Saturday Black Session Week 1

Being Clouded

Being clouded is fake.  It's not real.  You think you can make progress, and you may be able to for a brief season, but just as the seasons end, so does your progress.  You actually regress.  The world continues to move forward, and you just become stuck in a whirlwind that you can't get out of.When you are clouded, problems that arise in your life are handled differently than they would have been, had you been clear.  We as human beings aren't supposed to enjoy every waking moment of every single day.  We have to be able to experience sadness and stress. We have to be able to overcome the adversity in our lives without running to the cloud change.When you have been clouded for a long time, it becomes hard to see clear again.  It's not as easy as you thought it was going to be.  Those problems you were facing while clouded, now become a reality and you realize that you aren't mature enough mentally to handle them.  You have regressed, and the world has continued to moved forward.  People your same age who went the clear route- dealing with their problems the right way, are long gone and have passed you by.This doesn't mean we quit, and accept this reality.  We start working tirelessly to make progress in our lives.  Little by little, day by day we work on making positive changes. We look to grow in a different direction.  Patiently and Humbly we exercise faith and hope that good things will occur if we are striving to do the right things.  When we screw up or have a set back, we get back on it the next day, determined to get back on the right path, the path we have found light on, and know to be right.-Dustin Hawkins
