Now that I can go to jail,I understand the importance of walking away. Trouble will always stand before you awaiting your reaction. Proving yourself in situations where you ultimately lose is a battle fought foolishly. For everything there is a season but we don't always approach life in a seasonal manner. Sometimes,we are caught up in our lives,extending issues AND worries AND drama AND problems. We never quite seem to extend the good things,just the bad.
I see prison as a very sad place. Forget all the terms like correction facility and all those words that glamorize the big house. Yes, you eat tax payers money but I wonder,what are they eating,what are they thinking. To wake up on a morning without the liberty to go where you want and do as you please, most often because you did not know how to walk away.(and this does not always mean in anger,could also be walking away from a bad situation.)
I always ask the Lord to ordain my steps. Not everyone in prison is bad. Many persons found themselves there because they were at one point ,in the very place we're standing in right now.So its important to bear that in mind-that there are innocent people in jail too.
For some reason,prison or death always seems to be the plateau or final destination for individuals who can't seem to let things slide.I watched the news last night,of the brutal chopping death. One witness said that he left and said he was coming back. He came back for his death.I wonder what would have happened if he had just walked away.Perhaps, he would be alive, with another chance at life today.
All I'm saying is that now that I can go to jail,I view circumstances differently. Its not hard to get upset but when you want to witness the manifestation of your dreams bad enough,you learn to let things go.People are very provocative.They will taunt and harass you to bring you to a point which will cause you much regret.More than anything its important to know how to walk away. Issues can escalate so quickly, making me realize that vexation of the spirit is a very dangerous thing.
Temporary insanity is real thing. People snap. People lash out.When you remember how great freedom is-you wouldn't jeopardize it over silly things.I remember having a very unstable and explosive temper when I was younger but wanting success in life was always more important than any person or thing that would upset me. And well, now that I could really go to prison,I feel more accountable to myself. It is my duty to do right by me.I must have my own back.(Side note-check out my post on having your own back)
As you get older,faced with more responsibilities and must answer for yourself, you will also come to realize that you must allocate your time wisely. Economics 101-Opportunity Cost, the loss of potential gain from other alternatives when one alternative is chosen. Time spent on waiting for something to happen on facebook is time spent away from reality where you could make positive things happen for you.
Now that the possibility of having my freedom taken away from me,hangs above my head as consequence for any extreme ill that happens in my life, I am caused to evaluate my reactions to situations more thoroughly. I must maintain focus on the present moment and never act impulsively..because...to every action there is an equal or greater or lesser reaction and there is a consequence for choice we make-be it good or bad.
With prospects like these hanging above your head,are you truly in control of the vessel which is your life.Do you have a grip on your emotions?Are you gambling with your life and liberty?
