Vision 2007-05-01

Filed under: Inspiration / Encouragement, Writings — admin @ 7.17 pm

I am a man possessed and obsessed with the future, a man of vision. My vision through faith brings me hope and hope drives me to possess and inhabit what I see! I do not focus on the future at the sacrifice of the present, such would be out of balance, it is my vision of the future that helps me to fully live in the moment and the moment that helps me to see the future. The future reveals the power and potential of the present and the present reveals the power and potential of the future, there is a circle, a wheel, and in the center of that wheel I have found him and in him I have found myself and within myself I have found destiny. I write what I see then see what I have written. When a force opposes my vision I do not allow it to blind my eyes. When a contradiction presents itself, I do not consider it, I overcome it with truth. In moments when I feel hopeless, forsaken, or discouraged, I look to the future and find in it a comforting hope, a best friend, a voice of encouragement and affirmation. Without a vision people dwell carelessly. Vision is absolutely necessary if one is to fulfill their unique purpose in life and achieve their destiny. What is my vision? Hope for the hopeless, freedom for the captive, healing for the hurting. Reaching the unreachable and touching the untouchable. Through music, writing, speaking, photography, video, through all forms of media, I will enter the kingdoms of this world and speak a word of hope, shine a ray of light, be a father a brother a friend. I want to show the world the truth of life and love. Vision is one of the primary driving forces of my life, without vision my writings would not exist, my music would have no passion, my photographs and videos would have no meaning, I would never have traveled, I would never have met some of the dearest and most influential people of my life. Vision drives me to explore, to fearlessly go. I will leap out onto nothing and I will find something there. I will leave reasoning and logic behind when necessary. I will take risks. I will let go of all fear and doubt. I will free my mind. I will follow my dreams. This is my life, this is my day, this is my hour, this is my moment and it is a precious gift, I shall not let it slip away.

Hi, Niko!

I agree to your words. To have vision is not only to look at for front. To have vision is to look at the life, to perceive the present moment and where it can in taking them. I appreciate very to reflect on the life, but have difficulties in writing what I think and what I feel. I admire people as you!

In Portuguese:
Eu concordo com as tuas palavras.
Ter visão não é apenas olhar para frente. Ter visão é olhar a vida, perceber o momento presente e aonde ele pode nos levar. Eu gosto muito de refletir sobre a vida, mas tenho dificuldades em escrever o que penso e o que sinto. Admiro pessoas como você!

“…I will follow my dreams. This is my life, this is my day, this is my hour, this is my moment and it is a precious gift, I shall not let it slip away.”

Beautiful words…
That God blesses you greatly.
Kisses.

p.s.:Excuse me for my poor english.

Johnél Says:

My dear friend Niko

I don’t have the words to tell you how TRUELY happy I am for you! Reading through all the comments of people around the world that appreciate your music, gives me goose pumps. I’m so proud of you that you had hung in there and that you are now picking the fruits on years of hard work.

Take care and I can’t wait to book the biggest entertainment arena for your first show in Africa. You better hurry up, Africa is waiting for you!

Best wishes from Stellenbosch, South Africa

I began to express a small intro to why I feel like you are equal to me in our passion for helping people, in your guest book. And here I will explain more into detail. The thing about me is, I am in touch with my spirit and The Spirit. I have visions, callings, I can feel things that other people can’t, I have a gift. And I could chose to be selfish with it, but I chose to sacrifice what I want in this world, for the benefit of others. That’s what we all need to be doing sacrificing ourselves for the benefit of each other. Therefore causing one another to be truly happy and feel no stress from our sacrifices. We will be one in happiness because we give equally. That’s how it should be, but man has created things and discovered things to block our natural need to love one another. Man has created money, therefore causing greed. Man has made porn, therefore putting marriages and trust in jeopardy. Man has created weapons which causes us to kill our own, how can one want to kill their own? How did this world get so messed up? We need to start trying to get things right, we need to sacrifice more of ourselves, we need to start trying, although it seems hopeless, more who follow these actions, will be on earth, shining a light on those who are in the darkness, and those in the darkness will be brought into light, becoming one of us, and repeating this circle of positively that the world craves so much. That is my calling, to share my insight with others, and together, grow. Congrats to you, and anyone like me and you, for making a difference in this seemingly hopeless world.

A friend sent me your stuff: Time for the critic,

This is a perfect case of “jive talkin” or fluff, take your pick. It sounds like an adolescent boy, who says alot but nothing (That’s ok, if that’s his stage of development). But there’s no substance. The questions are answered evasively, and everything is centered around you, you, you. Even the photographs…you and the sunset, you and the wind, you and your hair, you being pensive, you posing, you and the spirit….get my drift. If your gonna make a difference then do it and be just a little or alot less self focused. And don’t be so quick to judge a priest or a politician, b/c if you’re quick to remove the speck in others you will surely fail at removing the log in yours.
Peace to you,
melaou

If there’s one thing I have learned in life its that there are always two sides to every story. I’d like to share mine in response to “the critic” message above.

They said my writings “sounds like an adolecent boy, who says alot but nothing.” My responce to this is, “A tree is known by it’s fruit.” Since I started this blog, I have received hundreds of messages from people around the world telling me how these writings have touched and even changed their lives. Whether or not they are the writings of an adolecent boy is up to the reader to decide but either way, I am grateful to have written and posted them.

They said everything is centered around “you, you , you…even the photographs”. The truth is that NikoOnline.com and most of its contents are a multimedia diary/documentary of my journey through life, if you listen to my songs and read my writings you will find a naked soul with nothing to prove - a young man who is wholeheartedly in search of freedom, love and the fulfillment of his purpose. I put photos with my writings because I want to give the reader a visual glimpse of the journeyman in the story. Imagine watching a movie and never seeing the characters in the story, that would be odd. This is no different.

Also, “Don’t be so quick to judge a priest or a politician”. They are referring to my Cast The Vision writing, “I am not concerned about the color of one’s skin…one’s religious faith or political views. I am a minstrel, a messenger, a mouthpiece, not a racist, a priest, nor a politician.” I am not judging priests or politicians in this statement. I was actually trying to make a point of the exact opposite, that I DO NOT judge people based on their faith or political views. I was saying that I am not here to push my faith onto anyone or to promote a certain political message. For those who are called to do this, God bless them. We all have different callings and each of us fulfilling those callings brings balance into the world. I certainly have my own spiritual and political views just like everyone does… but it’s not why I was born! I am on this earth to open my mouth and sing, to move my hands across a laptop keyboard and tell a story that will encourage and inspire people. If you enjoy my songs, great. If you don’t, I accept that. If my message connects with something in you, great. If it doesn’t, it’s ok, I’m not offended. I certainly do not think everything I do is golden, I am an imperfect man. I openly share my life with people because I feel in my heart that is what God has called me to do and that in honoring this I will somehow make a positive and long lasting difference in this world. ~ Niko

 
SisterLove Says:

Hey, Niko!

I don’t judge people either. It’s just plain wrong! Greeks, Jews, African-Americans, rapists, lawyers, pedophiles, etc. are all judged by God. Luckily not by any of us.

Preach on, my ethereal brother from another upper region!

P.S. And, when you come down from that cloud so high up where is the air is apparently so thin, shoot me an email so that we can get together and have a sit-down at (what I’m sure is one of your’s and Magic’s favorite places) Star*bucks!!

Sincerely,

PeaceLoveEarthAirinessScriptureEnough!

P.P.S. Nice pictures!!

 
Anobius Says:
