When I look back at times in my life I cringe at some of my thoughts, words and behaviors.
I left my marriage because I thought it wasn’t as inspiring as it should be. I left my corporate career because I felt I deserved to be inspired at work and was not being inspired.
Early on in my adult child singleness, I once went back to an Al-Anon meeting looking for an answer to my self-centered question—I had an alcoholic in my life by birthright, why on Earth would I ever want to date one?
I cringe at some of my thoughts, words and actions, sometimes as recent as last week and sometimes too from today.
I am only human after all.

My dishonesty, rationalizations and justifications can often turn the lies into truths for me. I have to be careful not to create my own living hell, one in which my spirit finds it difficult to live and grow within me.
In all the work God has done within me these last fifteen years of TROML I can now, to a much better extent, accept, love and have compassion for myself; the same acceptance, love and compassion He has for me. God never leaves me, I leave Him.
Indeed acceptance, love and compassion of self was the seed God planted in me to root me in Him, even though it may have appeared differently in my life, I had stopped all the unnecessary and random movement away from Him. Through my TROML Journals these past fifteen years I found a new version of God and a new me.
Looking back, when I thought my marriage and career were not inspiring, in reality, it was me that was not being the inspiring one. I still cringe when I look back and that is God’s intuition in me to learn, grow and go on living a life as close to Him as possible.
Looking to the future, I cringe with the knowledge and acceptance that when I look back five years from now, I will be cringing then at some of my thoughts, words and actions from today. That’s the evolutionary cycle for all of us, get real and accept reality.
There is progress in my life but I am not and never will be perfect.
At best with His help and yours I can hope to be imperfectly perfect for the rest of my life.
I feel at peace; I also feel joyful and free now. This is what I consider to be The Ultimate Love in life and beyond. Thank you God and others for bearing with me which means you have loved me despite experiencing my bad along with the good in me.
I rejoice in my free human will. I rejoice in the fact that I have the freedom to make choices in the way I live my life. I pray for the knowledge of God’s Will for me and the power to carry out His Will for me in my lifetime.
We are all beautiful in our imperfections and God’s perfection within each one of us.

We are all human and beautiful after all.
I know the ‘we’ is every other person in this world whether or not their God is manifested through Jesus like mine or via another faith in Muhammed, the Torah, Buddha or another religion or spirituality of one’s own choosing. Or a belief that questions religion or spirituality or one that believes in no religion or spirituality at all.
‘We’ are ‘us.’
You are human and beautiful.
Let’s first be who we are supposed to be to ourselves and forget about imposing our beliefs on another.
Let’s let our thoughts, words, and actions and our own version of The Ultimate Love speak and demonstrate each of us to the world.
For then we will all be human, beautiful and divinely inspired after all and what a beautiful world it will be. One of peace, joy and freedom—an Ultimate Loving World.
Have a TROML Day Today!
Your Personal Revivalist,
Anonymous Andy

And if the karma patrol
Take control
I'm gonna be in trouble
And if the moral police
Asks for receipts
I am gonna burst their bubble
Richen, smidgen
Muddy, smutty
Who is your god?
I'm not the type to pray, except when I fall
I'm only human after all
I played the devil's advocate
I played into his hands
I played the fool, I played the fire
I played the victim's hand
And if you bump into the devil
Tell him I understand
Rather the devil you know
Than the devil you don't
I hope you can understand
I'm only human after all
I'm only human after all
I'm only human after all
I fell into the trap
I fell into her lap
I ate the apple of lust lust lust
the apple tree of lust
Richen, smidgen
Muddy, smutty
Who is your god?
I'm not the type to pray, except when I fall
I'm only human after all
I played the devil's advocate
I played into his hands
I played the fool, I played the fire
I played the victim's hand
And if you bump into the devil
Tell him I understand
Rather the devil you know
Than the devil you don't
I hope you can understand
I'm only human after all
I'm only human after all
I'm only human after all
I played the devil's advocate
I played into his hands
I played the fool, I played the fire
I played the victim's hand
And if you bump into the devil
Tell him I understand
Rather the devil you know
Than the devil you don't
I hope you can understand
I'm only human after all
I'm only human after all
I'm only human after all

Wish upon a falling star
the passion patrol
accept us for who we are
We've gone and lost control, oh no
The outline of miracle
required to be traced
eliminate the need for thrills
we all need to be saved today
And you are all beautiful
and you are all magical
deserve to be adored
deserve to be adored
The science of all of this
is a parodied poem
avoid it with swinging fists
Don't want to be alone, oh no
There's romance in bitterness,
say the borderline patrol,
differentiate happiness,
the borderline patrol
And you are all beautiful
and you are all magical
deserve to be adored
deserve to be adored
I tell you for free
this is just formula
this is just chemistry
None of this is real to me
And you are all beautiful
and you are all magical
deserve to be adored
deserve to be adored
Speak Your Mind
