A Disciple (What is it?)

A willingness to learn, communication back and forth with adult to adult conversation.

Broken communication patterns indicate the beginning of a declining and failing relationship. Once animosity starts, it always continues to increase, unless serious two-way reconciliation resolves the issues at hand.

"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear."

This quote has always been accurate in my life.

The important thing to realize is "Did you acknowledge the *Timing* of it all, AND are you still in relationship/ discipleship with them today?"

I have been blessed in my life to *trust* that when a mentor approached my life, I embraced them, turned on the Ed Hirsch charm, and fortunately, influenced them to *love me* enough to begin and sustain long-term relationship.

"That special secret lived somewhere in a vast expanse of unexplored knowledge - what I've learned to call what you don't know that you don't know." -- John Milton Fogg

I am a Disciple to:

1) The Bible
2) My Spiritual leader and his wife
3) 2 Traditional Business Associates and 1 Network Marketing Sponsor

There are numerous musical influences who have discipled me through their lyrics as I have come of age as well as many very wise and learned mentors from books I've read and people I have known (know).

I keep open and jot down flashes of wisdom that pop in my mind as I intentionally filter the Do's and Don'ts on my path along Life's purpose.

If you check the Dictionary, *Disciple* means one who accepts and assists in spreading the doctrines of another.

To me, your personal Discipline (any connection with Disciple?) in all the areas of life is in direct relation to how much you love/care for yourself and your commitment to accomplish/fulfill your true purpose in this life time.

Be careful, trust your gut and DO NOT allow yourself to fall victim to the *blind leading the blind.* I see this awful circumstance occur too often. My analogy to this experience is influenced by Bruce Springsteen's *Badlands* where in my interpretatio
Bruce refers to one of the *Prices* we must pay for success is to *Let the Broken Hearts stand* from his Darkness On The Edge Of Tow
1978.

The more you learn, the more you earn ... so learn alot! nnnn
