What I know for sure ....(Part2)

I know for sure that we are all striving for some type of significance, we have a need to be important to others, a need to feel needed and appreciated. I know with some degree of certainty that the very humans we look to for significance and acceptance don't always grant it to us as easily as we expect them to. They are often seeking the same that we seek from them elsewhere. What works is for you to be 'self-significant', accept yourself - warts and all with the same degree of expectation that you would command from another human.


I know for sure that we all have a child inside, sometimes we have to search through puddles of blood, scars sweat to find that giggling, chubby faced, inquisitive child whose arms are wide open asking to be picked up. That child comes out when we giggle, when we actively chase our dreams and inquire about our surroundings. That child shows his/her face when we crawl into foetal position and cry ourselves to sleep after being rejected. As TD Jakes so well puts it - What we call intimacy as adults is really allowing some other adult the privilege to see the child we hide under adult flesh.


I have recently learnt and now know for sure that sex doesn't have as much power as we grant it. It all starts in the mind. Our God-granted minds are way more powerful than the body. The body's might is all controlled from the mind. Sex and all things that claim power over us must be managed and controlled from the mind which has the power to differentiate between right and wrong.
