Title: The Little Ropes That Hold You Down
Tags:
Blog Entry: Tonight as I placed my head on my pillow. I closed my eyes and opened my heart to listen to where the midnight editor was going to take me. I had been in bed for for about thirty minutes when the midnight editor told me to get up and write. I can just see Gulliver with thousands of little ropes all securing him firmly to the ground. He was much bigger than those tiny people that had strapped him down. We are much bigger bigger than those little voices in our heads too. We have allowed them to hold us captive in our own thoughts. The ropes that are holding us back are our own resentments toward them. We are the ones that give them permisssion to enter our heads. We are the ones that allow their negative attitude to invade our personalities. It is us that can't move forward becuase we are stuck in the past with ugly words words and unkind gestures. How do we release those bonds of resentments and quiet those voices that keep us tied down to our past. This is more of that clutter that we need to get rid of. We can't just throw it all out the door at once; we have to take babysteps to break one string at a time. The pain of this clutter has taken years to accumulate and will go away. You begin to let go of the pain by forgiving the people that have hurt you. Along with the the pain comes anger. Then the mad turns to sad and depresstion sets in. We lose ourselves because we have a hard time forgiving. I am not saying that you have to forget but if you will start to forgive then you will be breaking free from there grasp that keeps you from suceeding. Don't let evil from small minded people hold you down. My life made me who I am. If I had any other mother or father. I would not be me. It is because of everthing that has ever happened to me helps me understand in my own way. I didn't set out to do this but some-one put me on this path and knew that I would need to weather these storms in order to find the peace that allows me to open my sails and listen to the midnight editor's call. With each bit of resentment I release from the pain in my past I am building the foundations to a new life. I am thankful to every bad thing that has ever happened to me because without the bad I would not know how wonderful the god really is. After all the best revenge for those who said you could never be anything is to be happy with who you are. They can't take that away from you! Quiet those negative voices by recongnizing who they are from your past or present and forgive the. Someone hurt them once upon a time and it is that resentment that keeps them hurting others. Letting go of it stops the hurt forever. For your own sake forgive all and fill your sea of forgetfullness Love Plasticmortal
