Owner vs Consumer

How much longer will you be stuck in this perpetual black-hole of always owing? There's not benefit in always being indebted to this world. How much money does a would chuck chuck, until a wood chuck chuck runs out of luck? Why risk the inheritance of your children's children on this world’s false promises? Can you continue to be the crack-head for a piece of paper that only has value based off its color? The sliver of tree that has been given more power than the very essence of life itself by humanity. It is a false idol that is as empty as the depths of the ocean at night. A lifeless stillness that watches as we trampled over each other like crabs in a barrel.

It is written that one was betrayed for this lifeless disgrace, and he is the only true way to true life and life more abundantly. We weren't created to always be owing someone something. How can we be in debt if the one who paid the price for everything already executed his part by being executed for our sins? I just wish we took the time to understand that money is not the mecca of all existence. Money is not the resolution to all of your life's issues. IT IS ONLY A RESEOURCE FOR YOU TO BE An OWNER! An owner of what is what you may ask next. An owner of your time for starters, the most "valuable" entity we hold important as people. Actually, the most valuable thing to own is love and wisdom, but we will start with time. Own time because it is the only thing that is irreversible and the only thing you can't get back. Even as you read this, there are minutes that you will never get back in your life. Hence why every word I type must be filled with love and life to empower you and spark your spirit to reach and think higher. I don't want your judgment to get cloudy when life gets cloudy.

Now love is the most valuable to own, the equity in love NEVER ends! This is the most liquid asset that you can rest your attainments in. I do caution that your love has to be mediated and cultivated by the higher power in order for it to not be a worldly love, it must be divine for you to steward it correctly. As soon as you understand the essence of real unconditional love, that is the very moment that you begin to build a lifelong accrual in life. You operate differently, see differently, and live amongst other in a higher level of peace that you've never known. Also, blessings become a lifestyle, and once you own love your heart is always open to give more than you get.

Now we come to the jewel of ownership, wisdom. Owning wisdom is the equivalent of constantly investing in a new project that you've always wanted to do, and never having to pay a dime. This is an asset that holds the same emotional high of traveling to a beautiful exotic beach and feeling the smooth rush of the ocean splash by your legs in the sand. It is also an attainment that gives you awareness, and helps to keep you out of harm’s way. Owning wisdom is to know the truth behind owning a gift that requires nothing but your obedience and patience. love, wisdom, and time are true ownership in this crazy world we live in. These are the pillars that help you navigate the supply and demand of this world. This is how you make your logistical output in life leaner and more efficient to eliminate defects per every million tries at a goal or dream. Ownership is not easy and requires more than most of us understand. However, there is a joy in the journey of self-exploration and of knowing that you're now providing something to this world rather than only taking from it. That you give the world a service or product rather than just buying and taking it.

As an owner you owe to the very people you service all that you can do for them. Ownership is about the village and existing together not as a lone wolf. The lead wolf can only lead and be shown approved to lead, only if he has a pack to Shepard over. So, the next time you drive by a bando in the inner city, or a foreclosed building think about a way you can provide something with that asset. The next time you have an idea, write it down so that when it is time it can come to life. I started writing at 9, and after that I put my pen down just to get passing grades. Not even realizing that I was far past the mark that an alphabetical letter would ever validate. A divine gift that I’ve been given permission to own. So now I can provide to my community with love, wisdom, and time that supplies your soul and eases the battlefield in your mind....and requires no payment. True Ownership.
