Self Discovery

In everyone lay a Pilgrim, waiting to be discovered. A discovery, not by anyone person in part, but thyself. Once self-discovery takes place, a transformation, of such, takes place…leading to self-mastery. This self-mastery leads to self-actualization. Further leading to an élite status of Warrior.

The Warrior no longer awaits approval from others, but lives in self-approval. The Warrior knows that he is right on time, right in place, and right on center… Becoming matters of the Heart, transforming into All Things, All Places, and All Encounters. When centered in the Heart, the Warrior travels where he is needed, assisting Pilgrims to finding their way home.

The Warrior encounters a stumble or even falls flat on his face but takes less time for healing…allowing future growth and strengthening of the Heart. Being in the Moment of the Fall…the Warrior identifies areas of improvement, future opportunities and becomes a liaison to Peace.

You are a Warrior…

Stepping into the Canvas today ask yourself  “am I willing to stand passively without a voice of my own, allowing others to tell me what or how to live? Or am I willing to listen to that voice within and begin living in my authentic self?” Today is that day your life will surely change.

The Quarterback

I am the Quarterback of a great team;

creating magic up and down the field.

I am the play-maker and do it with ease;

calling plays and putting them to action.

 

I am the captain of this team;

proud to say that I am not perfect.

For I make plays both good and bad;

Occasionally a turnover or two.

Whether I am up or down,

Down and out,

Stand strong.

 

My front line may not hold the defensive tackle;

My center may drop the ball.

None of that matters,

For I am the Quarterback of this team.

I am the one who raises hope of winning the big game,

And cannot afford to get angry or sad.

Win or lose, I must know that I did my best;

My best in showing others how to enjoy the game.

 

Is it better to scream and holler at the team;

Or praise them and encourage them?

It is fourth and ten, with fifteen seconds remaining.

We are down by six, and an opportunity to score;

I could give up and give into the beatings endured.

For it is seventy yards to the finish line and I cannot give up.

This game throws me everything it has;

calling an audible.

 

I can choose to give up or fight on;

I choose the latter of the two.

For I am the quarterback and cannot afford to take a knee.
