We watched “The Great Debaters” last night. Interesting flick. Dean and I discussed the whole “white South” issue a bit. I remarked that I wish I could have seen that era, just to understand the great travesty against the black man. Certainly prejudice still exists. Hopefully not to that level. We’re not too far removed from that time…
The greatest weakness of humanity is doubt.
One quote that stood out for me. Do I doubt? I certainly lack some self-confidence. I pray daily for it. And I feel it returning to my spirit. Yet, I’m still frozen at some level. Afraid of failure? Afraid to try? What’s the worse thing that can happen? Success? If success is harder to deal with that failure, then the worst thing would be success. So, I’m afraid of trying because I don’t want to succeed? I have some experience. I know what to do. I know how to do it. And I, for the most part, believe in others. Still that belief structure of myself…
I guess I need to see some small success in my own life. Or at least recognize them given that they are all around me, I fail to see them. Resolved: I need to be strong.
Not sure any of this makes sense today. Just fleshing out some thoughts. Thanks.
