The Law of Life: OBEYING YOUR WILL

The Law of Life: OBEYING YOUR WILL

         As I sit and watch the election returns, I watch the country’s many social pockets of people obeying the laws of their objective will.

            What exactly is the will of a person and where did it come from?

            The dictionary defines “will” as “the faculty by which a person decides on and initiates action.?

            Most of what we believe starts from the moment we breathe life. We can’t help but to be coerced by those who nurture us, raise us, and teach us. Many of my greatest ideals have actually come from exactly those people; some teachers, some preachers, but mostly parents. But interestingly enough, our wills are not just organically designed by positive input. They are sometimes more designed by the negative input people have on our lives.

            Because my father was Republican, and I first registered as a Republican in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, I absolutely have chosen to do exactly opposite of what he believed. Why? Because my father opposed me and my homosexual lifestyle most of my life.

            I see that my father died having spent most of his life angry and full of animosity about everything from religion to war to finance. Those demographics are mostly Republican ideology.

            However, from the first moment I can remember of being alive, I remember a mother who was compassionate and loving, very forgiving and wanting fairness for all. I also had two teachers in high school who provided a great deal of the social and technical nurturing I needed to make for a very diverse way to see life. One teacher was a Baptist preacher’s wife, the other was a single woman who taught art. Each brought to the table many beliefs and helped me form opinions and ideologies I’d retain until now. Thank you, Yvonne and Dolores.

            So, because of who I identified with as a child, I definitely have moved in the Democratic direction, mostly because of the sense that it is more about fairness and compassion, and less about finance and right-wing ideology.

            Objective will drives each of us every day. However, a lack of will may cause a sense of paralysis in your work life and in your relationship life. So, fear may hurt how your life turns out if it breaks your very important self-will.

            Will you break forth and leave your past and “will” your way into the future, or will you let fear take precedence of your life.

            What tells the tale of any person who breaks forth from the angst and anxiety of the past is usually their Will. If you can see that there is a chance of life being better, usually you can “will” yourself at trying the better way.

            I wish for you the objective will to move forward today, no matter what the circumstance.
