The Strenuous Pattern

It's your Adversity Educator, Pattern Realm


     Authorized and dipitized by the board to talk about some hard lessons I've learned.
     This summer on one of my podcasts I did a series called The Strenuous Pattern, which in some ways Chronicles the heart lessons that I have had to learn between February 1999 and August 2003.  And so without any further ado let me brief you with those hard lessons.
1.  It takes two for a marriage commitment;  I'm wanted my marriage to last but the thing is now that it's over and now that I've come to my senses over a period of 24 years I have determined my healthy share of responsibility for the breakup.  So the longest time I used to blame myself totally until Heavenly Father warned me over a 2-year period to knock it off.  I said some hurtful things during the marriage no doubt.  But last week after praying I asked the Lord to cleanse me and purge me of all that guilt and regret they have been wrapped over me for the past 24 years 
2.  If your current friends do not let you be your authentic self then it's time to branch out and find new friends.  It sounds awful I know but in many ways it's true.  I had friends that had a specially unhealthy hold on saving my marriage for some time long after the divorce was final.  I finally had the possess the intestinal fortitude to warn people to just let it go.  And then it was at that point that I knew I had to branch out.
3.  Christ can heal all wounds.  You see in June 2000 I was on a train wreck crash course to self-destruction through the vehicle of burgeoning alcoholism.  My counsel showed up two days after I pulled my drunk and she confronted me about my behavior saying if that was I was that miserable to want to drink just to forget that I had to do something. Therefore that's what brought me to my new faith journey.
     there were some hammer taps along the way that propelled me for the beginning of my journey.  The first one was being terminated from my volunteer job with a legal aid in February 2001.  
     The second hammer cap was even more serious when an ultrasound picked up the possibility of precancerous cells for testicular cancer.  To add fuel to the fire it was my second cancer scare in 2 years!
4.  If your current friends cannot accept the way that you evolved over the years then it's time to branch out.  I'm not just saying this for myself I hear it all the time in zoom calls with my mentor The Coach Presley Swaggerty.  Reactive-minded people are not going to want you to evolve they're going to want you to respond with the current and keep to it.  If you are in the success mindset you can't have that in your mind and life.  As Jesus put it shake it off!
     I hope these four lessons help you I had to learn them the hard way In some ways I'm still in the process of learning them.  It is my hope that what I am teaching will give you some value.

Have a blessed day

Guard The Door to Your Heart

Good day Pat and Realm      This blog today happens to cover what I see is almost sensitive subject, A subject where someone who is lonely let someone into their circle of friendship only to find out that that person betrayed him.      I will not use his real name in my blogs or my podcaster videos but suffice it to say let's just call him Sam.      I met human savory this year and we were getting along so well communicating like about subjects like business and leadership all seem to be looking good.    In Mark however friends and family when they would see him come over saw warning signs based on his freaking sieved ideas and believes which for contrary to mine.  My sister and my best friend urge for me to stay away from him.     And then in mid-April out of meeting he delivered a long speech at reactive diatribe if you will that hurt very deeply everyone that was present.      I was hoping that he wo...

Mass Media for Entrepreneurs

Hello Pattern Realm       This topic has been pretty strong on my mind all morning and so this afternoon I figured I would sit down and talk about the various mass media which entrepreneurs can use.       It's customary for most people to think all of the things that the only media outlet is for entrepreneurs to be in social media. That's all and good but here's the is the reasonable question.   What mass media can be best suited for On Cameron's based on preferenc?       I mean social media is OK but in other words it leaves a lot to be desired.   It takes a lot for entrepreneurs just starting out to write out attention getting posts for people.   Not to mention something that I have been saying for the past 4 years is that social media is too much a part of our distractive defiant culture.   There are other areas of mass media which we can study. 1.     Radio and television..  ...

The Cry of The Herd

Hi Pattern Realm, Jimmy is on autopilot, so you're stuck with me on this post.      Dreamers nowadays often feel more isolated because of the cry of The Herd.  "Everybody's doing it" has been a catch phrase for 6 decades and it seems to be getting worse.       Herdthink or is President Donald Trump is finally putting it groupthink is a concept with people full of dream steamers.  Don't let the herd come out and steal your dream have confidence to blaze your own path.       The herd seems to have its own thinking of what's right and wrong with a world ever turning gray.  But it doesn't matter to ole JR.  Wrong is wrong and right is right.  In Christ  JR EYP
