What is Everything?



Some people say perception is everything—but let 's just toy with that idea for just a minute.

Trying to pretend or believe that perception does not matter may help you feel better about yourself, but it sure won’t change the way others perceive you, nor their actions towards you as a result.
So sure, perception is a big deal, but it is certainly not everything.  Not even the truth is everything.
So then, if perception is not everything and the truth is not everything? What is everything??

Nothing.  Nothing is everything; to tell the truth.

Ironic, eh?!
Let’s test this theory….Pff!!
Nothing?! What a load of crap?
What’s that…?
Nothing.
Alright, you got me, explain...

Here we go:


Nothing is everything because everything is nothing.  What the what?

Let’s break it down a bit here:  

The air, the universe, the clouds, --God! Human? Are all nothing.
I bet most of you are ready to throw stones at me now…what are you talking about!!!  God is everything.  I am somebody! Blah, blah, blah!!!  Come on… I can hear the protests…but wait, just let me explain.

You see, without air in our bodies we are nothing... right? No man has ever seen God, right? And if we can’t see something then nothing is there, isn't that right? So God is nothing. The air—what is that? Can you see it? Feel it? Taste it?  No. So it is nothing.  Therefore, everything that we now know as the truth is nothing.

What is the truth?

The truth is only a fragment of our perceptions (imagination) and our perceptions are based on our beliefs. Therefore, what we believe when it boils down to the truth, is nothing.  You may say that’s just a load of crap and maybe it is, but think about it just for a minute...  What’s that?! Nothing.  Anyway, just entertain the idea for a minute…really now…lol!

Full disclosure

Mind you, I believe in God and He is my Everything. Without Him, I am Nothing.  No pun intended.

Until next time,
Be Blessed. Be Bold. Be Strong. Be You!

Overcoming Distractions, Discouragement, and Discord

Life is full of light and darkness.   What matters most is what we choose to focus on and knowing what to let go of.   We've all wrestled with the demons of distractions, discouragement, and discord from time to time.   The sooner we learn to destroy them effectively, the sooner we will start walking into our destiny.   In this post, we will look at strategies to defeat these demons to ensure that they don't continue to disrupt our lives and career.   DISTRACTION : According to Google, distraction is anything that prevents us from giving our full attention to something else.   That said, distraction is not all bad. Sometimes we need to divert our attention from one thing or the other lest we become obsessive-compulsive about it—which is no good in the end. Even the scripture tells us there is a time and a season for everything. Distraction can be mental, actual, emotional, or spiritual.   It can be pleasurable or painful. It's all a matter of...

MEDITATION: The how and why

Meditation is an ancient practice that holds the key to inner peace, self-relaxation, and personal growth. It can be your path to tranquility, clarity of thought, and the attainment of your loftiest aspirations. So, why should you meditate, and how can you harness its incredible potential? Let's delve into the art of meditation, uncovering the 'how' and 'why' behind this transformative practice. Creating Your Serene Sanctuary Before you embark on your meditation journey, it's vital to find a serene space that allows you to escape the clamour of everyday life. Whether you choose to sit or lie down, the location should exude a sense of calm. Silence, or even some gentle background music if you prefer, can set the stage for your meditation session. The Path to Relaxation As you settle into your chosen spot, take a moment to consciously relax every muscle in your body. This step is crucial, for it prepares you to embark on your meditation adventure. Gently close you...

X Don't Call Me Strong, Don't Call Me Resilient! Stop The Madness

  Dear Black People, What I am about to say may sound controversial to some, but this is a subject that I am passionate about.  It behooves me to speak to the plentitude of posts and podcasts going against the strong Black woman and resilient narratives as stigmatizing to the Black woman in particular. I am a Black woman who considers herself strong and resilient. I teach my daughters to be strong and resilient. I teach my clients to be strong and resilient, and I am proud to say it. I will remain strong in the Lord.  I get that they are trying to decolonize certain stereotypical behaviour that continues to permeate society, but what does being strong have to do with decolonization? Our strength is like our blackness. It is what sets us apart. If Black women were not strong, there would be nothing left to decolonize—we would be extinct. My strength is in my weaknesses. So don’t apologize for calling me strong. Change degrading behaviour, and that will be enough for me. Yo...
