Are we both teachers and students in our personal lives?

This is a very special blog that pertains to the traditional roles that we portray in our lives as human beings. The primary question is we both teachers and students in our personal lives? Are we fulfilling both roles at the same time? The answer to this question is yes. Why? This is because as children we are born from the wombs of our mothers. Frankly, life begins inside of the womb as soon as conception takes place. It’s that when we emerge as human creatures from the womb of our parents; we go through a process of learning.

Next, a child learns a lot from his parents from guidance and direction that we receive from our parents growing up. This means that we are students first and foremost. This is because values are instilled from our parents on how to become good citizens of this country that we live. I would like to add that no matter how old we are in our lives, this means that we are still learning how to live as people inside of a changing environment. Although our parents have done their very best to properly give us the training that we need to become successful; it is that we are still students in life.

Further, as far as the role of the teacher is concerned, this role is fulfilled in our lives as people because we soon must learn how to give advice to others. Like the old saying goes; just pray each day!!!!!! As teachers of life, a person is supposed to give guidance, kindness, love, and respect towards mankind. This means leading another person in the right direction. If we cannot give this loving kindness and advice to others in need, then we must make adjustments in our personal lives ourselves. By doing so, we must have a power that is greater than your own self to help you.

Moreover, my life right now consists of giving good advice to others and putting things in perspective by staying positive. I do this by sharing what God has done for me so far in my life. In spite of all of my personal obstacles, I am able to give advice and assistance if necessary. This makes me a teacher and a student of life. This is simply because I am teaching someone else and learning from the next person. Learning is when one applies knowledge and digests it and processes it inside of the brain. It is ingested from what we see, hear, smell, touch, and taste through our five senses. The knowledge that applies here is from the information from others. It is information consisting of facts, data, numbers, and what is obtained through what is right in front of our own eyes.

In addition, learning is important because it enables humans to receive information that is beneficial and pertinent. Also, as far a being teachers and students of life are concerned, it is very important to gain as much information from others as possible. This enables us as humans to find out what character, values, morals, and habits that other human beings have inside of them. There are many answers to this important question.
First, we must learn how to analyze the character of others by spending time with them. This is called direct observation. Direct observation is when one spends time with another or a specific group and learn how each member behave inside of the group. Second, a person has to write down specific notes about a person or group to study their personal habits and behavior. The definition of human behavior is a behavior that is learned or applied through observation and applied by practice. Third, when a person’s character has a lot to do with actions from others and how they use these actions are used inside of a society or community at large.

Finally, the question is we both teachers and students in our personal lives? Yes!!!!! As human beings we are both teachers and students as long as we exist. As long as there is a planet earth, there are teachers and students in life and this is mankind. Mankind itself is the teachers and students simultaneously. This is a dual role that must be fulfilled in life as long as life, air, matter, water, mammals, and everything else exist.

My New Associations with God & the Saints

By

This is titled my new associations with God and the saints for a specific reason. It is simply because my new associations with God, Jesus Christ, and the Saints are very important to me. My salvation and your salvation came from Jerusalem, but first from Galilee. Jesus died victoriously for the world and for all of our sins. This means to me that I am a free man in Christ Jesus. Father, into my hands I command out my spirit. In 1 Corinthians 15:56-58 is emphasized because it pertains to the importance of salvation, death, and the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Thanks be to God for the victory in Jesus for saving mankind. Jesus died for me and everyone else so that we will earn a second chance at life. Always remember where God had brought you from.

We are here to do our Father’s will; Psalms 31:5. By his strips we are healed. The passion of the Christ was extremely graphic and it was a real depiction of the resurrection and life of Jesus Christ. A Steven Speilbush directed movie that had made a strong impact in the lives of many Americans. This is what Jesus went through. He was aware of God’s presence. He invoked God as His Lord and as His father. Father into my hands I command my spirit. He died confidently, victoriously, and violently.

New Associations with God, Jesus Christ, and the saints means to me that I am supposed to be around members of my church that I attend on a regular basis. I am supposed to feel connected with my new associations. These are believers of God and Jesus Christ. I love my church; which is Greater Allen AME Church in Dayton, Ohio. I love all of my church members. I also love the atmosphere as well as the church itself. The church itself at one time used to be a library a very long time ago. New associations to me are being around my fellow believers, family, friends, and around those who have the same love for Jesus as I do.

How confidently do we trust the scriptures in the old and New Testament in the Holy Bible? Try to ask God to have your word in your heart. Do not hide your words from my heart. Maintain your words inside of me Jesus always. The people that I am involved with are very happy and inspiring. My AA sponsor is a person who inspires me on a daily basis. He is like a father that I really did not have in my own life. He is a man of God. He encourages me each day to read God’s word and to remain positive. We need to learn how to speak the word of God to each other on a daily basis. We need to stop speaking of the world. The world has many challenges on a daily basis. We need to be available for one another in Christian love.

I will fight for my life each day for God and Jesus Christ. My new associations are people who love me for the person that I am. My new associations are encouraging, positive, respectful, constructive, and eager to tell me what is right and truthful. In my life today, I strive to stay positive each day. I like to say positive things each day. I am eliminating all of the things that are negative and ridding things from my past. I do this by closing the door on Satan. You can close the door on Satan by changing your way of thinking and avoiding people who are a negative influence. You can be healed through the things we say that are positive.

We all must start being accountable for your own words and actions. What comes out of your mouth reveals your personality, fear, sadness, depression, anxiety, and anger. Do not hang around people who are selfish and nonbelievers. I have noticed that most of my non-believing friends and enemies do not attend church. They say things to you to turn you away from God and His blessings from you. The enemies that I have right now are trying to overturn my positive confessions that I have for God and turn it into negativity. I stay busy for God and Jesus Christ by praying, fasting, loving others, doing for others, and reading my bible each day. I say busy blessing everything and thanking God for what I have each day. Scriptures of interest are as follows: 1 Corinthians 3:1, James 3:10, Deuteronomy 28:5-9, Psalms 100:4, 1 Thessalonians 5:18.

God’s intent of humility of our lives means that we are supposed to love one another and stop criticizing each other all of the time. When a person is judgmental and discontent, this means that his problems tend to be inside of himself. He shares his disagreements with others all of the time without trying to resolve them. I am a person that likes to get things done. My friends know that I am a person who gets things done. I know that I have been distracted lately with the illegal brain implant called synthetic telepathy. I know that I have been changing my way of thinking and doing things by reading the sword of the Spirit.

Human Relationships and Behavior

This is a report on the importance of human relationships and behavior. What do we really mean by having a human relationship? A human relationship is a form of communication that is verbal and nonverbal. It is verbal because it has a lot to do with the language that is expressed as well as the dialect that our language is derived. It is also a communication that is obtained from the things that we learn in our lives. Like they say, human behavior is learned. It is learned through methods of demonstration to the point that it becomes a form of practice for us. Nonverbally, our behavior itself comes from the gestures that are expressed with the use of mimetic muscles and extremities. Even though our gestures themselves might be used to send messages that are either positive or negative.

Next, how would a human relationship and what is being discussed here? It is very simple. For example, communication that is verbal and nonverbal as long as it is expressed in ways that are conducive to the environment is a way of for all human beings to make a positive impact. A human relationship is established when one person meets the other. As long as their positive feedback that is feasible for the other, then a human relationship is established. However, an official human relationship is established inside of the womb of an expecting mother. A specified bond is established that is forever lasting.

Further, as soon as the fetus itself has been expelled from the womb of the mother, initial contact is established. A sense of happiness arrives and expectations are extremely high among all members of the mother’s immediate family and others that are involved. This is a behavior when there is a life present. However, over a period of time, this bond itself is expanded from parent to parent. An average mother spends an entire lifetime keeping up with their children to the point that contact will never stop.

Moreover, how do we really learn how to have a human relationship? This is a very good question because it starts from the home of our parents. A form of telepathy is established here. This starts with a look, stare, or leer that comes from our parents that sends a specific message. This is bonding in itself because when our parents look at us and tell us how to behave and to allow a child a form of autonomy. A person is both a sender and receiver of telepathic messages that sends messages nonverbally. It is still communication in itself. This form of telepathy itself is a universal band of energy or an emotion that is derived from a source itself. This in itself has an affect on human behavior. It starts from a sense of conditioning that comes from how our behavior is shaped from person to person. This behavior itself is channeled from person to person based on physical, mental, emotional, psychological, and spiritual components. These components themselves are phases in our lives that has a great deal to do with activities, habits, and personality that will enhance our human development.

Good Day Everyone!  My name is Anthony Hopkins and I am responsible for enabling other people for more than a half of a century.  I remember when I was a child, I used to help others with their homework for school. 

I am getting very honest with myself and others about enabling behavior.  I have been clean and sober for 34 years now.  I rarely ask anyone else for help.

Next, I am letting all of you know that I am guilty of enabling other people.  What is the definition of enabling?  Enabling is when someone is doing something that other people can do for themselves.  At one point in my life, I was coerced by other people to do something for someone else.  The fair-weather friends that I had were using me.  My family members told me to my face that people were taking advantage of me.  At that time, I had concealed the person and the whole problem. 

 I have a fair-weather friend that still ask me to do things for him.  I didn’t know that this behavior was getting worse because I was always broken financially.

Further, I am sharing this information because I know that there are other people who are going through the same thing.  I know that certain people do not love me personally.  I have got my friend released from prison back in 2016.  He did not appreciate it.  I have done so much for other people that I am in need, and the same people who I have helped cannot help me in return. 

 I know that I am sharing all of this information to help others wake up and smell reality.  I am very sorry for allowing other people to take advantage of me.  It hurts me because I owe $ 32,000 dollars in student loan debt right now.  My mother told me to my face that I will see the error of all of my ways. 

 There are members in my family, who have not given me a dime to help me, but my nieces and nephews helped me and I am very grateful.

Moreover, I want to inform all of you that my neighbor’s at Wentworth Hi Rise Apartments have helped me when I couldn’t call my siblings.  My siblings helped me in the past.  My brother paid my rent for me. 

 My siblings want me to live with them, but I don’t want to caste all of my burdens on them.  I really need a job working somewhere just to pay my student loans and other bills.  I am sharing all of this just to let everyone know that my church members helped me out a lot.

  I am saying all of this information to learn how to help others who are in need.  My Pastor told me that I am an analytical thinker and I am an excellent Writer.

In Addition to the library and Church that I attend on a regular basis.  It’s that I am very sick physically mentally psychologically and spiritually drained. I am asking God to help me out with this drained problem.  Emotionally, I am losing my memory right now.  I have lapses in my memory right now. I am very happy to have a place to live for 13 years now.  I only wish that I can stop the marijuana smoking inside of the building.  My back is still hurting me.

Finally, I am telling all of you that enabling is a very serious problem.  I tell other people who enable others to please keep away from me.  I realize that I have Jesus Christ and God as my real friends.  I am very happy to help others but I will not allow other people to take advantage of me and my kindness.  I suffer from Diabetes Full Blown Type 2 and Alzheimer’s right now.

 My family members do not visit me anymore because of the bedbugs that are inside of the building where I live.  I can understand everyone is skeptical about me and my building where I choose to live.  I write because it helps me to cope with a mental illness.  I do spray alcohol inside of my apartment to prevent bedbugs from bothering me.  Enabling affects me and everyone else. 

 I cannot keep on doing things for people when they can do it for themselves.  I have some bad news to share with you.  The Social Security Administration is getting ready to terminate my benefits. 

 People who are under the age of 65 have to go back to work and make a decent living for themselves.  Social Security Administration specifically stated that I have written three books in 23 years.  They are saying that I have to report my income.  The US Government has given me a stimulus check and I used money to publish three books in 23 years now. 

 I love all of you, but this enabling problem is affecting me personally.  If someone knows how to use a computer, I will let you do your own work.  I am an Author of three books.  I have to copyright all of my most recent writing.  I love you all.  Please start using your phone for everything. 

 If I can apply for a job using my phone, then anyone else can do the same exact thing.  Enabling has caused a lot of people to become deprived of learning a brand-new skill.  Enabling does not give me power, it is transferring power to the other person.  Enabling leaves, you powerless, and you do not have to be in active addiction.  My fair-weather friend has used me so much that I am getting tired of being around him.

In Conclusion, I have learned a valuable lesson for doing things for other people, and you are not getting paid.  It also deprives you of money and learning new skills myself.

 Enabling is an addiction and it needs to stop.  Enabling causes other people to consume you with their stuff.  Anger resides inside of the heart of fools.  It defines our culture.  Enabling for me has made me out of a fool.

What does it mean to be me?
Good Morning Everyone!! How are all of you doing today? Fine, I hope. I want to inform everyone that I am doing fine at the moment. I am happy to be clean and sober right now. I am a person who has a lot of common sense. I am a person who is very intelligent, gifted, and a person who loves animals. I want to tell everyone that I am very happy today. I am happy that I have friends to confer with each day of the week. I am a person who has physical and mental problems right now. Some of my physical problems are as follows: Acid Reflux Disease, Glaucoma, Eczema, and Osteo Arthrits. My mental problems are as follows: Schizoid Affective Disorder, Bipolar 1, and PTSD. Next, I want to tell everyone that I graduated from the University of Toledo on Saturday June 12, 1993 and June 17, 1995. I earned a degree in Social Services Technology and Interdisciplinary Studies. I want to tell everyone that I am a very honest person. I am a person who has a lot of joy inside of my heart.
I want to inform everyone that I am a very pleasant person to be around, and a person who loves to use the computer. Perhaps, one day, I would like to purchase a computer of my own. I want for everyone to know that I am a very nice person to be around. I know that I have been doing a lot of writing as of late. It is that this is the only way I know how to cope with having a mental illness. There are those who have mental illness, and they are incarcerated at the moment. However, there are a lot of people with mental illnesses who are talented and highly educated.

Also, I want to let everyone know that I have 5 brothers and 2 sisters. I have a total of 42 neices and nephews. It is not very easy coming from a dysfunctional family. My siblings and I rarely talk to each other. I understand that my siblings have children of their own. It is that my brothers and sisters and I have been through a lot all of last year. My mother and sister died last year. I want to let each of you know that it has not been very easy losing your mother and sister within 48 days of each other. Therefore, I am still grieving over the deaths of my sister and mother. I am trying my very best to cope with all of this, but it is not easy.
Moreover, I want everyone to know that I am a person who is sensitive, kind, gentle, warm, understanding, and always eager to stay busy. I am losing my vision. I am the only one who is losing their eyesight in my family. I have an enlarged liver and heart as well. I am the type of person who tells the truth when it comes to myself. I know that my family members do not really talk to me because I have a mental illness. That is okay!! God has my back!! God is doing for me more than I am doing for myself. My mother and elders in my family as well as all of my cousins are my biggest encouragers. My nieces and nephews are encouragers as well. My family members are very concerned about me. It is that all of them have their own families.

In Addition, I want to inform everyone that my friends are very concerned about me right now. Some of my friends have been crying because I told them that I suffer from Glaucoma and a mental illness. I have been crying because I am going to lose my eyesight. It is not easy having vision problems every single day. God will take care of me!! I will not be able to attend my AA Meetings that much because I have health problems. I have signed up for an organization for people who are not able to attend AA Meetings for people who have physical and mental problems. I want to inform all of you that my medications make me very sleepy. I have to do what is right in the eyes of God.
Finally, I am eager to go to AA Meetings in the community. However, I am not feeling very well. I only wish that my family members can attend some of my AA Meetings with me. It is that, most of my family members are not interested. I am not feeling very well. I would like for all of you to please pray for me. I am writing my blogs in order to cope with a mental illness. I want to inform everyone that I am writing in order to sharpen up my writing skills. My typing speed has improved a whole lot since 2015. This was during the time that I was enrolled in an office management class. My typing speed has improved a whole lot. I am happy right now. My self-esteem has elevated a whole lot since last year. I am able to put things into perspective a lot easier than ever before. Thank you very much for reading my blog.

Sincerely,

Anthony Hopkins
