Everyday I feel that I am not doing anything that is worth something. I think about all the things that I probably could do if I have just the right amount of funds and precision. I am eager to do something with my life then sit for it to occur.
I do thank the lord above for giving my life and providing the opportunities to do so but I just do not understand why I let myself feel that way. I know all things comes in times but sitting and not knowing is quite aggravating, dont you think?
Take charge? No
Creative? NO IDEA
Sad? YES :(
AM I CRAZY?????
