Who Am I?

There comes a point on our journey where this question comes up and baffles me each and every time. You get a sense of something greater but no idea what to do or how to bring it about. Well, this is where I am. I know that I was created to do more than just a nine-to-five. I know that I haven't gone through all the obstacles and the "protocols, policies, and procedures" of life for just nothing. There is something...But what? I can't quite put my hand on...What about you? Have you asked yourself this question lately? I woke up with this on the brain and can't help but wonder why I am here at this particular time in history. This is the stuff that keeps me living because I'm not satisfied with things the way they are because I know that I was created for so much more.

This is where I get into trouble because so many people think that because I'm not satisfied with things the way they are, that I must be arrogant or "stuck-up" or whatever the case...I don't care I'm just one who wants to make sure my life has meaning. The Reverend Caesar Clark was running a revival in Atlanta back in the day and opened up the revival with this quote that has stuck with me and continues to be the impetus for everything I do. "When I die, will it matter that I was even born?"

This question often brings paralysis to my mind and conceives in my spirit the tenacity needed to get up and give everything that I'm doing even more fervor than I've given. I can't die until I'm well ready and able to say that I've finished my course. I know that what I'm experiencing right now with the "wrangling" that I go through on a constant is only par for the course and what we all have to do is use the dirt that manipulation, power, and control throws our way for the greater good. You have to see things in a different light and remember that come what may, you were created for something greater.

Like I've said, don't sweat the small stuff, don't give people the power and control that they so desperately desire. It's not worth it because at the end of the day, they're the ones who have imprisoned themselves in their own minds. LYFE is what you make it. Dare to discover what the ALMIGHTY has in store for your life. I challenge you to look past the power struggle...Look past the manipulation...Look past the need from others to be in control...And see the big picture. See yourself for who you were created to be...Who am I? Who are you?

Now that's straight up talk...
