It's important that individuals start to question themselves honestly and take a hard look at their beliefs. <B>Do you honestly know WHY you BELIEVE what you believe?</B> <BR/><BR/>I find very few are willing to go past their first usual answer to that question (which is <I>"because I do"</I>) to understand why they are in belief of something. This question encompasses all areas of <B>Faith, Family, Finances and Fitness</B>. It's not ok just to go along with the status quo.<BR/><BR/>A few good books to start the process of challenging our thinking no matter where you are in life are:<BR/><BR/>• Leadership and Self Deception by Arbinger<BR/> <BR/>• There's No Such Thing As "Business" Ethics: There's Only One Rule For Making Decisions by John C. Maxwell<BR/><BR/>My belief is that if we start to challenge are own <B>INDIVIDUAL THINKING</B> and we're honest with ourselves as we continue on the process to become better <B>INDIVIDUALS</B> change happens.<BR/><BR/>As you said in your post, <I>“When you have a leadership that is immoral that are running your city it is common sense to see how that immoral leadership is reflected through the citizens.”</I> It’s time we take a stand at all levels of our government and let the politicians know that the citizens what people of high character not CHARACTERS that are HIGH!<BR/><BR/>You are correct when you say, <I>“We need to check elected officials representing Detroit. Remember, these are Democratic leaders whose main job is to keep us on the plantation.”</I><BR/><BR/>A few good books to get people thinking on that note of course are: <BR/><BR/>• It's OK to Leave the Plantation: The New Underground Railroad by C. Mason Weaver<BR/><BR/>• The Rope: A New Perspective on Freedom and Success by C. Mason Weaver<BR/><BR/>My prayer is that people wake up and say enough is enough! <B>It’s MY FAMILY it’s MY RESPONSIBILITY to care and nurture this family not the governments, not the media, not the schools, not the neighborhood…but MINE!</B>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
