REFLECTION - How do I Succeed in Life?


As I sat reflecting on my life I realized that I have a lot for which to be thankful. While reflecting I began to write down some of the things that have helped me along my life’s journey. Life is full of challenges, nonetheless, they are still not reasons enough not to try and build a worthwhile life. Certainly, there are times when I have search for the meaning of life and what I have to offer.

The one think that has remained constant throughout my life as early as my childhood days is my faith in God. My belief that there is a higher power, a supreme being. A creator, one who made the universe and everything therein, it is with this belief I press forward to rise above life challenges.

It is my desire to share with you some of the lessons I have learned and continue to learn along journey of life. Follow me on this journey each day and let’s see what more we can learn together. I pray you are empowered and equipped to continue on your life’s journey and become successful at being you.

What is it do you want to accomplish in life? Can you identify one thing that has been constant in your life? Make a list of your dreams and aspirations so you can see where your heart lies.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“Your journey to success is not a single road to travel, but a journey of life woven through different terrains.”

DON'T WAKE THE BEAST!

                My mom had a way of conveying here wisdom in such a way that would make you laugh and think at the same time.  When things weren't going well or she heard of a problem between two people she would often say; "When you find your head in a lion's mouth take your time and draw it out." What she meant was that a lion is a fierce beast, but when he is sleeping he is harmless as a dove. If you are having problem with someone don't get angry and stir anger in the person because you might not be able to escape the fierceness of his or her wrath. Next time you find yourself in a dispute with someone and feel the need to get angry, remember not to wake the beast. It is best to keep calm and walk away than to wake the lion within the person and get devoured.  Proverbs 15:1 - A soft answer turns away wrath, but harsh words stir up anger.
ENDURE TO THE END Scripture Reading Ecclesiastes Chapter 9 2012 has been an interesting year, 2013 will be even a more interesting one.  It is always easy to begin something new with zeal and passion but when situations arise it becomes hard to endure.  Many times we face unexpected problems and because we don’t know how to deal with them we give up and loose hope.     Nonetheless, it will be a prosperous year for those who can endure to the end. The race is not for the swift nor the battle for the strong,  Ecclesiastes 9:11 .  As believers we will suffer many things for the sake of the Gospel. Men will revile us and persecute us without a cause.  It is the plan of the enemy to hold us captive and cause us to lose sight of the future that God has prepared for us. He will do everything to destroy us.  One of his most effective tool since creation has been deception.  In  Genesis 3:1-7 ; it was Satan’s ability to make ...
RECLAIMING OUR COMMUNITY When we think about the condition of our communities we are not just fighting against guns and gang violence, but against spiritual wickedness in high places. In order to reclaim our community we must first recognize the source of the problem, confront the problem, and then conquer the problem.                                                            Recognize—Confront—Conquer The War Against Violence This war against violence is not just a physical one, it is also a spiritual war. In the physical realm we need to bond together and say no longer will we allow the violence to take over our community. It will take everyone corporation. On the spiritual aspect of the war we need to understand that our fight is not against the gang members but against the spirit of murder that is driving our young peop...
