The Northern 📍

  Is This The End?      At least, is this what it feels like? Has all this technology, all these black screens- have they simply shown us the inevitable future of mankind?        Sometimes, I feel like the destruction of our civilization is inevitable. I don’t think I feel alone in that sentiment, either. Have we as humans not always sought new ways to wreak havoc upon our own kind? Have we, as mad as we are, always sought new ways to rule over the ashes? The more things change, the more they stay the same, it seems. ✶      Humanity has always been doomed. Since the moment we discovered the wheel and planted our first crops. From harnessing fire, to building houses. The inevitable downfall has always been present, lingering in the shadows. Like a wolf, slowly stalking its prey. One can only continue forward so far, before eventually coming face-to-face with the beast.      Perhaps thats the secret, that’s been guarded...

  If You Knew You Couldn’t Lose- What Would You Do?      Seriously, think about it. If you knew you couldn’t lose- what would you do?      Would you run to the casino and gamble away until you couldn’t carry any more chips? Would you pick up a sport you loved as a child, and become the greatest to ever play? Or would you simply approach that girl, you’ve been obsessed with for years, and finally make her your wife?      The question is thought-provoking, to say the least. The idea of being able to accomplish all that you wish, is something greater than winning the lottery. A feeling of invincibility, giving you the confidence to move in a way you’ve never experienced before.      Yet here we stand, lost in thought, afraid to make a mistake. Here we sit, waiting for life to happen to us, instead of going on and making it. Here we lie, day-dreaming about a million outcomes which will never show their face.    ...

  Purpose.      A man in his purpose is worth 100 men who are not. A man who sees with his mind the exact reason for his existence will always outperform and outpace those who simply drift around, begging for existence. The reality is, purpose is a deadly weapon. A weapon, that which only the select few have been chosen to wield.      Every single individual, here on earth, has been assigned a purpose. Every single individual has been born, with a mission. We all have gifts and talents, which we can offer the world. We can all succeed, while performing within our own lane. God has made us in his image, meaning we are powerful beyond imagination. However, some people do not access their purpose. Some people simply allow the time to pass by, without truly tapping in. They do not see the urgency of their actions. They do not realize that they have the power to succeed. A man who has not discovered his purpose, wastes his time with pleasures instead. ...

  New Horizons.      After spending much of my time planning out my next move, I’ve come to realize that action is the only step necessary.        Most people spend their lives, trying to think they way into success. They spend days, weeks, months, years, sitting around and trying to map out their entire lives ahead of them. And what happens? Everything they have planned goes straight to hell. There’s an age old saying which says, man makes plans, and God laughs.      Action is the remedy to most of our problems in life. The sitting around and waiting is the source of most suffering. Waiting for something to come, which never does, can kill a man and his spirit. The reality is, success only belongs to those who are willing to reach out and take it. Those who are no longer afraid to sit back and wait for all the chips to fall into their lap. Those who are willing to risk it all, in order to achieve something most cannot even fathom. ...

  Winds Of War.      Can you feel it? The cool, cool breeze, rushing against your skin? Gently caressing it, as it rolls across the plains?      Make no mistake- the winds of war are here. The time has come, and the world is ready. The entire planet, slowly preparing for the inevitable to hit them close to home. The dawn of violence approaches. The battle for Earth has begun.      Death readies his appearance, for the hour is much later than we had imagined. The inner-workings of the greta machine have already begun to turn. The entire world can feel the rumble, as the gears slowly begin to grind. Metal on metal. Fire with fire. War.      Europe has a tremendously rich history, dealing with violence. The entire continent is plagued with death and revolution. It truly is the most active continent across the globe. For thousands of years, the Mediterranean has been the source of all life and conflict. The entire world, revol...
