Back to the Middle

Who defines our success?

Is it defined by where we live, where we work, or who we socialize with?

No matter where you are in life this very moment, one thing that is certain is that we all got here the same way.

Life has a way of tossing us to and fro and it is up to us individually to find our path in life but quite often, we need help.

Since the beginning of time, there has always been the haves and the have not. While there have been many fortunate to prosper, there have been many left to be among the have not.

Matthew 20:16 Says that the last shall become first.

My question is where are you in line right now? Are you among the first that have been ambitious, employed, and so far removed from the day to day struggles of life that you have forgotten or have no clue what it is like to be without? Or are you among the last, the group that society has sadly given up on. The three “u” group: the under educated, unemployed, and uncouth.

I believe that there is room for everyone in the middle.

In the middle you can learn from one another. In the middle you can understand one another. In the middle you can help one another.

I challenge everyone to take a long look in the mirror. Are you all that you desire to be? Is there more to be done? Can you say that I have truly contributed to the uplifting of the “down trodden”.

There are people that need your help to make it to the next level…not by words, but by actions.

Consider starting a workshop, etc based on experiences that you have encountered. President Obama said it best when he said that we must serve. It is time to save our generations; not by staying within our element but stepping out of it. After some time, the impact that you make will far exceed your first impression.

Invest your time, talent and skills. The return will be worth more than gold.

Come Back to the Middle!
