10 9 2018 Fun Duty Bound: Being Responsible When We Are Not In The Mood

“Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, ….”

The bible verses above are perfect for the current bad state of affairs in American government.  Things look very bad.

Since I wrote last, I have been watching my life getting worse.  When I am over whelmed with depression from all the bad stuff that happens to me I withdraw, which means I do not write.

1. Transmission of one vehicle went out.  

2. I got an older vehicle working and insured it. Started with tire problems.  Then gas tank problems. The insurance company that sold me insurance notified me they were going to cancel that insurance.

3. Now, I have the vehicle that originally broke in a garage.  Best case scenario is that it is an electrical problem and can be fixed for around $700.  Worst case scenario is that the transmission is bad an may cost around $2000.

I have good credit.  When I get back to operating my taxi, I will start making good money.

I just don’t want any more debt.  Recently US GOV demanded $700 for Obamacare.  I thought Trump got rid of the Individual Mandate.  I guess he did not.

Yes, I know it sounds like I am complaining.  When I started this Fun edition of my BLOG I was trying to keep my spirits up and by maintaining a good spirit teach people how to deal with difficult challenges with out loosing their good spirit.

I just remembered these car repairs cost money and I loose money by not having a vehicle I can use to make money.

Regardless, of troubles I have to remember that every thing that is good in life has to be championed.  Humanity is in a crisis.  People, are obsessed with politics and hate their neighbors.

I know about hate. For over 20 years I have been conducting business next to taxi drivers who are complete devils.  Even though I work hard at spending my life with Jesus Christ, these taxi drivers spend their time giving me dirty looks, spreading rumors, stealing trips from the back of the line, and sticking their nose in my business.

I go to conduct business to listen to good music, watch healthy fun entertainment, try and provide good service, and be grateful for what God gives me.  Lately, I have been able to meet most of these goals.

What keeps me going forward is I know I am duty bound to keep living a good life.  Sometimes, we are not feeling good while we labor.  However, we will accomplish more by being responsible.

I will have to have patience while I wait for my vehicle to be fixed. Also, I will have to pay the cost.

All I have been doing for a long time is working and worrying about money. I can’t remember when I had time off to just relax and enjoy life.

It bugs me I will have to start from scratch.  I just have to be a grown up.

In the bible I have read “…who by worrying will add a second to his life….”  We harm our selves with our negative thoughts.  The truth is that worrying will not add a second to our lives.  In fact, the stress that comes from worrying will shrink our lives.  Stress is a killer.

Now, I am not going to lie.  I am hurting.  It is okay to hurt.  Trying to hide from our emotions no matter how volatile our emotions may be is wrong.  The key is to put our emotions in the right place and look at life in a more realistic view.

The positives are:

1. I have the money to pay for the repairs.

2. When the vehicle is fixed I will be able to start making money again.

3. The vehicle that I fixed and paid to fix is a good personal vehicle I can use to travel and pursue fun entertainment.

4. Even If I have to buy another vehicle when the one I am paying to have fixed breaks, the money is there and the means to pay the loan off is also there.

5. I have a mind set of health which involves not over eating, exercising, and only consuming healthy spirit building media like Christian media and Hallmark movies.

6. I do not have any illnesses, pains, and aches.

I would not try to have a girlfriend.  It would be bad for her and it would be bad for me.  A positive is knowing how not to make mistake in order to medicate hurt.

I will keep figuring out things in a healthy and positive manner.
