Hello Friends

I pray all with well with you & your families. I am doing just fine. The Lord is keeping & blessing me. I pray that you will read & receive this message as the Lord sees fit.

It has been a week since I have sent the last message. I trust that everyone had a blessed week. My week was interesting & productive. God lead me to mentor & to be mentored. In that, there is balance. God showed me the joy of mentoring. We should share want God shows us with others. It is also equally important to associate yourself with someone that will be able to mentor you. You must, have at the very least, one person in your life that you consider successful. (success comes in many forms, it could be in life, in business, in religion, family life etc.) Once you find a person that has a trait that you desire then associate yourself with that person. Likewise, if there is a person that has a trait that you do not desire then you should disassociate yourself with that person if you feel that the person will stunt your growth.

Last week we talked about trusting in our nature, our source, our creator. God made us in His own image & likeness. We are perfectly & wonderfully made. We need to trust that God has provided us with EVERYTHING we need to complete that tasks that He has prepared before us. Forget your fears, because all that you need is inside you. Let go & Let GOD.

Change your thoughts from I need more, to I am content with what I have, or who I am. From a child we are taught that more is better. We are conditioned to compare ourselves with those that are around us. We compete and compare and judge one another based on standards that man created. We try to live up to those man made standards for the fear that we won't be accepted if we don't. Guess what guys, the standards are always changing. From the test we take to obtain a license, to graduate high school and get into college, to play sports and so on and so on. The measurements are always changing. In trying to keep up with the measurement we forget to enjoy where we are. I will never forget a time while I was in High School, before a basketball game, while I was warming up, a freshman came up to me & said that he wanted to be just like me. Those words shocked me. All I could think at that time was that he didn't know what he was asking for. I practiced & practiced but never felt good enough. Because I wasn't content with who I was, I couldn't enjoy the gifts God gave me. To that freshman I had a gift, but to me I wasn't good enough. The reason I wasn't content with who I was, is because that I was comparing myself to others. There is ALWAYS going to be someone better that you at something. So you see it was MY thoughts that made me not good enough, not my abilities. I had all I needed inside me. Had I stopped to enjoy what I had, I would have had more confidence in my abilities and therefore would have been a better player. We must change our thoughts to become content with what we are, who we are & where we are. Be flexible, don't conform to the measurements of man. Conform to the measurements of your Creator, which is LOVE. The commandment is to Love thy neighbor as thy Love THYSELF. How can you Love your neighbor if you are not content with YOU?

"If your realized that you have enough then you are truly rich" Tao Te Ching
