Give Him 15: A Great Symphony Of Prayer

 

Under 40 In Authority

 People under 40 should NOT hold leadership positions in a company. What leadership or life experience could someone have at 35-40?🤷🏾‍♂️. It’s that age group who’s prone to letting authority go to their head. #ISaidWhatISaid

I’m going to spotlight a few responses: 

Monica Regina Jones: But bro I have known ppl that were in their 50s and older who have let leadership positions go to their heads also. It's not really about age. It's about character and maturity. Trust me, I literally know ppl that are younger than me that have both. I also know ppl older than me that lack both.

Interpretation: I see where she’s coming from because it’s 40+ people that are terrible leaders, but they play politics to get in authority. This usually stems from toxic management who hires those like them.

Lorraine London: My husband was dorm chief at the age of 18 in the air force. He was over men twice his age. Now he’s a police major in a very large department. He’s been tapped to be police chief twice and turned it down, twice. Too political he says, and he’s nobodies do boy. Some people have natural leadership abilities. Age isn’t necessarily a factor in that. It’s character, mental maturity and intelligence.

Response: This seems to be common in the military, groom young servicemen for leadership until retirement. Like Ms. Lorraine said, it’s character, mental maturity & intelligence. I stand corrected because you have young leaders who have been groomed right: They’ve sat under seasoned leaders with good character, intelligence & maturity so it’s natural for them to emulate that.

Hurt People, Hurt People: John Johnson

Repost John King Johnson

I know the saying 'hurt people hurt people' and all. I (based on life experience) am willing to say what's more common is "Uncomfortable people, make people uncomfortable."

Really sit and think about it. Mofos really be at comfortable people, especially comfortable children. I hate and resent how often growing up that either I or another child was harassed, bullied, hit and beaten by a GROWN ASS ADULT because the kid was relaxed and chill.

Humans envy comfort, and don't like seeing it on other humans, so various forms of harassment come into play.

My view: No lie was told. Humans are used to discord that they can’t believe there are well-adjusted drama-free folks. My mission in life is staying as drama-free as possible, and if I have to deal with it head-on or remove myself from the situation, I will. 

Cheaters

 Thought Of The Day: In my eyes, cheating is an abomination. An abomination is a vile, detestable action, condition or act. In other words, you're stuck like chuck if you commit an abomination. When you take someone as your man or woman, you do so with the intent of staying faithful to them. If you don't want them, why cheat? It's stupid. You two need to part ways because cheating is just going to make you look the fool once you get caught (and you will). Cheaters are not only fools, but so are the men & women who take them back. A cheater didn't care about you when he/she creeped with another man/woman so why on earth would anyone be so dumb to take a cheater back? They said "baby I'm sorry, please forgive me I won't do it no more" You take them back and boom! They cheat again. At some point, you have to cut toxic people loose. If you're with someone that doesn't respect the relationship or you to remain faithful, it's doomed from the start. Then people become hardened and finally cut the person loose, another man or woman comes along that wants to do right by him/her but they won't give them a chance because of what their ex did. Most baggage can be avoided by enforcing boundaries from the start. If someone doesn't respect your boundaries and they walk off, they did you a favor. By showing you who they are, that's less drama you have to deal with.

No matter what plans we make, they should be subject to God’s agenda.

The Irony: Music Groups Split Due To Ego

It’s ironic that New Edition and other successful music groups started out as childhood friends from the same hood, but split because egos got in the way. Fame & fortune can be a curse, just like a blessing.
