The Plan of Nothing

While I was standing by the beach I kept staring at the island across the ocean. As always I planned within my mind how I could one day be on that island. In the horizon I could see a storm approaching. Still, I planned how I would one day cross the ocean. I waited for the storm to come. I waited through the storm. I waited. After the storm past I planned how to build the raft. In the horizon the clouds began to darken. Soon the next storm was upon me. Still I planned and I waited for the right time. I waited. When the storm had past. The ocean was calm. I look around for the wood and vine needed to build my raft. I calculated in my mind how much room I would need ....

More than a school project...A life lesson

Some time ago a student of mine came to my office with his mom,“Master C” he began “I am doing a project for school. I am to ask 5 people that I respect what is their greatest accomplishment in life and their biggest goal. The accomplishment has to be outside of having kids.” “Great question. How many people have you asked so far?” I said. “You are the last one.” “Saved me for last huh” I said as we all laughed. Mom had pulled out her cell phone and had begun to record this conversation “This is going to be a good one” she said as she sat in a chair in front on my desk. The student pulled out a ....

Are You My Friend

A student asked me how I would deal with someone who disrespects me. I told her that I would no longer allow that person around me. She then said what would I do if she continues to disrespect me? My answer was “I wouldn’t know that she is continuing to disrespect me because I no longer allow that person around me.” My student then said “Maybe a friend told you that she is still talking about you.” I replied “I would be more concerned about how that friend responded to the person talking badly about me, then I would about the actual person talking badly about me.” “You would” she asked. “Absolutely. I expect the ....

Where Are You

I put people into one of five categories. Enemy, no relevance, acquaintance, friend, and family. I expect enemies to do what they do. People of no relevance it doesn't matter to me one way or the other what they say and do. Acquaintances are where most reside. We know each other, have some degree of respect and interaction, some trust, but I do not put it past them to harm me to better themselves. I do not expect them to be there for me during true times of stress or trouble. Friends, I have few of. I believe it is a word that is overly used and few qualify to have. Family is not one based upon the blood you have when born, but is more based upon the blood you are ....

What is revealed

A pastor said to me years ago "If someone tells you that you are a horse, simply laugh at them. If another tells you that you are horse, look deeply at yourself to find why they would say that. If a third tells you that you are a horse...No need to look further, for you are a horse.The perception of another is often times formed by the image you project. If people, the right people, who truly care about you, tell you that you project a negative image to others. Maybe it’s time to work more on you instead of focusing upon the faults of others. ....

Strap Up

"I Can't!" he yelled as he quickly got back up onto this feet. The tears were already flowing. Even through his headgear, I could see his red face and his glassy eyes. Even if I were unable to see his face I could still determine that he had given up. His shoulders were slouched forward, his former sure footed movements became uncertain. His once determination to move only forward, became backward movements programmed in his brain through his acceptance of failure. "I Can't" he screamed once again, as again he found himself on the ground. I called him over to me "What is it that you can't do?" I asked him as I knelt onto my knees to be alignment with his eyes. "This" he exclaimed. ....

Let Go

I was speaking to a friend today, he told me that he is trying to figure things out. He is facing personal and financial issues. As we spoke, he told me for many minutes of what he is facing. I waited and listened. At times the solution is found within the silence. When he took a moment to breathe I relayed to him to always remember that his had a purpose before he had a problem. Too often people allow the problem to take their eyes off of their purpose. Instead, the problem should be the reminder that you are on the correct course of living your purpose. I felt led to remind him "Remember, do not be concerned about doing All THINGS. Instead, choose to do the things that you ....
