True Responsibility: (Unedited): 24 march 2008:

Once you realize and accept that the quality of your childhood is not your fault. The quality of your life today and tomorrow is your fault.
C.J. MacKechnie

=====================
I got caught up in all of that. Blaming everyone and everything for the misery of my life. Then it occurred to me. What now? and whats next? And who is exactly responsible for my failures in life today and tomorrow? The hard answer was ME?
So, You had been abused and tortured in your childhood and here you are now. You are now safe and free of the abuse and torture from your very own flesh and blood family. What now? Continue to be angry? Continue to hate? Continue to not care for anyone or anything? To do these things means your awful and terrible parents was right about you and they win. Don't let them be right and don't let them win. But, Then again it isn't about winning is it? Its about you right now. Its about your future that you can have. A good future worth living. A good life worth having. You survived the worst and may have almost been killed by them numerous times. This is the evidence that you are stronger than they ever were. So, Stop being stupid. Be your own hero and save yourself. Suck it up and stand firm. Go forth and achieve your dreams. Yes, it is OK to have your own dreams now. Build with your own hands the foundation of the education needed to build your dreams. To do allow the thinking of being years or decades behind your age group to hinder you, to stop you or to prevent you from achieving.
I guarantee when you begin to move forward slowly people will notice that your moving and take minimal notice. But, when you get up to speed like a massive freight train. People will move out of your way and maybe even hop aboard for your wonderful ride to come.

No Repeat: (Unedited): 24 June 2008:

The mistakes and sins that your family and friends have made in their own lives. Does not give you permission to repeat those very same mistakes and sins.
C.J. MacKechnie

==================
It is just like when. The parent tells the child to live a life with character, honor and without sin. Then the parent is witnessed by the child getting drunk, smoking, lying, cheating, having many sexual partners and etc. What will the child believe. The truth in words? Or the truth in action?"
By discovering and knowing the mistakes and sins that your family and friends have made. Enables you to logically not make those same mistakes in your own personal life.
Also, By discovering and knowing those things that your family and friends have done right. You have a template to follow. 

Lifes Meaning: (Unedited): 13 June 2008:

If we all learn and live like we truly love one another. Then real world peace will be a real conclusion. From the merging of love and peace we will begin to live and experience a meaningful harmonious life.
C.J. MacKechnie

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

World Peace cannot happen and will never happen in an absence of love. Harmonious Living cannot happen and will not happen in an absence of peace. There can be no life in the absence of love, peace or harmony.

Mindless Dog: (Unedited): 11 June 2008:

Do not mindlessly follow a man who makes left turns at maximum speed. They are just like a dog chasing his tail. Yes, it is exciting. Be warned! If you do, he may take you to the end of the road at full throttle.
C.J.MacKechnie

=========================
Formerly Named "Dead Enders". :
Men and women of excitement risk all for the adrenaline and they always go that next step to feel the next thrill. Even risking their own lives and causing there own loved ones sorrow at the accidental loss. Accidental loss? So, if you follow them the great risk takers. Be sure your willing to pay the price. Be sure your family and friends are OK with taking care of your body in your untimely death.

Wrong Three: (Unedited): 05 June 2008:

The good man who does wrong, will repent of his sins, ask for forgiveness and sin no more.
The bad man who does wrong, will not repent nor ask for forgiveness while searching out his next.
The other man who does wrong, will not repent nor ask forgiveness. Simply because he feels so much guilt. That he has chosen to wait for whatever punishment comes his way.

C.J. MacKechnie

=====================
The other man is the reason why many remain in Hell even after they have been freed by Jesus Christ.

Missed Wisdom: (Unedited): 03 June 2008:

When a man purposefully studies religions and philosophies for that elusive title/trophy of being considered wise. The search will harden his heart and mind. He will always think there is something that he has missed.
C.J. MacKechnie

================
A man with many titles guaranteeing and proving that he is wise. May in fact only prove that he is merely knowledgeable without and real wisdom or understanding.

Is Truth: (Unedited): 31 May 2008:

Who you choose to believe. Is your truth that you will build your life upon. When the flood waters rise, is when you discover what the real truth is and it will bring you comfort or despair. C.J.MacKechnie

=========================
Believing a truth as a truth when it is a lie or a deception. Is often time not discovered or revealed until after your trials and tribulations.
