Sow Seeds of Greatness

A wise man said (my pastor) that everything that you hear, watch, and speak is a seed that is being planted in your heart. I've heard the seed principle before but I guess it is just now hitting home. It really tripped me out to think that anything that I watch on TV or the movies and any music I listen to is leaving a deposit in me, good or bad. What's more, the very words that I speak and allow others to speak to me are also seeds being sown in my heart that will one day yield a habit. Now I am more determined to be more cautious about what I allow to enter the gates of my body and to be more proactive about planting the right stuff inside me. They say a person's true character is revealed when either great success or tragedy comes to them. Everything that they have put inside themselves and who they are is revealed in those defining moments. I want to be able to have good things flow out of me when either circumstance reveals itself.

The Masculine Soul (Volume 1)

Before I begin, I should warn all readers that this blog post is highly subjective and is written by an author with a broken heart at this point in time.

It is my personal opinion and heartfelt conviction that we are living in a time where the masculine soul is under vigorous attack in the spiritual realm. I know that's deep. Follow me, over the years we have witnessed the downward spiral of manhood. A huge part of this problem stems from men. We must take a great portion of the blame for why we are losing our identity to street life, crime, prison, homosexuality, drugs, alcohol abuse, infidelity, greed, hatred, etc. We have given up our rights and privileges and position to the enemy and have allowed him to take over our homes, education system, churches, businesses, leisure activities, and government. The good news is, is that if we will wake up from our slumber, we have a great opportunity to change direction and get back on the path we were created for. Men, we must look ourselves in the mirror everyday and examine ourselves to see if we are still connected with our God, families, and communities. We must be brutally honest with ourselves, if we are not, we stand to lose a generation (which we are very close to). We must make the tough decisions that will lead to our healing. Only once we do this can we be reinstated back into our rightful place! Kings, Warriors, and Priests before our God, families, and communities.

It's The Law!!!

Good Morning friends and family. My beautiful and intelligent wife Menzelle Jacobs is in the process of going to law school and as many of you know, law school carries a hefty price tag. We are asking that if you know of any scholarships of other aid (besides FASFA),please send that information to us. We know that there is money out there, we just need your help to find it. Also if you are moved to do so yourself, there is a website that we will be setting up in the next couple of weeks that people can donate to for this noble cause. Please foward to your respective networks. Who knows, she may be representing you one day in the court of law. Thanks for your seen and unseen support!!!

Lose Yourself to become Great

As I continue to mature into adulthood,I notice that many of my peers are in pursuit of greatness, myself included. A lot of us go about it all wrong though, myself included. Greatness does not lie in how much money I have, nor how much influence I am able to flex, nor how many accomplishments I make. Greatness is found in caring about others in such a way that you put the good of others before your own. I don't mean neglect yourself or be weird and feel like you have to save all of humanity at your own expense. It's really simple, let go of your ego sometimes and be willing to serve people. Service comes in many forms. I have recently seen the profound impact of just accepting and letting other people give me advice (which I have a hard time doing). That does wonders for people, just to know that their point of view is valued. Another way of serving is allowing others to lead you even when you feel you are more qualified (or maybe just ready to get out on your own). I'm still figuring out this whole losing yourself in order to be great business. Even though it is painful to swallow my pride,it is so refreshing when I see the impact it has on other people and even to my own peace of mind.I encourage you to find and area that you can stand to lose and sky dive into this practice (let go of yourself). That is where you will find your greatness.
