However, today it's with a heavy heart that I look at the sad, sad direction this nation is going.
No sense of values, morality, and in essence not standing tall; no matter how difficult the situation may be.
Now this isn't a right or left wing issue, but more an issue of being accountable and authentic of what we will and won't tolerate. Do we just say, "What can we do?" Or do we complain that my opinion won't matter.
Trust me, I've been there done that.
Just like with these battles I am trying to overcome (cigarettes, over-eating and overspending), it's a matter of firmly, "standing tall" and saying, "No this just doesn't add up for me in life," and then making the immediate decision to turn away from it no matter how hard it may be to you.
Current issues that bother me that I see day in and day out:
Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates becoming reality based stars for the sake of reaching the masses for votes. They would tell you that it's to bring together both sides on issues.
(formulate opinion here).
Or having commercials Victoria's Secret and hour long shows dedicated to hey everyone it's my underwear.
I mean is it just me or is this absolutely something that is ridiculous. While everyone can appreciate the beauty of a woman, it's something that I find completely inappropriate and would suggest that by standing tall and not allowing that kind of garbage to be watched in your home is something that if done by enough of us, maybe we can go back to the days of Classic Jingles rather than over sexualizations.
Whatever the issue is at the age of 31; the old adage of, "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything," really has been amplified as I get older.
It's hard trust me!
Whatever the situation that your going through make the commitment and hopefully soon to make a firm YES or NO and be confident in yourself and with the guidance of God that you made the right decision.
That's it for today.
Signing off,
Good Pic! :)
