Accountability

I have learned that accountability requires focus, and resolve, the opposite, requires nothing. What am I investing?

Beliefs

The substance of our beliefs will not be found in our speeches of grandeur but in idle words of no restraints the foundations are exposed. What are we saying when there is no one around? It's at those times our hearts seems to say what they feel. It's those thoughts that we need to capture and confront, not the thoughts that we carefully put together and say in front of others. Its the ones we say privately, for those are the bases of the foundations of our beliefs, which in turn, molds and shapes our life's.

Faith

How often have we used faith as, Break Glass Incase of Emergency response? and not away of life? Panic is not faith, in the same instance, faith is not panic. For true belief to bear any fruits, it must first be apart of our daily life, not just when something goes wrong. So the next time you wonder how things just seem to fall into place for other people, you may want to stop and ask yourself, what separates my life from theirs? I believe you would be safe to assume that Faith is a critical part of their life and, not a response brought on by panic

Determination

Williams James 1842-1910.

Success is no accident, it won't fall into to your lap regardless of how nice a person you think you are or how deserving you feel you must be. Success takes determination, a plan, focus, resolve, and not allowing your failure or falls to cripple you but using them to in power your resolve. Theodore Roosevelt once said, "It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms; the great devotions; and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. There are more reasons for us to to change then there are for us to stay the same. How determined are you to change? Your life is just that, your life, so what are you going to do with it?

Purpose

I believe this is one of the most allusive answers in our society. There are countless people that feel that they are wondering aimlessly lost, in search of the reason why they are hear. We being lost, always in search mode, looking for anything and everything to fill that void in our lifes, and answer the question, Why am I hear? There are several factors that influence this way of thinking and this cold emptiness, I'll approach only one at this time, and that is "the search". There are times in our life that we get so busy searching we don't realize the answer is right in front of us, or inside of us for this matter. The majority of us feel incomplete to the point we search for that magical thing that will complete us, i.e. a relationship, a career, a bank account, but all of these things always come up short, they never fill that void regardless of the resources we throw at it, and why is that? It's because we are a completed work. Please don't misunderstand, I am all for bettering ourselves anyway possible, but why would I try to create something or find something on the outside when it's been inside of me all along? You see, we don't need to find something that we haven't lost, we need to learn how to acknowledge what is already in us, then and only then do we stop searching and begin developing.

Choice, whats yours

I have chosen not to be created by the events that I'll experience during my journey through life. I have decided not to allow events, create who I am and, who I'll be. I might not have the ability to control certain things from happening during my journey, however, as a creator, I can respond in the way that I chose, we were given that power, the authority, to create and influence the out come of the events. We were not created to set idly by, act as if we are helpless while the currents of life carry us in any direction that it sees fit, as if we had no say so in the matter, no influence, as if we do not have the ability to speak and say no, but we do. We do have the right, the power, the authority, and the ability to open our month and speak aloud our desired outcome. I am because I have spoken, I have spoken because of who I am, should be our responce during our journey through life. We are no longer the victims of circumstance, but the creators of our life's. Which do you chose? victom or creator?
