September Word of the Month: FREE/FREEDOM

          The word FREE has many definitions. Some are based off a positive thought process and others off a negative one. FREE is often thought of and defined as, "Costing nothing. Not occupied or used. To disengage." There really is not such a thing as something for nothing! The truth is even gifts cost the giver something. When most people say something is FREE, they mean it didn't cost them anything! This is a selfish and ungrateful way to look at the world! It can be a dangerous way as well. It can lead to an entitlement attitude. ( http://www.speakittolife.blogspot.com/2011/05/entitlement-attitude.html  ) People also often think of the word FREE in a patriotic sense. It means we have rights and live in a democracy. But the word FREE should hold a much greater significance. The word FREE is also defined as, "Not bound or constrained. Not under obligation or necessity. Not affected by a given condition or circumstance. To rid of or release." If you have financial FREEDOM and believe in God you will have this type of FREEDOM. When you have enough money to be financially FREE you don't have a job. FREEDOM from a job means you are not under obligation to do what a boss says to do. You don't have a necessity to go to work to earn a living. Financial FREEDOM and faith in God give you the confidence to overcome circumstances! These two FREEDOMS release most of our daily stress and leave us FREE to pursue our dreams!

Febuary's Word of the Month: ABILITY

          I have decided to go through the dictionary alphabetically. I will chose one word a month that I feel has power and significance in my life. This month I have chose the word ABILITY!
         ABILITY means, "The power to do something. A skill or talent." This word is powerful! It literally means power! You have the ABILITY to do great things in this life! What sort of things do you chose to do? You have the ABILITY to live a life of significance!
          It is my personal belief that God gave everyone a specific set of ABILITIES so that they could fufill a divine purpose in this life! I believe that you should not dwell on skills you lack. Everything you need to succeed is within you. Instead I believe we should focus on our strongest ABILITIES and fufilling our purpose!
          What do you, my readers, consider to be some of your ABILITIES? Do you have a special talent? Can you sing or draw? Are you a poet? Maybe you can dance or act..I love to write! Do you have dreams of doing something with those ABILITIES?
          Remember ABILITY means power! So speak your ABILITIES boldly! Then watch as both you and your ABILITIES grow!
