Unfolding Purpose...

Today has been quite an interesting day for me.  I have been a literal water pot!

It started with me watching via a friend's page on Facebook entitled New World Trend which is a video compilation of a group of individuals endeavoring to start a "new" trend.

Insight Into Personality...

My Pastor often says, if ten people tell in one night say you're drunk...SIT DOWN!

Several weeks ago I took a Meyers-Briggs Testing Instrument (MBTI).  Well, the results are in and it's just like I've said all along...I'M NOT WEIRD I'm just YOUnique!

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the MBTI, it is a personality test which can be used for instance to determine what career might be best suited for you based on your natural bending.

According to the MBTI, there are sixteen (16) personality types.  If you are interested in finding out your personality type, there are many sites online where you might be able to take the test.  Although some sites allow you to take a free version of this test, there is a fee to take the MBTI.

Celebration of Independence...

Today I watched a documentary on the life if Kim Peek...

Meet Kim Peek..."The Real Rain Main."  Kim is perhaps the world's most famous savant.  He's referred to as a megasavant. Many may remember the movie Rain Man starring Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman who portrayed Kim.

When Kim was born, it was discovered he was developmentally delayed.  His brain lacked the main connector for his left and right brain to function properly.  His parents were told he would never be able to walk, talk or learn etc. They were also encouraged to institutionalize Kim and just forget about him.  I'm so glad they decided not to listen.

Exercising My Power of Choice...

The greatest hinderance in exercising my power of choice has historically been rooted in fear.

I can remember being very young and wanting a puppy.  My Dad didn't want me to have the puppy and made a great argument for why I couldn't have one.  Despite everything he said, I begged and begged until he finally agreed.

His agreement came with a contingency.  I, at roughly eight years old, would be totally responsibly for the puppy.  I was charged with cleaning up after him, feeding him, and whatever else owning a puppy entailed.

Of course, being that young, I had no idea what I was committing to.  All I knew was I was getting a new, beautiful and chubby little friend with whom I would enjoy hours of endless play.  So...we brought the puppy home that night from my aunt's house.  I don't even remember naming him at that point.
