October is the month of my birthday. At the end of this month, I will be a whopping 47 years old.
Every year I try to write down what I have learned through-out the year, whether I share it with others or not.
This year is no different.
Below is a list of the top 10 things I've learned this year:
1. God is more dependable than family or friends.
2. If you only give what you have, you will only get what you need.
3. Faith is the most powerful muscle in your soul.
4. I am still human.
5. God loves me and wants to use me in spite of my humanity.
6. Attitude has a lot to do with the availability of opportunity.
7. Sometimes you have to burn a bridge in order to stay faced in the right direction.
8. Sometimes you gotta give the twine some slack in order to attract the fish.
9. God is the best provider there is.
10. You can't climb the ladder of success by knocking the rungs out from under the person ahead of you.

Life is a Journey...
Life is a journey. The person you spend the most time getting to know is yourself. Your comfort zones are what determines the limitations you put upon yourself. And, I have determined to stretch beyond my comfort zones as often as I can, with-in reason, in order to find the limitations God has put on me. So far, I have found that the limitations I put on myself are far inferior to the ones that God has put on me. This makes me even more daring and fearless.
It also makes me realize how much of myself I do not know, and how much of myself I've forgotten I was. It drives me to seek answers that I thought I had already found, and makes me wonder if I will ever find the me that is somewhere inside.
I think, after deep thought on this, that the closest I have come to being me is when I determine and practice contentment in who I am at this moment.
It is probably all I will ever really, truly, know -- whether I understand it or not.
