Born Originals: Why Live as a Copy ? (Re-Work)

 

Born Originals; Why live as a Copy? (Re-Work)

 

Livin and Lovin, we should not be crowd stubborn. 

  

God is truly calling you. The call on you is not to be a copy. 
 

In this day of peer pressure, trends, and fads, we need to realize that each person has been custom-made by God the Creator. Each of us has a unique call. We should be ourselves. Anyone, if courageous, can be themselves. It could mean being who you are and not a copy of a hot- looking celebrity. Be yourself, despite the fear. In a safe event,someone  might invite you to become yourself, answer with courage and  be sincere.. Overcome that first step of fear.

It could be a breakthrough for you. So step out,even so that's a shout out.

You and I are Originals. It's a poor bet, a dragnet and cruel trap to follow the mob,even when it seems the better thing to do.

You and I can always find someone  more richly equipped  or poorly equipped than we are. Each person more or less as able as many other people. What others have and what they say about us and our  lives should have no affect upon our call or who and how we love and live our life-journey.

God made You a certain way, You are unique, one of a kind. To copy others is to cheat yourself out of the fullness of what God has called you to be and to do. 

 

Imitation is instant limitation.

 

Stand out; don't blend in. The majority, many times, is a group of highly insular snails. If thousands say something foolish, it is still foolish. Truth is never dependent upon consensus (agreement) of belief.

Don't be persuaded or dissuaded by group think. It does not make any difference what anyone else believes: you believe. Never take direction for your personal life from a crowd. Herd mentality is not the reality.

Never choose to quit just because somebody disagrees with you. In fact, the two worst things you can say to yourself when you get an idea is "That's never been done before!" and "That's been done before!"

It explains in the 'Manual of Life' (paraphrased) that

 

"You are a chosen generation, a royal community, a set apart nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the respect of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light."

Trial-Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard:

Documentary review of Johnny vs Amber: The U.S. Trial (2022)

Few celebrity trials have exposed such profound tensions in Western society as the legal battle between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.

Johnny vs Amber: The U.S. Trial is a compelling two-part documentary examining the evidence, competing allegations and legal strategies behind the extraordinary 2022 defamation trial.

Its greatest strength is presenting both sides of the dispute, allowing viewers to consider the evidence rather than simply accepting the prevailing cultural narrative. Although the documentary could have explored the broader implications more deeply, the courtroom revelations are gripping.

The cultural significance extends far beyond Hollywood.

For decades, domestic violence has frequently been portrayed through a gendered framework: men as perpetrators, women as victims. Yet men can also suffer physical violence, coercive control, psychological abuse and devastating reputational harm.

The recordings of Heard acknowledging hitting Depp, and questioning whether anyone would believe a man claiming to be a victim, were particularly confronting...

The Virginia jury ultimately found that Heard had defamed Depp through three false statements made with actual malice, awarding him $10.35 million. Heard also prevailed on one counterclaim, receiving $2 million. An earlier British libel case had reached a different conclusion about allegations against Depp.

Nevertheless, the American verdict represented an extraordinary vindication for Depp and an important cultural turning point...

It challenged some of the more troubling assumptions associated with #MeToo and contemporary feminist activism: that women should automatically be believed, that men are inherently suspect, and that gender determines who deserves sympathy.

Genuine equality cannot coexist with gender-based double standards.

Women deserve protection from violence, fair treatment and justice. So do men.

False allegations should have very serious consequences, which serve as an effective deterrent. Genuine victims should be supported. Evidence, due process and individual accountability must matter more than ideological allegiance...

The trial also demonstrated the destructive consequences of hostile relationships, substance abuse, public humiliation and the failure to resolve conflict constructively.

Ultimately, healthier relationships between men and women depend upon mutual respect, honesty, empathy, responsibility and reciprocity; not upon suspicion, resentment or collective blame.

The enduring lesson of Depp vs Heard is simple: neither sex has a monopoly on victimhood, virtue or wrongdoing...

That is a foundation for genuine equality, and for a better future for everyone.

 The Greatest Risk ?

 

 

  In the words of motivational speaker Leo Buscaglia, “The greatest risk of all is to take no risk because the person who risks nothing accomplishes nothing, has nothing, feels nothing, and, in the end, becomes nothing.” 

 

 

 Final Comment:

The corollary risk you can take is to go it alone with the risk you are preparing to do

Pressures shared is buoyed by others who love and support you in your  risky endevour.Even if they don't comprehend your issues, concepts and risks fully-- being there and sharing is excellent regardless. Of course going it alone may be necessary,fear not and risk anyway.

Companionship:

When you long for companionship

“Then the Lord God made a woman…and he brought her to the man.” 

--Genesis 2:22 NIV

 

God recognised our need for companionship when He said, “‘It is not good for the man to be alone’…Then…God made a woman…and he brought her to the man” (vv. 18, 22 NIV). Most of us are social beings who are at our best around others. We garner energy and support from them. But there are those who feel a sense of shame over admitting their loneliness. They long for people to share their lives with but feel they must pretend they don’t need anyone.

You should not feel shame for wanting love and social connection. 

Admitting your desire to be loved and taking a step toward involvement actually requires courage. Accepting that you are a person who needs to connect is healthy. 

But problems arise when your need for companionship controls you. When you compromise your values in order to be accepted, the results are always negative. Clinging to other people without understanding who they are or what they represent is unhealthy. And the ramifications can have not only lifelong effects but sometimes also life-threatening consequences. Wise decisions about relationships are never to be made with a mind ruled by fear of loneliness or desperation. If that’s where you are, being single is a better alternative right now. It need only be temporary.

 

 So do these three things: (1) Ask God to guide you: “God sets the lonely in families” (Psalm 68:6 NIV). (2) Live by the values you’d want your loved one to hold as well. (3) Start with what you have to give and share with others, rather than with your unmet needs.

Netanyahu Leads in Election Bid in Israel:

Netanyahu Confounds Pollsters again, Leads all Parties in Israeli Election Bid.

JERUSALEM, Israel – With nearly 100 percent of the votes counted on Thursday morning from Israel's election, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud Party again confounded the pollsters and gained more votes than any other party, making him the leading candidate to form the next government.

Addressing his supporters early on Wednesday, Netanyahu declared, "The right-wing bloc has a clear, decisive majority among the Zionist public. And among the Jewish public and all those who support the Jewish state, this is what has become clear – a decisive majority." 

With a predicted 54 Knesset seats in the prime minister's bloc, Likud is still short of the 61-seat majority needed to form a government. The results seemed to upend the so-called "change" bloc of Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar Party. 

One of the surprises in the elections was a stunning turnout in the Arab sector, bringing the two Arab parties to their highest vote total in history, possibly blocking Netanyahu and Eisenkot from reaching a majority unless they work together. (Arab Israelis comprise about 20 % of the Israel's population )

Dr. A.J. Nolte, founder of Regent University's Israel Institute, explained during CBN News' live election coverage why no one wants to form a government with the Arab parties.

"Well, the Arab parties are non-Zionist, " Nolte noted. "So, they don't accept the Jewish nature of Israel as a state. And after October 7th, there's been a sense among a lot of the Zionist Jewish voters that rewarding that sort of opposition to Zionism with seats in the next government would send a bad message."
 

He also insisted that this is the time to deal with the regime in Iran.

"I want to tell you, Israel is facing a historic opportunity, once and for all, with our partner, President Trump, to remove the existential threat from Iran," he exhorted.

At Likud Party headquarters on Tuesday, Israeli analyst Elie Pieprz told CBN News he believes Netanyahu will reach out to Eisenkot to form a unity government, which would help in the battle against Iran...

Pieprz continued, "And I think that we have that an immense opportunity to continue the fight against Iran with Prime Minister Netanyahu (and) President Trump together. I think that can happen."

Pulse of Israel's Avi Abelow told us that the high voter turnout in Israel can be attributed to an awakening to how Israel's enemies are trying to destroy the Jewish state, and it sends a message to Americans.

"Everyone, strengthen your faith," he urged. "God is running the world. God's people and Jewish state of Israel are here on the front line, defending the whole freedom-loving world. No matter the pressure, no matter the lies. Stand strong with the Jewish people and the Jewish state of Israel. We've got your back."

Do you have a brief moment to consider sharing this post.
