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...

JJ's YEAR OF DESTINY- DAY 2- Moment By Moment

"Live one moment at a time... sometimes a day is still just too long"   -jj thames. Today is the day that I took a step back, and said... "Whoa...Lord...do you know how long a year is?? That's...365 days!! 8,760 hours!! That's...that's...525,600 minutes!! 31,536,000 seconds!! and a bazillion, gagillion, moments!! Oh Lawd! What have I done??" I began to feel myself get light headed as I fanned myself, and instantly spiraled into loneliness, and despair...and kicked myself for making the lofty commitment. (Really felt like punching myself in the face) "Fix it Jesus!" is what I whispered maybe 8 or 9 times under my breath- but nothing changed. I had wrote it down, told my accountability partners...and made the promise to God. I'm stuck, and felt like throwing an all out 2-year-old-I'ma-embarrass-my-mama-in-the-store-fall-down-on-the-floor-knockin-stuff-offa-shelves-everybody-looking-at-her-like-you-need-to-whoop-your-ch...

Jj's Year of Coming of Age: Day 178- Spillin' Tea- Cussin Mad...And Tryin' To Forgive...

"I used to think that the worst thing in life  to end up alone.   It's not... The worst thing in life  is to end up with people  who make you feel alone. " -Robin Williams Pictured above...2013...My son Israel and I in our new home after 31/2 years of on again, off again homelessness. We were pretty stoked. Right now is truly one of the best times of my life...go figure. FINALLY...after all of the hurting, pain. suffering...sacrificing, fighting, surviving... darkness, confusion, fear...shame, depression, and loneliness...My dreams...my vision of what my life was always supposed to be, even as a little girl- is materializing and indubitably coming to pass. And while I should be over the moon- flipping cartwheels, not caring if the world sees my panty drawers, and skipping around singing the smurf song...happy as a pig in fresh poo...I'm not... Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful...beyond grateful...honored...humbled, and not taki...
