Investigating, Interrogating and Inspecting Your Life

My role in this society is simple: I am a humble, servant of God. All of who I am and everything about me falls under that one statement. I try to live each day out as human being who is making a positive impact on not just my life, but more importantly, the lives of others. To me, that’s what it’s all about. I cherish that about myself. And each day I’m grateful to have a sincere heart that wants to give to people; not for self-glory, but for the joy and happiness that reaches my heart when someone’s day is made better because of something I said or did. All the glory belongs to God though.

I am the youngest of three, whom my mom raised all by herself. Since I was very young I was always known as the “good one”. I was that kid that went and picked flowers from the grown and gave them out to people. I was the kid that wanted to play “the waiter”, when it was time for dinner, by serving everyone that was at the table. To this day, I’ve always had a sense of service to others. It comes naturally.

In my mind, I believe in treating people the way you want to be treated. And although I know, first hand, that one will probably never be treated how the treat others, whether good or bad, I still keep that mindset. There is a scripture in the bible that I live by, “for we know that all things work together for the good of them that love the lord…” (Romans 8:28). At then end of the day, no matter how terrible or how great things have been, I know that it’s all going to work for my good. I believe it with all of my heart. And that’s how I approach every situation, especially, the not so good ones. You know, the ones that make you squint your face asking, “what the hell is going on”. By believing in that, completely, it allows me to not get discouraged or “down in the dumps” as my grandmother would say.

It is important for me to keep positive, consistently good people around me. Spirits and actions of others rub off on people, and I don’t want any negativity to rub off on me; especially not someone else’s’. I’m a reader, or an observer as a better way
