Network is your Net Worth

So you hit a bump in the road and your thrown off the course of plan. Just when everything was looking good and life appeared as if it was going to fall in place better than even you expected a sudden change occurs. A change that is so great the picture went from being colorful to black and white, and finally to now just a blank screen. It’s like all you can see in the television is your own reflection and your not liking what you see. It appears life is pressing down on you as if progress has stopped and you can’t move forward to the next level. You’re not really alone but at the same time there is no sweat music in the background to lighten your situation. So the question is what do you do?

Let me tell you first what anyone would say, pick yourself up. Yeah easier said then done right, we have all been there. Today I am going to give you a full proof way to get out the rut, depression, sadness, and whatever else you want to call it. There is only one-way to this and you have to listen carefully to the steps. The first thing you must do is ask yourself this very one question. How did I get to where I am today and how long did it take me to get here? Once you figure that out then you know it could take just as long to get out and you have to do a 180-degree turn to start going in the opposite direction. Don’t do a 360-degree turn around because then your still head down the same path. The next thing you need to do is surround yourself with a people that can uplift you and bring about the charter you are looking to become. I once heard Darnell Self a self-made millionaire say that the size of your bank account is a direct reflection with the five people you spend the most time with. This meaning your net worth is equal to your network. I would like to take that and twist it a little and say that the level of your esteem is equal to the 5 people you hang around the most. So this is a direct correlation into the theory your net worth (what you are worth to yourself inside) is equal to your network.
The third thing and the most important thing that relates to number two is stop worrying about what everyone around you thinks or says. Do not let them determine your net worth, or should I say don’t let them determine who you are. God is your most important critic and your only critic that matters the rest is blasphemy. Can’t you see the picture coming back? The fourth thing is set a plan of action in place. The bible tells us make it plain. So I tell you do just that write it out plain and pray engage in conversation with Lord asking if this is what is in his plan for you to do. Finally find something that can take up some of your time rather it be working out, writing, playing games, or doing volunteer work. Make sure your mind has little if any ideal time to think of the things that got you in the position you are in and currently walking out of.

RELATIONSHIP POWER

Okay, so I took a break for a while from the writing lab and now I’m back to once again challenge your mind as well as give your eyes a sight to read. We all walk our path through life searching for direction and wondering if we are taking the proper course. Many of us engage in several relationships through the course of our life, some of them we call friends and others are on a more personal level and possible could be…. well you know that one.

Many of us encounter a time in life where we begin to become perplexed by the challenge of imagining being with just one person the rest of our lives. We have trust issues with those we become involved with, as well as we have issues becoming one together with an individual. Where do these problems stem from? Why are we so caught up in the negative things that can take place in a relationship, like getting hurt for the several reasons that are out there? The sad part is when the negative things take place we act all surprised as if we were not already thinking the worse anyway. Let me back up we don’t only think the worst we speak the worst. Women all on the phone with their so called friends being encouraged to go out with the other man, or more then likely talking about how he does not do this or do that. Men I have not forgotten us, I’m guilty myself and the bad part is once again the power is in the tongue. We sit and praise one another for sleeping with multiple women as if that is the thing to do, and then we turn around and act like we are sinning for making a commitment to one woman. Don’t we all have it backwards guys?

There is no one commandment greater than to love. So I ask you all are you ready for the challenge this year. The challenge to be really committed to someone you love. I challenge you to love deeper then you ever loved before. Pray and have trust in the lord to keep your relationship pure. Finally I challenge you all to rid your relationship of the negative thoughts that persuade you to do negative things and purify your tongue of the negative lashing you speak into the atmosphere for not only yourself but your friends as well. If you’re ready to take the relationship challenge you don’t have to tell anyone but yourself and pray to God to help you.
