Thanks for keeping up the deep thoughts, engaging ideas, and inspiring presence! I haven't seen any of your videos in a while, but this didn't disappoint! I'm inspired by your approach to these things, thoughtful but infused with warmth and authenticity. Keep up the great work and never forget that God uses you (every day, even now!) to do great things. Stay close to Him, b/c "He lifts up spirits, brings a sparkle to the eyes, gives health and life and blessing." --Sirach 34:20 =)
I gave my Bob away to my little brother who's in the Marines. But when I did have it, I've never had any kind of aggression. It's just a dummy. When I think way back to any martial arts I've practice, or combative and bayonet training in the Army, never had any aggression. Sure I'd get frustrasted, but I never imagined Bob being a person or idea. Bob is just a dummy. More like a buddy for taking my blows. He's a pretty good guy. Never complains. It's not his fault for the mean mug.
Also, thanks for the book. Don't have the money for it now, but what you talked about got me into volunteer work again. Thanks a lot and keep up the great videos!
It's like when Jesus cleansed the temple--he got RRRRRRRRREALLY pissed and people thought he completely lost it. But the whole time he was careful not to injure any innocent bystanders because it talks about how he knocked over all the tables EXCEPT the ones with the doves and how he managed to improvise a scourge to humanely move the livestock while being enraged...He knew he had to kick ass but he was paying attention to whose ass it was. Ever heard this song? /watch?v=JjzHZDPrYKg
It doesn't surprise me that personalizing a punching bag as your enemy is not something you consider because you seem far to nice & sweet to do such.
Your videos seem to strive to an ideal you honestly try to strive in yourself, so your viewers see your best in terms of your thoughts & ideals. I'm sure you have your moments of negativity & failure but you chose to keep your videos above that.
If I was hitting a punching bag I would be focusing on technique & power, that would be enough.
Because how can one bring about peace in the world without first having peace within oneself? Or is it the act of bring peace that gives us peace? Or a bit of both? All problems seem to stem from unrest of spirit (at the root, the initial nudge pebble in an avalanche) and move outward, out of self, onto others, and so on. Anyway, wonderful video as always Roses, always welcome to hear insight from you again.
I remember from a mission group I went on called Totus Tuus (Totally Yours) a quote (George Washington Bethune - Fruit of the Spirit) "A man cannot be at peace with his fellow man until he is at peace with himself, and he cannot be at peace with himself until he is at peace with God" What I "punch" when I'm on the mat is be trying to break down my barriers, whatever it is that's holding me back from being at peace with myself and God.
I practice Judo, which is a Japanese form of wrestling that focuses on throws, grapples, and pressure points. I started it for discipline and to get into shape, but I did notice a positive change when I'm on the mat. I wrestle with myself, not myself as a person, but more my own insecurities (fear of failing, holding back, ect) And while it's nothing noble like solving worldwide problems. It is something important and I do have to face when I'm on (and off) the mat.
@Griffinhearted Thanks for your thoughtful insight! I trained in judo too & competed a bit- tho I could never get myself to not care about a person's well-being just because we were supposed to compete/fight. After all, we were there for the same reasons:) It turns out I should have worried about myself bcz I ended up with compressed discs=P You're totally right in saying that peace has to come from within! Even the Golden Rule doesn't make much sense if you don't respect your own human dignity!
@nikisayschill I think I just had a big imagination & a lot of dreams of "changing the world"=P I'll keep the idea in mind as a future topic tho.. & yet, because I moved multiple times and was home schooled a large part of the time, I don't know how helpful my video would be. I realize several people who identify with an INFP personality preference say they were loners, but while I was definitely alone a lot(out of circumstance), I don't think I was much of a loner. I liked people and still do:)
