Let me know what yall think... "After several unproductive arguements with people I care about., I've come to the realization that miscommunication is the death of success! Two heads are better than one in any senario involving progressIon and or expansion, but discord divides and damages the strength of teamwork. Miscommunication, selfishness, and pride are at the root of discord which will inevitably put a strangle hold on any momentum towards your success. I believe that succes in it's purest form is simply to reach one's goal; whatever that goal may be. That said, I am now making a consious effort to communicate more effectively with my friends, family, and business associates. Collectively the aforementioned people are my supporting cast in life. They all have a role in my success.. I will avoid miscommunications with my supporting cast by first acknowledging my charaacter flaws and making a consious effort to eliminate these negative traits.. These flaws include selfishness, bad anger management, lack of patience, and in most cases greed. I will avoid miscommunications with my supporting cast by thouroughly analyzing all my disagreements though unbiased counsel. I will also use the tools of empathy, forgiveness, patience, humility, and true love(self sacrifice) to avoid miscommunication with my supporting cast. Success is not about who was right or wrong. it's about continuing to move toward the goal. " I wrote this way back in 2006, but it's some of "the realist S--- I ever wrote!".

The desire of wealth can keep you from gaining wealth. I took a second and really checked myself w/ God's Word. God said; "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." <a target="_new" href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+6:33&version=KJV">Matthew 6:33 After really examining myself I realized; I think like most people.. Some people want riches so that they can get respect and be envied. Some people want riches so they can just feel like everything in life will be okay. I've thought on several occasions, "If I could just get my hands on $1,000,000 I'd be STRAIGHT!!!", but would everything really be okay? Who is the focus? What am I putting my trust in? I thought about it and had to repent! Whose to blame for our <a target="_new" href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/idolatry">idolatry (execessive devotion to riches)? I say it's the music, the movies, TV etc . I've never been too big on "Keepin up with the Jones", but I've been a faithful practitioner of "Get Rich or Die Tryin". I'm not blaming our issues on the rappers, but I"m realizing that getting rich should not be my focus. Working in my "God purpose" should be the focus. The ironic thing is that God has crafted in all of us the ability to obtain financial wealth, and when your focus is pointed in the right direction, the wealth comes. I've got a gang of examples that prove my theory, not to mention it is backed up by the WORD. What yall think ??? I'm changin up my focus!!! I'm gon speak on this again in a book when I'm rich... LOL!!!! D Mez out...

"I am a Christian" I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'." I'm whispering "I was lost, Now I 'm found and forgiven." When I say... "I am a Christian" I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak And need His strength to carry on. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed And need God to clean my mess. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not claiming to be perfect, My flaws are far too visible But, God believes I am worth it. When I say... "I am a Christian" I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches So I call upon His name. When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not holier than thou, I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow! Maya Angelou  

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I 'm found and forgiven."

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow!
