DUNAMIS WOMAN EMPOWERMENT SEGMENT: This column is intentionally written to challenge your thoughts from three aspects of my life, as it relates to one of the broadest topics: LIFE. As a Challenging Speaker, I have been teaching about this topic. However, the various domains of life that we make decisions out of, often time does not produce what we expect after the decision has been made. For example, I can make a decision for my children to go to college, not saying that they shouldn’t, but I must make sure that I am not forcing my decision upon them, because I didn’t go to college. And, based upon my decision not to go to college, I may be experiencing financial difficulties, because the standards and stipulations to obtain a good paying job have changed since that time. Currently, based upon many life circumstance as an adult, my old mindset is causing to me to inhale and exhale out of my past as opposed to my future. This has already created a contradiction, which inhibits me to believe the impossible for my children based upon their decision to attend a college setting. As a Strategic Life Coach, I want to broaden your mindset about life, so strategies can be established to take your thinking to a higher realm. First and foremost, let me clearly the term “life” by the Originator based upon its origination. According the Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, one of the greek definitions for life means “psuche”, which stems from “psucho”, which means breath or to breathe; voluntarily, but gently, utilize your life; mind, soul, and vitality. Before I elaborate let me state what Christ stated in John 15:13 NKJV, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends”. Literally, Christ is not expecting us to get on a cross and die for a friend like He did for us. He is the ultimate friend! He is referring to us freely lay down our thoughts, opinions and our old breathe (way of thinking) for your friends; associates, neighbor, and everyone you are fond of. It is those that we love, we desire to have the very best, especially our children. It is those individuals that we will heavily impress our views, beliefs and desires upon, particularly based upon the knowledge we gained from our mistakes. Christ is saying lay all this down and let them breath their own breathe, so they can gain His breathe; learn His way, adopt His views, and by the pain we experience from mistakes, allow His voice to be heard as opposed to those whom they love. This is an effective strategy that Christ has given us all to gain true success. He knows that the greatest success comes from a hard road as opposed to an easy one. However, as parents our thinking has been trained to protect and prevent in avoidance of life’s painful challenges. I am an advocate for education, but it doesn’t mean all children are made for the traditional college setting. As a Spiritual Empowerment Coach, I want to invite you to come visit the Dunamis Woman Life Coaching Institute to learn “how to” inhale and exhale a life not limited my legalism. The challenges of life have damaged us all in many aspects. Don’t let the essence of who you are remain polluted with the old breathe of life. Breathe again!
