I am a Leader. Follow me or get the freak out da way......


Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is to always try just one more time said the celebrated Mr. Thomas Edison. With these powerful words, I write this blog for the first time for someone else. That unsuspecting recipient is non other than "myself". I have been fortunate to be healthy and in sound mind for the most part. I have two beautiful healthy daughters and son, who know very well my capabilities. I have searched and found the truth and lavished many memories along the way.
With that being said, I know that I must fight against the wrong that I have perfected, in place of following another, far greater than I could ever be, to guide my feet on the narrow path of righteousness. These broken pieces of my life that some many consider failures, I simply see as friendly reminders to try it another way! Allow me to give an example: When I left my parents home at age 17, I had nothing but my dreams and $500 in my cross color jeans. I had no plan B! Along the way to August 26,2013- I had to deal with drug dealers, pimps, killers and con-men. (And that was just my own family-lol!) I gained first hand knowledge of how people are when it comes to looking out for number 1. Life taught me very quickly to expect the the bull #*%, but to never accept it! There is no honor among thieves and no truth among lovers of this wicked world. I began to experience and wonder what happens to people who become drunk with power? One day they can be just a local Joe and the next day you are the WOMAN in charge? Do you forget about all the people you stepped on to get up top or those who depend on you? Do you make your pseudo presence felt by making my other hustler family brethren suffer from your emotional tyrants? I find no happiness in watching others get retribution for their sins, but you gotta admit- it does give a sense of relieve when you feel the helping hand of justice tapping you on your back! I gave this entry the title of a leader, because as sure as someone who can lead you out of a burning building because you listened- is what its all about! The leadership objective is to realize that your emotions are your enemy so we must stop taking things personally. If your enemy wins a battle, congratulate her with a smile and live to fight another day, because you will win. (re-read the first two sentences now). Why you ask? Because Heather told me that "Good things come to those wait, but its usually left overs from those who hustle".
Lesson to be gained: Leaders lead by example. Leaders know that obstacles are opportunities to use strengths you did not know you had! Leaders know that in order to be a great leader, you had to have been a great follower! Leaders win thru actions and never words. Leaders enter with boldness and get results! Leaders laugh at the games people of this generation play because we know its only temporary. We must continue to fight evil with good (Romans 12:21). I am a Leader. Follow me or get the freak out da way.....
I am Ward......
