We as people need to be comfortable in our own shoes. We need to be stable in our own skin. We need to be satisfied with where we are and are going in life. We all are smart. We all are resourceful. Most of all, we all are dynamic. There is no color to our convictions. There are no levels to our beliefs. There is no standard appearance for our ages or careers.
As actress Raven Symone said “I’m from every continent in Africa.” She’s right if she is speaking about the most distant part of our human history. If she’s not referring to that, she needs a serious sit-down with Dr. Henry Louis Gates and let’s hope his door is open this time to his office or home. However, let’s be happy for the country, communities, and citizens that God has given us. We have the most freedoms in the world compared to any other superpower. Let’s not restrict them by depending on our imperfect minds that naturally depend on colors, clothing, and years of presence on this earth to determine how we should be living.
Your body is your temple, and so is your mind. Don’t limit it by confining your mind to things that pull you away from other people instead of pulling you together with the similarities we all share. Being high-minded with your ethics, morals, intelligence, and spirituality is needed to be a good citizen. Being prudently principled based on those things is a requisite too for being a good person. And being an immaculately impartial person will always pull you back to the truth when you’re invariably tempted to be led astray. We all have potential. We all have promise. We all have infinite possibilities and can acquire certain capabilities. Let’s be dependent on that and not tags.
I would like for my former colleague SC Governor and UN Ambassador Nikki Haley to post a social media status using a bible verse from the countries that are mentioned in the Holy Bible weekly. We as Americans must use the positive body, energy, force, and spirit of God to help us everyday.
