My Journey to Stardom: Day 578 "My Purpose"

"My Journey to Stardom" : Day 578 "My Purpose"

by Brandalyn N Gill on Sunday, July 3, 2011 at 4:44pm
I HAVE BEEN CHOSEN; God gave me these gifts and I, in turn, CHOSE MYSELF not to harbor them but to use them for the greater good of society, my generation, people I have never met - to improve the well-being of many lives of people that I may never know personally. I am here to positively impact all that I can and allow God to use me to build an army of positivy against this negative, evil world. This mission is not for society to understand right now, maybe not until long after I am gone, but I can't stop and I will not stop...My generations spends half of their day watching television, texting, playing on Facebook Skype and Twitter, and checking emails about more nonsense and have no idea that they can be future business leaders and presidents...My generation exemplifies the show "16 and pregnant" because it is socially acceptable to not only lose your virginity before marriage but to flaunt your promiscuity and employ more than one sexual partner at one time..My generation lives at home with their parents until they are well into their twenties because they are afraid of the world around them - or better yet, drastically unprepared because babies are raising babies these days and parents cannot teach their children adequately because they are lost themselves...My generation can barely write a suitable English paper, even in their junior year in college because we have adapted to what we call "text language" and spell there as "der" and you as "u", to as "2" and probably as "prolly"....50% of my generation (and this country) cannot recognize the United States on the map of the world, and yet they dwell here and the United States is the most abnormal country on the map of the world....My generation abuses the opportunities they are granted by spending money they do not have on things that can perish tomorrow and investing countless hours of their time into things that will not benefit them or anyone else, ever (such as MacBook's and IPod's)....My generation does not stop and say hello to complete strangers anymore or say "excuse me" to someone they bump into on the street because they are so accustomed to others doing the same...My generation is greedy and selfish and would rather do for themselves and advance their own desires while they watch other suffer, directly and inadvertently because of their crazed need for instantaneous gratification...and I am here to change that...

I want to start a reading and writing institution that will be international to teach underprivileged children who never were granted to opportunity and FUNDING to read and write on their actual grade level and that will give privileged kids who have the opportunities but abuse them, the opportunity to REEDEEM themselves. I want to write, produce, and act in films that will minister to the minds of millions on a spiritual level and feed their souls, granting them encouragement and life lessons that are not dowloadable via THE APPLE STORE. I want start a scholarship foundation that will give children the opportunity to go to school in America or wherever, because they are the first in their family to even want to do so, or because their country or "hood" does not offer those opportunities or they haven't been taught to want to do so. I want to bring joy back to people's eyes when the word "book" is mentioned because they know the written word is food-for-thought and that written words are basically God's words manifested through the minds of his children. I want to buy mansions that will house the starving children that exist right in here in America, because we so often forget that a vast percentage of this country's wealth is divided amongst the top 5 percentile of the most wealthy people who reside here - people, who unlike me, want to be richer and keep getting richer to pass the riches to their own blood line and leave the rest of us to starve, because after we secure a mortgage payment, car payment, and light bill for our average house of four, we can barely afford to split the McDonald's meals that we eat at least twice a week.

So, I apologize if I sometimes seem UNRELATABLE when I prance around with a smile even on my worst days to keep my head up for every child in the hood that has it far worse and WISHES they could be in my position of positivity through God. I APOLOGIZE if I seem cocky because I am THANKFUL and confident in the talents and gifts that God has blessed me with, because I see what he has in store for me to do for others and have overcome my self-esteem issues for the sake of all the little girls I haven't even met yet who are counting on me to do so.  I AM SORRY IF you used to be my friend or boyfriend or guyfriend or family member and you were cleansed from my life for the drama and the trivial issues you were being used by the devil to put in my way to keep me from doing the GREATER THING that is WAY BIGGER than you or me, or rent I couldn't make on my own, or books that I am struggling to sell, or hatred and jealousy and strife others are throwing into my life JUST BECAUSE I AM ME AND POSITIVE AND GOOD, or all those that constantly lie to me and take my kindness for weakness and laugh when I cry behind closed doors and beg God to deliver me from these wretched hurtful callous people of this sick and twisted negative world – people that don’t even know that when I cry in church and behind closed doors  I am crying for them because they don’t even know how bad they are ! I APOLOGIZE, that my purpose is so much bigger than that and that you got left behind because I have to keep going for all those lives I plan to touch before I leave this earth, all of those children of God that I want to help....I know my purpose. Find yours.

I can't stop, I won't be stopped. So to you I say, I will pray that you find your purpose and learn that I am here for the greater good, so stop trying to steal mine...

My Journey To Stardom: Day 486 "JEALOUSY AND SUCCESS"

Hello my fellow people,
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day, because I am about to step on some toes, most likely. Please do not be offended by the words you are about to read, but if you are, you are probably one of the people I am about to describe.
I am so exhausted with those people of our population who daily subject themselves to JEALOUSY. Let me tell you all reading this what jealousy is by definition: jealous resentment against a rival, a person enjoying success or advantage, etc., or against another's success or advantage itself. By my definition, jealousy is a flesh and spirit devouring sickness that is a pathetic, slothful, and depressing excuse for laziness. Do you know how much energy it takes to envy and be jealous of someone else because they have something you want? How can you focus on you and your goals if you are too busy being jealous of others because of what they are accomplishing and who they are?  How could you be so ungrateful to God for perfectly and masterfully crafting you to be who you are by envying someone else? Why don’t you ADMIRE THAT PERSON, LEARN FROM THAT PERSON, AND ASPIRE TO BE LIKE THAT PERSON! I understand why; because jealousy is lack of knowledge as well. Lack of understanding for how to acquire success. Look around and you will quickly acknowledge that those who are jealous are not implementing drive and ambition in their lives  - of course they are not – because they are using that drive and ambition to hate you! Like I said, pitiful excuse for slothfulness.
To everyone who has caught themselves slipping and devoting an ounce of energy to hating  someone else for being who they are, appreciating the person God crafted them to be, and working daily to maintain and grow who they are, dust yourself off and get back to what is real, what is worth your energy – improving THYSELF. Jealousy is a sickness, get well.

My Journey to Stardom : Day 398 "2011"

Goodmorning, everyone and Happy New Year.

                Am I the only one who feels that 2010 sped by faster than a bamboozling swift freight train to Paris? Where did 2010 go!

                I don’t know about you guys, but 2010 was an eventful and teachable year for me – full of lessons, lessons, lessons.  There was little heart ache, much stress, many life changing events, and a PLETHORA of God’s teachings. I know that sometimes I moved too fast LAST year (can’t believe I am being forced to say LAST year – just a few days ago it was THIS year) and other times, I might have moved too slowly; I know that sometimes I did not listen to God and follow what he might have wanted me to do at the moment, only to unknowingly dishevel the mysterious plan he had for me. Hahaha! Am I the only one?

                You know, sometimes, I feel that we all just get so carried away and occupied with believing that we are super human or intelligent or strong enough or swift enough to meander through life without listening to the spirit that got uses to communicate with us or the  angels he meticulously places in our paths to guide us in the directions we may or may not need to go. I know my hyper behind moved too fast and was stubborn and was ignorant many times last year. I do feel that I, in the end, accomplished the things that God set for me to accomplish last year, but I know I migrated off course, on a few occasions. But, I guess, we live and we learn, right?.....

                Overall, 2010 was a good year for me? I worked so hard and accomplished so many things so quickly that that was just the speed that the year disappeared. I had such a crazy holiday season and New Year’s that I had not time to even ponder on New Year’s resolutions, my annual regimen. …. I just know that I do want to continue to build my business, continue to encourage and inspire others, continue to do God’s work, continue to grow and LEARN from mistakes I made even “LAST” year , continue to trust in God and the angels he has placed in my life to assist me. But, I have a personal assistant now; I am working to get by debut book “Life” on Amazon. I started U of H last year. I got into the Entrepreneurship program as I have wanted since I was ten years old. I moved into my own apartment. I partook in my first television interview. I published a book and hosted my own book release party. I met many smiling faces and learned just as quickly I didn’t need them and they only had one desire – to distract me. God sent me many mentors and removed from my life many people, once again. I stumbled much and overcame even more. I worked hard, I played hard; I played too hard and learned lessons there too. And I guess, I must have listened when I needed to, because I still progress.

                I need to further His work and never be discouraged by any of those who are derailing this mission – no matter who they are. I must forgive those who have wronged me and hope that those I have hurt or wronged will find it in their hearts to forgive me. I must move on past the mistakes of last year. I look at each year as a new beginning – a granted opportunity for atonement with thyself, another opportunity to LIVE THIS LIFE ….better than you did the year before.

               To all of you who were there for me last year, even at times, I was not fully there for myself or them, I love you; you know who you are.

                I know it has been a while, everyone, but let me tell you something: listen to the spirit and please, live, laugh, and learn.  Forgive, but never forget. Love, but try not to hurt because of it. And only put your guards down for long enough to release who or what you are fighting against. The journey continues….
