JumpStart- Your Duty

AUDIO

SYNOPSIS

“To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.” -e.e.Cummings

You will always find those who think they know what your duty is better than you.

Back when I was a church minister, it amazed me how often people would tell me how I should dress, believe, think, handle situations, and do every aspect of my job.

The problem is not that people have opinions as to how we should do things–that’s inevitable. 

The problem is that many of us accept other people’s opinions when we know they are not right for us.

Today, let’s address being yourself – – the hardest and most important thing you’ll ever do.

Be sure to post your questions and comments, I always reply to them personally.
