The past is the past

Nikki Cruz was born to a Satan worshiping family. He had 17 brothers and sisters. At age 3 his mother proclaimed him to be the son of the devil. At age 15 him and his best friend moved to NYC and Nikki became a leader of a street gang. At age 16 his best friend was stabbed and killed. A priest at a near by church tried to speak with Nikki about his poor lifestyle and invited him to mass that night. Nikki became very enraged and walked away. Nikki gathered his street gang and at 7:00 that night, they all showed up to mass looking to cause problems. As they walked in, the pastor's sermon was based on Jesus saving us all. Nikki never knew who Jesus was. He told his gang members to wait outside. Nikki was so inspired by the sermon, that he spoke with the priest after the mass and actually started turning his life around.

Nikki Cruz now travels the world as a motivational speaker, touching others lives with his incredible story.

Perception is Power

The more you complain, the more opportunity you waste. Are you around people who complain all the time? When we complain, maybe it's because we are looking at the wrong side of things. When you complain about something, there is an opportunity to learn how to deal with the issue. Or maybe your perception is wrong.

The other rep sent a message back that said, "Send more troops. Great business opportunity here. Aborigines don't wear shoes!

We all loved to play in the rain. Mud baths use to be fun. Snow was enjoyable. Some see the glass half empty and cry over spilled milk. Others see the glass half full and clean up the spill.

How are your reactions?

Dedicated to the magnanimous, inspirational- Joel Osteen.
Maybe we need to change our perceptions of who we think someone is.

You're an idiot! You're a loser! Jerk!
Is this how we feel when others fail to live up to the standards that we choose for them?

How are your reactions to others' actions?

"Our perception of who someone else should be shouldn't interfere with their becoming who they want to be."
