The Promised Land

Successful Brothers,

"I don't know what to say really 10 minutes away from the biggest battle of my academic life and we're scared right now; now we can either stay scared or we can fight our way out of fear back into the light. "

Yes the promised land! What else is there to call it? A twelve year battle has now come to it's climax. The crescendo has been reached. I'm the point in my life I have been fighting for since I joined the Freedom Project six years ago, College!
As I exit my first class I can not help but feel ready. I know this is where I am suppose to be. As hard as it is to leave I understand that this, for now,for the school year, is my life purpose. Me!
College strangely enough is the place that fits me. It is the third place I feel at home.
The lesson in this story for all Successful Brothers is that life, like everything else, has many purposes for many time periods. Your job is the find your purpose for this time period and complete it! Often easier said than done. For some of us our purpose is obvious: complete 8th grade or graduate high school. For others of us, our purpose is hidden or confused and it takes a little longer for us to realize what they are. They are mixed in with all the other things we want to do with our lives and the people we want to impact. They are choices and life altering decisions that we must make no matter how hard it is, but rest assured there is a purpose. Somewhere? For most of them,purposes I mean, you find them one piece at a time far away from where you started and when the puzzle is finished you understand.
The Promised Land! Yes, the Promised Land. I love it! It is the next piece of my puzzle. What I've been fighting for. The Promised Land!Hallelujah The promised Land!

Successful Brothers Assignment!

I would like each Successful Brother to write no less then a one and a half page paper explaining their purpose right now. Also, I would like you to explain the purpose of Successful Brothers and maybe the Freedom Project into detail about each one. The last project of the summer you where asked to write about your intention in life. Explain how your purpose right now helps that. Mail it to Chris Perkins, CPO 1081, 101 Chestnut Street, Berea KY,40404-0001

Helpful Hint: Your Purpose does not have to be anything huge or impacting. Purpose is just something you have to do for a Reason! E-mail me with questions brothersofsuccess@gmail.com. Or at yahoo
