Was on the TL of a mentor in business of mine; saw a post, that reminded me of one of the greatest sermons I've ever heard; about the 3 types of people in our lives
"Watch out for the characters not the colors in life" ...
Confidants "you'll have VERY FEW of them" - these are the people in our lives who love us UNCONDITIONALLY: they are into YOU; they are IN for the long haul; If you get in trouble they'll get in trouble with you; You can open up and share anything with them; "Cant be David till you find your Jonathan"
Constituents - "They are not into you; they are into what you are FOR; they are for, what you are For" -- as LONG as you are for what they are for, they will walk with you and labor with you; BUT never think that they are FOR you - if they meet someone else who'll take them further they'll leave you; because they are not for you; They are just FOR what you are FOR --- disloyal tho ---
Comrades - "They are against, what you are Against" - they are also NOT for you; NOR are they FOR what you are FOR; they are AGAINST what you are Against; These are ... 'strange bedfellows' .... people who will team up With you to fight a Greater enemy; BUT don't be confused by their associations; they will only be with you until the Victory is Complete; like "Scaffolding" - they will be 'removed' when the building is complete;
---- expect the Comrades and Constituents to LEAVE you after a while; Because they were NEVER really with you in the first place... So be careful WHO you tell your DREAM to.
::: if you tell a Constituent your Dream, they'll leave you and accomplish it with someone else; If you tell a Comrade your dream, they won't act on it; they're not FOR you; they are only against what you are against; if we have a Confidant, we can share our dream with them because they will TRULY be happy for you....
powerful message; heard him preach it a few times :: needed to re-hear it tonight; sharing for anyone else....
