In the most affluent, progressive society in the world there lies a huge segment of people who live in quiet desperation. They go to work, attend to family needs and are caring neighbors but their hearts are saddened by their lack of the ability to flourish. Look around, how many people do you know are living lives of quiet desperation? A Parent, Brother, Sister, close friend, pastor, teacher, boss, or anyone else you might know? How about Kings, Queens, Presidents, or the Rich and famous, don’t they also have moments of feeling lost and desperate?

Take the bad with the good It’s true, everyone has bad days, in fact it is a commonly known human trait and it’s excepted that everyone has faulted expatiations which are doomed to failure. Life is full of trials and tribulations that plague people in their everyday lives. Adversities come and go like waves on the seas that rumble to the shore. Everyone is subjected to the same storms and casting about of the waves as they crash into their ship.

But wait, you have removed yourself from the rolling of the ship, you are on a rock standing steadfast. You are rooted in your beliefs because you know the truth. You know from where desperation comes and you have taken appropriate measures to keep it at bay. You hold your head up high because you are a child of God and nothing can stand in your way.

"To except faults is to experience faults."

The simple analogy of this statement is; entertained thoughts become life’s realities.

A foolproof formula If you uncovered a secret, foolproof formula that would eliminate all mistakes, wouldn’t you share it with your child, spouse, other family members, friends, or others? How do you think your mysterious secret would be received? Do you think others would be grateful and receive your valued secret with open arms? Do you think they would be willing to follow a few simple rules without question or doubt? I can tell you what you have probably already deducted.

NO ONE HEEDS OR TRUST ANYTHING FACTUAL OR OTHERWISE THAT IS GIVEN BY ANY OUT SIDE SOURCE FROM THEMSELVES WITHOUT INCENTIVE.

They may respect it, phrase its correctness, pursue it for a short while, or say it is a sound idea but they will not remove imbedded ideologies for outward expression. Outward expression of inward feeling is called personality or attitude. An obese person may diet a thousand times and still be fat, it’s only until they realize their incentive (heart attack) and adjust themselves to change inwardly, will they change outwardly. It is incentive which creates inner desire that prompts change in people. It is the nature of change that requires desire to flow from the inside out for longevity. Permanent change is born of desire, passion, fortitude and an unwavering commitment to the purpose.

A truth is, Outwardly flowing desire will not produce change until it affects the inner spirit.

Belief and willpower Your destiny is rooted in your belief. If you do not believe you can change, you are absolutely right. Incentive comes from belief or faith. You can only do what you believe in and have faith in. It is in the statement of belief that you build a rational conclusion.
