I wish I did though. I am a dreamer, but I think, that is a problem. I don't know how to take the dream to a level of reality to wish I can gain from it. nice post though. Food for thought.

Without having even met you in real life I know you possess atleast 5 or 6 of those characteristics right off the bat. They are confident - They believe in themselves and their abilities, nothing is ever impossible to them. They have tremendous self-esteem and usually don't need others to validate them or show them their greatness. They don't wait for opportunities to present themselves, they create them - You snooze, you lose is their mantra. They believe that some opportunities are hard to come by and don't always present themselves; they create opportunities where and when they see fit. They are resilient - They don't give up in the face of adversity. They may stumble and even fall but they don't stay down for long. They know how to bounce back and don't waste time and energy wallowing in self-pity. They are consistent - They work their plan diligently even when it seems wiser to quit because results aren't evident. They don't get bored by repetition or rote routines. They know that as long as they keep on sowing, they will eventually reap. They never stop dreaming - No matter how much they accomplish, they never allow themselves to get too comfortable and content. They forever seek out ways to get to the next level and dream up new dreams. They value self-development and improvement - They always evaluate themselves and seek out ways to better themselves and become the kind of person they need to be to sustain their goals and dreams. They have laser-like focus - They don't allow themselves to get distracted by things that would likely jeopardize the fulfillment of their goals and dreams. They always keep their eyes on the prize. All of those above alone....describe your presence on AALBC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for this observation of me! @Delano And you know, finding a great concentration of people that would appreciate my research is the challenge! Ironically, a lot of my research, I feel would help ADOS and many who have not thought of reassessing the church, but again, that's a challenge.

Wow! Thank you @Pioneer1! I really needed this. I might have been a little down and so, I looked over the points you posted and yes, before I got a little under the weather, I might have thought those things about myself too. Now though, I will re-align myself. My relatives are sometimes, I feel too hard on me and want me to be perfect for them, but they don't return the favor. My health is shot and it seems that everytime I try to work on myself, it's my family that seems to attack me and shoot me down. I think they would be upset if I were to lose some of these pounds I have added to my frame and get in shape. But yes, I am now in my 60s and really, I do feel that I could get back up and turn a new chapter in my life, I just need to focus and as @Delano suggested seek other avenues as well that might recognize my efforts. I happen to stumble across my old high school picture in a forum called classmate, and I just can't believe that I was so thin way back then. My hair is awful and LOL, I can see I was stuck on the Farrah Fawcet feathers. But this pic made me realize, I might need to hit the treadmill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delano Posted October 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 @Chevdove if you have a revolutionary idea it takes people a long time to understand. I have been working on Astrology for 24 years and time for the last five. Most Astrologers have no idea what I'm doing. I have one Astrological friend who gets it. As do my clients. It's hard to comprehend because it isn't like anything other people are doing. So they have no framework for my practice. I just keep going. Keep the focus on you and your work. Family and friends can be antagonistic if you don't play the role they have put on you. So communicate with people that affirm you and leave the critics where they are. Just ask yourself are the critics well adjusted and satisfied with their lives. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolutionaries, visionaries and creative types will encounter a lot of opposition because most people are wired to go along with the status quo. The average person cannot see a vision that has not been validated or codified. Also, most critical people tend to be successful failures in their own right. In some weird way, being unaccomplished (critics) gives bitter people license to be the biggest haters. Avoid them like a plague. As a revolutionary, visionary or creative person, keep pressing toward the mark of a higher calling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a musician (creative), I can compose and play music for many hours to my contentment without an audience. Yet, when it's time to gig, there's a sense of satisfaction that comes with being able share and having people hear, dig, nod their heads and dance to the music too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
