When I Have A Daughter

When I have a daughter, I will teach her to love others. I will also teach her to believe in herself to the extent that she doesn't love others because she can't love herself.

When I have a daughter, I will teach her to respect those behind and ahead of her because they can and will influence parts of her.

When I have a daughter, I will teach her to be herself because at the end of the day, that will be the greatest gift she can give to God, herself, and the rest of humanity.

The Importance of Cultural Identity

You have to know yourself...and not only you. You have to understand where your people are from. If you lose a sense of your history and personal identity then you are missing out on finding your life purpose. So take time to do some exploring about your cultural identity and more. Culture is not a bad thing just be wise and take the meat and leave out the bones.

Ways to Figure Out Your Destiny

At some point of our lives we all wonder what our destiny is. Some people spend the rest of their lives living outside of their destiny. Like who would enjoy doing what they were not called for or born to do?  Well here are some ways to figure out your destiny:

• Trace your history and find out what people from your family, country, or region were passionate about

• Ask yourself what are some of the skills you have that have made a great impact in other people's lives regardless of whether you use skills a lot or not

• Ask wise people who know you and your history well what are your strengths and weakness then capitalize on your strengths on the way to your destiny

Knowing Your History

I know a lot of people who claim that history is senseless and useless. Such comments and many others have made me wonder whether it is really possible to move forward without a sense of the past. How can someone know what they are supposed to do without knowing what has happened before? The answer to this question and many others shows that if people do not understand their history they can be more likely to do things in a similar productive or unsuccessful manner that that was done before. Nobody wants to waste time so try your best to understand the history of any and everything before you move into the present and future.
