Rich-In-Character

Howdy folks! ♥

"Character rich, money poor
Trumps
Money rich, character poor."
~ Artsieladie Quote ♥

"Rich In Character"
(image pending)

Rich In Character is rich indeed
Without the fueling of evil's greed.
Rich In Character is quality traits
That, one's character, accentuates.

Being humble, honest, caring, and kind
Rewards one hosting a frame of mind
With having value and worth that affect
Positively their self esteem and respect. 

Having lots of money and what it buys
Will not reward one with the prize
Of character richness to be by others awed
For the lust of money makes one badly flawed.

When one relies on money for happiness,
They subject themselves to undue stress
And a state of contentment they'll never find,
Since the lust for more will control their mind.

One Rich In Character needs not money to be,
With importance placed more on integrity.
One Rich In Character values the most
What money can't buy, brag of or boast.

Hence, rich in money but character poor
Is not ever a goal one should aspire for.
While Rich In Character should always be
The goal to seek of virtue and integrity.

What good is money to store away in a bank,
If the one possessing is really a skank?
What good is money without virtues to measure,
Where money scores zero, nothing to treasure?

What good is money in regards to self worth?
Money has no bearing when we leave this earth.
Pockets full of money and earthly possessions
Mean tiddly-squat at Judgment's Confessions.

Money and possessions at the Golden Gate
Have no value with God, carry zero weight.
A pauper with a heart that's humble and kind,
Selfless and honest, in Heaven we'll find.

But those rich with money and all it buys,
Driven by ego, lust, deceit, and lies,
Cannot enter through Heaven's Golden Gates.
In the fires of hell for them, satan awaits.

When we lust for money and all it buys,
Our richness in character we compromise.
But when we strive for virtue and integrity,
Then richness in character we guarantee.

True self worth, esteem, and respectfulness
Comes not from money as one's objectiveness,
But only from values and quality traits
That only one Rich In Character cultivates.

💗 Have a blessed day! ðŸ’—

Whistleblowers

Howdy folks! ♥

Only a person or persons who know they are doing something they shouldn't be, will have a problem with one who learns of and tells the truth. Such guilty individuals will then do all they can to smear and discredit the one who can expose them. Just this factor alone will make their guilt more obvious in spite of their intention being to hide and cover up their guilt.  ♥

"Whistleblowers"
This image came from www.stickpng.com

http://www.stickpng.com/img/objects/whistles/guy-blowing-whistle

When a person's caught with wrong they're doing
And another comes forward with the truth a brewing,
Damage control's immediate, put into play
By the wrongdoer especially, which is to say
All they can to smear, discredit, and condemn, 
Anyone who threatens with the truth, exposing them.

For if they can the masses, persuade,
Not to listen, their attention left unpaid,
Their deep, dark secrets will remain obscure
And so, from the people, wrong kept secure.

Whisteblowers are silenced in more ways than one
To keep the truth hidden about wrong being done.
Whistleblowers are brave to set aside their fear
And come forward with truth people need to hear.

It is a thankless mission, bringing the truth out,
When many have bought the lies. So, it's truth they doubt.
But truth is very hard to hear, when there's been betrayal,
Built around deceptive lies, makes truth seem like a fail.

Truth is only ugly and very hard to swallow,
When it has been hidden for lies to follow.
The uglier the truth becomes the longer it is hidden,
As the lies mount in number to keep it forbidden.

Wrongdoers seek out followers who are accepting of their lies
And the more they can manipulate, the better their disguise.
So, when the truth's exposed, there's many in opposition,
Unwittingly the followers defend a wrongful position.

Many remain silent for fear of being severely ostracized,
Not by the wrongdoer only but the many patronized.
Even when the truth is proven, spelled out in black and white,
Manipulated people will still against the truth, fight.

I know this to be true, as I've experienced first hand
What it's like to be ostracized, condemned, even banned
For bringing forth the truth, with proof I exposed
And people defended him and my truth, they opposed.

I've been called every derogatory name and label
For exposing lies and cover-ups to dismantle and disable.
But the wrong was not addressed, and when I defended
The truth and myself, vicious attacks against me were extended.

Then comes into play too, sometimes, two doing wrong,
And to keep each other's secrets a must comes along.
To scratch each other's backs, they make themselves a deal,
Neither will on the other tell or on the other squeal.

The numbers then of those manipulated with lies
Greatly increases to a number double size.
The whistleblower's treated like they're doing wrongs
And accountability's never placed where it belongs.

So, he carries on still, invading my privacy
Hacking into tech devices like he has the right to be.
It's only one, but a prime example, of the state we're in,
Where a wrongful deed's okay, but a rightful deed's a sin.

Intimidation and fear are the wrongdoers' tools
And they work well with both the intelligent and the fools.
Manipulation's key among and to win the smarter crowd,
For the rest will then follow once seen by others, is allowed.

Changes for the better are impossible to make
As long as false is seen as true and true is seen as fake.
Whistleblowers, unlike attention seekers, are a rare breed
And the fore not the latter is more of who we need.

Whistleblowers risk much and are noble souls, indeed,
Knowing the truth they expose, few will ever heed.
Then knowing too, they'll be plagued with unjust scrutiny,
More appreciative of their efforts everyone should be.

Keeping-Ones-Word

Howdy folks! ♥

VERY, VERY few people actually keep their word. Hence, the same goes for being able to absolutely trust as well. If a person can't or doesn't keep their word, they cannot be completely trusted either. Elementary!

Trust has two phases. First, one has to trust another with something and then second, watch and listen carefully as to how another treats what they were trusted with. It's in how the other person regards what they were trusted with that tells the tale of whether or not they are a trustworthy individual. I've learned well to 'test the waters' first with something minor or with something I won't care if it gets around and sometimes even with something I want to get around. The results have been VERY few people pass the test with almost everyone I've tested flunking out bigtime. Needless to say, those tested and flunked, I don't ever then place any trust in them again. "Burn me once, shame on you; burn me twice, shame on me!" 
♥

"Keeping One's Word"
(image pending)

Keeping One's Word is a rare find today,
Since VERY few follow, do what they say.
Words are so easy to dispense and spew,
But require investment to follow them through.

When in confidence to someone you speak,
Can you really be sure, they will not leak
Anything said in private to another soul;
Can they really be trusted to be not a mole?

VERY few can be believed, trusted this much,
And in your absence, when you're out of touch,
They'll tell another what they swore they would not
And it's not because they simply forgot.

So many times I've heard the same ol' line,
"It's between you and I; don't worry, it's fine",
Only to discover eventually and learn,
What was said in private did come back, return.

How many will promise there's something they'll do,
But then forget what they said and don't follow through?
Then when you ask them about doing what they said,
They react with belligerence to fault you instead.

VERY few people actually will ever keep their word
And when they renege, they'll claim you've misheard.
If you then prove to them what in fact they said,
Don't expect apologies, just insults instead.

Keeping One's Word is indeed, a VERY rare trait
That only a character of excellence will cultivate.
One who does not can never be trusted completely,
If they place no value on behaving discreetly.

University-Of-Life

Howdy folks! ♥

"The best teacher in life, IS life."
~ Artsieladie Quote 
♥

"University Of Life"
(image pending)

From the school of Hard Knocks, Life's University;
A student of progressive learning, a grad to never be.
For this course of study, there is not an end,
Until my time is up with hope to Heaven, I'll ascend.

With a multitude of lessons of varying degrees;
Some very complicated, some through, I can breeze.
Then there are those that I must keep repeating
Until the lesson's learned. Life forbids cheating.

The most valuable lessons though, if them, I'm to land,
Come mainly through and by experience, only first hand.
These lessons can be the toughest when I'm badly burned,
But once made through, these lessons never are unlearned.

Always a 'work in progress' with a goal that is set
To build on, improve myself, and lest I should forget,
Life will remind me, use my conscience purposely to gain
My attention unpleasantly until back on track again.

With the University Of Life, there's attendance every day,
Since Life takes no vacations and grants no vacation pay.
Classes are in session always, seven days a week.
Tardiness is frowned upon for anyone who will seek.

As with any learning, Life works best with a willing student,
If one is to evolve, gain wisdom, be humble along with prudent.
The levels we achieve in Life in our character, reflects,
Based on what we've earned not what our ego's pride projects.

There are no report cards for there is no need,
Since Life rewards in accordance with, per every deed.
All progressive students learn at different rates,
Learn different lessons in accordance with their fates.

Since every student has a uniquely different course,
With lessons in different order from a different source,
Each student in their learning is where they need to be,
Learning lessons some have learned; others yet to see.

A progressive student learns Life brings surprises,
Some good, some bad, and some hidden in disguises
And Life is ever changing to keep us on our toes,
Encountering the flower OR the thorns of the rose.

In the learning process, Life teaches what to value most;
What to cultivate within us; what type of pride to host.
For an eager student who desires to achieve integrity,
Life has special challenges to be met but not easily.

Life's lessons may be hard, some horrible to bear,
But all in all we come through better for the wear.
For each lesson that we learn, more strength we achieve,
More courage we obtain, we can rely on and believe.

Somewhere along the way we learn about perspective
And which priorities should be in our main objective.
Priorities in Life are essential if we are to spare
Ourselves from the grief of regret, burdensome to bear.

But Life is not all work with never any play.
In between and during lessons, Life finds a way
To bring us joy and happiness, in abundance we can reap,
With peace in our hearts we can hold onto and keep.

With Life's lessons that we learn and if we learn them well,
All the precious gifts of, number more than I can ever tell.
But all that's good and beautiful can't be truly appreciated,
Without some bad and ugly for comparison, well illustrated.

Although there are no diplomas, there is great reward,
When for my character, integrity I've earned and scored,
Gaining self worth, esteem, confidence, and discipline,
All combined with humility, is most definitely a win.

So, yes, I am a student of the University Of Life,
The school of Hard Knocks with lots of stress and strife.
But I would not trade this for all of China's tea,
Because all the lessons learned have made a wiser, better me!

And yes, I am still enrolled for work on me's not done.
I'll be a 'work in progress' until my last setting sun.
In progressive learning I've yet to learn many lessons still
And if I'm a humble, willing student, somehow I know I will.

BE bold enough without insulting,
To make for yourself the choice,
To speak out against the wrongs
And for good, to use your voice.

BE brave enough, with honesty,
To listen and to follow your heart,
To BE yourself the best, BE real,
And project your truest part.

BE strong enough to BE humble
To acknowledge your mistakes,
To set aside your ego and pride,
Knowing integrity this makes.

BE confident enough to BE caring
Without for thyself in mind,
To BE compassionate with others,
Understanding and BE kind.

BE courageous enough to live your life,
As you imagine, in your dreams create,
Always with gratitude in your heart,
Allow your passions to motivate.

Awesomeness

Howdy folks! ♥

"A person who is awesome, their character will display,
But with their humbleness, won't see themselves this way."
~ Artsieladie Quote ♥

"Awesomeness"
Quote/art by Artsieladie

Be the best of who you can be; 
Be the best of who you are.
Awesome then you shall be
And you'll shine like a star!

If you fill your heart with Love, 
For hate, there'll be no space!
Your Light will brightly shine, 
Like a beacon every place!

There'll be no need to say,
To, your Awesomeness, impress,
For a character of excellence
Will immeasurably express.

Remember, words are empty vessels
Without actions of, supporting.
If you feel the need to say,
Then, in doubt of, you are courting.

An outward appearance of beauty
Does not awesome, generate.
Only if there's beauty within
Can Awesomeness radiate.

With the presenting of oneself,
It's one's character that reflects
And shows so clearly what one
Is accepting of or one rejects.

So, when someone feels compelled
To brag about themselves and boast,
They know their character is lacking
And need convincing of the most.

Since ego boasts and brags,
Plays a deceptive role,
One must be humble to,
Of their ego, keep control.

A person who cultivates integrity,
From others needs no validation;
Feels no need to prove themselves
Nor of, make a declaration.

Those who are most awesome
Portray not themselves as fakes;
Know real comes with flaws
And inevitably, mistakes.

Hence, one's Awesomeness speaks,
Not through spoken words though,
But through character of excellence
And in volumes, it will show.

Shopping-List

Howdy folks ♥

It seems so many traits that make up good character in a person are becoming visible less and less. The aspects that make up what beautifies the human spirit, the human soul, are becoming out of style, obsolete. Love has so many wonderful components and it's these components that must be present to nurture and nourish the Love we all have within us. Either we choose to nurture them or we starve them. If we nurture, we shine as a result. If we choose to starve them, we then become prime candidates for darkness to consume us and with the darkness comes all the opposites of Love, the negatives on the side of hatred. We are given 'free will' to choose for ourselves which we will pursue, Love and Light -or- Hate and Darkness. I choose "Love and Light".

Kathy Mantei, a dear friend of mine's status (2014-05-03), inspired me to write this poem and place it in a work of art as well:

"See ya after while, Crocodiles! :) Me and Momma are off to shop at Sam's Club! If ya need anything leave me your list! :-D"

Hence.. my list... ♥

"Shopping List"

Sister Kathy's going shopping and she's asked me for my list,
Needing LOTS of help, so I could not her, resist...

I have a shopping list not too very long,
But the items listed must be sadly wrong.
My list was made awhile ago, still incomplete,
For it seems I'm shopping for things obsolete,
Or at the least rare, very scarce to uncover,
No longer cultivated, to find, to discover.

At the very top is Love, which should be everywhere,
But not so easy is it to find, leaving me in despair.
I can find ego alright, aplenty all around,
But humility? ..So little to be found.
There's apathy and indifference, an abundant supply,
But finding empathy and compassion, the well's gone dry.
Everywhere I turn, there's justification freely spread,
Yet, no accountability found, as others are on, tread.

Truth and honesty are on my list, second from the top,
It seems though, they're out of stock every place I shop.
While lying and deceitfulness are generously promoted,
Handed out like candy, so sweetly, sugar coated.
Honour and respect have become out of season.
Patience and acceptance have lost all their reason.
Gratitude and thankfulness left with news of yesterday;
Now everything is about 'me' the headlines read and say.

Other things I've listed like kindness, hope, and caring,
Compassion and forgiveness, not many up for sharing.
Understanding's not in style, a fad of yesterday,
Passing judgement onto others now on display.
Modesty and privacy, their contracts have run out,
With ostentatious behaviour flaunted all about.
Consideration for others, indefinitely placed on ice,
Manners and politeness gone, along with friendly, nice.

All the many values to build character needed, 
Integrity and virtue, all practically depleted.
Principles and convictions, rocks on which to stand,
Have all but washed away, leaving only shifting sand.

I made my list awhile ago but without much success,
For all the shopping done has caused me great distress.
Even words I'm shopping for can't be found with ease,
Like, "I'm sorry" or "Thank you" or the one, "Please".
I never thought my list to be so arduous a task,
Until I went shopping and then I had to ask,
For items I thought to be to all near and dearly,
Their scarcity alarms me, saddens me severely.

Up and down I've searched, aisle after aisle,
A rarity indeed should I see a happy smile.
I enter every store, every shopping mart, 
Hoping just to fill my empty shopping cart.
I am lucky if I can find just one or two or three
Of the items I've been searching for in every shopping spree.
But the saddest thing of all on my list, at the very top,
Is that genuine Love is hard to find no matter where I shop.

What's so really sad you ask about Love in short supply?
Because Love is within all of us, but still we shun it. Why?
It does seem my shopping list is much longer than I thought,
But surely ‘twould be nice to find everything I’ve sought.
It is my wish one day to find abundantly all of the above,
And shining in everyone’s hearts the item we know as Love.

Character-Cracks

Greetings everyone, from Artsieladie! ♥

"Character Cracks"
Poem/art by Artsieladie

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFT8MOHwvs7ogl6s8gj3DgVprsvt0VFIld3WwVBYzveJ-4_yiFFmovIfSsrc0ApRRekaKwJpY88-15jI20QnLNamaodBlk0w1lVxe39URT-KPNwkZyfMwpRFbR1eWyDDiz0VcLhdm-BYo/s1202/CharacterCracksPoemByArtsieladie2015-09-17_1200x1202.png

When we make amends, we close and seal cracks,
Keep our footing solid as we forward make tracks.
On our pathway of life, we stay on solid ground,
If we walk in humbleness, always Truth bound.


When we allow our differences left without resolution,
Cracks begin to form in our character's constitution.
True peace can't be had or felt within our hearts,
If we're burdened with the stress of many cracked parts.


So fix those Character Cracks before they're too big to fill.
Remember there's a way always if there is a will
To work things out amicably with the ego left excluded,
While honesty and compassion with Love are included.


But if you try to resolve issues with a humble heart and mind,
And the other person chooses to be unyielding and unkind,
You'll be the bigger person left with no crack in your heart,
While the other person will retain a cracked and broken part.
