“...visions are messages from the Great Spirit, each for a different purpose in life. Consequently, one person's vision may not be that of another. To have a vision, one must be prepared to receive it, and when it comes, to accept it. Thus when these inner urges become reality, only then can visions be fulfilled. The spiritual side of life knows everyone's heart and who to trust. How could a vision ever be given to someone to harbor if that person could not be trusted to carry it out. The message is simple: commitment precedes vision.” IfsKnowsHeartMayPersonsDifferentRealitySpiritualSpiritPurposeSpiritualityGivenSidesSimpleAcceptingVisionMessagesCommitmentPreparedUrgesPurpose Of LifeTrustedFulfilledBe PreparedHarborsGreat SpiritWho To Trust Author:Tim McCoy

“In 1989 at Greater Saint Steven Full Gospel Church, I gave my life to Christ. That's pretty much where it all started for me. I was 23 years old at the time, right after my first year in the NBA. The pastor preached a message about being fully committed. That pretty much was me. I wasn't fully committed. I was kind of in and out all of the time.

“It is not OK in this culture to talk to friends about causes you believe in, much less to ask them to join in. It's OK to blast perfect strangers with crass messages every hour of the day, but it's a tinge embarrassing, it brings up some shyness, it seems an intrusion, it risks rejection to share real heartfelt commitments. It's easier to share our cynicism with strangers than our dreams with friends.” BelieveRealDreamSeemsCultureAsksCausesHoursPerfectRiskShareFriendsEasierMessagesCommitmentStrangerRejectionCynicismEmbarrassingOur DreamsBlastShynessHeartfeltIntrusionCrassPerfect Strangers Author:Donella Meadows
