MelloMel gets his arss kicked...right in the convenience of home (*shrugs*). But he manages to shake himself off from not only the physical exhaust of battle with an old enemy...but the dreaded shame that comes with getting a real arss beaten. Luckily, Mandrid The Great heard his "man~screams" and has some extra~mello~powers delivered, with which Melloman practices and becomes comfortable with...thus engaging him into official superhero~hood.
I have seen too many times a good buddy get shot down by his girlfriend (and visa~verso) in just an ever~so~wrong way; they knew the guy was working on his-self when they were getting "hitched," but ran out of patience somewhere (trying to keep up with the Jone's). The end result is always negative speak with respect to the guy's potential. Life is too short to be so closed~minded; does it make you feel bigger and better when you back someone into a corner, giving them no realistic way out...and then you shoot~em up as they are already falling down? What's that about! Sheesh!
There is a vast difference between one who slow drags in life...and is stubborn, won't listen...and doesn't want any help...vs the one who has initiative and is trying...albeit stressed~out. You can see the obvious difference as one side tries to help themselves.
There needs to be balance on both ends...between the sides of getting where you want to be (in a given time) and not taking too long to get there.
I don't profess to be "all that" but what I am...and what I have....I had to work hard for.I also know that I was blessed with a wifey that got with me when I was not where I am today. i am grateful...and yet humbled by that.
It's just a process that takes time...not an overnight wishful thought.
With any balance, comes the other extreme: to the individual that is to proud to ask for help...or to even receive it, you have to realize that you are not an island. If you keep running into disappointments...over and over...for years, then something isn't working. While you shouldn't kick yourself...don't block out the people who love, and want to help you either. You think you are the better individual for being independent from taking a "hand~out," but you are cutting yourself off from blessings that could make you even more of an original, unique, and whole individual. Don't let your subjective views and opinions be the reason for not receiving the help that is right in front of you. So what if you are not use to changes...who is? If someone is offering to help you freely...you will be a fool to not receive it freely.
Of course...you must base some one's giving on their spirit. [BTW, it's hard for me to remember that not everyone can flow with what I am about to get into...I have always had this God-given ability to see through people...if you are phony can read it. If you have an ulterior motive...I can pick up on it.] I was just going to point out that...hey, you know with whom you can give your complete trust. It's with those few individuals that receiving should be without shame, or blemish. You are blessed beyond measure if that trusted person so happens to be your spouse...and visa~verso with respect to the opposite.
There are some people you need not receive help from, nor should you tell them about your business; they are jealous, evil doers that will crush your dreams the minute they hear about them. They will even make you feel that your dreams & visions are foolish...which may have you throw away the dreams you were given. You know what? Don't even hang around these people...who needs negativity....you don't!
It comes back to the dreams folks...either the ones you are living out, or the ones that you are still dreaming of. Hold on to those dreams...never let them go. You will see that life has a way of letting you realize the reality of your dreams. Your dreams have an innate way of getting delivered right back to you...even if it is towards the final chapter of your life...your dreams will get handed back to you.
Bottom line...folks should never give up on your hopes , dreams and visions...realize that you may need help from others to get there...and pick folks that you can trust with your secrets while you get to work on your dreams. When it's your turn to shine...we will all know it...and you will be your own hero!
