what are you really made of?

I've had my share of bewilderment lately, and while most people tend to act scornful because they are actually forced to deal with unpleasant and potentially detrimental delimmas, I feel rejuvinated and alive like never before.

In my experience, a problem solved after a hours of research, trial and error, confirms that one is capable of expanding their determination and reach greater granularities of resolution. Such delimmas can only help in gaining an understanding of our reality matrix.

It is both a humbling and a learning experience when one has to deal with delimmas that they've not encountered before. This is especially true when the the livelihoods and perhaps even the lives of one's self and dozens of others hang in the balance. There is truly nothing quite like a situation that challenges one's will to survive, prosper and ensure the survival of others who share your fate.

Often we don't appreciate the significance of our lives, preferring instead to believe what society tells us, that we are "just little people who can't possible make a difference."

Think for a moment, if you will, about how your contributions fit into the lives of those around you. Perhaps you will realize that you are either doing something that affects the lives of many others now, or you are on your way to doing such things when the time is right. If neither of these are applicable, then it is probably time to rethink things.

I know it may sound elitist, but I've got to admit that I am somewhat disappointed in what I've seen, as it seems like most of the people I encounter during my day don't want to play their part in mastering their understanding and making a real contribution to the greater reality. Often, when pinned up against the proverbial wall, individuals with such an attitude will buckle under the stress and immediately begin seeking someone else to pass off the responsibility to; always looking for a way out and not for a way IN to the heart of the matter.

Whether or not this kind of a person realizes it, they are showing that they don't care enough about their own survival and the survival of those around them to even attempt to fulfill the role that circumstances have placed in their hands.

Those who would deny their role in ensuring the survival, prosperity and spiritual edification of themselves and the others with whom they share reality have my contempt. There will come a day when they realize what they have done and feel great regret for not having done what they could have to fulfill their role as given by the circumstances in their lives.

Never forget that we the people are the ones who ultimately decide the fate of the world and, while we may be deluded that it is otherwise, the survival and spiritual edification of yourself and those around you is in your hands. Now, more than any time in history, the lives that we live will echo in eternity.

Do you really have what it takes, or are you just a broken shell of a human being like most of us have become? Think about it...
