2011: Collage of Conscious Thoughts

Your Life Equation

Your Attitude + Your Choices = Your Life

Repeat after me:

“I am responsible for my feelings, thoughts, and actions, AND I control how I view and react to the world.”

Faith, Hypocrisy, and True Intentions

I am beyond fed up with Christian hypocrites! It’s astounding how many delusional people hide behind their religion, as if church attendance alone defines righteousness.

But in the end, it won’t matter how often you attend church.

What will matter is how you treat people and what your true intentions are.

Maybe it’s time to worry less about what people think

and more about what God would think.

Because appearances?

They can be very deceiving.

Trusting in God’s Plan

Having faith in God isn’t about begging for your way—

It’s about putting it in God’s hands

and trusting that He knows best.

Life in Shades of Gray

What is black to one person is white to another.

But nothing in this world is purely black or white.

Everything concerning human beings comes in shades of gray.

None of us is perfect, without flaws.

Living for God

Living for God isn’t just about church and fellowship.

It’s about love—loving people no matter what.

It’s about kindness—showing compassion to ALL of God’s creation.

It’s about service—helping others mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Mother Teresa wasn’t known for just going to church.

She was known for touching lives, regardless of faith.

God’s true intentions for mankind are not found in obsession with religion

but in genuine love—

Not just for those who agree with you,

but especially for those who don’t.

The Power of Thought

THOUGHT = Conscious Acts of Creation.

Being True to Yourself

I am only me—that is who I choose to be.

If I weren’t me, then who else would I be?

You can lie to others,

but never to yourself and God.

So be true to yourself.

That’s what truly matters.

Loving Myself

I love myself. Just thought I’d put that out into the universe.

To love yourself is to love God.

My World vs. Yours

I might be the weird one in your world,

but in my world, you’re the weird one.

And guess what?

I much prefer my world.

But hey, visitors welcome!

Spiritual Growth

Spiritual growth is learning to live in harmony with the Universe

through love and compassion for ALL of God’s creation.

By practicing patience, understanding, kindness, and love,

you radiate that energy into the world.

There are many paths to God—

everyone must choose their own,

with the conviction God places in their heart.

God allows us freedom of choice,

and even when we choose against His will,

He allows us to learn and grow from it.

The Human Experience

Life is the soul’s journey of growth—

helping, living, learning, loving, and understanding.

Every experience has a purpose.

And that purpose is growth.

Without suffering, the soul could never truly know compassion.

When you find acceptance,

you find understanding and contentment in your heart.

Prayer & Anger

Prayer calms anger.

It makes life mean more.

Anger is a part of life—

but how you handle it defines your character.

Love never dies.

It just changes.

Beyond Human Emotion

Emotions are so human.

Just imagine an existence driven only by love and true understanding.

Can you grasp the overwhelming peace in that?

It would be nice—

but impossible in the human realm.

The Best Things in Life

The best things in life are free!

Never lose sight of that.

No amount of money or material wealth

can replace what comes with no cost.

Patience & Tolerance

Loving from a distance is easy.

It’s loving up close and personal that’s hard.

Patience & tolerance are not my best friends.

Sure wish they were!

Hoping for a better tomorrow.

Curiosity vs. Boredom

They say curiosity killed the cat.

I say boredom did!

LMBO.

The Past’s Hold

Sometimes, it’s easy to get lost in the past.

I know we’re supposed to live in the present,

but sometimes I just can’t help myself.

So much on my mind…

Hoping it fades soon.

Sigh.

Learning & Growth

A person learns from life what their mind allows.

You have to want more to get more.

Knowledge isn’t given.

It’s taken.

Inner Conflict

There is a conflict within me—one of resistance and struggle.

I am sad yet happy.

Angry yet forgiving.

Empty yet fulfilled.

Heartless yet compassionate.

Hopeless yet full of hope.

Lost yet found by God.

Honest yet secretly hiding.

Bold yet shy.

Lonely yet surrounded by the world and God.

Needing yet giving.

Unloved yet loved.

The internal conflicts are never-ending.

But through understanding, acceptance, and release,

one finds inner peace.

It is a never-ending journey—

but it is my destiny, my goal.

Reflections & Choices

There are choices in our past

that have led us to where we are now.

And there are choices ahead

that will shape where we go next.

Understanding how we got here

can help us shape a better future.

Beauty Without Substance

Beauty without substance is like a fake diamond—

pretty to look at but with no real value.

Never Give Up

Life is a mountain,

and I am determined to reach the top—

no matter the obstacles in my way.

Lessons in Parenting

Does your child reflect who you are as a parent?

If they had to demonstrate what they’ve learned from you,

what would they show?

Mistakes are inevitable—

but how we handle them defines us.

Lift Others Up

No matter how you feel,

lift others up.

It is always more fulfilling

to make a positive difference.

Love, Hate, & Judgment

Love and be loved.

Hate and be hated.

Judge and be judged.

Show compassion,

and it will be given back to you.

Consequences & Accountability

Some people make it difficult

for good-hearted people to have compassion for them.

There are consequences for actions.

And it’s time to take responsibility.

There’s a difference

between loving a family member

and enabling them.

Learn it.

Forgiveness Challenge

Goal for today:

From the depths of your heart, forgive someone for a past transgression.

Unload the baggage.

You don’t need it anymore.

Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetfulness—

but when you think about what was forgiven,

there should be no negative emotion left.

Replace it with compassion and understanding.

Final Thoughts

I believe that if you dig deep enough,

you will discover that you have the power to change your life.

Just have faith in yourself.

Have the courage to embrace transformation.

Search for meaning.

Start your spiritual journey.

Once you take that first step,

each step will become clearer and easier.

Love, forgive, and have compassion for those you don’t understand—

for they, too, are simply trying to find their way.

And always remember:

You are a spiritual being having a human experience.

Our Sojourn Through Time And Space

Our Sojourn Through Time And Space

By Robbyn Wallace

Our purpose in life is to become whole; to learn the lessons needed to accomplish such a task is available through our interactions with one another. As we are born we become unaware, as our sojourn begins and takes form. Who are we? We are so much more than this simple human existence, which is a shell of who we really are. Hidden by human characteristics and human experience, struggling with the human ego. The more love, compassion, faith, etc. we embrace, the closer we become to wholeness and our trueness. We each have a path, a journey. To be more compassionate of one another’s own journey, the more we become whole and one with our creator. We need one another more than we realize, cause without the lessons we provide one another we can never become whole. These lessons are not always easy, but we should always be compassionate towards even our enemies. Forgiveness is the key; there is no true vindication through revenge or vengeance. If one lets anger and fear reside within them, wholeness will never be possible. Let go of anger and fear, for it does nothing but hold us back from our true potential. Just let go and be free. Practice makes perfect those things we most desire to grow within us. Find peace and solace in each moment of life, for there is joy to be found even in the most mundane of experiences. Others weaknesses allow opportunities for growth, your weaknesses also in return can provide opportunities for others growth as well. Together we can help one another find the wholeness and oneness with our creator. Love comes from within and radiates outward, effecting all that our existence touches. Each of us holds the power to help others. Helping others is something that comes from within; one should not help with ulterior motives in mind. Love without expectancies, even when love is not returned in full. Love should always be unconditional, even when choices are hard and results are not desirable. Life is too short to expect anything less of oneself!! 

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A PARENT

 

“What Does It Mean To Be A Parent”
by Robbyn Wallace

There comes a time in your life when you have to make choices, actually many times in your life. The choices you make will determine the outcome, and consequences are inevitable. How far would you, as a parent, go to protect your child, even from the possibility, from being hurt? Sometimes these choices are so hard that you do not know how you will survive them. Especially when the choices being made have to be done at the cost of others feelings, even those that may or may not be guilty and that you love so much. Making the right choices for yourself and your child, this is most important.

What does it truly mean to be a good parent?

Selfless and unconditional love, without being an enabler. Sacrifice, of people and material things. Protecting at ALL costs. Knowing that you would lose the world and anything in it for your child without a second thought, and doing the right thing. Absorbing all the hurt and pain, being a cushion of protection. Nurturing, sharing, loving, protecting, and being a good example, someone that can be admired and respected in their eyes. Doing what is right, even when it isn’t easy. Practicing what you preach so that they learn to do the same. Showing compassion for them, and for all God’s creation. Discipline, structure, and teaching when necessary. Tough love, when necessary. Quality time with them is more important than quantity, even though quantity is great when available. Respect, given and received. Being honest and teaching honesty, no matter the consequences. Participating, being an active role, and playing an active role, in their life with consistency. Learning and growing together as a family. Being the rock when they need something solid to lean on. Loving… Laughing… Living… Allowing them to see the humanity in you as a parent and a person. Being accessible to their needs. Teaching morals and values that will last a lifetime, a foundation they can build upon for the rest of their life. The list is endless, but this is a start…

There is no mountain too tall, no valley too low, no ocean to wide to be the best parent you can be to your precious, gift(s), child(ren). Love them, protect them, cherish them and do not take them for granted, for you are not promised tomorrow to make it right with them… Do it NOW!! Let them know they are loved, cherished, and appreciated for the wonderful person they are and can be. Teach them to have compassion for all of God’s creation, in return they may love and be loved beyond our expectations!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE MY PRECIOUS, WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL, INSIDE AND OUT, DAUGHTER, HEAVANNAH HOLLAND! SHE IS MY WORLD, MY LIFE, MY DREAMS, MY HOPES, AND EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED AND NEEDED IN LIFE. T.I.F.E. (TO INFINITY FOR ETERNITY) ALWAYS AND FOREVER. I AM ETERNALLY GRATEFUL FOR THIS WONDERFUL GIFT THAT I WAS BLESSED WITH.

MYSELF WITHIN

Myself Within
By Robbyn Wallace

It's okay, you can come out to play. No need to feel ashamed, you are not to blame. Truth will set you free, it's okay to just be me. No shame out there nor in here, there is nothing left to fear. There is more than just hope, it's time to learn to cope. For I am just me, who else could I possibly be! So much to give, so go out and live.

Soul Journey

 

Soul Journey
By Robbyn Wallace

Complacent with my thoughts, hoping for burst of ideas to form a magnificent ideal! Tired of being trapped within this confinement, ready for true freedom! So much compassion wasted on nothingness! Wanting more, needing less, and having what is. Struggles drowning my spirit within. The light at the end of the tunnel is still so dim. Trying to live up to expectations and desires, falling short. Not giving up, just struggling to continue. When will I have my hearts desire, wondering if it will ever come again. Discouraging at times but hopeful always, I will fight til the end. Without my dreams I am nothing. Dreams not consisting of earthly pleasure, but fulfillment of my soul. My purpose nothing but divine til the end of time, then passing into infinity is what I most desire! I am a spirit having a human experience, not the other way around!
