What inspires you to overlook what you perceive to be someone else's "short comings?" When he looks past mines and still loves me anyway.

What inpires you to be a leader? I have never considered myself a leader, but I will take over the reins when I have to keep telling you how to do something, that is important for me, and you keep getting it wrong. That is when I take the lead, and I'm very comfortable in doing so.

What inspires you to tell the deepest truth? The truth is valuable to any meaningful relationship. I know that the truth may hurt sometimes but lies can be very damaging. I read on a website that "a lie is only powerful when it looks like the truth? The deepest truth takes the force and power out of a lie.

What inspires you to tell the deepest truth? I'm learning more and more about this as the weeks and months go by. And I think the reasoning differs depending of the situation. But today I realized that for woman truth allows her to encapsulate herself from having to pay the price for every fragility and mistake in man's ego and nature. The deepest truth is sacred balm that keeps the spores of wickedness from engrafting itself to you. And on cloudy days like this, the deepest truth allows you to declare to the greatest of men that you are not the sole of their feet but rather you are the precious spirit and heart beat that continues to give light and life in spite of. The deepest truth is what can allow a woman to remain soft when others would want her to throw her femininity away and the right to be loved  to be hard and strong, out of convenience not for her but for someone else.

What inspires you to overlook what you perceive to be someone else's short comings? When you perceive that the issue may be the result of fear you try to look past that and get to the heart of the matter.

What inspires you to take the next step, no matter how large? If you've ever witnessed a young adult deprive their selves of the oxygen of life of a higher level of thinking, living, and learning and embrace life where women are not respected and children are not protected, you understand the importance of not holding yourself captive to the warped thinking that sears the soul where seemingly no growth seems to live. Your spirit is awakened to the notion that you must step back and leap pray for others to have the courage to do the same.

What inspires you to overlook what you perceive to be someone else's "short comings?"

Pat Ballard

 

This is an easy one for me to answer.

My mom and I both love to people watch. We'd go to the mall and do so. Rule was, you could not make fun of anyone who could not change what was wrong with them. So, of course, obvious disabilities could not be made fun of, she made fun of someone for clothes, and I said (But maybe they can't afford better, not allowed), I made fun of someone with short hair cut (Mom said, maybe they have cancer or something, not allowed)...and so on during people watching. The moral of the story was, you never know if what you perceive as someone's shortcoming is something for which they can do nothing.

So, I don't make fun of or call attention to anyone Else's, lest they should do it to me, and I cannot do anything about my short comings.

If you knew no one would ever see your work, what would you write? It would be very, very rude.

You know that may not be all bad. I remember hearing growing up that good girls come in last. I don't know that that's true or if rude and good are necessarily the same but there may be something to it. There may be something real and legitimate to not always being polite. Many of us avoid being rude because it isn't proper but maybe just maybe there's some liberty in being able to write about.
