RONNIE'S POINT
OF VIEW
Why we
do, what we do. . .
Have you ever done something
in your life and after you did it, you didn’t know why?
Maybe you felt stupid. Maybe you felt selfish. Maybe you
couldn’t even answer why you did what you did.
In my lifetime I have had so
many times where I’ve either heard from somebody, “Now, why
did I do that?” Or that saying has come directly out of my
mouth. For us to achieve maximum success, we must
understand why we do what we do. Unfortunately, this can be
quite a task. Why? Because you have to look at you.
In this day and age few really want to fine tune themselves
to achieve beyond the norm. For those of you who are
interested, this is your article.
Let’s start with our first task. If you could be granted
one wish that would absolutely come true, what would your
wish be? Now you might think this is a very odd question,
but I’m telling you this is our first task. Now that you
know what your wish would be, it’s time for your second
question. Does your wish have to do with a monetary gain?
Does it have to do with a relationship? Does it have to do
with just having peace or health?
Many in our society are out
for monetary gain. Monetary gain can become quite a dark
road for greed, jealousy, power, fame, and downright
ugliness. Our world is driven by monetary gain. We’re not
fine with one house, we must have two. Two drivers in the
household with four cars in the driveway. We must build up
our 401K so we can have more monetary gain when we get
older. But where does all of this gain lead us? To the
number one position. To numero uno! To the
big Kahuna! The master CEO! Am I making my point yet? And
what will we do to gain this number one position? Let me
put this another way. What will we lower our standards to,
to receive this numero uno position? If you
were one that answered that you would like to have peace for
your wish, or a relationship to last forever, then you my
friends, are deep. But, for a high percentage of the
masses, gain is the master game. And what people will do
for gain becomes very scary.
If you feel bad because you
answered the question with some kind of gain, you’re still
on the right road. You still can be corrected to a path
that will lead you out of destruction. Here’s the wild
card; the real power and energy is released when you let
someone else take the number one position. Humility is a
power most do not practice. How is one to walk on a path of
power without being in the number one position? This is the
big question. I’ll get to this soon.
We must backtrack a tad so we
don’t get lost. Let’s start again. Why do we do what we
do? Remember the question? Here’s a simple answer. The
Eagles sang the answer quite eloquently. “We are programmed
to receive. You can check out any time you like, but you
can never leave.” We are being smothered with signals that
make us do things we would not normally do. We might cut
somebody off on the interstate. We might cut in line when
we know someone else was waiting first. It’s the “me…then
you syndrome”. Why do we do this? Why do we do what we
do? Why do we want to go first? Why will we not let people
have the right of way? Why is it, “us. . . then them”? Oh,
I know, because that’s what they’re doing. If we don’t
hurry up and grab that parking place, they will.
We are slowly turning into
animals. Why? I don’t know why? I don’t know why we do
what we do? Subliminal? Over-exaggerated? Not true? We
need to know why we do what we do. We need to be held
accountable, and not by someone else, but by ourselves.
Let’s grab the second task.
Ask yourself this question, “When you went to ask yourself
the first question, was it a spiritual answer or a worldly
answer?” In other words— your big wish—was it a spiritual
wish or a worldly wish? Would the answer come from the
heavenlies or a bundle of cash from a business, a lottery
ticket, and so on?
Many of the religious
followers flock into the churches on Sunday so they can feel
spiritual and yet, they have no idea they are so controlled
by the world. “Say these words, memorize this, sit down,
stand up, begin to sing, let’s pray.” I would feel less
tired going to a dog show! The amount of control that sits
inside the religious establishment is appalling. And what’s
worse, is that the people believe they have free will.
Why do we do what we do? Was
your first wish spiritual? Was it for your gain or someone
else? Was it for you to help others or to help yourself?
This is not me ranting on you, this is me turning on a light
and you stepping under. If I gave you two or three wishes,
you might have selected a spiritual wish. But with only
one, we cut to the chase. And with this statement, I ask
you this: “What is it you want out of life?” What are you
willing to sacrifice or risk? How much change will you
allow? And will you accomplish this? Why do we do what we
do? Why do we have that boring job? Why do we stay in that
terrible relationship? Why do we file into a religious
establishment that teaches us nothing about spirituality,
but teaches us everything about law and order? And of
course, it is their law and their order. Is that a New
World Order?
Let’s go back to that
question, how is one to walk with power and not be in the
number one position? People who wrestle for the number one
position are power hungry. They will beg, borrow, steal,
and kill just to get into that number one position. Here’s
the fun part. They don’t belong there. You may even know
this. But, if you wrestle with them for that number one
position, you’re drawn into the fight. As soon as you begin
this quarrel, you lose. As soon as you go into the ring,
you’re finished. The power of humility is released when you
let them take the number one position. Don’t appoint, just
step aside. They will take the number one position, and in
time, they will miserably fail. If you have acted in
humility, and you truly are the one for the position, a
great, unexplainable force will come over someone, and you
will be appointed for the number one position. You will not
have to fight, argue, beg, borrow, or steal to receive what
is rightfully yours. If you are not appointed to this
position, you were never ready in the first place.
There is
a higher power that knows all, sees all, and displays all.
We must be in alignment. We must know why we do what we
do. We must know, (Are you ready?), the motives of our
heart. The motives of our heart guide us into why we do
what we do. If your heart is good, filled with love,
compassion, and putting others before you, your heart will
guide you into a power unseen by mankind. If your heart is
filled with “you...then me”, or the “me-monster” world, your
heart is scarred. It is dark. And you will make mistakes
and err. Your error will cause you humiliation, anguish,
and sorrow. These conditions come from knowing who we are
and plugging into an energy that far surpasses our
knowledge. What you think will come back to you. If you
are thinking failure, you will become a failure. If
you are thinking anger, then you will become…anger. You
will be surrounded by anger. If you are scheming for first
place, that too will be laid in your lap. But when you give
it away, it’s hard for someone to steal.
Analogy: If you have five
dollars in your wallet or purse, and that is your lunch
money, and by noon you’ve given it to somebody less
fortunate than you, then I ask you this question…How can a
thief take your five dollars? You gave it away. There’s
nothing for him to steal. It is the motive of heart and how
our mind processes that motive, that makes us who we are.
Your mind is a powerful tool, not a hat rack. Why do you do
what you do? It’s connected to your heart. If your heart
is good, what you do will be good. If your heart is bad,
you’ll lay on the side of erring. If you lay on the side of
erring, you will be intoxicated with humiliation and never
be successful.
Success is created by a
mindset of heart and the power of creativity. The Creator
is a giver, not a taker. He empowers those that create and
humble themselves before men. The church talks…and the
spiritual ones of the Creator walk.
I want to encourage you to
look inside yourself, and look inside your heart, and begin
to identify why you do what you do. Ask yourself
questions. Are you happy? Do you love your spouse? Are
you happy with your kids? Do you have a spiritual
connection? Have you given lately? Does your face show
happiness or anger? And the last question—that’s quite
funny—is…are you healthy? If you are unhealthy, overweight,
sick, or such, you are not happy. Most of our health is
connected to heart issues. And when I say heart issues, I’m
not talking about health issues, I’m talking about
heart/emotional issues.
Go dig, you’ll learn
something. Ask someone that knows you to help you. Many
people cannot identify with themselves, thus they are a
walking catastrophe. As my father would say, “They are an
accident waiting to happen.” If you want to be successful,
know the motives of your heart, begin to change, and get
connected to a higher source. The Creator’s day-runner has
openings. Boy, that’s an eighties term! I could be giving
my age away here. I’m not sure if the Creator carries a
palm-pilot, but my point is, make an appointment. Here’s a
word of hope. The Creator’s free, and the doctors will rape
you. It’s your choice.
