The Historical Prada Building in Milan

Ted Williams Encourages us to accomplish!

Today was a rather interesting day for me; I came to the realization that no matter what I should and can never let go of what dreams and goals I have for myself.  At the the place where I decided it was over I was forwarded an e mail of "the homeless man with the golden voice!"

I read his story, I looked him up, I identified with the things I read and the things he said about himself. This man was honest about his life, he was grateful for whatever he could get in the form of help from passersby. What intrigued me most was his humility but I mean how can you be homeless and uppity (no offense). This man said he “prayed to God for one more chance.” In a time when the power of God is continually questioned, and the ability of prayers strength is continually talked about as something that needs to be proven, this man got an answer!

Who would have thought a reporter from the Columbus dispatch would have stopped by and changed this man’s life for the rest of it. Yesterday this man had nowhere to go and today it has been made official that he has signed on to be the announcer for the CAVS. Along with the job the man was given a house by his new employer. This man was so blessed with the opportunity of a second chance it is stated that various entities went into a bidding war for the gift this man has.

“The homeless man with the golden voice,” is living proof that strong faith supersedes factual doubt, and that your gift will indeed make room for you. This story screams to us that life never gives up on a person who has not given up on themself. I think what’s greatest about this story is the fact that through all the years this man was reunited with his mother. What a blessing! After years of living beneath who he is, he returns home to see his mother to show her how he has cleaned himself up and turned his life around.

This man gave me some hope! Many times we mistake “no” for “not right now” or we may be seeking something beneath what we are entitled to and until we get the vision for more it seems as though we live life stuck in/on pause until the moment clarity interrupts our current vision to take it on as the continual sight to see with. We are entitled to all the greatness we can believe for, through that it is promised that we can have success if we work for it!

Even in a world turned upside down, with a housing market systematically gone to pots I still believe in miracles! If a homeless man can come to himself miles away from home, still live on the street and survive to one day become one of the most sought after individuals on the face of the earth with millions viewing his viral video, to in turn to ink a promising job that he enjoys, land a home, and end up reunited with his mother.

Then I too can achieve that which I have set in my heart as a goal and a dream for my life. I hope that you all who dream, decide today to dream big, to live on purpose, and to execute to the best of your abilities, I hope that you understand that you in deed are the greatest miracle walking, talking, and breathing. If life had no use for you then it would do away with you, the mere fact that you are still breathing, and dreaming, proves that there is great need for you now! At this time!

I challenge you today to live your life maximizing your gift and your usage of it. Open up the box that contains your treasure given to you and work it!
