Famous Quotes I Live By

For the record - Scripture teaches that "Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God".  Jesus quoted that in Matthew.  Moses recorded it 1500 years earlier!  I know that.

A long time ago, back in maybe 2018, I was sick of my life not going in the direction I wanted it to. My biggest enemy against me, was me. So I decided to change my self destructive habits and replace them with new life-changing ones.  I decided I wanted to stop sabatoging my future self.  So I made a plan and I credit most of my life changes the day I started to document it.  I called it my Bill of Rights.  Shortly thereafter, I became a Pastor and a Missionary.  All because I changed my ways.  You don't need to follow my Bill of Rights.  Make up your own. Or, don't.  Just remember, the only person accountable for your life...  is you.

Since 1992, God has blessed me with an entrepreneurial mind, an innovative mind, and the ability to lead.  After running from him for over 25 years, I finally surrendered my time and talents to him.  Today, I am a Christian Entrepreneur, a Pastor and a Missionary in South America.  Instead of selling my US Companies, I have decided to build them and use the profits for sustainability and to benefit the people in my Church Ministries and Mission Field.  What do you do with the time and talents that God has given you?  Read more...

Every move I made, every win, every loss, every great thing, every embarrassing thing, was giving me something that AI (Artificial Intellegence) could never give me... life lessons.  

I remember that first punch in the stomach.  I couldn't breath.  Thank God for that day.  It helped me be a faithful student of Martial Arts for over 4 decades.  Thank God he allowed me to be raised in a poor city on welfare.  It made me go to the library and read 5 books a week on entrepreneurship.  And lastly, thank God I lived a sinful life and a life of utter darkness.  In that darkness I found the Son of God starring at me.

“The truest form of intelligence is designing the life that you want to live”. - Graham C Weaver. Live your life and reframe your life on the path to achieving goals.  Design your life and write your plan down.  Annual goals, monthly goals, daily goals.  Then add it into a Daily Planner and schedule it out by the hour. Create deadlines. Don't let your TO DO LIST become a graveyard where dreams die.  A dream without a plan is only a wish. Don't be a dreamer. Be a dream maker. Thats the fun! That is the joy! Not achieving the goal. But the huge mountains your climbed. How you did it.  Those you helped and helped you along the way.  

What stops most people from becoming an entrepreneur is self discipline.  When you run on cheap dopamine you betray your future self. Stop hurting yourself. Stop doing all those things that give you joy for 10-15 minutes.  Pick goals that will change your life.  Change the life of others!  If you want to reach your goals, then first you need to decide what are the MOST IMPORTANT things to you.  Then commit to those things by making those things your highest priority. Do them first. Then add more. There in lies the magic.

As a Missionary, 3 things move us.  (1) Laborers (2) Open Doors (3) The Means.  The means is green money!  Dont' just pray for God to help the poor. YOU work 6 days a week and make money.  YOU save your money and be a good steward of it. YOU tithe to your church and then the church can help fund the needs of the poor.  YOU stop being foolish with your money.  Proverbs says a wise man lends money.  A fool borrows money.  Do you lend money or are you full of credit card debt?  Once you clothe yourself in Christ, you can grow in Christ.  Then people will see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven.
