A Reflection (1)

When I was young, I knew the quote: "God helps those who help themselves." I always thought that seemed selfish.  Many I knew already put all their problems to God.  Many I knew often misinterpreted this quote, thinking that this quote was almost a "get out of jail free" card or something.  Thinking they could take and not give.  I will have to return to these thoughts later to better explain what I mean (I am a bit foggy in my thinking right now).  I always thought to myself, though, I am filled with so much power.  I can do what I need to do.  I could feel my own potential, and I went out to do what I knew that I could.  I found in my life, by being hard working, honest, and humble, I could live life brighter somehow.  I felt that someone above me appreciated the use of my own gifts.  They were so happy that I lived true to myself in that sense.  They were also glad in my giving much of my own energy to those that needed it.  I saved someone from some very dark, dark depths before.  I believe I saved her life.  There were times when things were even out of my reach and I asked for help.  The one I remember the best is when traveling with my family on a 12-hour road trip. I know I helped to save us all that day by asking for protection beyond my reach.  I am still grateful to this day.

"Lol it’s the classic parliamentary gamble isn't it? But once you lose the public's trust on national security, having blind faith rarely works. You can’t mess with the basic duty of a nation and expect to keep your majority."
