ASSUMPTION
An assumption is a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof. There are strong assumptions and weak ones. The stronger assumption is one that assumes a lot. It it farther away from reality whereas a weak assumption closely represents reality. A weaker assumption is more in tune with the majority of individuals because it takes less effort and explanation. In my previous article titled, "Jay's Song," I had a very strong assumption that my first born daughter was going to be born on Valentine's Day. I was ridiculed openly by some because in order for that to happen there were many things or conditions that had to occur. I constantly had to explain my assumption. A weak assumption on the other hand needs no explaining. It can be something like getting in your vehicle in the morning with the assumption that the vehicle will start. One common assumption, and there are many that individuals make, consciously or subconsciously is that we will wake up in the morning. We don't think about the possibility of not waking up in the morning. We just take it for granted that we will wake up. Most individuals live taking life for granted. We don't really think about how precious life is. We just assume life will be there, being and doing what life does. As I live, I have learned to take metaphorical breaths at different times of my daily life to just look around and be grateful. Sometimes I'll do this when I'm at the grocery store. Sometimes when I'm at the gym. Sometimes when I'm performing my duties in court and playing my part as an attorney. Sometimes I'll do this when I'm walking my dog. Sometimes I'll do this when I'm driving etc...The way I see it, assumptions can be productive or a waste of time and energy. Used in a positive way it can elevate your energy level and stimulate the powers to be to get you closer to manifesting your desires. Used in a negative way it can be a way to not accept responsibility for your life and to miss your entire life plan. I also believe there is a relationship between assumptions and age. I believe the younger a person, they tend to be more inclined to use the power of assumption in a negative way whereas an older person may use assumption in a positive way.
My son who is a junior in college is a living example of what I mean. About a week prior to this writing, on a Saturday night he was at a party with his college friends when a traumatic, life changing incident occurred. Before I describe the incident I feel compelled to describe my son. He is an A student. He works two jobs to earn his own money. He travels and loves life. He has amazing friends. He has really never been in trouble. He has always made smart and wise decisions. He personifies, in a positive way the adage, that "you are the type of friends you attract." I am very proud of him and needless to say that I love him and the rest of my children dearly. So as aforementioned, my son was with his dear friend when he was violently murdered within a few feet of my son. My son told me of all the aspirations and dreams they were planning on doing together once they graduated. One thing that stood out to me was that my son told me how precious life is and how things can be taken away so easily and quickly. Even though, I am grateful that my son is alive, the pain in my heart for his best friend and his family is at times overwhelming. It makes what I described earlier about taking time to look around and just be grateful more important. I hope that after reading this article that you will take the time to look around and be grateful for everything you have from family, to your health to the fact that you read this article etc... Don't assume your life will be the same tomorrow as it is today. Give your loved ones a hug and a kiss after you are done reading this article. And, if they are far away, call them and tell them how much you love them and how grateful you are to have them in your life. I leave you with the following quote, "Don't take life for granted. No matter how much they love you, people get tired eventually. We are all given chances, but you never know when the last chance may be." Author unknown.
Just a thought.
