Satisfy Me?
I write, and if you’ve ever been entertained by my words I appreciate it; but I’m not an entertainer nor a performer. My goal for writing is the same as my goal for living; to live life in a manner that inspires others to be and do better… You want to satisfy me? Don’t applaud me and tell me you enjoyed my words; become a better human. Yeah, that would satisfy me immensely.
Do You Understand?
I have nothing to prove. I don’t need to make any affirmations of my arrival, greatness, or success. I am not interested in your hollow praise or the pedestal you’ve built for me that you intend to kick over in a rage of jealousy; I’ll happily stand on the earth God built. Enthusiastically do God’s work. Love you unconditionally whether you choose to reciprocate it or not. I have one mission and it’s not to be accepted by you. Do you understand me yet?
Failure is not Hereditary
Children who carry the scars of their parents failure often make the mistake of striving to be all the things their parents weren’t instead of all the things that God created you to be. Who you “can be” is not limited by what your parents were. Failure is not hereditary, and the moment you stop being scared that you’ll turn out like them is the moment the whole world will greet you with blessings.
