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.

Read Genesis 37. That is where Joseph starts.

Spiritually Real: (Unedited): 1? Oct 2015:

Many can be confused between what is real and what is imagined. Those who do make and maintain a spiritual connection with God shall never be confused.

C.J.MacKechnie

=================
The spiritual world is like that of the zero state of all things. They are both neither real in our physical dimension and are real.  They are neither positive nor are they negative. Yet they are still as they are.
Falsehoods shall not deceive you when they disobey the Laws of God. Which do include the obvious 10 Commandments as well as the purple words below.  If anything is presented before you and it disagrees. Then it is wrong. No matter how eloquent the speech or how convincing the argument. The fact that a person needs to argue or debate is evidence of some kind of deceit or an attempt to convince you to be less holy and righteous. This is of course if you are already living your mental, spiritual and physical life as how God has intended.
By keeping your focus on what is true and truth. You shall not be overcome spiritually or mentally. I know that is easier typed than lived. But through the struggle is where the reward is. What is the reward? Victory in itself. Any test of your righteousness and holiness in which you have become more resolved into being unchanged and UN-moving. Is a victory. Just keep your connection with God. Even though the world and religions around you have already become drunk with sin.
================

To love one another.

To live in peace.

To exist in harmony.

 To cherish life. To obey/honor the Laws of God.

 To become the holy and righteous people as The Heavenly Father intended us all to be.

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.

War Pawns: (Unedited): 17 July 2013:

War Mongers will maintain their power and authority. So as long as they continue to create and perpetuate lies and deceptions amongst their common pawns. 

C.J.MacKechnie

===============================================
Anyone who does not have the minimum standard of wealth as defined by those who have heredity wealth. Will not participate in the realm of power and authority. The newly wealthy will be treated as they are. Promoted pawns. Everyone else is just a pawn including your admirals and generals.

Day Next: (Unedited): 10 June 2010:

The value of who you are, is who you have chosen to become this day and the next. Despite all that you have had to overcome in the previous days. C.J.MacKechnie 

========
It is to bad. That not everyone chooses to become stronger. Even after surviving great horrors of abuse and torture. Others choose to maintain their misery, sadness, Suffering or to just completely give up.
Just the fact that you did survive is evidence of your enduring strength. A strength which you may not even see or even accept. You are strong and stronger than most. Do not give up now, not ever. Do not give in to the negativity of your own minds creation. Fight, Fight, Fight. 

===========
It is always nice to discover that solid rock. When you are pulling yourself out of the mud that your drowning in.
Drowning in a river of sadness and misery. It does not matter who or what the solid rock is. Grab a hold of it and pull yourself free of the deadly torrents of negativity. You can do it. Become your own hero and free yourself. Your already strong enough. You have already proven it by simply surviving your life's horrors. Pull yourself up and pull yourself free. I will be standing upon the rock cheering you on.
