ARE YOUR MOVES CRITIQUED?

Hello again and I am back with you and I am sure you are ready to continue our little study…go grab that cup of coffee that you can already taste… mmmmm… make sure you add a little cream and sugar if you like. Ok… now, we were talking about forgiveness in the last post of the study so we will take that and twist it up a little bit as we tighten up the study a little…..part of the forgiveness process is learning not to be over bearing in your critiquing process….this is one factor that many overlook but think about what the bible has to say on this stance Mat 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. Luke 6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Pro 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Now, you are saying, these verses say judge and what does the tongue have to do in all this….well think about it here for a minute….we look at the word judge as a noun many times ….the judge wants to see you or go before the judge, instead of the verb form. We have so easily put other words in its place like the famous words, in my opinion….every one has an opinion right….opinions are good but it is how you act or react to them. Now why do we do this? You can imagine with this little slight of words how different people would see themselves. If the correct terminology were placed it would go like this….well my judgment of that situation ….. or that person, or their actions, and I am sure you can name more ways than these in how we use the word opinion. This makes and allows us all to be judges and not feel guilty about it…. I find it hard in my own life not to be a judge of others and their actions more so sometimes with my own children. Here is a little story written almost 100 years ago by W. Livingston Larned who wrote of the anguish of a father who loses focus, read on and enjoy.... Father Forgets: Listen, son: I am saying this as you lie asleep, one little paw crumpled under your cheek and the blond curls stickily wet on your damp forehead. I have stolen into your room alone. Just a few minutes ago, as I sat reading my paper in the library, a stifling wave of remorse swept over me. Guiltily I came to your bedside. There are the things I was thinking, son: I had been cross to you. I scolded you as you were dressing for school because you gave your face merely a dab with a towel. I took you to task for not cleaning your shoes. I called out angrily when you threw some of your things on the floor. At breakfast I found fault, too. You spilled things. You gulped down your food. You put your elbows on the table. You spread butter too thick on your bread. And as you started off to play and I made for my train, you turned and waved a hand and called, “Goodbye, Daddy!” and I frowned, and said in reply, “Hold your shoulders back!” Then it began all over again in the late afternoon. As I came up the road I spied you, down on your knees, playing marbles. There were holes in your stockings. I humiliated you before your boyfriends by marching you ahead of me to the house. Stockings were expensive and if you had to buy them you would be more careful! Imagine that, son, from a father! Do you remember, later, when I was reading in the library, how you came in timidly, with a sort of hurt look in your eyes? When I glanced up over my paper, impatient at the interruption, you hesitated at the door. “What is it you want?” I snapped. You said nothing, but ran across in one tempestuous plunge, and threw your arms around my neck and kissed me, and your small arms tightened with an affection that God had set blooming in your heart and which even neglect could not wither. And then you were gone, pattering up the stairs. Well, son, it was shortly afterwards that my paper slipped from my hands and a terrible sickening fear came over me. What has habit been doing to me? The habit of finding fault, of reprimanding, this was my reward to you for being a boy. It was not that I did not love you; it was that I expected too much of youth. I was measuring you by the yardstick of my own years. And there was so much that was good and fine and true in your character. The little heart of you was as big as the dawn itself over the wide hills. This was shown by your spontaneous impulse to rush in and kiss me good night. Nothing else matters tonight, son. I have come to your bedside in the darkness, and I have knelt there, ashamed! It is a feeble atonement; I know you would not understand these things if I told them to you during your waking hours. But tomorrow I will be a real daddy! I will chum with you, and suffer when you suffer, and laugh when you laugh. I will bite my tongue when impatient words come. I will keep saying as if it were a ritual: “He is nothing but a boy, a little boy!” I am afraid I have visualized you as a man. Yet as I see you now, son, crumpled and weary in your cot, I see that you are still a baby. Yesterday you were in your mother’s arms, your head on her shoulder. I have asked too much, too much. Look for the good in all people and understand them, if possible, and that makes the forgiveness process much easier to complete. A man by the name of Dr. Johnson once said…God himself, sir, does not purpose to judge man till the end of his days, then why should you or I. Dale Carnegie wrote these few words: Instead of condemning people, let’s try to understand them. Let’s try to figure out why they do what they do. That is a lot more profitable and intriguing than criticism and breeds sympathy tolerance and kindness. To know all is to forgive all. Now, oft times when we criticize someone we tell them and that is where the tongue gets us in trouble. I know personally, as I am sure that many of you have also, and probably with out realizing it hurt someone in some way with what you have said to them. This my friends is a given in life, it is a life experience. Have you ever had any one tell you, well I think that is a bad idea or don’t do that for some reason or other. We all have…. And the bad part about it is that we have returned the deed to someone else!! Through studying and the learning process on the principles of relationships, I have learned, that if you want your relations to people in any aspect of your life to change you need to love people and the only way to love them is to drop the criticism, and forgive……and the most important part is that if you feel the lack of friendship or love in your life the best way to change is…….to be willing to change. Remember you have to want to change, and only then will you be willing to change. God said what ever you give thus will I return unto you 100 fold!! What you sow … so shall you reap…..you my friend, you can plant the seed of forgiveness in your heart today and watch how your life changes. You will be impressed, and amazed at how it will give new meaning to your life as you watch your stress levels go down, because they will, and your life will have so much more color and beauty and you will see the great magnitude of Gods glorious abundance that he has promised us….. don’t think about it…… KNOW IT…..

THE GREATEST AND MOST POWERFULL

HELLO FRIENDS AND I GREATLY APOLOGIZE FOR NOT GETTING BACK IN HERE YESTERDAY TO SHARE THE THIRD STAGE, STEP, OR SEGMENT, TO LIVING A LIFE OF VARIFIABLY POSITIVE ENERGY…. AND AGAIN IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME WITH US PLEASE GRAB A CUP OF COFFEE, PULL UP A CHAIR AND TAKE THE TIME TO GO BACK AND READ THE OTHER POSTS TO HELP YOU GET THE FULL IMPACT OF THIS POST..... WELL, HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT AND FIGURED OUT THE THIRD STEP? I AM SURE THAT ONCE I TELL YOU, YOU WILL KNOW, AS PAUL HARVEY WOULD SAY, THE REST OF THE STORY. IT IS NOT SO MUCH KNOWING BUT UNDERSTANDING ALSO. KING SOLOMON SAYS MANY TIMES IN HIS BOOK OF PROFOUND WISDOM, WHICH WE ALL KNOW AS PROVERBS, HE SAYS THAT WISDOM NEEDS ITS COMPANION UNDERSTANDING. IT SO HAPPENS THAT THEY COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER. SO, I AM GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT THE THIRD STEP IS AND ASK THAT YOU READ ON AND LET ME SHOW YOU HOW AND WHY THEY ALL GO HAND IN HAND. THE THIRD STEP IS PROBABLY THE HARDEST. I CHOOSE IT FOR LAST FOR THIS REASON, BUT I AM DUELLY CONFIDENT THAT YOU CAN MASTER THIS STEP JUST LIKE THE OTHERS. HERE IT IS …..FORGIVNESS…..NOW THAT ISNT THAT BAD IS IT? MOST DEFINITLY NOT….OK, YOU ARE NOW READY TO HEAR THE HOW AND WHY. THE ACT OF FORGIVENESS ENTAILS ANY TRESSPASSES OF ONE TOWARDS ANOTHER. THIS IS NOT A PICK AND CHOOSE DEAL HERE FRIENDS, BUT ONE THAT IS ALL INCLUSIVE. IN MY BUSINESS DEALINGS, I HAVE ENCOUNTERED FROM TIME TO TIME PEOPLE THAT DON’T LIKE TO PAY FOR SERVICES; YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT A HARD THING TO DEAL WITH. IT PUTS YOU IN DIFFERENT HARDSHIPS WITH YOUR CREDITORS AND PAYING YOUR BILLS AND YOU CAN SPEND A LOT OF TIME PLAYING CATCH BACK UP. NOW IF YOU LOOK AT IT THE NEGATIVE WAY WE CAN GET REALLY TORTURED IN OUR MINDS AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS, THAT SITUATION OR PERSON BECOMES YOUR MASTER. I HAD A REALLY GOOD FRIEND TELL ME AN INTERESTING AND QUITE FRANKLY VERY PROFOUND THOUGHT THAT WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, IT IS VERY INSPIRING, HE SAID ….THAT SOMEBODY CAN ONLY TAKE AS MUCH OF YOUR HAPPINESS AWAY FROM YOU TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU ALLOW THEM TO. THINK ABOUT THAT,AND LETS PUT THAT INTO PLAY HERE. NOW, SAY THIS PERSON IS YOU AND YOUR CLIENT OR EMPLOYER DECIDES NOT TO PAY YOU FOR A WEEKS WAGES OR HIS PAST DUE BILL …..YOUR FIRST REACTION IS ONE OF DISGUST AND FRUSTRATION, YOU WANT YOUR MONEY, IT IS YOURS …YOU WORKED HARD FOR THAT MONEY…SO YOU GO TO THEM AND RAISE CAIN ABOUT THEM NOT PAYING YOU…..NOW LETS DO THE REALITY CHECK HERE….THINK ABOUT THE SITUATION AND HOW YOU CAN MAKE IT A WIN, WIN SITUATION FOR EVERYBODY. GETTING UPSET, THIS ACTION ONLY ENVOKES MORE ANGER AND STEALS BOTH PARTIES HAPPINESS, ALONG WITH CAUSING A BUNCH OF SCREAMING AND COMOTION THAT IS JUST WASTED ENERGY. BUT IMPLEMENTIG OUR THREE STEPS YOU WALK INTO YOUR EMPLOYERS OFFICE OR TALK WITH YOUR CLIENT AND YOU SAY, OK HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET THIS RESOLVED AND YOU HANDLE IT ON RESPECTFULL TERMS, SHOWING YOUR GRATITUDE FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH THEM AND THAT YOU ARE REALLY HAPPY HAVING DONE WHAT YOU DID FOR THEM, HERE ONE OF TWO THINGS IS GOING TO HAPPEN EITHER THAT PERSON IS GOING TO LOOK FOR THE CAUSE TO SEE WHAT THEY DID WRONG AND INTURN TRY TO MORE THAN COMPENSATE YOU FOR THE PROBLEMS THAT THEY CAUSED OR NOT CARE AND THINK THAT THEY ARE GOING TO WALK ALL OVER YOU. NOW YOU ARE ASKING ….WHAT IF THEY DO JUST WALK ALL OVER YOU? DID THEY REALLY, OR DID YOU JUST LET THEM. SEE IF YOU BLESS THEM AND TELL THEM POLITELY AND WITH ALL SINCERITY TO ENJOY THE GIFT, YOU JUST TOOK THE POWER FROM THEM TO WALK ON YOU. BY THIS YOU ARE SHOWING YOUR TRUST IN GOD, KNOWING THAT HIS COMPENSATION WILL BE MUCH, MUCH BETTER THAN THEIRS EVER COULD HAVE BEEN AND JUST BE HAPPY FORGIVING THE PERSON/S WHO WRONGED YOU KNOWING THAT YOU DID THE RIGHT THING BY BEING IN COMMAND OF YOURSELF.BY FORGIVING A DEBT AND JUST TELL THEM TO ENJOY YOUR GIFT. REMEMBER, YOU ARE THE MASTER OF YOUR OWN MIND AND HOW YOU USE IT, IS UP TO YOU. GOD PROMISED US THAT RIGHT AND WANTS US TO PARTAKE OF HIS GIFTS ……THANK ABOUT IT….

THE AMAZING JOURNEY ..PART 2

HEY YOU’RE BACK AND THAT IS SO WONDERFULL BUT IF YOU ARE WITH US FOR THE FIRST TIME WE WANT TO WISH YOU A WARM AND INSPIRING WELCOME. IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME TAKE THE TIME AND GO BACK A FEW POSTS AND ENJOY THE PREVIOUS THOUGHTS WHICH WILL GREATLY BENEFIT YOU IN FURTHER UNDERSTANDING WHAT WE TALK ABOUT HERE IN OUR TRAVELS TOGETHER THROUGH LIFE…..TODAY WE ARE GOING TO EXPLORE THE SECOND SECTION,STEP OR SEGMENT OF LIVING A LIFE OF VARAFIABLE POSITIVE ENERGY…..IF YOU HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING ALONG HERE YOU WILL HAVE PROBABLY GUESSED THE SECOND STEP IN OUR JOURNEY….HAPPINESS….WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT YOU MAY ASK, SO, LET ME EXPLAIN, WHAT IS HAPPINESS? WALKING AROUND LOOKING HAPPY? TRUE HAPPINESS COMES THROUGH BEING GRATEFULL. ---------------IF YOU ARE GRATEFULL FOR WHAT YOU CURRENTLY HAVE THIS INCLUDES MATERIAL BLESSINGS, PERSONEL BLESSINGS OR SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS, YOU WILL BE TRULY HAPPY. HAPPINESS IS A FEELING OF CONTENTMENT, NOT THAT YOU CANT HAVE GOALS OR ASPIRATIONS TO BE SOMETHING MORE OR HAVE A MORE FULLFILLING LIFE BUT TO JUST BE HAPPY AND TRULY GRATEFULL WITH THE MANY THINGS THAT ENABLE YOU TO HAVE THOSE GOALS. HERE, LET ME TELL YOU A STORY OUT OF THE BIBLE TO HELP ILLUSTRATE THIS POINT. WE ALL KNOW ABOUT GODS PEOPLE THE ISEREALITES OR JEWS…WE ALL HAVE HEARD THE STORY OF THE PLEAGUES AND THEIR STRUGGLES IN CAPTIVITY, HOW GOD BROUGHT THEM OUT OF EGYPT AND CAPTIVITY TO GO TO THE LAND OF CANAAN/OR LAND OF MILK AND HONEY. HERE WE SEE THAT GOD HAD A GREAT PLAN FOR THEM AND MADE THE EVENTS TO PASS THAT WOULD ALLOW HIM, MEANING GOD, TO SHOW HIS INFINITE POWER ANDGREAT BLESSINGS. DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT THE PEOPLE SAID? WHERE IS MOSES TAKING US? HE BROUGHT US OUT OF OUR BONDAGE TO SUFFER AND DIE HERE IN THE WILDERNESS; WE WERE BETTER BACK THERE IN BONDAGE! LET’S TAKE A MINUTE TO THINK ABOUT THAT. WERE THEY GRATEFULL THAT GOD HAD FREED THEM? WERE THEY HAPPY? WERE THEY WILLING TO TRUST HIM? THE ANSWER IS NO, NOT AT ALL. THE HISTORY OF THIS EVENT IS MAGNIFICENTLY BEAUTIFUL AND THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS TO LEARN FROM THIS BUT THE GREATEST IS TO UNDERSTAND THE PRINCEPALS OF TRUE GRATITUDE AND THEREFORE FOLLOWING IT WITH TRUE HAPPINESS. THE JEWS CONTINUED TO WALK ON THROUGH THE WIDERNESS AND IF YOU READ THE EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE THEY ONLY SUFFERED WHEN THEY WERE NOT GRATEFULL, WHEN THEY WERE NOT CONTENT AND FOCUSED ON GOD AND TRUSTED HIM WITH THEIR LIVES.

SUCCESSFULLY FINDING THE ANSWERS

HOW DO YOU RELATE TO YOUR WIFE? YOUR CHILDREN? YOUR PARENTS ,COWORKERS AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON…..THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT TWO MAIN PRINCEPALS ON THE INTERACTION WITH OTHERS…DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE? SOME OF YOU ,IM SURE ,HAVE ALREADY FIGURED IT OUT, OTHERS MAY BE LIKE OK WELL WHICH TWO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT AND OTHERS MAY NOT HAVE A CLUE….WELL THE FIRST AND FOREMOST IS(DRUM ROLL)…….LOVE…..WOW, SO YOU REALLY DID ALREADY KNOW ….WELL LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, DO YOU KNOW ANYBODY WHO DOESN’T WANT TO BE LOVED? I DON’T, EVEN THE COLDEST OF THE COLDEST WANTS LOVE. THEY MAY BE THE WAY THEY ARE FOR A REASON OR REASONS OF LOVE, BEEN HURT IN SOME LOVE ENGAGENT OF FRIENDSHIP OR CHILDHOOD OR WHO KNOWS WHAT REASON…BUT IT HAS TO DO WITH LOVE…..THIS IS THE WAY I LOOK AT THE WORD LOVE LIKE THIS…. L = LIFE O = OF V = VARIFIABLE POSITIVE E = ENERGY HUH? ..A LIFE OF VARIFIABLE POSITIVE ENERGY ... ? I KNOW THAT YOU WANT ME TO EXPLAIN SO HERE IT IS…IF YOU LIVE A LIFE OF VARIFIABLE POSITIVE ENERGY WHAT IS IT GOING TO BE LIKE? WELL LETS BREAK IT DOWN INTO TWO SECTORS OR SECTIONS. OF COURSE WE ALL KNOW WHAT LIFE IS ….THE BASIC TRANSITION OF DAY TO DAY PROCEEDINGS AND EVENTS. AND OF COURSE WE ALL KNOW WHAT VERIFIABLY POSITIVE ENERGY IS….BUT JUST IN CASE YOU DON’T LET ME EXPLAIN….VERIFIABLE: SOMETHING SEEN BY MANY OR EVERYONE AND PRONOUNCED AS TRUE…POSITIVE: having a good effect, OR THE BEING OF a positive role model OR BEING Optimistic AND ALWAYS HAVING A positive point of view. ENRGY: THE OUTWARD PROJECTION OF INNER THOUGHTS, FEELINGS AND DESIRES TOWARDS OTHERS AND THE PERSONS OWN LIFE. NOW I KNOW YOU UNDERSTAND AND THAT YOU AGREE SO WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON INTO EXACTLY WHAT THIS MEANS FOR US IN OUR LIVES….. OK NOW IF YOU LIVE A LIFE OF VARIFIABLE POSITIVE ENERGY WHAT WILL YOU DO? HOW ARE YOUR ACTIONS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT THEY MAY BE NOW? THIS TYPE OF LIFE STYLE IS A THREE PART LIFE STYLE.....TODAY PEOPLE THINK OF IT LIKE THIS EAT DRINK AND BE HAPPY…WELL THE CORRECT WAY TO BE IS NOT THAT AT ALL…WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DO THAT ANYWAY? YA GET FAT, DRUNK, DO STUPID THINGS AND YOU REALLY ARENT THAT HAPPY. HAVE YOU HEARD THE SAYING…. IGNORANCE IS BLISS… MY MOM TOLD MY THAT SINCE IGNORANCE WAS BLISS THAT I MUST BE ONE OF THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. LET ME TELL YOU FRIEND THERE IS A BETTER LIFE THAN THIS AND THAT IS A LIFE OF VARIFIABLY POSITIVE ENERGY. THE FIRST PART TO THIS IS….GRATITUDE OR THANKFULNESS. NOW WHY IS THAT SO IMPORTANT? HOW CAN YOU BE POSITIVE IF YOU ARE NOT GRATEFULL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE OR WHO YOU ARE? ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL THINGS A PERSON CAN DO TO CHANGE THEIR LIFE IS TO JUST BE GRATEFULL,NOT ACT GRATEFULE BUT REALLY FEEL IT. THIS ONE COMMONLY UNEXERCISED STEP CAN LEAD YOU TO THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE REST. I HAVE WORKED IN THE FIELD OF CONSTRUCTION AND ALSO OF BEING SELF EMPLOYED AND IN BOTH OF THESE FIELDS, LIKE MANY OTHERS, IT IS EASY TO LOOSE SITE OF WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO THE HUMANE SYSTEM OR OUR HAPPINESS. NOW, TAKE A MINUTE AND THINK HERE ABOUT THIS, WHAT IS/ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING/S IN A PERSONS LIFE? THE MOST COMMONLY ANSWERED ARE FAMILY AND FRIENDS.NOW TAKE A MOMENT TO PONDER WHAT YOUR LIFE WOULD BE WITH OUT THESE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE AND WHAT DO THEY MEAN TO YOU……HOW ARE YOU OR NOT ,GRATEFULL FOR THESE PEOPLE. DO YOU SHOW OR GIVE THEM YOUR LIFE OF VARIFIABLY POSITIVE ENERGY…..THINK ABOUT IT….

GOD AND OUR MENTAL HEALTH

IN THE LAST POST YOU WERE ABLE TO SEE HOW ONE LITTLE ACTION OF LOVE OR GIVING CAN CHANGE YOU MENTAL ADDITUDE TOWARDS WORK OR ANY OTHER ASPECT OF LIFE THAT YOU WANT TO CHANGE BUT ONLY IF YOU WANT TO. IT IS A COMMON THREAD OF THOUGHT THROUGH OUT THE WORLD TODAY THAT GODS WORD (OTHERWISE KNOW AS THE BIBLE) IS A PIECE OF LITURATURE THAT IS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND, SO IN THINKING THIS, IT IS ALSO NOT REALLY FULLY APPRECIATED. AS YOU KNOW MANY TODAY THINK OF IT AS A BOOK THAT HAS MANY SHORT STORIES IN IT ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD,AND HOW GOD HAS DONE THIS OR THAT. WE AS HUMANS TEND TO GO WITH THE FLOW AND WHEN WE SEE OTHER PEOPLE OR FRIENDS AND FAMILY THAT YOU ASSOCIATE WITH ON A DAILY BASIS THINKING ALONG THESE LINES YOU TEND TO GO WITH THE FLOW. OFT TIMES THE CHANCE ISNT GIVEN OR TAKEN TO EVEN READ THE BIBLE TO SEE IF YOU CAN UNDERSTAND IT. LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION HERE....DO YOU HAVE PROBLEMS IN YOU LIFE? DO YOU HAVE A FEELING OF EMPTINESS OR SUCH THAT YOU BATTLE WITH DAILY? DO YOU KNOW THAT THE BIBLE HAS ALL THE ANSWERS? YOU ARE ASKING YOURSELF WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY ALL THE ANSWERS.....

HAPPINESS IS AS HAPPINESS DOES....

DO YOU FEEL TIRED OR EXHAUSTED MOST OF THE TIME ? MAYBE EVEN A LITTLE DEPRESSED? SOME TIMES WE LIVE IN OUR PAST SO MUCH THAT OUR MASTERS TAKE CONTROL OVER OUR VERY BEINGS AND REALLY DONT LET US ENJOY WHAT LIFE HAS TO OFFER. LET ME KINDA GIVE AN EXAMPLE HERE ... IT MAY BE THAT A CO WORKER AND YOU DONT GET ALONG AND YOU HAD SOME RATHER STRONG WORDS... THIS DICTATES HOW YOU FEEL AT WORK... WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU CHANGED A LITTLE AND JUST WENT IN HAPPY... SAY GOODMORNING AND OFFER THEM A CUP OF COFFEE... OR WHAT EVER A PASTERY OR JUST SOMETHING THEY WOULD LIKE ...THEY WOULD LOOK AT YOU FUNNY ... BUT YOU JUST BE A GOOD SPORT AND REALLY TRY TO SHOW THEM LOVE AND KINDNESS... CAN YOU IMAGINE THE CHANGE IN THE RELATIONSHIP... YOU MAY BECOME GREAT FRIENDS OR WHATEVER BUT YOU WOULD HAVE RELEASED THEM OF DUTY!!!! THIS PROCESS IS GAURENTEED TO WORK IN ANY SITUATION...THINK ABOUT IT!!!

CREATING THE NEW MASTER......YOU

Take a minute and think about that....You might be saying well I dont have a master...or ...this guy is crazy they stopped slavery years ago....or whatever but we all have many master, but we need to take charge of our selves and release them of duty Webster says: One having authority over another Take a look if you will at your life .... do you have a master?....you may be saying @#$! no!! Bet you do. Is there sombody that you havent forgiven for something that they have done to you?.... This creates a master....one that rules your personnel happiness... do you see what I mean? ...Think about it....

YOUR MIND....WHO IS YOUR MASTER

HOW CAN WE BE BETTER IF WE DONT TRY TO GET TO OUR ROOT? ROOT: the essential core THIS IS WHAT WEBSTER HAS TO SAY ABOUT A ROOT. WHAT IS YOUR ESSENTIAL CORE? WHERE DO ALL OF YOUR THOUGHTS ORIGINATE? WHAT ARE YOU TIED TO? WHAT OR WHO IS YOUR MASTER?
