BE HUMBLE, TIME CHANGES

Don’t assumes life is beautiful today
That you’ve got it all and have it all
You command at will and everything
Fall in places never falling apart
Be humble time changes
 
The one who’s slept
At the bus terminal yesterday
Who’s got no shelter, clothing and job
Will rise up tomorrow to that heights
Of becoming someone who has it all
 
The rain refuses to fall today
Doesn’t mean it won’t fall again
Dreams never come true now
Won’t mean that it we never come true
Be humble time changes
 
Tomorrow the sun will shine
Tomorrow the dream will come true
Tomorrow the darkest night got a dawn inside
Tomorrow the reawaken of a new day
Be humble time changes
 
No matter what you’ve got
Be rest assured that you were given for a purpose
To be blessing to the one who’s got nothing
And in blessing others that which you have remains
Be humble time changes
 
Time changes
Seasons come and goes
The winter storms will come and go
But one thing is sure humility carries one far
In the midst of plenty be humble
 
A wealthy individual
Is one who’s got the coat of humility on
Be worn at all times in all ways
In the midst of it all remember
You were once down on that road

DISCOVERING YOUR TRUE WORTH

We’ve all seen the MasterCard
Commercials featuring two or three
Activities or items like a
European vacation or a catcher’s mitt
And the accompanying costs

The last scene emphasizes
The memories made on that vacation
Or the relationship created
When a father and son play catch
In the backyard something that
Has emotional value a single word
Then appears on the screen “Priceless”

Some things are of such
Immense value that no amount
Of money can purchase them
And no dollar amount
Can describe their worth

Whether you believe it or not
You are priceless
Your value extends far beyond
Silver and gold
Discovering your true worth

Too many of us put too great
Value on material things
We think that having
The right car, clothes or house
Means we’re worthwhile

The problem occur
When our identity gets wrapped
Up in those things
When we let them define who we are
Could it be that we are filling our lives

With things and seeking status
In the eyes of others to cover
Our own lack of self-worth
Maybe your self worth is high
Discovering your true worth
You have value simply because
You were born upon this earth
And if you’re smart you’ll be aware
Of and appreciate the enormous
Gifts you already have in your life

Now to the big questions
How much is your life worth to you?
Every breathe you take is priceless
Take a fresh look at who you are
And who you are created to be

How do you value who you are?
How do you value what you’ve accomplished?
How do you value being on this earth?
To care for others you must care for yourself
I suggest you do it sooner rather than later

YOU IN THE MIRROR

The world seeks for a change
We want to live in a world
Void of prejudice and hates
A corruption free world
Where no one is afraid of anyone

Unite with a stranger
Extend hands of fellowship
In a lovely association
From one person to the other
Irrespective of the colour or creed

If you want to make the world
A better place for you and everyone
Take a look at yourself
And be that which you want to see
You in the mirror

Be the star you want to see
That will shine in dark hours
Of our world lighting your little corners
Be a sight to the blame lead the way
You in the mirror

Carry the touch of kind gesture
From one point to another
Light your next neighbor candle
Light each one up to your level
Be the you, you want to see around

In darkest hour take off the fear
In needy times just give you’re all
In gloomy world offer a smile to that one
In discourage time be a motivator for someone
You in the mirror

With all these our world
Will be haven on earth
If done out of sincere heart and mind
With a good motive and conduct
You in the mirror

CHARACTER IS A CHOICE

How you act in the world

How your conscience plays out

In the bigger arena

Determines your character

Character is a choice

For you to execute ethically

The most important thing

You can equip yourself with

Is good character because

Character is a choice

It is the underpinning for every correction

It should be the underpinning for your life

Like often said a good name is better than great riches

Yet we are under so much pressure to perform today

In business and in our personal lives

That it’s easy to succumb to shades of gray

When we try to achieve something great importance

But if you succumb, you risk forfeiting your good name

And losing your character that should be the very

Foundation of your life 

Character is a choice

You make each and every day

Your character is what you are in the dark

Choose character over compromise

You kept your commitment to your boss and co-worker

You don’t have to lie

You made the ethical choice

When it was easier to compromise

And ultimately that will always make you feel better

Remember character is a choice

We’re faced with these small moments

Of choice constantly but even if they seem small

The constant choices we make

Will determine how ethical we are

Character is a choice
