That whole movie is full of Irony that is what makes it a classic.
The pay is in the satisfaction I get thinking that sometimes I make people think...mostly though, it’s in the deep friendships and respect that I’ve formed with other freepers over the years.
Instead of reading it, and opening their hearts to it, some people just interpret it from afar to meet their needs.
My Bible says you cannot serve God AND money. (Matthew 6:24)
THAT appears to be Oprah’s problem, IMHO.
I didn't realize you had a blog! I will have to check it out.
I’m not sure I see how I reminded you of that saying, but OK, thanks.
INTERVIEW: STEDMAN GRAHAM
MAKING IT HAPPEN
Stedman Graham’s steps for success.
By Patricia Baldwin
You dedicated your book to Oprah Winfrey. Can you leave us with some closing remarks about her and what it means to you to have someone in your life who obviously shares your strong values and beliefs?
It’s interesting about her. She epitomizes the “process.” She understands the process because she found her passion. She loves to talk. She’s made a career out of communication. And she does it very well. She does it better than anybody I know. And she’s passionate about it. It’s the one thing that she loves more than anything else she’s ever done. She’s been in television since she was 17, but it was later that she discovered her love and discovered her passion. She’s been able to build a life around that passion. That’s the answer for everybody.
She’s an example of being able to understand how the process works. She’s been able to build a vision. She’s been able to plan it every single day. She’s built a strong team around her to make it work. She makes good decisions based on having good information. She’s one of those fortunate ones, along with [businessmen] Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, who was in our class last week. He talked about the passion of making money. He just loves to be able to make money. It’s not about spending money. It’s not about the luxury of money. He just likes making money. As a child, he had a coin changer and he was very good at numbers. He put all of that together, based on his passion, and he built an enormous business empire.
So the passion can be a talent?
It’s “Where’s your genius?” It’s the genius in everybody. Where is it? What is it? What’s your talent? What are your skills? What makes you unique? That’s what you have to find. And then you can build a life around that because that’s what drives you. That puts the emotional piece into your life — the bond between heart and job, so to speak. Heart and work. Heart and destiny. Connect all that together. But you’ve got to connect your life to your heart. If you don’t, you’re misaligned. You just go through the motions looking for things to do, hoping that it will satisfy you. You’ll never find it until you first search within to find out where your true power is and where your true passion is. That truth is the fuel that keeps you going in spite of all the obstacles and difficulties you might have in your life.
Well, you said you like to make people “think”, and that reminded me of that saying about making someone “think”.
Lateral/linear logic at work. I took a few courses in it, it’s kinda bizarre. lol
I share it with Scott, a business associate and friend in Florida who I used to freep with when he lived up here. In a quiet and gentlemanly manner he made scores of Dems lose their temper when we freeped Barack Obama, and Dick Durbin tried to shout him down. I remember on Election Day in 2004 we went to Dubuque with a HUGE Bush-Cheney sign and another sign that read “Flush the Johns.” We took turns shaking a plunger at passing cars, too. Good times. :-)
Yep.
Well I don’t know if she is “The” but she certianly is antiChrist.
I had know Idea a Freeper would be named such.
way too funny
Lot’s of times, logic doesn’t really apply to what I talk about.
If she is promoting this horsehockey on her show, (I wouldn't know) then you are likely correct in your assumption.
Makes one wonder, could this be paving the way for Obamassiah worship?
Where’s your blog Mr. S?
She’s dangerous because of her popularity with women, who eat this stuff up. Pray for her.
Good article. Add me to the ping list, please. I followed the link to your blog, and enjoyed it until my eyes began to hurt (I can’t handle white type on black background so well).
