I’m curious what your use of Authentic is referent to?

What a great question August. I want to help empower people to live authentically who they are and not who they think others might want them to be. I believe everyone was born on purpose and for a purpose. I write about how personal growth will change what you think is possible. I also wrote about leadership topics as you see from this post.

Thanks for reading!

Thank you for your posts. Each one takes we on a journey when seeking the meaning of your words and selfishly the relevance in the current chapter in the book of my life.

When reading the Holy Bible I find that the same scripture has different meanings to multiple people and even to myself when reading it during different seasons in my life.

The Holy Spirit provides counseling and comfort when I’m willing to surrender and hear what I sometimes miss as God whispers to me.

Unsure if this Paul Harvey excerpt (at 19:00 minutes into the YouTube) during Mr. Sam Walton’s Memorial (celebration of life) is in sync with this posting.

My memories quickly landed here when reading and meditating on your post.

“If with pleasure you are viewing, any work one is doing, if you like it, if you love it, tell them, now!” — Paul Harvey describing his friend Sam Walton.

From the stockroom to the boardrooms…

A Barnabas like none other.

Encourager…

From my perspective one of the many character traits of Mr. Sam was his “listening” to any and all in his paths in life.

Dr. Paul Faulkner at Resources for Living shared his favorite memories of Mr. Sam in the Walmart auditorium not long after Mr. Sam’s death in 1992.

Paul said in his lifetime he had never heard anyone that mastered the art of “ASKING QUESTIONS” like his friend Sam. One struggles to learn and grow in life when one does all the talking. Paul’s friend Sam helped people like and then love themselves. He provided value in who they were because he chose to be interested enough to ask them questions about their perspective on whatever the topic, personally and professionally.

Look forward to your postings each week.

Christ’s blessings on your vulnerable postings of life. May your words help people meet their Creator through your journaling.

Your friend and admirer,

David
