Good morning my brothers & sisters!
Thinking maybe I’ll explain the name of this Blog. The Other 1439.
There are 1440 minutes in a day.
I hear people say “I’m having a bad day“ often. I’ve even said this myself in my younger defeatist days. Truth I wasn’t always a happy go lucky man. I used to be very dark especially with the way I would speak to myself. I felt like everything was hard and the world was against me. How incredibly naive I was.
I believe that the truth is that you are not having a bad day. But rather a bad minute that you let steal your focus away from all the good and positive things around you. And even though you have suffered a bad minute, there are 1439 remaining minutes or chances for greatness.
I began a astringent journey of self realization and personal inner growth while I was in prison. I was like every other convict in the world the first 6 months of my incarceration. I blamed every one and every thing except myself. Then a wonderful thing happened! I don’t even know what changed or how it happened.
I woke up and sat over the side of my rack and said out loud... “If I had not been doing this those guys couldn’t have told on me! I guess this really my own fault!” From that moment it was easy to be locked up because I understood that I deserved it. I made it my mission to get to know the demon that resides inside of me and learn to understand him, and finally keep him at bay.
I began structuring my days and set off on a strict path of self education.
