Do Something Great

"Every man is born into the world to do something unique and something distinctive, and if he or she does not do it, it will never be done."
--Dr. Benjamin E. Mays

Dr. Benjamin Elijah Mays (August 1, 1895 (?) – March 28, 1984) was an African-American minister, educator, scholar, social activist and the president of Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia. He was also a significant mentor to civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and was among the most articulate and outspoken critics of segregation before the rise of the modern civil rights movement in the United States.

Every human was born to do something so why are some of us just sitting around waiting for someone else to do something great? What about you??? If you don’t do something then who will?? If you’re not sure of your purpose, seek God for your answer. He’ll certainly direct your path.

Hello unique person! You were meant to do something distinctive so, what’s the problem? Well preacher, ‘I don’t have any resources.’ Do you know at least 2 people you can trust? Then call upon them for help. Do you have any extra time? Use it. Do you have any extra money? Invest it wisely. Do you know Jesus? Call on him!! Activate your faith. Don’t just sit around making up excuses why you shouldn’t try. If you fail, try again. If your methods and techniques are not working, try some new ones. You will succeed according to your God-given purpose. Just don’t give up hope.

Use all of your resources with honorable intentions and you’ll come to find that you have all the gifts and talents you need to at least get started. Begin to live out your greatness!! NEVER forget your main source and that is God. Without God we can do nothing but with God we can do all things. Take a look at Phil 4:13 in The Inspired Word of God. (The Bible)

So, how will you celebrate YOUR heritage? Become a business owner or employee or both. Work for a living – Jesus did. Do what’s right and fair. Live a godly life because Jesus paid too much for us to want to live any other way. Love your neighbors as God loves us. Liking your neighbor is another story...(let's keep it real)...but love is a requirement for all who belong to the Family of Believers. (Christians) not talking 'bout the church folk -- there's a major difference)

Let’s put away excuses and begin to really celebrate in freedom and love. Serve God and each other. Have respect for your elders, your pastors, your teachers, your parents & siblings, your friends and YOURSELF. Take pride in all you do but don’t be haughty with it because God detests that attitude. Be authentic. Volunteer in your community. Give something away. An open hand is able to receive but if your hands are closed, nothing can come in because nothing is going out. Love your children. Take care of your pets. Do something unique. Don't be a copy-cat and own someone else's greatness. You can never work it like they can!

Every human is born into the world to do something unique and something distinctive, and if he or she does not do it, it will never be done.

So, let 's get to work and make something GREAT happen!
