Something About Being Woke

The word “Woke” in my mind is one of a call to action. Merriam-Webster defines it this way, “Aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice).” To me as a believer, it’s a call to action.

It’s a word with history for the African-American community to be vigilant against those who would do harm to their community. Unfortunately, the word has a negative connotation for some. For so many they have to be woke because it keeps them alive.

We all need to be woke these days. Lots of bad things are happening, and many people are experiencing pain for many reasons. In as much as I can be, I am woke, awake, and compassionate. I think good people should aspire to be what woke is in the best spirit of it all.

Poltergeist – Scary As Hell, Lots Of Intensity

I hadn’t seen Poltergeist ever. I have been a wimp for horror and scary stuff until recently. This film has intense action, corpses, and living people snatching to neither region beyond. This movie is the source code for shows like “Stranger Things”. Ultimately, the lesson of this movie is to be sure to move the bodies when you plan on building houses over a cemetery. Also, creepy stuff can happen when you least expect it. I am glad I have seen it now but man some of the action in this is hard to take. Steven Spielberg remains the greatest storyteller of my generation.

Leadership is action, not position.

Wednesday Wisdom: A Little More Action, Please #WednesdayWisdom

When you say you are a part of something people will believe you based on your actions. It’s my experience that people want to see less conversation and a little more in the doing part.

Doing what you say you will do matters and yes, I am not always good at doing that which is partially just being lazy and being imperfect. Like every other human I am a work in progress. Action is a good goal if you ask me.

However, we have it in us to do things that will draw people into our cause. Setting a good example and being a role model can bring more people to the table which can be oh so important.

Always be that person who strives to do their part and makes a change in the world. It will be amazing in how many people will be impacted hopefully for the better. A little more action, please.

Do What You Can Where You Are

I am doing what I can where I am. The key is to do something to make the world a better place in the days we are in. Action in any way or form is good for us all.

Thought Of The Day

Saying you will do your best rings hollow when you have a history of not showing up. Action does not require much time if that’s what you are worried about.
