Who You Traveling With
Isolationism- it's being promoted on a national level and the entire mindset of what can be attained through individualism is being promoted even to our kindergarteners.
I wonder what is to become of this nation and our youth if this individualistic mindset is left to grow -unchecked.
"Who You Traveling With"
is a piece that flowed from my fingertips after a week of listening to college students during a recent trip to my alma mater, the University of Maryland at College Park.
As I watched the basketball team, I was amazed at how many students and graduates seemed to focus on the accolades of the individual player as opposed to the success of the team as a whole.
Somehow, team sports, just as life, has been wholly relegated to individual success. Of course, I recognize the importance of each individual. However, I also recognize that individual success hinges on the little things that each player contributes. That includes those who never see a minute of actual playing time. or who we think are of unimportance in our life's journey. I am here to tell you; their contribution should never be overlooked.
When you have a moment, instead, take a moment to determine who is along this journey with you and truly assess how their contribution is affecting your life and just as importantly, how you are affecting theirs.
OUR SPIRIT...LIVES!!!
PEACE!!!
