As I continue to grow and learn, I'm aware of the difficulties of life that everyone most endure. All of us may not be confronted with the same state of affairs, but all have different situations that press us down and make 'success' more challenging.
As I ponder on this thought: 'We're all striving to climb the ladder of success.'
Doesn't it make sense for all who are striving to climb the ladder of success, to work together? All of us are working hard in our own way to be successful on whatever we have our eyes set on; however, most of us in our technique to climb the ladder have the thought to push someone else down in order for us to reach the top. But, why? Why does someone have to suffer in order for us to be successful? I know some of you are thinking about Jesus. In this sense, Jesus not only suffered, but he prepared a way for people to be reconciled with God; however, we as a people are making other people suffer more than they should, so that we can become successful while the others become unsuccessful. Jesus suffered so that all, not only Jesus (in his resurrection) but all would have the opportunity be successful (only in and through Christ Jesus).
In comparison to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., "I have a Dream"
I have a dream that this world will be a better place for ALL. Let's look and ponder at some of the dynamics that we are lacking.
This world would be a better place:
* If we learn to accept one another (not their erroneous habits) for whom they are. ~ Remember, "Who we are is an application of the things that we learn from yesterday's past."
* If cold hearted individuals in this world would visit the hospitals and nursing homes and meet those who never saw the world, but are held captives to their beds. This would humble a lot of us who are so SPOIL of the things of this world. We will learn how to cherish the blessings of life.
* If we learn how to love, not the way ‘Bowwow, The Isley Brother, R. Kelly’ defines love. The Love where one will decrease so that one may increase.
*If we learn to embrace the spirit of humility.
*If we to embrace Knowledge, Wisdom and understanding.
* If we learn to embrace a positive mindset.
There are many more, but I want to hear from you. What do you think we can do as a people to make this world a better place? Do you believe in the dream? (Feel free to add to the list)
I leave you with this last thought: Someone once said "Let's make this world a better place, and it start with me"
"Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
