Yes, it is important to be able to see yourself in the future. You will be what you want to be you will see yourself where you can invision yourself. That may sound redundant but the concept is stated in a way that may over simplify its bold and elementry truth. You must be bold enough to vision yourself where you want to be in life, get information, make moves so that you can be where you want to be.<BR/><BR/>You ask what does it mean to be treated like a pimp... It is some variation of the following...<BR/>One person talking to and treating another person as if they are suppose to treat them in a way that says your my property not my friend. I use you for what your good for being used for when I feel like using you be ready to jump when I say so. <BR/><BR/>There are too many who don't have any foundation of who they are or any idea of where they want to be in life. It is interesting to think that we are all here for not only one reason but many reasons to many people. We live through seasons for reasons. We move based on the convictions we have about our experiences and as we learn about ourselves often I have noticed that our priorities change. My priorities have shifted from what they were as a child to a teenager and into being a responsible adult. I have taken the time to see that I was not brought here to be a robot, a number, a race, a handsome face, or any other superficial label people use to sum up a person. I think that it is very interesting that there are those two opposite sides of a spectrum of life. Arrival and Departure. What happens inbetween has to be one of the most mysterious occurances from one person to the next. It amazing what happens through life so many things seen and unseen.<BR/>I pray that your parents are around to name your children as well. The insight that our elders hold is the treasure to our success or failure...Mathewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00845112030050944866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243300463247924434.post-63681055290295871202008-12-10T20:30:00.000-08:002008-12-10T20:30:00.000-08:00Thank you for your contributions.

There is a song that we sing in our church that has the chorus "See Yourself In the Future" that is exactly what we need to do. God knows that we are not perfect and growing is a continual process. It is through this growth that we go through the hurts and pitfalls of life, but it is the overcoming of those obstacles that define our character. God has created us to be great so make the choice to believe and achieve that greatness. Remember to be humble and acknowledge God always!<BR/><BR/>Be Blessed<BR/>MMSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243300463247924434.post-91441502955320944762008-12-09T00:27:00.000-08:002008-12-09T00:27:00.000-08:00Hmmm...very interesting title?

Sometimes the things we view as a major injury in our lives is nothing more than a papercut and all we need to do is clean it and put a band-aid on it. So, I really like the title.<BR/><BR/>For the hurt we all experience in our lives that goes beyond a superficial papercut we can draw strength from it, cause we survived the hurt. Not only do we have the experience, but a reference point for how to overcome...remembering we've been through it and now have the skills and abilities to get through not only that difficult time, but any difficult time. <BR/><BR/>Losing or forgetting one's center in God will cause self doubt.
