One
would say that in order to move forward you can not look back. I
disagree. I believe that in order for you to know with out a shadow
of doubt where you are going, you must look back. You must look back
to evaluate how you've gotten to the place where you are right now.
Were those steps productive? Did you win or loose? Did you abuse
another to get where you are? Did you lie, steal or cheat your way to
where you are right now? Did you learn valuable lessons on life or
did you just go with the flow, being a follower or an attention
seeker? Most are followers. Many are attention seekers but few are
true leaders by example. These are the ones to watch. The ones who
are DOING exactly what it is that you desire to do. Those who are in
the spots in life productively where you wish to be. Now mind you,
you must be careful to not want exactly what they have because the
truth of the matter is, you have no clue as the hell they may have
endured to get where they are. The word of God tells us in Mark
8:36 For
what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and
lose his own soul? Think on that for a
while. My suggestion is know your worth and value. Know your passion
as it will and can contribute to a greater good. Don't settle for the
status quo, be a part of a click or participate because everyone else
is. You must stand apart and alone in your quest for greatness. Not
the arrogant type of greatness. But the greatness God has already
prepared for you. You see if you are not lined up with Gods will, all
of your efforts will ultimately be all works of vanity, which will
not last.
When
I say stand alone, this does not mean that you can accomplish what
you need to accomplish alone. It means that in standing alone you
must first know yourself and what your goal is. Use the alone time to
prepare and execute and educate. Knowledge is power. You can not
allow others to dictate to you what your purpose is in life. This
comes from seeking God and His direction, this comes from standing on
His promises and not being puffed up by others who don't even know
themselves. Especially woman. Most woman are influenced by their
woman friends and associates, some positive many negative. Its the
generational curses that fuel. Most woman have low self-esteem thus
acting out their own personal drama and pain. Wearing a mask. This
can be seen by watching how a woman will carry herself, how she
speaks, how she dresses, what she allows into her life and who she
allows in her life. I know, I was there. But praise be to God that I
grew up and took a hard look at myself and asked myself those hard
questions and accepted the real uncut raw truth. I messed up. That
is knowing yourself and your value. Example, you can not dress like
a hooker and expect a man to treat you with respect. So, forgive
yourself and others and start again. Do that which is your passion
and share that with the world. Its your non-verbal testimony.
The
time has been here, not come for us to stand up and really make a
difference. We must not jump on the next band wagon moment because
it looks good and we must not stay in the familiar of the dark pit
that many of us stay close to. Ummm. That is how many millions of
people lost their hard earn money due to that get rich quick scheme.
See my point. Don't be gullible or naive. Don't take wooden nickles,
don't settle or compromise your worth. We must be specific in our
quests. Educate yourself on your passion. Seek out a mentor who is
doing or has done what you wish to do and learn from them. Keep a
journal. Now don't cross your eyes. Keeping a journal is not hard.
Its just sitting down in some quiet area and putting down your
thoughts a line at a time. Start with baby steps and in doing so you
will see the fruits of your labor come to fruition. You will feel
the peace in your spirit and when you, you will have that ah ha
moment. It will take time, sweat, money and patience to use your
greatness.
If you follow Gods plan, you will succeed because He wants
to give us the desires of our hearts. Run the race and don't grow
weary in well doing and the well doing is what we all must do.
Well what are you waiting for?
