Trust

There is actually a lot of nice little quotes on Pinterest and you can re-pin pictures (you can visit my Board there by clicking .  Here’s one of the images I re-pinned (works like re-tweeting), just like recycling..

Anyway, I thought it was pretty cool.  Here’s one:

I believe in this one taken from the Book of Proverbs .. the Book of Proverbs contains so much wise nuggets there.  I have listened to a positive audio interview one time, and this prosperous guy (I forgot his name .. ) just told about his story, he was down in the dumps both financially and spiritually and a Christian friend of his advised for this guy to read the book of Proverbs, to start something, but to be led by the principles taught in the Book of Proverbs.  This one was the verse that he started with.

When I started with Empower Network, as I mentioned in my earlier blog posts that I prayed hard about the decision.  IN FACT, I even asked for prayers from other Christians to just pray that I get clarity of mind before I make and commit to this decision (because I am just so tired of being and feeling like a fool!) .  Everything just sort of fell into place.

There is something truly magical and empowering that happened during the Austin Texas event.  These are all REAL authentic people who are making things happen, not only for themselves but for others.  I have been just blown away with what has happened to these people who have been where most of us are — looking for something, something better, something that would give meaning to our existence, something that would help us recognize our need to be IN CHARGE of our lives and not be like a paper boat that gets tossed at sea.

God created us.  He didn’t create us just to exist.  It is our job to find out what our assignment is in this life.  When we were born, we are like a fruit seed.  If we were born to become an apple?  As that seed grows into an apple tree – that’s what we become, and we will bear apples. (An apple seed cannot possibly grow into an orange!)

That I think becomes to almost all of us, we are raised to be like this or like that, to be educated in a certain school, to follow certain cultural mores, and then we feel that emptiness and confusion as we forget that this is OUR life, and nobody else will live it, but us.  So why should we leave the decision making to other people?

So, in my opinion, it is important that we put our trust and acknowledge the One who created our brain so we can be directed to what we are supposed to do.

Last night I finished building a Forum for my team.  It contains what I believe, after observation, after my own studies, I thought I would create something that will help guide others.  Because if I am to succeed at this, I have to be able to pass on what I know.  I cannot force people to do as I do.  They have to make that decision themselves.  And when they do?  They’d know where to go.

What I can do is make the resources available to them so that when they feel lost, they could refer to something that I have already learned on my own.  They won’t feel lost, like how I felt lost when I began.

When you join me and my team?  We will help lift each other up.  This is a business for committed entrepreneurs, like me.  And one thing that has been crystallized for me when I attended the Empower Network Event in Austin was, I found a company that I will grow old with.  (Well, a company I can spend the rest of my days with).  My blogs would outlive me for sure!

The longer I do this, the more I feel guided.  If every single person did this blogging daily exercise?  Listening to positive audios?  Can you imagine what type of better world this would be?
