Today is Sunday

You know, I think creativity happens through hard work and labor, or through luck and fortuitous circumstance. Success happens through natural circumstance and natural ability, or through hard work and endurance. Our ideas are given to us. The idea that "I think, therefore I am", could be replaced by, "I think, and thank God for it, for without input from the infinite mind, I would not exist".

So, what gives you your identity? It is your neighborhood and your family. It is your natural abilities and your opportunities. It is the thoughts and attitudes you decide to adopt. What happens when you are wrenched from your neighborhood by and family and natural abilities through war, disease, displacement or other major event? You lose your moorings. You lose your self.

Endure, trust in God, meditate and seek to abolish negativity from your mind. Hold on for dear life.
