Fearlessly Individual


As promised, while having some quiet time yesterday I thought about the whole idea and concept of being fearlessly individual. And let me say this, from the outset, the breadth and depth of the human experience is far too involved for me to speak on the matter in one or two postings. But I want to at least give some coverage of the matter.

Fearlessly individual is about owning your own life experiences. Hypothetically speaking, do you like being you? I know that we all have adversity and challenges but intermixed with all of that is something special, and people who are fearlessly individual can create and envision great things out of their life experiences. The movie Catch Me if You Can comes to mind. Why? In this story the actor was everyone else but himself. How fulfilling could that be? But when you can be the main character in your own life, it can be the most enjoyable experience there is.

Now let me clarify lest someone misinterprets*. Other people inspire us, share with us, allow us to celebrate their life and give us ideas for our own life. And that's precisely the point. You don't have to take someone else's life or become someone else; you can be inspired by people to be the best you can be. That's being fearlessly individual. And combine that with others who do the same and you have something awesome!

 Yesterday I was watching an interview on On Demand. It was great. Because the interview was so real, it made me contemplate my own life. This happened several times over and over. That something worth sharing, is what set leaders and successful people apart. They leave you with a light bulb moment something that may reinforce what you were feeling or something altogether new. Whatever it is, it makes a lasting impression that will probably stay with you a long time.

For me, it was the thought, that however important you are, or the thing you do, love and the quality of life you have in your success is the anchor that really makes any success enjoyable. And I would venture to say, that is the case for everyone.

Note: In life we will have all types of experiences some good some bad. But at the end of the day, through, learning, redemption, faith etc... we learn to create hopefully something wonderful- a life we enjoy.

Moments in Love (I shared this with you in 2013) I thought it was a great way to say hello again and wish you Happy Valentines Day

Moments in Love (Reflections by Taneisa Grier) Real & true love isn't sacrificial. Only fools choose to loose time for tomorrows that aren't promised. It's our "todays" love that even carries us to the future love. Find me a "man" who’s experienced health and prosperity and see if he discounts love as being a measure of that blessing. To each its own though. But for me-bid me a love that is true and sweet. A memory of a portion of "good" love may seem like forever in a short span of time. The feeling never leaving and the essence of a touch, though fading still remembered.   "I traced his steps back to the place" where I first exhaled and realized the beauty of this moment is in the feelings that I carry away after the exchange. If fleeting, we might call it lust. But if this pure moment is lasting, we have just seen the love of God in each of us, mirrored reflection of "on earth as it is in heaven". Might I be a b...

Stairwells to the 2nd-3rd Floor Pretty Uncommon in Hospitals

I really was hesitant to write about this on my blog. The content seemed a bit dark and well not the news topic I wanted to write about on Awesome. But I couldn't help it. I was compelled because I thought for all the steps one would take on their pedometer, in some places, it would begin once you took the elevator to the 2nd floor hmmm. Getting to the point- I realized how easy it was for a women to be in the stairwell of a hospital and not be found until several days or weeks afterwards, and that's because many health professionals at hospitals don't take the stairs. What!!!!! That's right long gone are the days for steps you once trekked in jr. high, high school and college. So what if something is wrong with elevator well there must be a plan C because plan B is likely not the steps. To be fair I can understand why you'd monitor the steps and the hospitals. They should be. Good security never hurts. However, to not know the diagram or layout makes my eyes wide...

Back to School and kind gestures

So I think we're in to the swing of things. Children have an idea of teacher's expectations are and teachers have done a few assessments on their students and where their strengths and weaknesses allow. You're past the back to school jitters and have begun to actually build on the learning and education you received last year. This is why this post isn’t really amount the traditional aspect of education but about character building. I know it's a sensitive subject at times but it's time to observe and correct our children in terms of behavior. For those of you who don't have to do it it's wonderful you've probably done a great job in those early years and it's second nature for a student to think about their behavior and how they represent their family away from home. If I can digress for a minute, growing up that was a big conversation piece at our dinner table. We were always told when you walk out that door you represent our family. I don't ...
