Let's Just Get That Clear

Let's Just Get That Clear.

I have popped some popcorn for all of you because today's MPV might be quite entertaining.Pulpits are not only found in church,but the world is a pulpit.Wherever there is a platform or forum to speak and there is an audience,that is a pulpit.

And my God,there are some people who are preaching some 'interesting' gospels on their pulpits.How can one host a show about love,yet they are so cynical about it?A friend of mine commented that the Grinch who stole Christmas is much better,this individual is really mad,(bitter to be precise.)And all I could visualise was Stinkmeaner talking on the radio,(poor listeners.)

Yes,everybody has loved and lost,been hurt,but the whole purpose of life is love.The foundation of the earth is based on love,because the Creator of the Universe is love.Since we are entering the Easter Holiday,I pray for this individual to find the message of hope and love,(they need Jesus and to be soaked in His blood,to remove all that scepticism.)Because the reason why Easter is a public holiday,and some of y'all go off work,is because of a sacrificial,what's the word?Oh yes,LOVE,that God had for humankind,and allowing His only,'sinless',Son to die for mere,'wicked',mortals.That is the greatest love story ever told,(for over 2000 years).

I do agree that love should not be idealised by fairytales and movies,but there should be a realistic approach,however people should never give up on finding love,loving and being loved.It is also a part of the equation of happiness.

Everybody deserves a second chance,and more chances.It is called FORGIVENESS.If an individual ,or two people still want to give their relationship another try,they should.Life is too short not to try.Do not preach a '3 strikes you are out' gospel to people(I know a very good therapist,or counselor,or Rabbi,or better yet,exorcist who can help deal with all that negativity.)

Okay so,happiness.The pursuit of happiness.A good gospel,if you buy into it,and for as long as that happiness does not involve selfishness.But what is happiness?It is a feeling of satisfaction or elation due to positivity in one's life.And what makes people happy?I made an equation for happiness.Happiness=Money+Power/Fame+Success+Sex+Love/Relationship+Entertainment/Leisure+Good health+Being Attractive+Friends+Offspring+Possesions.So basically happiness depends on external influences.You still want to pursue happiness?Imagine a starving child in Sub-Saharan Africa,a woman being raped in war-torn central Africa,people who watched the events of 911 unfold,and lost loved ones in the process,or mothers having deformed babies born in nucleated Hiroshima.Are you going to tell them,be happy!Pursue happiness!*raised eyebrow*

It is good to be happy,everyone should be happy everyday,but what if all the elements that make up happiness are non-existant,or are taken away,does that mean one has stopped living?Being a person of faith,I believe that people should have,(no need to pursue),joy.The King James version of the Bible has no mention of 'happiness',but the word 'joy',which appears more than 300 times,including the word 'rejoice'.

Joy has the same meaning as happiness however,it is not influenced by external factors.Joy is the 'it's okay' motto of life,no matter what life throws at us.'It's okay' that I'm broke;my child died;I've got cancer;there is war in my homeland;I'm single;I'm not goodlooking;I'm disabled,it's okay.Joy says,it is difficult,but I have hope.It might not be today,or tomorrow,but it is well.It gives certain levels of contentment.

On a balance scale,joy outweighs happiness.But a philosopher will always be a philosopher.The pursuit of happiness-philosophy.But this whole discussion goes back to one's fear of being 'vulnerable'.Only the brave truly live,because cowards are afraid of trying,that is why they are philosophical.

There is a law of attraction,you attract the energies you give out.So if you are a Scrooge,well.*shaking my head*

The people who really have joy are the people who live outside themselves.Historically,Joan of Arc,Mahatma Gandhi,Martin Luther King Jnr.,Nelson Mandela,Mother Theresa and of course,Jesus Christ.They all lived for causes that affected 'their' people,for the 'love' of the people,(other people).Life is not a me-factor.

Anyway,at the end of the day,I guess an individual is entitled to their own opinion.What one discusses on their pulpit,reveals their argu-mentality,(one's thoughts).I use my pulpit,my MPV to preach,teach and share the gospel of self-examination which leads to reformation,I encourage empowerment and always inspire hope.

Now you can put the popcorn away.I am not attacking anyone,this is just my point of view.*smile*

Eldom:Use your pulpit as an opportunity to fight for a cause and use it wisely.

'Live to inspire and let God take you higher'.

P.S: Always write your own love story.

Ciao!

Script My Life: Jane, Jane, Carrie!

Some stories are best watched as they play out... Ever watched a movie or TV series and relate to a character? How many parts of the plot line would you have loved to be part of your life? Filmmakers have managed to tap into our subconscious to draw emotions towards their films. There are certain characters that have become memorable with fans. We often quote them, use film analogies to explain real life and even play out the plot ourselves. Relating film to real life has become a common feature on this blog. We called it Script My Life, of which many of you are a fan of. To date the most viewed posts are the 'SML' for 'Madea's Family Reunion' and 'Why Did I Get Married?'. All I can say is thank you. We continue to bridge screenplays to our real lives today. Television series often bring various storylines in different genres. When I was young, I had an obsession with medical/hospital drama. Teen dramas became my thing during my early 20s. Remember...

5 Inexpensive Dates in a Bad Economy

If he's making the economy an excuse, swipe left.... A guy who makes too many excuses whilst pursuing you is not worth your time. He will make excuses for not making time for you. More so, for not taking you on a date. A real man makes a plan...all the time! Yes, the economy is atrocious...a complete nightmare! Does that mean that humanity stops? Y'all,  we have procreation to continue until the end of time. A season of a recession, shouldn't hinder dates, relationships and the whole nine yards that come with that package. Couples over centuries overcame obstacles such as family feuds, classism, racism, tribalism, religious differences etc. They all found a way around those challenges. Any guy who uses 'in this economy' as an excuse is dropped like a pin. Honestly, such an individual lacks ambition and creativity. I want the flowers, chocolate, and the date. Otherwise...skrrr! You will have to show innovation in your pursuit. If you can't be strategic w...

The Slow Burn

Stop trying to control everything and start experiencing the slow burn. Hello, single ladies! Comment ça va mes amies? "Je suis bien!   Gather around; today we are having coffee and tea. I'll get my dose of caffeine as usual. I'm so inspired by the previous article. The inspiration came from the last few paragraphs, where I wrote about the slow burn. I remember the movie, "I Want You Back." The character Emma tells Peter that he's attractive, and she would date him, despite the fact that he is a slow burner. And then Kacey Musgraves' "Slow Burn" starts playing in my head. ("I'm alright with a slow burn"). As I decided to rewrite the scripts for my "love story," the last part challenged me. Do you remember what Kat Valdez said in "Marry Me"? If you want something different, you have to do something different. So, you make a different decision. I thought long and hard about that statement. I believe that I'm ...

Are You Miss Bare Minimum?

You are worth the ICE! Intention. Commitment. Effort. Y'all, this is my proof of life. It's been a minute. It's been a tumultuous season, and I guess that I'm not the only one. I am glad though, that I am here to pour out and into you. You've always understood me. And then P!nk's 'Mizunderstood' becomes a backtrack to this conversation. But that's a conversation for another day. A nous allez! Bonjour, bonjour mes amies! Comment allez-vous? I'm taking it one day at a time. Picture this: you’re on a date, and instead of engaging in conversation, your date is glued to his phone, replying to texts that are definitely not from you. Or maybe he’s the ‘textationship’ king, flooding your screen with emojis but never making time for an actual face-to-face meeting. Now this is a good one, he's the convenience pro who gets to see you and spend time with you within his vicinity, and not outside his capacity. Now what do we call that *taps head thinking*...

Winter ABC Day 6: Thank You Carrie Bradshaw

Who knew that a TV show would be the reason that I intentionally speak my mind? You can learn nothing from television they say. TV makes you dumb! Oh well, maybe so, however one television show was the match for this wildfire. My older sister pulled her hair out when she found out that my young sister and I were watching Sex and the City. Amongst her collection of video cassettes, she had a box set of the guilty pleasure, Sex and the City. The age guide was no under 21; I was 17 and my younger sibling was way too young. You are telling yourself that these adolescents were mischievous, maybe. I believe we were curious and adventurous. I was obsessed with pop culture with the hopes of one day being Lala Vasquez on TRL or hosting E! News. From my collection of People magazine I had read so much about the cast of Sex and the City. There were mentions of the cast members of the hit show in particular Sarah Jessica Parker. SJP as she's affectionately known, played the lead role of ...
