Would THEY Blacken Your Face OUT?

Would they blacken out your face if you left?

Do we matter THAT much?

We all want to be accepted, liked, LOVED!

It’s the innate yearning that’s more a part of us than the very first time we let out a cry.

For the second time in four years, LaBron James made a DECISION that literally has effected thousand of lives, not to mention his own and his family’s. Not just Cleveland, not just Miami, but the Country, the World was waiting for where LaBron was going to play basketball next. He made his decision last Friday and reactions were fierce everywhere. Anger in Miami. Pure Party-in-the-streets hysteria in Cleveland.

Why would LaBron be cause for such craziness? For such opposing reactions? LaBron stirs up the pot of emotions so much because he’s the best basketball player in the world. People love him and others just love to hate him. Psssst…that means he matters. He’s doing relevant, amazing things.

I mean, shouldn’t we really be cheering Teachers who pay for their students supplies? For Police Officers? Firefighters? Those Serving our Country?

Maybe. . .perhaps if we want to be relevant, change our own little geographical spot before we entertain world domination, it begins with the willingness to not be liked.

DARE YOU? It might be the biggest challenge of your life? We can tell people what they WANT to hear and maybe be liked. . .

Or we can tell folks what they NEED to hear and become meaningful, relevant, significant and empowering.

Uh-ohhhh…this could mean that the very first cry we screamed could be repeated without that slap across the bottom. It could mean that we just might find out for the first time in our lives that being our Ultimate Selves, we may gain some haters and DOING something Significant? Because it’s true isn’t it? If we are not being hated, criticized, questioned–we’re really NOT doing anything that substantial?

This kind of leads us down that unkept road with the YIELD Sign that Screams:

Would THEY Blacken out Your Face. . .?
