JJ's Year of Destiny Day 278- THINK and Grow Stankin, Filthy Rich!

You wanna talk about money? Let's talk about money...
You wanna talk about the uplifting of a people...
Let's talk about that...
Religion, God, Self-building, CERN, NWO agendas, Groupthink, Love (or lack there of), Familial Roles, Goals, Dreams, Aspirations, Fears, Hopes, Gentrification,
Personality Types and Assessments, Orwell, Huxley, Business Development??? YES! YES! YES! Let's talk about ALL that...Housewives of wherever? The new Young Thug video? *sucks teeth* Miss me with that...I wanna flex my mind...walk away from a conversation titillated with intrigue, racing home,energized and pulsating to perform my own research...my brain cramping from the stretching, turning and lifting...come on, talk to me baby,
please, take your time, make love to my mind.
-jj thames. 

It takes maturity to stop using other people's feedback as a sign that you are on the right track;And instead, develop the ability to spot inconsistencies, and be willing to call out that the Emperor isn't wearing any clothes.

I am reaching a point on my journey where...I am focused more on my inner truth, clarity and internal logic than any other time in my life. Many have asked where I have been, why have I been so "missing in action"...why the lack of phone calls, and diminished fun social calls.

Well, I am intentionally spending focused introverted time ruminating about what strikes me as "truth"; While continuing to focus on my personal growth, and next moves in my career, relationships, and the like. Distractions must be kept to an absolute minimum. (I'm focused man).
As I draw conclusions around my thinking, I'm practicing poking holes in my own logic...exercising my mind. It's time to do what's most logical for ME...not just what will make others happy or illicit a response. I'm paying close attention to my own B.S. Meter...doing what it takes to seek out and access my inner truth, and ruthlessly root out internal inconsistencies without taking into account the opinions or encouraged proclivities of others. My own cognitive dissonance is now COMPLETELY unacceptable.
I've got places to go, and somebody to become...and I realize that it's not gonna happen by coincidence or happenstance...there will be no internal "big bang". God is not going to just open up my brain and pour in all the knowledge, wisdom, and good judgement that I must have. He gave me my brain, logic personalty, and gifts for a reason. I must choose to actively think and therefore grow into the human that I am to be.
www.inc.com published an article that stated that "Successful people spend [at least] 10 hours a week just THINKING." (http://www.inc.com/empact/why-successful-people-spend-10-hours-a-week-just-thinking.html)
"Warren Buffett, the CEO of the fourth-largest company in the country, isn't as busy as you are. By his own estimate, he has spent 80 percent of his career reading and thinking."
Constant busyness, an idle mind, a heavy workload, and restlessness does NOT equate success- actually quite the opposite. The article went on to state, "...over the past few years, several high-profile CEOs have come out against the norm of constant busyness. They argue that critical thinking time is essential in a complex, rapidly changing digital economy."
I can offer the best version of myself to the world when I call B.S. on myself, and my own thoughts first (To thine own self be true), BEFORE I dare to call B.S. on others' thoughts and viewpoints.
In short, all that yickity yack jaw-bone jackin that folks do, spewing what they think they know...Taking up precious hours of the day talking about celebrities, make up contouring, boyfriend/girlfriend issues, job dissatisfaction, and day to day rigmarole.. I aint got no time fo dat. Im calling spades, spades...and jokers, jokers...as my grandfather used to call it: shooting straight from the hip...starting with me...I'm figuring this thing out we call life...one day and one thought at a time. 'Scuse me while I put my thinking cap on...Upward and forward...let's get it.

JJ's YEAR OF DESTINY DAY 5- Divorce is of the Devil...

"You don't know how "one" you've really become- until you're ripped apart.  Divorce is of the devil... I wish it on no one...ever."  -jj thames. Not in the mood to face the world today. so I won't. my bed is my solace... listening to my new record, tightening up arrangements, listening for more possibilities- soothes my angst. this divorce stuff irks my soul... one or two days- I barely think about it. next day...I feel like I've been hit by a bullet train at maximum speed- and just want to lay in my darkened bedroom and look at the ceiling. No tmusic, no TV...just me...my bed...and the ceiling. Sleep usually eventually welcomes me. But, then there's the dreams- and waking again to the pain. I feel like a part of me has died. It's a strange kind of pain... its a numbing abiding pain...like an irritating itch deep in your soul that you really have no kind of way to scratch. You just have to talk about it, and su...

Joy is My Strength

I have come to understand that joy is not the same thing as happiness. Happiness is invested in one's circumstances. It is a feeling...it comes and goes. Joy is a state of being- it is a fruit of the Spirit (a result of the Spirit of God living within) it is a deep abiding peace, an assurance that God is sovereign. I don't have to like what's happening...I don't have to dig my circumstances...I merely have to trust that God knows what He is doing, that He loves me...and is wo rking it all together for my good. There is a peace that truly surpasses understanding that overtakes me in my darkest hours knowing that I'm His, and that He has me, like the whole world, in the palm of His hand. The joy of the Lord truly is my strength, and I understand the psalmist when He said..."Do not force me away from your presence, and do not take Your Spirit away from me." Psalm 51:11 The Presence of God truly is the air I breathe...suffocating is not an option. ‪#‎ thejoyof...

Jj's Year of Coming Of Age: Day 152- Spillin' the Tea -Part 3- Chronicles of the Sidechick Wife...Not a Typo.

livid, adj . [Screw] you for cheating on me. [Screw] you for reducing it to the word cheating. As if this were a card game, and you sneaked a look at my hand. Who came up with the term cheating , anyway? A cheater, I imagine. Someone who thought liar was too harsh. Someone who thought devastator was too emotional. The same person who thought, oops, he's gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar . [Screw] you. This isn't about slipping yourself an extra twenty dollars of Monopoly money. These are our lives. You went and broke our lives. You are so much worse than a cheater. You killed something. And you killed it when its back was turned" -David Levithan, The Lover's Dictionary I'm gonna get back to my Asperger's list tomorrow...but, I had something really interesting happen today...and I want to talk to ya'll about it... I've got a question for you... "Would you stay with your man if he cheated on you, and a baby was conce...
