You do know that the Classics never Die!

 Did I turn out to be just like my parents?  I can remember growing up and listening to our music and my parents just rolling their eyes. Today I listen to some of the songs on the radio, and I roll my eyes.  It's not that I don't like it, I'm just unfamiliar with it.  I long for the days of my music, the classics so to speak.  Now mind you, the classics are gong to be different for each generation, as each generation had their own thing.  The point of all this is that I want you to reflect today on a few classics.  These classics matter not what generation you grew up in, or even if your generation is in the here and now.  When I speak of classics I am speaking of certain truths, that when grasped, lived, and believed will change the way we do things, see things, and help us become what we are supposed to be.

So what is a classic, and why should we hold fast to the original as long as we can?  A classic is timeless, it is something that shouldn't be changed.  As many people say if it was good enough for mom and dad it's good enough for me.  If you look at certain artist today they will do a cover or remake of an older song.  There will be some differences in how they do it, but at its core it is the same song.  Take for instance Dolly Parton's "I will always love you."  A big hit for her, but when Whitney Houston did the remake for the movie "The Bodyguard", we all know what it meant for the song.  When we look at some classic truths as it pertains to living, there may be some differences from its origination, but at its core the idea is the same, and the need for these truths will never change.  I've written about these truths in the past, but there's something that is prompting me to write about them again this morning, so here we go.

You are perfection, created from perfection, and brought to this time out of complete and total love.  This perfection and love is all that is, and all that will ever be.  In your design, in your makeup is the real you.  We all go through different things in life, and these happenings have a way of changing how we see ourself, but how we see ourselves should never alter our understanding of our perfection.  I walk around at times and look at people, and I try to get into their minds and figure out what they are thinking in the moment.  Are they aware of their perfection?  Do they realize the power they have, and do they understand just how significant they are?  Sadly there are countless people who can't see this, and quite frankly are so beaten down with the cares of this world, that there could never be an end to their misery.  This is a very sad state of affairs, but it is also one that can be changed simply by going back to the basics, or should I say the classics.

There are tons of people who will always ask why certain things happen all the time, why this catastrophe, why this pitfall, why, why, why.  Well if you're going to ask a question when sorrow comes, shouldn't you also be asking questions when goodness follows you? You can't tell me that your entire life has been nothing but sorrow.  There has to have been a time when you experienced joy, happiness, and love.  I get that there are those who have had a hard life, but that life has not been void of goodness completely.  Certainly some refuse to look at the goodness, as walking around in a funk is their chosen path, but in reality, there is goodness if they look deep enough.  When goodness is fast approaching you, maybe you should be asking how do you keep it.  

Another classic truth that many seem to forget, or maybe I should say are unable to accept is that you as a created being were created to create.  You were put here to change humanity.  You were never intended to simply come along for the ride, but rather lead others into their destiny.  Just for a moment think about the world we live in.  There is turmoil almost everywhere you look.  Where does this turmoil come from?  Do you really think that we were created simply to go through hell each and every day of our life?  Folks, it's time that you start realizing that we have been sold a bill of goods in regards to what is normal, and what is not.  The old adage is this, "If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got."  It's time to change things up a bit, and finally begin living the way you were intended to live.  If you will grasp some of the classics, if you will begin to live the classics, then and only then will you be able to move forward.  

I can remember chaperoning a field trip for my daughter many years ago, and there was a dance.  The DJ was playing all the songs of the day, but then came the classic "YMCA". These kids thought it was such a great song not even realizing that it was almost thirty years old at the time.  How could something this new be so old they thought?  Well the classics may be old, but they are just as alive today as they were yesterday.  The classics may be wrapped up with different titles, different packaging, but they are no different today than when they were first instituted.  

So what classics are important today?  To be honest, all of them.  You do not have to fall prey to the previous conditioning of man.  You don't have to think that you are incapable of having your dreams come true. Your are an eternal being who has no beginning and no end.  You have always been and will always be.  You need to understand that no matter what has happened in the past, no matter what will happen in the future, you are never going to change who you are, or the fact that you divine.  I know that some will not be able to grasp these classic beliefs, but they are as real as real gets.  

The classics are classics because they are the best of the best.  You, believe it or not, are the best of the best.  If I could flip a switch and instantaneously you could realize the significance of your existence I would do that.  We all battle certain things each day, but that battle should never be the reason you forget who and what you really are.  You are a classic.  Classics never grow old, never fade, and they never ever diminish in importance.  This perfectly describes who you are.  Never forget, never give up, and never doubt that your being here is what is needed right now.  Change humanity, change the world.
