Theme: Of all the people you will meet in you life, there will be those who will help you, those there to lead you, and those who will support you. How rare it will be to find someone who will do all three...

The FOCUS:

* What is help, leadership, and support?

* How do you identify the roles of self and others?

* How do we honor the rare gifts in our lives?

Hey my people! Welcome to Efforts of Harmony, the virtual headquarters of "Success 4 the Future". We are simply delighted that you chose to visit us today. Be sure to come back again.

Today's topic continues this week's discussion on the key facets of humanity. Through this post we will examine the characters that contribute to the stories of our lives. We also will underline the value of recognizing the intentions and reasons for people that we interact with. We would love to have your feedback!

Help is often times assistance in a moment of need. But, help can also be someone advising you against something you want to do when you don't need to do it. Someone who leads people usually has endured some essence of life and wants to improve the living standards of others who might be going through the same thing or have the potential to experience it. However, you also find those who seek to be leaders because of the many rewards that are entitled to those in the forefront of varying endeavors. Support is a term with many faces. Whether financially, spiritually, socially, academically, emotionally, or economically (in the work force), we all experience some form of support everyday. Imagine if everyone supported peace and prosperity for all people, what a world we would live in.

As a Christian, I had to realize that the devil will use any and everyone to pull your thoughts away from the supernatural power of God. This can be family, friends, strangers, enemies, colleagues, classmates, or whoever. The individual's role must be to identify when the devil is using his tactics as a tool of distraction. For that is when one will miss out on the opportunity to truly enhance and advance their life purpose. As the key navigator of my own life, it is imperative that I remain focused on all of my surroundings, as my response to each placement in life I witness is consequential to my future and well-being. The people in your life should complete you. The information in life that you don't know and the items of the world that you don't have should be available from those who you engage with on a daily basis. Just as you should complete the puzzle of life for those same people. Our role is to uplift, whether that is our self or someone else.

Today a former program participant told me that I was her help in times of need, I was a leader for her when she didn't know what to do, and that I have always supported her goals when no one believed in her or she didn't believe in herself. That statement inspired this blog today. I was completely humbled and lost for words. She mentioned how her Grandfather explained the type of people we would be exposed to in society and how sometimes there would be those rare cases that went above and beyond common expectations. Are you are rare case? Do your choices impact the quality of life for other people? What are you doing to be a helper, leader, and supporter for those in need? How do you acknowledge those who have served as worthwhile, positive stepping stones in your life? Be the example you wish to see from the world. Know that one decision you make, one conversation you have, one action you take, and one thought that you express could change the life of someone forever. Let's live in the best interest of life, that we all will be of great fortune. God bless!
