Who am I?

soo, who am I? for you to see this blog you probably already know my name and the basic things about me... but the purpose of this blog is......... darn... what is the purpose of this blog?? while i reflect on that, let's continue... Who am I? Who is ____ ____?

I have to tell you that in everything I strive to put God first. I started a relationship w/ Jesus Christ about 5 years ago and to God be the glory I am growing.

So in the next few lines i am going to go into random things about me. Because this is blogging it probably will not be coherent but I do hope it is not too distracting or too random!

To get into it quickly;
-There are two parts of me. There is a serious me and there is a ... i don't want to term it "foolish" or "wild" but there is a part of me that likes to joke around, gyrate etc. This is who i am and this is where balance comes in. I believe balance is one of the 3 most important things in life. I believe the most important thing in life (not counting salvation) is Respect... or is it Balance??

1. Respect for yourself (MOST IMPORTANT-because to respect yourself is to be automatically disciplined, have integrity etc... This is the most difficult but the most rewarding because everything else becomes complete from this

2. Respect for the appropriate things/people

3. BALANCE

More about me??
-It is in my nature to love. I have come to realize that it is in my instinct, nature to show love (especially to the single ladies, [joke, pls]). And I made a conscious decision that regardless of how anyone treats me I will not alter or try to alter my nature. Of course I will be smart and adapt based on circumstances but I will not change my nature.

-It is also in my nature to adapt. I believe the mindset of adaptability is critically important due to the dynamic world we live in.

MOST IMPORTANT THINGS (this list looks confusing i am sure... but in later blogs i will expound on them)
1. GOD
2. STRUCTURE
3. BALANCE
I think the most important thing in any individual's life should be BALANCE.  All these three things are highly interconnected. I want to talk more about BALANCE. Without BALANCE you cannot be fulfilled, complete or have joy.  So what do I mean balance? I want BaLaNcE in my life.. Balance in my finances, family life, career, christian life, health, etc etc

It is a new dimension of thinking; to understand that to get the most out of life means to be balanced; there are stages you must go through before you can reach this stage. I liken it to when I was learning about leadership and qualities of leaders. In an interview I was asked... "what is the most important trait of a leader?" or something like that.
I answered saying something like "confidence" or "tact". I don't think the person agreed with me but that is besides the point. Looking back if I am asked that question again I would say the answer is either BALANCE and if balance is not an acceptable answer I will say the answer is COMPETENCE. What is competence? Being qualified to be a leader... knowing what it takes to be a leader. As a leader you need different qualities in different proportions depending on several things.. (ex circumstances)

I think I went on a tangent and do not know how to get back to the topic of Balance. for now this is the end of my blog. I will continue later. :)
