I remember being a young lad trying so hard to figure out word problems. Within those very word problems were "additional" verbiage that neither added nor subtracted any viable value to the word problem itself. By design, its intentions were to intentionally throw you off and distract you from solving the problem itself.
Although the distraction within the word problem was not meant to permanently distract you, rather to build within you a better, sturdier resistance to the "additional" things that would have you believe that "they or it" offer value to a situation when in all actuality, they offer anything but.
Be not distracted by peripheral things that shall always remain on the perimeter, to never occupy the nucleus and centerpiece of you.
The heart of the matter shall always be "What Matters Most," nothing else.
Glory Be To God!

"Stay Focused"
Distractions are many aplenty. Some are, while others are not so friendly. But it matters not their disposition so long as their intentions do not hinder, distract, impose or impede upon your purposed position.
Allow your Faith to keep you on track, your actions to keep you grounded and lift not one finger or utter one word that is not deserving by way of the solution if the arrival is demonstrative of the problem.
Do not lose sight, but remain strong despite the feeble attempts to thwart God's might, that is deeply rooted within you, in every struggle and in every fight.
Pray more than what you think that you're supposed to.
"Stay Focused," unmoved, unwavered and always remain true.
When everything appears to be falling apart, YOU become the glue.
YOU hold it together, until God makes it better!
"Stay Focused!"

"Successfully Lived Through It"
Allow your desire to positively inspire the fire that burns so bright and magnificently in, all around and throughout "your" vicinity.
Allow the illumination to display God's creation within you, that shall subsequently inspire the desire within others to burn in a similar or like capacity, influencing them to live and be free, in, all around and throughout "their" vicinity.
Be who you want!
Do what you can't!
Expose your closed!
Move your immovable!
Replenish the diminished!
Rip the doors off the hinges of the compartmentalized!
Shatter the windows that hinder the natural light and the truth from coming in!
Dispel the myth by no longer contributing to it.
Your future was created by a past and you having "Successfully Lived Through It."

"His Tree"
In the face of adversity, stand boldly and bravely right next to, claiming and proclaiming your victory.
Do not allow the adversary to claim it on your behalf. I said on "your" behalf because it is not theirs to rightfully claim to begin with, rather yours that you allow them to claim in your absence.
The very absence from victory lane that has already co-signed your presence long before you even thought that you had the right type of credit, way before you realized that you were actually already worthy.
Adversity is just God's opportunity to permanently display the very reason why He is ALWAYS worthy!
Worthy is He and Blessed are we, should our apples not fall too far from "His Tree."

"That First Step"
Missteps and mishaps do not mean that you are forever trapped. We live and learn and continue to live so that we may continue to learn. We can further appreciate it once it has been earned.
We are not doomed by our mistakes, but Blessed in rectifying them in the due process of learning from them.
What we have gone through is synonymous with what we have grown through as we speak to our experiences, thus allowing them to speak through us, so that they may reach others, exactly where they are.
The rest of your Life is contingent upon "That First Step," in route to the passion within your purpose that will always lead you to unprecedented action.

"Be Not Dismayed"
Problems will surely mount, but they do not discount nor take into account the strength of God to lift us up out of our predicaments and nestle us right into our inheritance.
Nothing can kill, steal or destroy,
My happiness and joy,
Raised into that man all the way from that of a little boy.
It matters not who or what comes your way. Just give God your Faith, receive the victory and "Be Not Dismayed."

"Crossing the Serengeti"
Every year the incredible Wildebeest migration crossing the Serengeti's treacherous Mara River is a spectacle in which to behold. An enormous amount of zebras and gazelles accompany the Wildebeest on this biannual pilgrimage as they migrate in search of optimum grazing in the form of rain ripened grass and drinking water to accommodate the size of the migrating participants into Kenya's Masai Mara.
If you have ever watched it unfold, you can FEEL the enormity of the migration and can appreciate the magnitude of the determination of the animals to take this journey, irrespective of the anonymous predators along the way that are patiently lying in wait for their suspecting, not unsuspecting, prey. But they forge ahead anyway, for what awaits them is not as important as the journey that they need to take, the one in which they shall make despite what is hidden along the path.
The things that we stand to learn once we tune in to something that can actually educate us, thus adding value to our equation, identity and composition.
The willingness to understand that the journey that we all travel upon may not be physically located in the Serengeti, but the things that await us are never more important than the journey itself.
The predators are actually not so anonymous, due to the rather simple fact that the prey already suspects their presence in the midst, to begin with.
But in order to get to what has already been purposed for you, sometimes we have to travel through our own versions of the Mara River, in our own personal Serengeti, to our very own Masai Mara.
Tuned in to our pilgrimage, whatever awaits us along our journey is designed to reach us where we are and to teach us where we need to be.
You do not need to become a predator in order to prevent falling prey. You just need to outwit your predator and live to see another day.
Something that I learned as I tuned in to witness Life, as it was "Crossing the Serengeti."

Love and My Mother are My Motivation!
Love and My Mother are My Celebration!
Love and My Mother are My Dedication!
All the Best, All the Time!
