Being more Unified!
Editorial Note:
I was on social media and found people “wanting to communicate on a deeper level.” Let me say, this thought process and statement is very powerful. They want to not just say hi but really want to know how you are doing and feeling. WE, need God or Yahweh back in our life. This is the first step to a friendship; Listening to what the other person is telling you. This is an opinion on being unified.
Listening
Listening is a Main Avenue to be more united. Talking less and listening more. This, is a very powerful statement. When we listen, we become more involved in what the other person(s) are discussing with us.
Make the conversation more about them and less about you. Do more reflective listening. Meaning, you repeat back to them what they said to make sure you know what they are discussing with you.
This idea, makes you look and feel empowered. Why? We are connecting with individual(s) on a different and deeper level.
Lending an ear to: friends, colleagues or acquaintances is very helpful. They want to be heard. Reflective listening allows them to be heard by you. Out of respect, we should hear them out. Lean in when people are talking makes you focus on what they are saying. Listening is what it is all about.
The Skill of Listening, I picked up from watching: Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Judge Jeanine Pirro, Donald J. Trump, Marcus Lemonis, The Five, Maria Bartiromo, Bill O’Reilly, Parler (Which I am also on) and LinkedIn. These Journalists and Business People, whom I respect and admire, have Listening; down to a science. These are the types of people I want to emulate.
Reading
Reading is another avenue. Reading keeps us unified by being inquisitive and asking questions to yourself and to the author. This is forcing you to ask questions, in general.
Reading information enhances your: thoughts, asking thought probing questions, inquisitiveness and Reading challenges us daily to keep our minds opened.
Reading allows us to keep our wits and our minds in check. When our minds and thoughts are in check or engaged, our lips are not. When reading, we see the difference between the Bloviators and The Straight Talkers.
We must have control over our: thoughts, emotions and words. Again, when we think and read, our minds are churning and our lips and voices are silent. When thinking, we may acquire Ideas and problem solve simultaneously.
Do not just rattle off and Bloviate. Always think before you speak. If we think, before we speak, getting into trouble will diminish. Remember; when you say something you cannot take it back.

?E-Engage
?A-Analyze
?D-Deduce
Thinking and Reading will help mitigate issues of saying wrong words or getting tongue tied. Your mind is always working and grinding. A working mind that grinds gathers no cobwebs and leaves no mess.
Reading is a good way to help us in our daily struggles. A book that I love to read is the Holy Bible. The Mind of God or Yahweh.
When I read, I have a highlighter in my hand and pen nearby. I actively engage myself with the author. I have a notebook handy while using flags or tabs. Note: I only write in pencil in my bible and I do not flag it.
I am forever plastering my books up with these flags. This is how I learn, gain information and discuss it with my coworkers and friends. I ask questions to and of them.
God provides that for US all. How, you ask? Prayer, is the original Twenty-Four (24) hotline to heaven. God wants us to speak to him and he will talk to us. He wants us to communicate to him. We are his children.
I am not talking about anything of violence here. I am just saying when you are having problems talk to God or Yahweh. He will listen and return your call in his time.
Conversing. We should do more conversing. Not yelling or screaming. Listening more and Talking less is the main avenue.
Asking Questions
I love to ask questions and I ask plenty of them. Some to my friends, plenty to myself and plethora to God. I ask God or Yahweh simultaneous questions in a bolus form.
God is the All Mighty and All Knowing Entity. He, can handle all that we ask of him. His mind is vast and wide.
Why do I ask questions? So that I can receive and enhance my knowledge while producing and adding value to myself and the people around me. When you ask questions, your mind is working and you are engaged in finding something out.
The Holy Bible helps get me: physically, mentally, spirituality and emotionally centered for my day. Reading the Holy Bible helps me to attain spiritual nourishment to start my day. I know God or Yahweh is with me Is. 41: 10-14
When we sit in our quiet areas or “Reading Room(s),” to figure out and make sense of what we are reading, our minds are being expanded. That is what we want. To have our minds be molded and shaped in a good and honest way.
Reading allows or minds to expand and sift through the nonsense. If we challenge ourselves to analyze our reading material, we will become more analytical and a positive thinker. We can grasp concepts faster and think quicker. This analysis must be done on a daily basis.
As we are moving through our day, we take what we have read and meditate on it. We need to FROG; Fully Relay On God. As Moses relied on God; so should we. God has a special way for each of us to handle our own daily quandaries or troubles.
I think Prv. 16:16 says it best; knowledge is better than silver. That is just my opinion.
Whatever addiction(s) we have, Surrender them to God. That is the first step in the Twelve Step (12) Program for Addictions. “In God We Trust” should be the motto of the Beloved Nation of the United States once again.
When you read this or any other book, you are expanding your mind. When you are expanding your mind, you are gaining knowledge and praying that God will assist and guide you on your journey.
Learning
Learning is another avenue. We should soak knowledge up like a sponge soaks up water. Reading is what keeps our minds young and nimble.
We need God or Yahweh Back in Our Life and in Our Schools to help and guide us. In order for him to help we must talk, listen and learn.
I always like to learn and be learning daily. Learning is a good skill to acquire and keep. Learning something new every day keeps our mind(s) nimble and malleable.
Daily, we are fighting for the Will and the Soul of the American People and American Way of LIFE. Turn to the people whom you trust to assist you in your hour(s) of need. For starters a suggestion could be to turn to God or Yahweh.
In Summary
Never give up on Yourself. Remember, Your ancestors had it harder in the past than you do now. Seek help from others around you and pray to God for Guidance. Be patient, Guidance will come.
