Something He Was.....

  Once again he's bruised and broken, before he has the chance to explain the words spoken.

Misguided and lied to one more time, made him stand up and fight for what's right

One door closed as another one opened. The scars will fade from every stroke and cut. He knows what he wants and he knows what he needs.
It's not an open heart that will eternally bleed

A strong man has grown from something he was
He's got places to go and knows where to begin from
Blindness has led him to a dead end street, but another avenue appeared at his street

With shadows behind him, he looked at what lie ahead
He felt renewed strength to dry tears that were shed
He brushed off the dirt and reprogrammed his mind

With much needed self love, his mind will unwind
With a look in the mirror and a smile on his face, his wounds will be healing, his steps retraced.
But he's determined to make it and he knows that he can
Because the man that he was is now Better

Blinded Devotion.........

Have you ever wondered what it is that makes people tick?  What moves people to do the things they do?  What causes people to react in the many ways they do?</strong></em> There can be no leaders without some form of followers. They( most leaders), with their smooth and fair speech, beguile the hearts of the innocent.  Because the leaders are blind, those who follow after them likewise are blind.  Their sense of assurance is a false sense of assurance.  They think they have peace when in reality they are like Judah of old crying, “Peace, peace; when there is no peace” (Jeremiah 6:14).  Many of our own congregations are like the churches at Sardis who have a reputation that lives but are dead (Revelation 3:1) and at Laodicea who say, “I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing;” but are really “wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked” (Revelation 3:17).   The blind...

Value of Adversity

I  spent most of my life thinking of adversity as the obstacle between me and success. Over the last three years, I've changed my perspective on adversity. The value of pursuing success isn't the success itself. The value comes from the adversity that you must overcome in the process AND who that forces you to become in the process. THAT is what is valuable. Let me give a concrete example. The value of striving to be a millionaire isn't the money itself. The value is in who you become in the process -- a person who has: overcome societal assumptions about what is and isn't possible;confronted and overcome self-limiting beliefs;discovered how to notice opportunities overlooked by others;learned to be of service to others;grasped the nuances of creating value for others. Most of the people i have come in contact with tend to be in high-income brackets. Some I've worked with over many years What I've found most remarkable isn't their financial success....

Being You....
