Passwords and usernames

I get so frustrated when I can't remember my username and password, or I get locked out of an app because I have tried too many times. I wonder why the world has become so "Un-user Friendly". We all have to hide everything under lock and key, or worst yet a password. Don't forget it's got to have 8 characters and a non-numerical or at least one punctuation symbol and the name of your first car, dog, and your mothers maiden name. What's up with us? Computers and banks are supposed to make our lives easier not harder. Oh, and if you don't take any money out of your bank account they freeze it, and you can't get it out until you put at least another dollar in, and wait 24 hours! Wait! What! It's my money!

Of course everything I go through ends up in my Blog. Well, today's the day. Frustration is always ready to knock on the door. Frustration won't stay outside your door. Noooooo, he comes on in and stays awhile. Well, how long is awhile? Depends on how soon we get over being frustrated. 

As soon as I settle myself down and decide to wait another day, call a friend for help, or simply decide I am not giving up, or throwing in the towel, frustration takes his leave. We have options and choices everyday. We could put our money under the mattress, and get it anytime we wanted. We could refuse to have a computer in the house, and opt out of having an email address. But, no we want it all. "In getting it all, you get it all". That would make a great Tweet, just saying. So, ultimately the decision is ours. If you want your cake and eat it too, you and I will be frustrated at what we weigh. So, how do you weigh in on this matter? Where do we take a stand? What are our options? I think it is time we start thinking outside the box the world keeps trying to put us in.

ACTION STEP: Let's get back our imaginations and quit letting the world think for us. When the world says we can't? When the world wants our username and password so it can have access to what we own, we need to make them have a username and password! Our bank, our money. What if we quit using banks? What if we build our own financial system, our own banks and refused to let them use them without their username and password? Let's start thinking about how we can take our power back, instead of becoming frustrated and allowing the world to steal our joy!

​Thanks for letting me rant today! Oh, and praying really works. Listen to this: "Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
