It comes with the territory.

This is some advice that should prove fruitful, to those in leadership role/potential business developers/honestly successful persons. There will be those that will in some way and for whatever reason try and hinder your growth, those that will visit this burden on you are in one or more of these categories;  #1 those who for whatever reason has insecurities, #2 those you try to bring into a better way for living, #3 those who hang on and pretending to be your support, just to get a piece of what you have, and or all of it. Being blessed to have live as long as I have, and experienced  all of what's previously stated, I believe, gives me authority to try and advise those that will accept it. If you have a vision and with great passion to one day accomplish it, I strongly suggest; you go head on into your quest, and concern yourselves not, with anyone that might slow you up if not for, reason that has substance for whatever time to be lost. The time spent trying to help those that can't be help, and or not understand your drive for whatever reason, is like trowing sand into a blowing fan, and expecting it to go through. When going after desire/goal the grinder can't allow for any non substance reason, anything/anyone to interfere with his/her travel forward. You that are on these quest, expect to be hated, lied on, misunderstood and badly talk about; it comes with the territory.

Grandpa fell off the swing.

A young lady was sitting on the porch and talking to her grand parents while on their double swing.The young lady asked her grand  father, how is it they could be together over fifty years, he replied; "baby, you have to be blessed with tough skin", she than said; " I'm sure grandma did things at times that bother you", he responded; "yes, but when she's in her schizophrenic moments, I go to the other side of the house", smiling,  looking at her grand mother, she asked; "grandma, how could you put up with him all these years." after spitting tobacco on his shoe she replied; "you have to have tough skin, all of these years when in romance moments, and he becomes New York second; I gently rub his big head and lie to him.",  Grandpa fell off the swing.

Perishing for lack f knowledge.

Life being the precious thing that it is, and it really not being understood as being that; causes me to be alarmed, reason being; There are to many lives being wasted, ruined, cut short and not reaching purpose intended. When there is not the ability, for whatever reason, of not knowing what actually is; life and all of the treasures stored in it, are never attained, and if so, only for a short time and is lost because of such void. Let use for example; when there are two or more involved in association of whatever kind, and, there become a disagreement; there are decisions made in a moment and when clear thinking has left the building, which has, and can cause the lost of what was meant to be.There are so must potential greatness that has been not realized, simply because; of not knowing what someone else has deep inside of them, and or judging others with the limited ability clothing of your own character. If the truth be told, all of us are in someway guilty of these crimes, either in time past, or will be in time to come if  there is not and arresting of this ignorance. As the older wise ones say; "if you really want too know what you thank you know; keep living."

"so many treasures not realized, and or lost; is because of ignorance"....Coach James Joseph.

Whose hand really on the button?

How is it, anyone can expect politicians/school teacher/outside mentor to change behavior of those, which are carbon copies of where they're based. It would be as putting your hand in fire, and believing it to be cold if you believe; something can come out different than what's inside of it. There is a war going on in today's society, and, an explosion has occurred, it's dust has blown across the plains, affecting those with out the mask of common sense. If a kid, or adult has been brought up where respect isn't, how is it possible for the displaying of it. There are to many people trying to shift the blame on others concerning, for whatever reason  lacking in their responsibility. Life has in it's realm two lanes for acceptance, and all travelers come from a base (the home), whatever comes out of these homes intermingles with the other, if it's a bomb; the one with the hand on the Atomic Button is?

Diamond are worked for.

When great beauty seems to be walked by, or not notice, it doesn't mean it's value is diminished. Every great diamond that's ever been discovered, was before, covered in the ruff. Only those that knew of what's a diamond worth, could, and would do the hard work of searching and or digging to find it. There isn't a God created precious stone, that can be, any other thing than what it is, those that pass by and not notice, are really those that or not diamond collectors/cutters. There is a blessing being greatly misunderstood, that being; when precious beauty, feels as been passed by, when, it only means; a glass cutter is somewhere close to a precious stone. Its yet to be reported, that a diamond seeked out to find the diamond cutter. Precious stones are seeked out because of it's worth.

Because, of really not knowing.

Being graced to have been given life all of these years, has allowed me time for researching my past history, and to understand why some things happen, and possible happenings to come. The path of life I've travel so far, has been, what I might say interesting. My been brought up in a home where family was very close, and I mean that literally lol!!, there were seven people in two rooms and a dog. My parents hugged, taught, disciplined us when needed. Things as dining, recreation, TV, radio, was experienced in a family unit, or supervised by a responsible adult. As of the times for my entering adulthood, those experiences and even up to now, allows me reason for being thankful for my upbringing. I have seen, that even my own at times strayed away from sound teachings/convictions caused me, unfruitful times with those/that having no value for that time wasted. I can say, without doubt; life has taught me to make sure that I get myself together in all areas, that being ; mentally and physical. This path of life has in it that/those, which can be, and are proposed for tangibleness in your life in some way, but; without you're being with the ability for discerning, those/that which has purpose for deceiving, ruining, destroying; will also be allowed entrance in your life. I've in my what I believe to be purpose in life; mentoring and training of young people in athletics (mainly boxing), have come across those that gives great meaning to the saying; "wolves in sheep clothing" (athletes included). There have been times when I've been blessed, through moments of disagreements to see actually what a person's character truly was. There are moment in life which some happenings and or disagreements causes, rush to judgment, the lost of what truly has worth, because; of not knowing; being Unequally yoked can also mean; not for whatever reason sharing, or being able to carry in the moment, the same burdens.
