I felt the need to lighten up the mood after all the information I posted last week. This is one of my favorite short films from Pixar. It's only 3 1/2 minutes long. But it's a hoot!
The blue bird represents all of us who are happy and content with who we are and what we have to contribute to this world. We were created to be UNIQUE individuals and I thank God for that. Because if that were not true, then we would ALL be clones! Therefore, dare to be different, dare to question those who attempt to impose their beliefs upon you, dare to look at the world through your eyes and not someone else's, dare to think for yourself, dare to say NO that's not true or NO that's not right, dare to follow your own path this lifetime.
The moral of the story: It doesn't pay to be a sheeple! Don't be a willing CLONE! Don't let anybody DEFINE YOU. Everybody around you will always have their own impression of you. They may even share those opinions of you with others. But don't let that "group think" mindset cause you to comply. Because if you do, you are allowing them to wittle away your self-esteem and then suddenly you will be at their mercy. Don't give anybody that kind of power over you. That's NOT RESPECT, that's manipulation and control. It's not their life, it's yours. They don't pay your bills, you do. You can't control how anybody feel's about you. The ONLY thing you have absolute control over is YOU and how you respond. Nobody can hurt you without your permission. The sooner you realize this fact, the closer you are to liberating yourself. Get to know yourself and learn to love and respect yourself. Once you have achieved this, you will feel confidence in yourself and your abilities. Then you will start blazing new trails these people could never have imagine in their lifetime. You will be surprised to discover that it was never about you, it was about their own insecurities and their own low self-esteem. Be true to yourself.
Reverend Jesse Jackson is a good example of somebody trying to manipulate and control by using "group think". The Rev. Jesse Jackson criticized Rep. Artur Davis (D-Ala.) this past November for voting against the Democrats’ signature healthcare bill. The Rev. Jesse Jackson said, “We even have blacks voting against the healthcare bill from Alabama. You can’t vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man.” This has to be the most absurd statement I've heard to date. So let me get this straight, the 'Reverend' is going to wave his magic wand and change the pigmentation of Rep. Davis' skin? or the 'Reverend' is going to BANISH Rep. Davis from his black kingdom? Now I'm neither white nor black. But if somebody told me that I was going to lose my ethnic heritage if I didn't comply, I would LAUGH in their face. What a joke! Since when did he become God? If the 'Reverend' influenced everybody to shun me because I refused to COMPLY, that would be alright with me. Because I wouldn't want to be hanging around people who WOULD NOT ACCEPT independent thoughts and independent actions. That sounds like being part of a GANG to me. No thank you 'Reverend'. I utterly agree with the late George Carlin when he said that the Reverend Jesse Jackson Jr. has always been part of the problem and never part of the solution. Oh and by the way 'Reverend', Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a FREE MINDED TRAIL BLAZING registered REPUBLICAN.
Oh and how about Rush Limbaugh's ardent fans? Well let's just say that things may be different today had he not encouraged his supporters to follow through with "Operation Chaos". You see Rush Limbaugh asked his Republican listeners to vote for Senator Barack Obama early on in the primaries. Then in March Rush Limbaugh changed his strategy and asked his listeners to vote for Senator Hillary Clinton. Your little game that you and your listeners were having so much fun playing BACKFIRED and NOT only on you, but the rest of us. You see sir that's what happens when you play mischievous games. We are ALL reaping what YOU sowed: Chaos! I honestly wish you had the decency to allow the election process to unfold naturally. It was bad enough to have the Obama campaigners responsible for election mischief. Why did you have to stoop to their level? Now I hear you bitching, moaning and groaning about the current state of affairs. Well sir I have you and your undue influence to thank for that.
The moral of this story should apply to every area of your life... To always be a leader and not a follower. I'd like to share a quote I live by; "Leader's are like eagles, they don't flock, you find them one at a time". WE are the LEADERS that WILL make the necessary changes around the WORLD, NOT the politicians, NOT those in positions of power and most certainly NOT the nutcases attempting to take away our FREE WILL!
Independent, Rational, Objective THINKERS of the WORLD unite!
