M. Nova's Blog: Victims 2 Victors
November 7, 2017
The Ruling Janitor
Hey MADE Warriors!
Round 2 of the war against the destiny-thieving darkness.
This Destiny Battle addresses:
Those who wrestle with self-importance and value, fear and doubt, which are Destiny Thieves.
Those who instill such horrific things or further such inhibitions in others, playing the roles of Destiny Thieves.
Those who respect all destines and their different paths to success; who’ve earned the true respect as Destiny Leaders.
This is one of the many destiny-conquering themes within M.A.D.E. Chronicles: The Ghost Indwelling. So let’s look at an excerpt between two characters, JD and Prizm, and go from Victims to Victors again in kicking the ever-loving shit out of these Destiny Thieves!
Fun, fun, fun.
Acceptance 13: Ergo Eros
(JD and Prizm are conversing, and in this excerpt, Prizm begins with…)
“Are custodians irrelevant to a business?”
“I knew it! My eternal punishment for my sins will be cleaning shit and puke!”
Prizm cackled, alone, as JD wrestled with disappointment. “No, no, no!” Prizm calmed down. “Not at all, JD. But think about it. A janitor maintains sanitation. Without that individual’s constant exertion, cleanliness fades, then germs and bacteria—communicable sicknesses—permeate the place of business. Workers get ill, fall out of commission, or simply quit—including employees with high potential. Patrons will do business somewhere else, they may spread negative word of mouth, deadly to sales and further depressing the worth of a company. Government intervention, fines, and suits follow until the doors shut permanently! And it all happened because an underpaid, hardworking individual was deemed worthless, useless to the business.
“That is wrong! Without the bottom, the top cannot stand. Without a follower, a leader cannot lead. Without an army, no king, emperor or president can govern.”
Just like in my last post, Victims Two Victors, reading the book up to this point will be even more rewarding when analyzing this excerpt.
But, not necessary here, as what Prizm said above rings hard truths in various ways, for various walks of life.
Off we are now to dissect three of the many walks of life this piece addresses:
The janitor ruled, or the Ruling Janitor?
Which one are you? Either?
Oh, that’s right. You just clean shit and piss, maybe puke (gagging, over here). You’re just a janitor, huh? Yeah, not so important, right? Bottom feeder of the corporate food chain? A pointless destiny, too, huh?
Yeah. If you’re dumb enough to believe those blatant LIES straight from the friggin pit of hell!
Your mind and your choice.
But you’re here, so let’s change that mentality and examine who you REALLY ARE, and how others ought to see you.
Let’s evaluate the importance and value of YOUR DESTINY and how it affects OTHERS’ destinies.
Above, Prizm said, “A janitor maintains sanitation. Without that individual’s constant exertion, cleanliness fades, then germs and bacteria—communicable sicknesses—permeate the place of business. Workers get ill, fall out of commission, or simply quit—including employees with high potential. Patrons will do business somewhere else, they may spread negative word of mouth, deadly to sales and further depressing the worth of a company. Government intervention, fines, and suits follow until the doors shut permanently! And it all happened because an underpaid, hardworking individual was deemed worthless, useless to the business…”
Ok, so who in the frig is this really talking to?
Everyone, directly and indirectly. But, ESPECIALLY, those who feel insignificant because they haven’t achieved their dreams, yet; those who are fine with where they are, despite its ranking according to society; those who are treated unfairly for living an important and perhaps undesirable destiny; those who are ignored or “spat upon” because they’re not the upper echelon or pay scale; those who aren’t what someone else says they should be.
And, all of you who are being faithful in your calling, where it currently, or permanently, has you reside. If the above examples are representative of your destiny, THANK YOU, for a job well done, you good and faithful servants!
I greatly appreciate your daily hard-won efforts, as everyone else should, too. Shame on those who don’t.
The only shame you bear is the shame you choose. For, in faithfulness to one’s hard work in his or her destiny, there is NO SHAME—no lack of worth or purpose or meaning! Destiny knows no limits, no boundaries, and no occupations.
Destiny only knows its warriors’ willingness and perseverance to fight onward until their very last breath.
The quote says it all; without you, the base, a building cannot stand. Your role in your destiny is as important as the big wig’s in his or hers. And the person at the top floor cannot succeed in his or her destiny without yours. Therefore, you’re an equal piece in a symbiotic circle, where if you don’t fulfill your tasks in your calling, others may be negatively affected and fail their own. It can be a catastrophic domino effect, where many, many lives fall to the wayside, and the darkness of this world wins. Love and life can diminish, and hate and death can flourish.
Why? Because you CHOOSE to allow doubts and fears, a lack of self-worth and importance, to govern your calling, your destiny. Society did not create you or your destiny. So, don’t give them the right to determine your value and whether or not you’re right for being where you are and who you are, faithful to the last breath!
Take control, and embrace acceptance of who you are, and where you’re heading.
And where’s that? The finish line. In every destiny, static or dynamic, there is no finish line until the heart ceases beating. Period!
Another example of someone who may feel undervalued, or holds a lack of respect—even worth— to society? A stay-home or single mom or dad.
For you equally valuable warriors who fit into this, thank you for giving everything you have to raise that child in the way he or she should go; so that this precious, innocent being will not depart from goodness; will not be raised by entertainers (like me) or others, in general.
What an important destiny you have! To mold and shape a tiny life into his or her destined path—how cool is that? Yeah, it is!
I—an author, musician, actor, speaker, body builder, martial warrior, and former national baseball player—AM NOT AUTHORIZED TO RAISE YOUR CHILDREN. Neither are my characters or any other real lives.
You getting this?
Only you are, because that’s what your destiny chose for you, and it’s one of the many amazing facets of your destiny: human life.
The meaning of life, according to me, is procreation: to create life, nurture life, and set it free for its destiny. Then allow it to pass on, so that another may take its place in time and history, with its memories and loving effects forever affecting this world.
Again, you parents out there parenting full-time: your role and destiny is just as important as a CEO or king or president.
I love what author Gina La Morte writes in her book, Designing your Dream:
“Just because you aren’t out running a nation doesn’t mean you’re not running your own nation at home.”
We MADE Warriors seem to be banging on your doors in different ways, but the same message:
You matter, and so does each step of your destiny, no matter who you are, what you’re called to do, and where you choose to go.
Don’t be ruled; RULE as the janitor or mom or whoever you’re called to be!
Oh, high and mighty… jackass:
Maybe you’re a CEO, or ranked officer in a company; a religious figure; a politician (excuse me, had to cough a few times…like a hundred); a business owner, manager—anyone who has supervision and authority over others.
Cool. Impressive. Really.
BUT
This is no less for you! Your responsibility is to love and respect those who are NOT beneath you, despite rank, but WITH YOU, beside you, keeping the “building” of your business or dream or destiny intact! Damn you, if you treat them as worthless, useless, or below your self-evaluated or monetary worth! Damn you!
Like Prizm says, “That is wrong! Without the bottom, the top cannot stand. Without a follower, a leader cannot lead. Without an army, no king, emperor or president can govern.”
Get your head out of your ass, and focus. Revamp your ill-perception, and poison-diluted mentality.
You’re not better than them—anyone. And, you’re nothing without EVERY ONE of your teammates!
Eli Manning—and Peyton—never won a friggin super bowl without everyone stepping on that field with enough confidence and humility to know that without their special teams, offense, defense, coaching staff, office staff, medical staff, field staff—equipment handlers—there’s no victory and no ring to flaunt it!
Be grateful for your teammates’ faithfulness, loyalty, and daily blood, sweat, and tears. If they’re not giving that to you, coach them, rehabilitate them, mold them into your expectations for not only your short- and long-term success, but THEIRS, too!
United you stand, or divided you’ll fall.
Don’t fall.
Respect the base, the bottom of your “building,” for it’s as important as the top floor penthouse suite. And, maybe, invite them there to be encouraged, appreciated, and have something friggin amazing for inspiration.
People say you gotta try everything at least once. Bullshit. Drugs kill. But, this? Why not!
Remember where you came from; you were once a baby, who couldn’t talk, or walk, eat or dress yourself. Someone, or more, aided you to boost you in your destiny where you are today. If you’re in that penthouse, your responsibility goes from top down—all the way to the base, your equally important and valuable employees!
Don’t choke on this deserved humble pie; chew and meditate on it, and swallow the life-changing morsels.
Why can’t the last feel what it’s like to be first? Why can’t the weak embrace what it’s like to be strong?
They can. And THAT’S your responsibility!
Destiny Leaders:
For those true leaders out there, undoubtedly championing their teammates, keep on rocking! That’s what makes you a leader. You don’t boss them around, you jump in there—with the janitor—and clean the shit stains on your hands and knees.
WITH them, not over them!
Bravo, pal. Bravo.
Your leadership isn’t you just fighting for them, but also teaching and exemplifying how they can fight for themselves, empowered and wiser in victory.
You alter their existence from the “ruled janitor” to the “Ruling Janitor!”
Bravo.
You fit into what I call Destiny Leadership.
Destiny Leadership is not seeing people for where they’re at or for what they are; it’s guiding them to where they’re meant to go, and into who they’re meant to be…in their destiny.
So, MADE Warriors, in the end, we’re all equal Ruling Janitors and Kings and Queens; destinies that differ from one to another, as much as no two people possess the same DNA or fingerprints. But we share a bond, a commonality that screams, “I can’t do this shit without you, and you can’t without me!”
Equality is greater than an ethnicity, nationality, or gender thing; it’s an All-Lives thing. Different destinies, but the same calling: to elevate ourselves and others up our Mountains of Destiny; to go from Victims to Victors together.
Love = peace.
Peace = Focus.
Focus = determination.
Determination = perseverance.
And perseverance = Destiny Complete.
Together.

M.A.D.E. Chronicles: The Ghost Indwelling
November 1, 2017
Victims Two Victors
M.A.D.E. Chronicles: The Ghost Indwelling is not just some Urban Fantasy, Superhero, Paranormal, Romance genre-bender!
One word can describe all of its varied ingredients: DESTINY!
The key slogan for the Saga is, "You're not ready for this, but you're MADE for it."
Destiny. YOUR destiny.
So, What does that mean? How do we face our demons, our traumas, our memories, our pasts? How do we more than survive, but thrive today in persevering with implacable determination to OWN our every tomorrow?
How can we laugh in the face of darkness, letting the light within us blind the powers that bind us from our destinies?
How do we go from Victims to Victors in making our dreams come true, and our destinies fulfilled?
This Blog, beginning here, will be the one stop shop to finding all those answers, utilizing the narrative elements from M.A.D.E. Chronicles, my wisdom and experiences, and what your heart chooses to share.
What you have to say matters to me! It matters to others, believe it or not! One of the greatest forms of warfare against the darkness--which is anything or anyone who seeks to kill and destroy our destinies--is testimony.
Feel free to share your stories, as it may be the prime catalyst to another's success! Just be respectful to one another, as you would desire the same for yourself.
Ready to take the first step up your Mountain of Destiny?
Thought so. Me, too.
Victims Two Victors? The frig does that mean?
Well, it's a poem that one character gives to another in M.A.D.E. Chronicles: The Ghost Indwelling. Its meaning goes far deeper in this Saga for many of the characters. But let's check out the poem first...
Victims Two Victors
Look at me; please give me embrace—why don’t I exist?
Over and over, I’m left in disgrace—why should I persist?
Vicious words, you leave me defaced—your arrows never miss.
Exiled hope, have I been erased—will my heart desist?
Hold me near in your very warmth—I’m not your regret.
Extinguishing fears and forlorn—we shall not forget.
As one we’ll ride into the storm—put despair to rest.
Let in the sun, the curtain’s torn—together we are dressed.
Stop hitting me, don’t want to bleed—love is not abuse.
Affection I want, but not from a knee—no more black and blue.
Living in pain is not living free—please just let me loose.
Lingering choke, I cannot breathe—death I will not choose.
Walls are broken, but not our flesh—we fight for our lives.
On our meadows, we stand abreast—we will alter time.
Unbreakable, too fast to catch—heading toward new skies.
Never again shall we be bled—with winged hearts we fly.
Don’t smother me, my flesh isn’t yours—your pleasure’s not mine.
Strong-armed passion, taken by force—your love isn’t kind.
Into the void, my dignity mourns—drowned by your lust’s tide.
No longer I’ll trust, I am no more—all my wishes died.
This be our promise until our deaths—we will not release.
Interwoven, we share one breath—locked in passion’s stream.
Made and reborn into heavenly scents—we’ve become a dream.
Eternal dovemates, in love’s nest—together, we are free.
I'll let you have fun with the context surrounding this and the story leading up to it. But much can be taken from this right now, even if you haven't reached this scene.
This poem bleeds out the suffering we humans go through from past traumas--or current--like verbal/emotional, physical, sexual abuse. And, rejection and abandonment. But, it's not limited to those. Just like us, MADE's characters face those, addictions, sicknesses, eating disorders, hate crimes, and many other types of victimization.
But do they lay down and die--no matter how bad the human condition within them pleads for it?
Should we?
A key thing a character says in Acceptance 14: Flavor of Freedom...
“They stole over a decade of my life. They’re not getting the rest of it!”
Then follows up with:
"I wished them the harshest depths and punishments of hell, all of them, but only because the punishment should fit the crimes. I can’t live my life shackled by their past attempts to debase my dignity and honor... They lose; I win! By forgiving and moving forward, whether or not I can someday forget, they stay imprisoned and I bloom in freedom!”
This particular victim has endured the highest echelon of dehumanizing, grotesque, and gruesome forms of abuse, to say the least.
But, has chosen to forgive and push forward; to not lay down and die; to not give up the destiny they have CHOSEN to fulfill; to not allow nightmares to steer their course, but instead give the reins to their dreams; to fight through and face these traumatic demons of old, however long it takes, or difficult it may be; to learn from what bound and gagged and brutalized them, so that such things may never occur again; to be able to help others go from Victims to Victors!
Everyone has a story. And that story has some seriously shitty details of pain. Heart-breaking, sad occurrences that has either killed them, or they've survived...for now.
What you've gone through is not necessarily worse than others; it's just different. It's personal for your world and destiny. But these traumas are DESTINY THIEVES!
They are fully sponsored by the darkness of this world to block and shatter your heart, to enslave your will, and control your mind--the nuclear power plant of your entire existence.
When your soul is no longer yours, and your mind and heart are not acting in concert as one, your destiny is SHUT DOWN.
So where do we go when victimized? And everyone's been victimized in their life as much as everyone has a unique destiny, fearfully and wonderfully made.
The first quote above:
“They stole over a decade of my life. They’re not getting the rest of it!”
Forgiveness. Period. It blows beyond measure to have to suck it up and truly forgive someone in your heart.
Unfortunately, when you hold unforgiveness, you keep the pain and torment intact. And when they're intact, they continue to do their damnedest--torture you. They cause stress, confusion, restlessness, anguish, debilitation from moving forward in your destiny, sickness and health issues.
Really? All because you were forced to endure a form(s) of victimization? Yeah.
It's like the victim has become indebted to the torturer, while being continually tortured. The torturer is not only the cruel perpetrator, but now unforgiveness, too!
Someone may have stolen minutes, days, years from your life. You can't get them back! So, should you lay down and die and give them the rest of your life? Never. Forgive, whether or not you can forget. And the greatest way to forget is through healing yourself. Talking about it, getting help, perhaps seeing doctors for remedies, but ultimately, facing these demons outright, with relentless vigilance and determination to NOT GIVE UP YOUR DESTINY!
Like the character later says, as mentioned above, "...I can’t live my life shackled by their past attempts to debase my dignity and honor... They lose; I win! By forgiving and moving forward, whether or not I can someday forget, they stay imprisoned and I bloom in freedom!”
Bloom in freedom! Your day of freedom begins with forgiving and fighting like the greatest warrior whoever walked this bleeding planet. Who says you can't become your own tourniquet, the bandage to others?
No matter what's happened to you, hear me! Your destiny is your own, but you're meant to affect others--maybe one, a few, or millions!
If you've a breath, and a pulse, you've got no friggin excuse. Don't lay down, don't crawl; rise up, fight, and fight, and fight some more, each step up your fearfully and wonderfully made Mountain of Destiny!
You're not ready for this, but you're MADE for it.
Take the first step.
Game on!

Never again shall we be bled—with winged hearts we fly.
Don’t smother me, my flesh isn’t yours—your pleasure’s not mine.
Strong-armed passion, taken by force—your love isn’t kind.
Into the void, my dignity mourns—drowned by your lust’s tide.
No longer I’ll trust, I am no more—all my wishes died.
This be our promise until our deaths—we will not release.
Interwoven, we share one breath—locked in passion’s stream.
Made and reborn into heavenly scents—we’ve become a dream.
Eternal dovemates, in love’s nest—together, we are free.
I'll let you have fun with the context surrounding this and the story leading up to it. But much can be taken from this right now, even if you haven't reached this scene.
This poem bleeds out the suffering we humans go through from past traumas--or current--like verbal/emotional, physical, sexual abuse. And, rejection and abandonment. But, it's not limited to those. Just like us, MADE's characters face those, addictions, sicknesses, eating disorders, hate crimes, and many other types of victimization.
But do they lay down and die--no matter how bad the human condition within them pleads for it?
Should we?
A key thing a character says in Acceptance 14: Flavor of Freedom...
“They stole over a decade of my life. They’re not getting the rest of it!”
Then follows up with:
"I wished them the harshest depths and punishments of hell, all of them, but only because the punishment should fit the crimes. I can’t live my life shackled by their past attempts to debase my dignity and honor... They lose; I win! By forgiving and moving forward, whether or not I can someday forget, they stay imprisoned and I bloom in freedom!”
This particular victim has endured the highest echelon of dehumanizing, grotesque, and gruesome forms of abuse, to say the least.
But, has chosen to forgive and push forward; to not lay down and die; to not give up the destiny they have CHOSEN to fulfill; to not allow nightmares to steer their course, but instead give the reins to their dreams; to fight through and face these traumatic demons of old, however long it takes, or difficult it may be; to learn from what bound and gagged and brutalized them, so that such things may never occur again; to be able to help others go from Victims to Victors!
Everyone has a story. And that story has some seriously shitty details of pain. Heart-breaking, sad occurrences that has either killed them, or they've survived...for now.
What you've gone through is not necessarily worse than others; it's just different. It's personal for your world and destiny. But these traumas are DESTINY THIEVES!
They are fully sponsored by the darkness of this world to block and shatter your heart, to enslave your will, and control your mind--the nuclear power plant of your entire existence.
When your soul is no longer yours, and your mind and heart are not acting in concert as one, your destiny is SHUT DOWN.
So where do we go when victimized? And everyone's been victimized in their life as much as everyone has a unique destiny, fearfully and wonderfully made.
The first quote above:
“They stole over a decade of my life. They’re not getting the rest of it!”
Forgiveness. Period. It blows beyond measure to have to suck it up and truly forgive someone in your heart.
Unfortunately, when you hold unforgiveness, you keep the pain and torment intact. And when they're intact, they continue to do their damnedest--torture you. They cause stress, confusion, restlessness, anguish, debilitation from moving forward in your destiny, sickness and health issues.
Really? All because you were forced to endure a form(s) of victimization? Yeah.
It's like the victim has become indebted to the torturer, while being continually tortured. The torturer is not only the cruel perpetrator, but now unforgiveness, too!
Someone may have stolen minutes, days, years from your life. You can't get them back! So, should you lay down and die and give them the rest of your life? Never. Forgive, whether or not you can forget. And the greatest way to forget is through healing yourself. Talking about it, getting help, perhaps seeing doctors for remedies, but ultimately, facing these demons outright, with relentless vigilance and determination to NOT GIVE UP YOUR DESTINY!
Like the character later says, as mentioned above, "...I can’t live my life shackled by their past attempts to debase my dignity and honor... They lose; I win! By forgiving and moving forward, whether or not I can someday forget, they stay imprisoned and I bloom in freedom!”
Bloom in freedom! Your day of freedom begins with forgiving and fighting like the greatest warrior whoever walked this bleeding planet. Who says you can't become your own tourniquet, the bandage to others?
No matter what's happened to you, hear me! Your destiny is your own, but you're meant to affect others--maybe one, a few, or millions!
If you've a breath, and a pulse, you've got no friggin excuse. Don't lay down, don't crawl; rise up, fight, and fight, and fight some more, each step up your fearfully and wonderfully made Mountain of Destiny!
You're not ready for this, but you're MADE for it.
Take the first step.
Game on!
