Our Lives...As References for the Future

Good (looks at clock) morning guys. Hope you've had a good weekend. I know I have. I've got a little something for you. Don't worry. Nothing long and boring...and depending on your outlook on life, you might find this quite useful.

I called this blog post: Our Lives as References for the Future...take a minute to think.

    These days, we go about our lives mostly motivated by certain goals. Making that green, buying that pair of jeans, gettint that Blackberry, linking that person...etc....but we fail to see how our actions would look if we were being watched.
  The fact is, we are being watched. Apart from the Big Brother technology surrounding us, we are being watched by an even greater security camera: God.

I'm not gonna come up with any long religious argument...I'ma keep this short:

If we kept in mind that we were being watched by God, our families and friend's, we might change the way we act towards others, ourselves and how we live. I assume that we'd want people to see us in a positive light, right? Especially if we want to be role models for the future and present.

So why do the dirty? Why talk behind other's backs? Why steal? Why insult? Why be a player? Why be a liar? No-one said the righteous path would be an easy one. Trust me, I know. It just makes common sense really. What's the point in having to watch your back everytime, when you could just give up the negative stuff and be able to just look ahead without being scared of your past?
God forgives all if you're willing to change. Positive actions bring about positive karma at unexpected times.
There's a track I usually listen to by Talib Kweli (awesome lyricist btw) called: Give 'em Hell...I beseech you to listen to it. You might actually change...for the better.

Live your lives as positive testimonies. Live without regrets. What have you got to lose by living right? The girls, money and rep come second to the fact that if we don't get to heaven, my friends; then we're going straight to hell...

That's all from the Scholastic Rebel...until next time: Peace.
