True Blue Quotes

“Do you know that there are people that can’t talk or see so knowing them is deeper than them explaining themselves to you? Knowing them is deeper than their story. Knowing them is reading their eyes.Knowing them is understanding their walk. Knowing them is understanding the difference between their twenties smiles. Knowing them is feeling empathy for their cries. Knowing them is deeper than a vocal or written language. Therefore, a person can never know me by only reading my story. Knowing is a perception. Fully knowing is the impossible.”

“Wealth is being in possession of one of God’s living creations. Because of this, new creations are constantly being produced, so you can never run out. Being rich is being in possession of many of God’s dead creations. You can run out of these because they can’t be replaced. Do you know that being rich is only being rich in art or creations? The rich have access to great artists’ work. This work is usually priced at the highest cost. They have the best designers, best architects, best automotive engineers, etc. When artists are great creators of a thing, and in possession of their work, people often say that they look rich. No. The rich look like us. They have access to our God given talents; and God is the biggest creator of us all.”

“People tend to judge others by their experience with life. People tend to judge others by their experience with love. People tend to judge others by their experience with pain. People tend to judge others by their experience with trust. I often laugh at false judgement. I’m usually laughing because you don’t know that your false judgments just hold a mirror to you. Your doubt lets me know what you’ve never seen and your comparisons lets me know what you’ve been through. I think that judgement comes when a person doesn’t understand the psychology of reasoning behind another person’s actions. A man or woman who has walked in many shoes has the ability to overstand an action, but disagree without judgement because of this overstanding.”

“We live most of our lives in segregation with people of our same level. We are in relationships with people around our age, in school with people of our education level, at work with people of our same pay rate, and in neighborhoods with people living the same as us. We are so comfortable with being around ourselves that when someone walks in the room of a greater level we are reminded of the insecurities in ourselves. It’s like love. Things that we think are gone until we are around a certain person again. The public internet is one of our only unsegregated places. This causes us to be digitally jealous of lives that are real and made up. I can only imagine if billionaires really showed their lives. Where would our jealousy be then? We’ll only find happiness when we find it within ourselves. Jealousy is a never ending game.”

“My whole life I’ve had the confidence of ignorance and also was constantly being judged by the confidence of ignorance. When I say the confidence of ignorance I mean the confidence that we have when moving without the fear of knowing life’s limits. I mean the confidence of ignorance that a baby has when diving into a 30ft pool because he or she thinks that it’s the same depth as a bathtub.”

“We are emotionally attached to our own ideas of living. With this attachment we tend to judge others. We can’t even be properly nourished by the same foods or be cured by the same medicine; So what makes us think that we all can successfully live by the same rules? Everyone has their own idea of happiness. What makes one person happy may make another person feel the exact opposite.”

“Real love is reassuring.Real love is having the comfort of knowing that in your darkest hour someone will love you the same. I was away from real love for some time and became dependent on self-love to keep me sane. It wasn't until real love came back around that I noticed that it was missing. It was that family love that, even though I said I was okay, knew what I needed all off of intuition. I've had people love me in my success and turn their backs on me in my momentary failures. I've worked very hard in order to impress the social standards and did all of this just for my family to still love me for me. When society asks, "How are you doing?", they usually mean your accomplishments. When real love asks, "How are you doing?", they usually mean your soul. Real love is addictive. I hope you find it. Love is forever.”

“Sometimes our new mindset doesn't align with our old lives. We've spent our whole lives conquering the wrong mountain and now we are so afraid to leave the top. Though our new mindset would no longer allow us to be happy on this mountain, we are still hesitant. We were taught our whole life that life is one mountain. One career path, one relationship, one purpose, and one box. We are so scared to be at the foot of the right mountain. So used to being Kings and Queens that we are scared to get back to the foundation of the pyramid; a place where if you tell your new peers about your past while going through your new mountain's challenges, they won't believe. Most of the time we aren't happy because we're trading social acceptance for peace. How ignorant are we to think that life is just one mountain? God may bless us with 70 years to be productive, but we want to lay down in 5. Don't be scared to be at the foot of another mountain; because when you stop growing you die.”

“Sometimes our pride and success are going in two different directions. Not our morals and success. Not our respect and success. Not our faith and success, but our ego and success. We can’t be who we want to be and still become successful. Not who we need to be. We can’t be who we are tempted to be, and still become successful. Sometimes failure is success because it saved us from roads that we shouldn’t have been on in the first place.”

“Yes! Everyone is right. Since everything exists in perspective, our view depends on our version of reality. The negative and positive exist in the same space. I think that we are created in opportunity. We give each other opportunities. Our opportunity may not be limitless, but we never ran out. People give us the opportunity to love. Oxygen gives us the opportunity to breathe. Water gives us the opportunity to swim. Our home was an opportunity provided by trees. We are surrounded by opportunity; but if the world wanted to have opportunity in one tree then it would be limited. We are limited by looking for opportunity in 1. As long as the 1% of anything holds the opportunity, then opportunity will be limited. I learned to find opportunity within myself and attract opportunity from others.”

“Money and power magnifies our temptations. It allows us to do the things that we already wanted to do mentally. It allows us to be who we already wanted to be. In position, people will show you who they really are. Sometimes a financial burden is saving you from yourself. We seem to only have emotion for the things that have affected us. Some leaders had to be put through a struggle in order to genuinely lead. Some are placed in the mud before they find their purpose. A real leader, leads in the mud too. They can’t help but lead wherever they are.”

“Different levels of growth are inevitable. Love and attachment are also inevitable. Therefore, conflict and heartbreak are inevitable as well. We all know that the world’s creations are destined for different heights so some will reach their limit of growth before others. We express our love, attachment, and heartbreak in different ways so on your journey you may reach conflict. At this point always understand that it is just a part of the process of evolution. We ask for one, but we can’t have it without the other.”
