Crucible Attitude: (Unedited): 15 Sept 2017:

Becoming and being more than all of the demands placed upon you. Defines the man you are to be or the man you are now. Maintain the good driving attitude even during the worst of the crucible. 

C.J.MacKechnie

============
We all have demands placed upon us all. Some of those demands are fair and unfair. Some of those demands are part of the job or a part of someone else job. Some of those demands are asked for and others are just dropped upon you for no more reason than it is you.
The attitude one has internally. Is the key of enduring and even conquering these crucibles placed before you. Some are meant as evil traps to cause you to fall or fail. While others are just placed in your way for no real reason then there they are.
The attitude of your heart must always follow the attitude of your mind. In that order. What any crucible presented before you sums up your core beliefs and foundational faith.
==========
In the Holy Bible. Who did Joseph work for? Who did Joseph live for? Be Joseph in your world. It is said that Joseph only had concerns for food. Nothing else in the world really mattered to him. So who did Joseph truly work for? God. Who did Joseph truly live for? God.
Joseph did wonderful things and benefited his family in-spite of what they had done to him. Joseph did wonderful things as well for the Egyptians whom he served. In-spite of what they had done to him.
So no matter where ever you are in life. Who do you truly serve self, man or God? The world or The Heavens? Do you only live for this limited life of short duration or for everlasting life in heaven?
When you face your crucible or this thirty third one. Know that it had a beginning and it will have a conclusion. Also, know that you will be the one which lasts longer than this current crucible.
==============
Personal Note:
I'm no longer a self trained athlete.
My entire life has or seems to be one crucible after another. It does not matter to me what is before me. I shall over come. It does not matter what was. because it is done and over and I continue onward. It does not matter what shall come after or how many shall come after. I shall over come. Even if one of the crucibles shall end this physical existence. I shall continue as I do know for certainty that there is continuation after this body stops working.
============
Note: The original intent is for male athletes who must endure the demands of their coach. Sometimes when you are at your limit or the limit you think your past. The coach just keeps pushing you forward past your limits. Two things happen. One, you have achieved more in-spite of your own unwilling attitudes. Two, once you sort out all of your own emotional negativity. You discover that you are now more than what your were before.
This is also for the female athletes.
This is also for anyone who is in their own kind of crucible or torment.

Owned Robot: (Unedited): 08 May 2015:

When you refuse to follow the desires of your own heart and the dreams of your own mind. You become just another everyday ordinary slave robot to the world which owns you.

C.J.MacKechnie

=======================
Listening to the desires of your own heart and the dreams of your own mind are those natural sources of direction you should take in your own life. By not listening to or following those desires and dreams. You submit your entire identity and direction of life to the leading of the world. In which the fee the world will charge you for their leading and guidance. Is the giving of your whole self to the desires and demands of the world system. By you obeying all of the demands of the world does mean that you have already become an enslaved robot.
=========================
Even if at this time you are already committed to this journey you have taken in this life. Like me. You may have to be the slave to the world for only a little while longer. But, you can begin now to raise up your own children to be strong and courageous and to follow their own dreams and desires. In doing so. You a enslaved robot like me. Can alter the future of humanity with the generation of your own children educated with wisdom and understanding. Then teach them that all of humanity no matter where they are, are truly your brothers and sisters. This is a genetic and unarguable fact. That the lies and deceptions of race relations is just a false truth taught to the generations of men in order to keep them segregated and isolated from one another. Because a divided people is a people which can be enslaved easily. By maintaining an us versus them mentality also keeps everyone separated from one to another. Through your own fears do you isolate yourself .
Read and watch this. A fearful mom sees her son becoming a part of the Baltimore riots. Out of her fear for her son being shot by the cops. She reacts in accordance to her fears and then she becomes a hero. Would the cops and the military shot her son? Yes, if the riots had escalated. It is the evolution of compliance through pain. The mother complied through her assumed pain of the possible killing of her son.

========================
Of course listening to and following your dreams and desires are merely conditional. This is assuming you are a good person as defined by those ancient Holy texts. There are many people who have read the holy texts from cover to cover and yet understanding none of the wisdom contained there in. For instance here in Florida just the other day in the news. His lawyer even stated that he is a decent man. Really! This is no Robin Hood. He even had two very high value cars in his driveway. This is most definitely a wolf in sheep's clothing.
http://www.tampabay.com/news/courts/criminal/clearwater-minister-accused-of-aiding-tax-refund-scams-totalling-755900/2228289
But, this is just one bad person amongst the multitude of bad within this state of Florida, USA and world. Assuming he is found guilty in a court of law. But, his lawyer has already set up a plea bargain. So the general public may never know the real truth.

Attack Heroic: (unedited): 25 Feb2013:

Those persons who always asks or demands, help or assistance. While not doing anything for themselves is an outward spiritual attack upon you the heroic. C.J.MacKechnie

========================

This is not a message against those who are the genuinely disabled and who will always be unable to do certain things. There are those who are born who will always need assistance and friendship from a person who has the means. The assistance and friendship should not be separate from one another. 

This is directly a message for those who seem to be able to beg for money while being capable standing all day on a street corner in the hot sun. (I'm not able to do that). Or any other person who does nothing for themselves and yet expects you and anyone else to help them over and over. This is their con over you. Using guilt and other negative emotions to motivate you to decide to choose to do a thing which benefits them.

=========================

Own Shepherd (unedited). 19 Feb 2011

When the sheep each become their own good and holy shepherd. They each will no longer fear the hidden wolves or the demons of darkness.
C.J.MacKechnie

====================

It is not personally necessary to have leaders, rulers over your life. When you choose to live your own life in accordance to God's Laws and mandates. You know longer need laws of man to govern and control you. When you choose from a position of logic, You will live your life in accordance to that logic. The commandments is based in logic. 

To freely choose without any outside manipulation, threats, demands. is the essence of freedom. To make a decision under duress of any kind is a decision someone else made for you and is not freedom. GOD/ALLAH/GRANDFATHER does not want us to be slaves. If HE did then we would be forced to obey daily and every second all of HIS laws. This is not happening. Therefore we must choose to obey of our own free will. Whatever it is that we each individually choose will have a logical result every time. The world is of our own creation. The resultant problems of our world is the logical conclusion of all of our individual choices.

==============

Go and sin no more.
