Hello friends,
what! We’re already on Wednesday! Where did the days go?
Okay, what I am about to tell you is something I won’t apologise for. Take it how you take it, but this information will very likely save your life one day if you follow its advice. Now, who am I to tell you that? I am someone who knows what’s it like to be at the receiving end of the wrong advice or the way someone has said something with confidence to have me believe them without it being necessarily true… not once, not twice, … but countless times.
I am currently doing a Fourtopia challenge and with this challenge what is not necessary for my life anymore has come to surface (habits, patterns, thinking ways, actions, emotions, spiritual evolution, and even the physical aspects like my body) and I have successfully expelled what I needed to expel. With a couple more days left let’s see what comes up. This is what came to the surface this morning when meditation, sending light and prayer ended at seven in the morning. The first thing that came to me when I was getting up from the mat was, “You’re no longer taking advice from people who are bad examples. Take advice from people of proof not just anyone anymore.” A thought along the lines of, “Your life isn’t cheap, and suicide cannot ever be the option, do you understand? All the hard work you do and did for your life can’t end in seconds; do you understand? Your life is for you, no one gets the satisfaction to bring it down so low unless you give the wrong advice and the negative things the attention that it does not really require! This time you hold onto all the things that make you strong, that made you strong. Do not trade/part exchange hard work that you do/did with yourself that works for lesser negative ones camouflaged in an expensive wrapping, ever again!” – T. Dench Patel, 16 September 2020, 16:28
Listen, friends, we are surrounded by everything solicited, unsolicited advice and opinions everywhere and it’s up to you to ensure, yes, your responsibility to ensure where you are spending your energy and time. Time isn’t waiting for any of us. Your engagements should be intentional to yourself and others because what leaves your mouth is energy, what and who you give that energy to amounts to your time and their time. The question is, which one from the lot of you have the least time to waste?
So, this morning when I sat down to have a cup of tea while whoever sat at the table to have their breakfast, I told my father. “Dad, I have made a decision that I won’t pay much attention to people who are not great examples. In the past I knew what and when I had to do things, I did them, and then someone comes along, they look, act, and seem smart, they dish out advice, opinions, then we follow, that’s what most of us did when we were younger and even later on in our lives. They ask us all the questions; they’re busy sussing us out and we just don’t ask anything. I think from now on I should make it a point to ask people casually what their practices are or understand their life a bit more to figure out if their advice is valid.” My father responded, “That’s when you know, you can teach them rather than them trying to teach or show you.”
You can call the above paragraph what you want if you don’t like it, it’s fine with me, but I’ll tell you something, my last relationship that ended seven years ago with my ex-partner started just like this, and it dragged me like a car dragging someone’s soul ready to quit on the heated tarmac. You are your company, it’s true because I found myself around his crowd who couldn’t appreciate where I’ve come from, what I’ve learnt and even my native language, English. In this particular scenario, envy dishes out rubbish deliberately so that you trip and fall! T. Dench Patel, 16 September 2020, 16:49 Your life is too precious to not challenge beliefs and people in an outsmarted way. Learn those tactics, learn them, so that you can preserve your goodness, happiness, fantastic life, etc. but mostly so that you can keep excelling with the right knowledge because you and I know that this life has never been easy not one little bit.
To you, it might be something else but for me, it is looking at what your past speaks and what is it that you are doing right now to not let the past be your present. Actions, words, experience all should at least be aimed towards alignment if you want to get my attention and then I’ll let intuition do the rest. There are just too many people camouflaged as experts when they haven’t even practised half of what they preach. It’s just noise man!
See, so what happened in my life really was and is valuable, because I get to tell you where the glitches are in this life through my lens and where you can try and straighten things out in places where time and energy can just end up giving you a heartache, in my case, defamation, stalking, psychological abuse, job losses and a lot more it could have been better time spent in more constructive things. Use my articles (if this is your first time here) to get your life in alignment and synchronicity, because I tell you something, friends, it feels good, it feels like nothing I’ve ever lived in this human body so far.
Amen!
Yours sincerely,
T. Dench Patel
