Having a Command Presence

Having a Command Presence

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2506530/fan_mail/new] Do you have "command presence?" Do you know what it means to have command presence? Listen, having command presence means that you have the ability to project calm, confident, and professional authority that earns trust and respect, rather than inducing fear, particularly in high-stakes situations. It combines poised demeanor, ethical behavior, and effective communication to establish leadership and control, often without needing physical force. Whether you know it or not, everyone has a certain level of command presence; some more than others. It is simply a powerful inner quality that can be easily noticed in certain people. For instance, former professional football player and legendary Hall of Fame quarterback, Tom Brady has absolute command presence. From the moment he enters the huddle there is no doubt that his command presence allows the other players on the team to perform at a higher level because of his superior leadership skills and intense work ethic. Brady has a confidence level that is second to none and it is easily noticed by everyone, especially if you closely watch him play the game of football on national television. Another individual with total command presence is the amazing Morgan Wallen. I went to my very first country concert and his command presence was as powerful and amazing as anyone I have ever seen. So trust me, we all have it within us, but the question do you know where to find it within yourself. So many people lack confidence or they are always very low key so you rarely or will never see that command presence. I believe someone will have to challenge that person and work hard to pull out his or her command presence. But, I guarantee that when you do, you will locate the command presence you are looking for and it will surprise you. At the end of the day, I challenge you to look up the definition of command presence and try to find yours for yourself. I promise you it will bring about a level of confidence you could have never imagined!

Going with God

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2506530/fan_mail/new] No matter who you are or where you are from, going with God is the greatest achievement in life, bar-none! So many times in life we go through difficult challenges and are unsure of which direction to go. Well, if you haven't tried Him for yourself, then give God a shot! Over the past 5 years, I have watched millions of people around the world pour their lives into Christ and it is one of the greatest things ever! I have watched many powerful, wealthy athletes and mega-star celebrities turn their lives to Christ, and I'm especially excited over the huge number of young teen-aged people giving their lives to Christ as well! I mean, it is so amazing and I too have made the decision to live for Christ because I want to meet Him when this world is over.  Today, I'm very encouraged by what I see, regardless of the fact that we are living in a very chaotic world fueled by so much hatred, racism, suicides, mass shootings, natural disasters, etc. I know without God being first then we simply cannot make it without Him. The bottom line for us all is to find God before it is too late. He's standing right there waiting for us and all we have to do is take His hand and let Him guide us from darkness into the light! AMEN!

Making A Change

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2506530/fan_mail/new] Many of us around the world frustratingly sit in a particular situation in which we feel grounded in mud and unable to move. You are either too afraid to move or you have been in your respective place for so long that you are unsure if you can move. You simply need to "make a change." Now, imagine being at a job or school or somewhere that you greatly dislike and remaining there year after year but you have done next to nothing to remove yourself from that place. I mean, you continuously complain to anyone who will listen and then you go home and complain to your family, loved ones and friends almost daily as well. So, instead of blaming others for your negative attitude and blatant shortcomings, take a hard look at yourself in the mirror and ask, "Why have I not done anything to remedy my situation?" Once you have done that, I say to you to call on our Mighty God and tell Him what you want because prayer absolutely changes things in life. If you do not believe me, then try it for yourself in a sincere manner and I guarantee you that God will answer your prayers! Always remember, however, that God always operates on His time and not on our time! Listen, so many of us have gone too many years in the same place and you really want to do what you were born to do. You know better than anyone else where you are supposed to be doing but you again have done nothing to get there. Just step out on faith in Jesus' Name and let His will be done for you and you will get exactly where He intended for you to be. However, if you do not believe the possible when it comes to God's Will then it will simply be impossible for you to receive His Grace and Mercy! Finally, my challenge to anyone out there who needs to make a change is for you to trust in God's Will, reach for the highest peak and then go and obtain the life that He meant for you to live!

Fire Fire Fire!

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2506530/fan_mail/new] The weight of death can be the most demoralizing situation an individual, a family, a community, a school, a workplace, etc., can go through. Imagine a family of four; a young mother with three children under 10 years of age encountering a fire inside their 2d story apartment building. Mom awakens to the smoke detectors repeatedly going off. She gets up immediately and gathers her children into one room. She realizes there is no way to get out of the front door of the apartment. 911 is called and are fast enroute. However, the fire is quickly spreading and Mom has to make critical, life-saving decisions.  Mom springs into action by opening the window of the bedroom. At this point, the only opportunity to save her children, regardless of her life is to drop them out of the window. Fear and panic set in because there is no plan in place to combat the fire and get herself and her children to safety. The fire is barrelling close and closer to the room. Suddenly, police arrive on scene but time is quickly running out and the fire department is still making their way to the scene. Mom tells the police the fire is coming into the room and that she must get her children to safety, so please, "Do me a favor and catch them as I lower them out of the window and then release them for you to catch." Of course, the children are in an absolute panic. Mom lowers Kid 1 out first and then lets him go and police safely catch him. She does the same for Kids 2 and 3 and gets them to safety as well.  The fire is now barrelling inside the room with only Mom left to save. The police tell her to tie sheets together, tie them to the bed post and then lower herself out of the window. Mom is freaking out but time has run out and she takes immediate action. While lowering herself out of the window, the sheets rip but luckily she is caught by a group of First Responders. So listen, take the time to look at your place of residence and ask yourself if you have items right now that can combat a house fire. If the answer is no, take the time to invest in fire extinguishers, fire protection blankets, etc. Go online and research the cost of these items and also get with your local fire department and ask them to assist you in setting up a Fire Safety Prevention Plan for your respective places of residence. At the end of the day, lives continue to be lost because we are without an effective plan that can save lives, so let's stop procrastinating and get it done!

The Power of Hate

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2506530/fan_mail/new] One of the most tumultuous, dangerous and cancerous words today is "Hate." The word has a damaging kind of radius that can destroy the life of one, a few or many. Sure, many of us use it on a regular basis but it is not meant in harmful nature. For instance, you will often hear someone say, "Man, I hated that game winning shot on last night because it cost me money, or, I hate you man because you are a clown." These are the kinds of statements you say around your friends that don't really mean much.  However, when the word hate is used in a serious and more demeaning nature, it can truly become dangerous for others. For example, I recently overheard several young gentlemen having a conversation about a particular individual. One young man said, "If I see him right now I would bust him in has face and beat the hell out of him repeatedly!" I was like wow! That's very threatening language and it absolutely sounded like bad intentions. I mean, think about it, if you hear someone discuss another person or persons in a very violent nature, that should tell you that he or she means business and there may perhaps be a hit of hatred form that person toward the other person. Whether you know the individual or not, you may need to further assess the situation and safely take action to ensure that it is not a matter that will happen where you are located. At the end of the day, I believe we need to do everything in our power to remove the word from our daily language. I know we use the word hate in a more humorous nature almost all the time but there is a time when the word is meant to harm another. Maybe the person's race or the color of their skin creates the hate in someone unknowingly. Think about the days of Slavery for Blacks or The Holocaust for Jews. Those are serious examples of hate, so for me, I despise the word and I work daily to never use it and so should you!
