What's Anything? 

 It was late the other night and I was in my mode of reflection and as I just sat and reflected on my life I became "awed" 
For some strange reason the scripture, "Anything is possible thru Christ who strengthens me" stuck out to me. I thought, Anything is a whole lot. Think to yourself what Anything could be. Anything? Seriously Anything? 

What's is anything? Now regardless if you are religious or not just the possibility of that being 100% true is mind boggling. 

For example, Lance Armstrong is someone who appears to be finished completely in defeat with his career and who he is as a person. But ANYTHING means he can turn his life around. 
Most of the problems that we all have we try to fix and we worry about them, and other small things forgetting ANYTHING is possible. 

So the next time your planning a victory, or want to start a company, or you act on an idea, or you decide to lose weigh, or you start speaking,or you begin to teach, or you switch your diets, or you create a product, or you decide to impact the world. Imagine what our results will be if we understand what ANYTHING really means....

God Willing?

God Willing? 

Have you ever had a conversation with someone about doing something or going somewhere. Everything is confirmed and at the end they say "God Willing?" 
Well when I hear it I feel like pulling out my hair. I feel like God is always willing. He always wants to give support in all that you and I do. Yes it can be argued that tomorrow is not promised to any of us and thats why I say it, but death is out of our control. Unless of course you choose to end your life, otherwise its no way to really know.  So why even put energy there? 
I feel sometimes the phrase is used as an excuse. For example, lets say you tell me your going to come to an event and I say I will come, God willing and then I don't show up...
Was God not willing? 
All I'm saying is God is willing, able, and ready for all of us to make moves. Powerful moves. Speaking about moves please stay tune for another rb3 blog coming up March 1st, 2013 ... "Frowns2Smiles Eating" We will share top secret recipes for those who desire to eat right and it actually  taste good....
Stay tune till next weeks blog, God Willing lol (just kidding)

Blocking

I was reminded today about an amazing event that happened in my life several months ago. It was a late night, about 10 or 11pm and I was out with my two sons driving around. We were putting out signs to promote my business. You know the signs that you see on utility polls on highways or locally. Yes I do put out signs. Marketing is key right. :)

Well I found the BEST location for one right at a light going onto a major highway in my area. So as I pulled over a car pulls up behind me. So I waited for the car to go pass me but he just sat there. I rolled my window down and signaled him to go around me and he just sat there. I turned around and made hand gestures to go around me and he just sat there. So I just sat there.  Now this was about 4 minutes in and I won't lie, I was getting very scared. Then I turned my head around towards him and I could see him making hand gestures at me. Now I became angry and I was yelling in the car, "this idiot has to be drunk" and if you really know me I do have a bid of stubbornness when I want something and I wanted my sign on that pole.

So, I bust a U-Turn so the car would be in front of me... And what happened next made my jaws drop to the floor and tears flooded my eyes. That man pulled off but instead of going onto the highway like I expected, he pulled in his driveway. What was the likely hood of me being in front of his house and blocking his driveway. He's driveway was the LAST house before the highway.
I thought this man was drunk, I thought he was an idiot,  My thoughts were wrong! Dead wrong. Of course my kids were totally confused to why I was crying. You also maybe confused to why I was crying... So I'll tell you what I told my boys....

If I thought he was all of what I though he was and ended up being an innocent man just trying to get home what else in my life could I possible see as being not good and in reality it's all good. I learned in that second my thoughts are SO POWERFUL they can distort reality. Our thoughts can distort what is to what's our. So it is true that whatever we see we are.
And Zyaire fell asleep and Zykir said, "So we can change it too the other way too right" and I said, "what do you mean? " Zykir Said, "you know like, you could next time see the man and his driveway first?" I smiled and said "YES"

REFINE....

It's been a little while since I took the time to actually write to all of you! Happy Belated New Years to you all. I was thinking about my life the past 12 months and found that the New Year was already here and yet I was still having the same conversations I was having last year. With the same people, about the same thing damn things! I thought to myself what in the world am I missing... 

For some out of the blue reason I thought about the word REFINE... so if you are a true followers of these blogs you know that I am so in love with definitions. 


Refine- remove impurities or unwanted elements from a substance, typically as a part of an industrial process. Improve (something) by making small changes, in particular make, (an idea, theory, or method) more subtle and accurate.



Need I say more :) To refine who you are simply means to take away EVERYTHING you wish to not exists. That includes people. LOL That includes thoughts, that includes results. See you can be know for not having, always just talking and this very moment you can decide to change that if you really desire to. I have. In some people eyes I am seen as a joke, a kid, simple and just about talk. See I am at the point that I can say that I created this foolish notion. Refining myself isn't for the world, the world just helped me recognized what to get rid of so I am thankful. Refining is for me. It is for God. Remember this... regardless if you are religious or not the Bible highlights people who have done things like... murder, steal, lie, cheat, deceive, and much more and yet at the end they reigned supreme. 

What you were has NOTHING to do with who you ARE! 

REFINE YOUR LIFE!!!
