Inspiration In Some Minutes Ways...

The longer you remain true to that path the stronger your foundation will become and the easier we will be able to resist negative temptations when faced with them. I deal with this every day, and so do you.
For example I see a hundred dollar bill just lying on the ground, do I pick it up and put it to my own use, or do I leave it on the ground in the hope that the person who dropped it will come looking for it and find it? I leave it on the ground because it is not mine. If I was placed in that exact situation that is what I would want anyone else to do. I know that a hundred dollars may seam like a lot of money at the moment but I would appreciate finding it, if I lost it, and as would the person who dropped it.
Your foundation is very similar to that of a building.
What does this mean?
This means that if a building has a weak foundation it will collapse with ease, but if, on the other hand, its foundation is strong regardless of the pressures it has to withstand it will still stand strong.
In the same way if the foundation of each one of our personalities is weak, we will not be able to withstand the pressures of life, In turn if my foundation is week, I will not be able to achieve all that I wish to achieve. But if our foundations are strong then regardless of the pressures that we have to endure we will still stand strong.
Each one of us deals with this, but as a checker board which is a square made up of many squares, we are a family made up of many ethnicities, colors, attitudes, languages, points of views, and personalities. Therefore each one of us represents one square on the checker board. Therefore we not only have fight our own battles, but we also have to fight the battle of life as a whole, (as the entire checker board).
Helping Each Other
We do this by helping each other when necessary, taking into account each other s strengths and weaknesses, and utilizing our strengths to bring us closer to our goal.
I represent one square on the checkerboard, and I am standing by your side waiting to help you fight the battle of life. Through this speech I am helping you fight the battle of life, and I pray that my efforts are successful. I do not want any recognition or reward for my efforts I just want you to be successful and for you to help others be successful. That is all I want. If you want the same thing for others such as your friends, brothers, sisters, colleagues etc then, and only then, can I be successful. You are even helping me fight the battle of life because as you re reading this speech your views, thoughts, interpretations, and perceptions of me are developing, and these aspects work together to form your complete profile of me.
Even though we have never met face to face, through the information that I have provided you with thus far, and the information that I will further present to you will shape this profile, thus you can meet me by heart and know exactly who I am without even seeing my face.
