We all must seek to be a better person today than what we were yesterday. In what way we are better is up to each and everyone of us. My changes in life have been going very well. I am seeing the vast contrast in the person I am today and the person I was 5 years ago. I am not even close in being the mean person that I was . When I became an Ordain minister through the Universal Life Church there was two simple rules. Do the right thing and spread love. I am going to do the right thing, but I am going to spread my type of love. If you have read my previous blogs you would see that I am not a 'love and light' type of person. But what I will give is support to those that need it or want it. I have a former co-worker that I was working on giving him some helpful support. And I hope that I was able to get through to him some of the basics.
I have been wanting to be something more than who I am today. The thoughts of leading others to a better life have been bouncing around in my head. It feels good to help others. I want to help other people on their path, not convert anyone, just help those that are wanting some assistance. But to lead , I need to have something to offer people . I have a great deal of advice, experiences, and wisdom. I have been trying to figure out a basis for a foundation of advancement for others. And in return I will learn and become a better person as well.
But this desire is more than a pagan course. I would like to help others in other areas of life. Telling people about their work ethic and responsibilities to the world around them. Why? Well I have complained many of times about how ministers refuse to give real world advice to their people. They teach of scripture, but not of the world around them. Balance is something that must be maintained in so many aspects of life, so many different aspects of life must be discussed and learned from.
The marines have a shirt that says.."Lead , follow, or get out of the way." There are times in life that we have to do those three things. When something is important to you, you must take control and lead to success. When you see others working for a just cause you must follow their lead and assist them into achieving their goal. When people are doing something that doesn't effect you , you must learn tolerance and get out of the way.
I was told that I would similar to a life coach. And maybe that would be the best way to describe what I want to do. But I want to be the teacher of people and touch people's lives in a positive way. I don't want to be the High Priest of a coven or grove. I want to be a part of a large open circle and build off of each other. A community of people respecting each other as equals . So I am devoting some time in building a foundation for a series of lessons that I as a minister would need. The first part would be writing done a program for pre-marital counseling and marriage support classes. And then research some grief counseling lessons to build a program for losing a loved one.
In the end , I will be a better person. Now look in the mirror and ask yourself one question. What can I do today to make myself a better person? Then ask yourself, Why haven't I done that already. We set or own limitations. Others only have control over us if we let them. Don't let anyone tell you that you can never be better. All you have to do is take that first step.
