Calm Eye: Hard Wisdom: (Unedited): 17 Aug 2014:

It takes a stormy person to become a calm eye at the center of their being.  

C.J.MacKechnie

================================ 
I have grown up with great storms in my life and some how I just survived them all. There is no logical reason why I survived. I was never the smartest or strongest. I was actually drugged into mental oblivion for the vast majority of my childhood. Beating, abused and nearly killed many times. Yes, there is a great storm about me. Deep within my core is a great and peaceful calm. Is it always that way? Naw, I'm not Jesus. 
Real life hard experiences in which you actually become a good person or are able to hold onto those good qualities of goodness within you. Is a form of purification. Although purification does not feel good. The end result is a more solid and righteous you in the eyes of God. Does this mean you are perfect or should be revered in life? Naw. It just means your a better you and if your purification is ongoing, then you will become a better you tomorrow and the day after. 
---------------------------------------------
For those seekers of wisdom or for those to be blessed with wisdom. The storms experienced in life is often times un welcomed. Which is probably as it should be. Those persons who have been blessed with that thirst for wisdom. They always ask a million questions and seek 2 million answers. Which is followed by 3 million more questions and 4 million more answers and etc. 
Sometimes it is very easy to get caught up within the whirlwind of chaos. Helplessly thrown about in violent random confusion. Once you begin to reacquire your focus, your calm. Your peaceful center will be there like it always had been. Untouched and undamaged by any storm. Just stop and pray. Just stop and meditate. Just stop and contemplate. Just stop. 
Amazing things will happen when you just stop. Peace and harmony begin to slowly show first then love is remembered. If you focused on the love first, everything which is good and right just pops into place immediately. 
===============================
People can be selfish and thankless. Even they in their stormy times of their own life. It matters not if the storms are of their own creation or not. They go to the person who seems to have much wisdom. Someone who seems to have been to hell and back. Someone who does not mind the trip into hell either. The person who has been blessed with much wisdom is often searched by all who know of this person. The selfish and thankless will get what they can get plus maybe a free meal. Then depart without even closing the door properly.
The wisdom which is given freely to them should be given with a heart of love and understanding of their state of being. Because, it can be hoped that the wisdom your freely give out of the outpouring of your love for them. Will eventually crack their hardened heart. Even if your not the one who will offer them support with the hardness falls away. It still should be celebrated when it does. Even if no one remembers the first wise person who made that first singular crack into that hardened heart.
So give of yourself freely. by doing so no one can use you.
============================
Hard Wisdom: (Unedited):  17 Aug 2014:

Out of your love. 

Your wisdom freely given should be harder and finely pointed, so as to crack the hard heart and to remain within. 

C.J.MacKechnie

==================================
Wisdom which is like a splinter. Lasts long enough until it is pushed out or is absorbed.  In this instance absorbed is good wisdom remembered and pushed out wisdom is rejected wisdom. Though not necessarily bad wisdom. Good wisdom can be rejected as easily as bad wisdom. Bad wisdom is like a dirty splinter which causes infections within. Thus, continues the suffering in new ways which has not been experienced before.  Even good wisdom can have a similar effect upon an bad person. The good splinter of wisdom can likewise infect the bad person with goodness. Which can eventually take over the bad person.
You should not feel bad or rejected because someone came to you for advice and then refused what you had to offer them. Feel good that they actually came to you and have hope that all of the wisdom they ask of you becomes thorns on their hardened heart. That is the goal isn't it? To have the hardened heart free of it's shell, one crack or splinter at a time.

Unknown Journey: (Unedited): 10 Oct 2013:

Those who seek achievement and accomplishment will be the first ones who journey into the unknown darkness.  

C.J.MacKechnie

=================
Those who say it is to early or to late. Shall not find that which they seek.
Those who claim it is to hard and that there is no one to help. Shall not maintain that which they may have begun.
Those who prefer the fun, the parties shall become like those who cheer from the stands.
Those who do and continue doing. Shall find something, even when they themselves are uncertain what it exactly it is they seek. Sometimes the journey begins your questions in which the continuation of that journey obtains answers to other questions that you didn't even have questions for. Confusing? it is to me. There still seems to be truth in it.

Pleasant Space: (Unedited): 09 July 2013:

A pleasant work space is made up of pleasant people who desire to be more than just present. 

C.J.MacKechnie

=================================================
The people who make up a pleasant work place are those who seem to want to be there and actually show up early to make unnecessary preparations, which creates a welcoming environment. Who want to always to the best job they can and enjoy doing so. Who are polite in the course of their day and want to be. Who always answers the call for assistance when there is a problem and is satisfied when the thing is all good to go.
This is a pleasant work place. 
=================================================
The ugly work place and space is where management always has to watch those dark hiding places where people like to get away. The management has to offer training on how to be nice under the guise of customer service. The break room becomes a disaster area. The employee conversation seems to joke about customer stupidity and meanness. The outside smoking area with butt containers. Still needs to be cleaned up. The employees do not seem to care about other employees and refuse to go out and help others when there is a need.  The back stabbing. The importance of social communication when work duties are needed to be completed. Not focused on the job is evidence that the job is of no importance.
==================================================
If you have to train people to care. Then you are hiring people who do not care and will not care. Because, most people know how to spot a phony smile.
The mean customer is a reflection of your employees apathy.
An employee who is only there for the paycheck. is not concerned about the company, the customer or you.
An employee who only does the absolute minimum to keep their job. Is not concerned with your bottom line, Profit/Loss ratios or even thefts.
Just listen to your employees when they are unaware of your presence. From their words you will know the effectiveness of your management team and Human Resources Department.

TrailBlazers: (Unedited): 21 April 2013:

Your journey in this life is a result of the trails YOU blaze. Not from the trails other people make for you. C.J.MacKechnie

============================================================
I do ask questions in which I do not really expect any response or answer. This can be perceived at times as being rude of me. But, it is not. I feel it is important to EMPOWER those who ask for dream interpretations, readings, perceptions or advice. These are important lessons for you as well. Because, When people ask you for dream interpretations, advise, readings, perceptions sometimes what people want are answers. Answers given freely often are accompanied with no wisdom, zero knowledge and absent any understanding. The how a person comes up with their own answers is more important than the actual real answer.

Every choice you make is crucial in life. For those who are very sensitive, missing a simple meal can have an important impact into the negative zones of decision makings. A reference for those who are diabetic or hypoglycemic.
The result of troubles experienced today is a logical conclusion of decisions made yesterday. To correct a bad life experienced today. One must begin to make good decisions today. It is that over simplified.
But, for some who having made serious bad decisions in their past. They must live with and endure to the end. There are still choices. How will you live the life you have now and tomorrow? What are your short term goals in life? What are your medium term goals in life? What are your long term goals in life?
Such as a beautiful young girl walks straight into the darkness. After choosing not to make the right turn under the last flickering street light. Bad and terrible things happened to her. Now, she is the victim and must exist or live the rest of her life with the full knowledge of making a wrong decision. Yes, over simplified and a little insensitive. Still a foundational truth. How she lives her her right now and tomorrow. Will be the difference between a fearful meaningless existence and a full life with deep profound meaning. The difference is powerful empowerment or absolutely weak helplessness.
A diabetics poor choice can lead to a loss of toes or eyesight or even their life. But, Chocolates and mango's are soooo good. And mango's with hot chocolate is better than good. Is it worth a toe, an eye or a life? What does wisdom dictate? What does their emotional state show?
A super smart egg head genius refuses their education in favor of the excitement of a deceptive social life and the lies of cultural traditions. Their potential for making an important impact for the benefit for all of humanity, just turned to zero.
Choices always lead to an avalanche of more choices. How you stay ahead of the white crush is in itself exciting and empowering. A true revelation of your potential realized. This Florida boy who tries to out ski the avalanche of snow, will succumb pitifully, in a magnificent fail. This Florida boy who seeks the training, education and develops the skill to elude and escape an avalanche of snow. May find his personal victory. There is wisdom to be gained in organized education. No matter how bad it is from the government, society, culture or from your own blood family. Go and get your education for yourself. This self empowerment maybe one of the most important lessons for you to learn in the beginning of your new life. It will be your first and not your last. C.J.MacKechnie

Crumpled Tiger: (Unedited): 14 Nov 2011:

A paper tiger is easily crumpled and discarded-swish. C.J.MacKechnie

===============================================================
Self explanatory.
Don't become a paper tiger. Don't ever cheat and always do your best in school.
The grade you get is the grade you get. Far better is the person who receives a failing grade, while studying all of the time and not even considering cheating. Than it is for the person who receives a good grade while only memorizing the answers to the discovered questions.
