Breakfast of Heroes

Pride & Accomplishment

Pride & Accomplishment

Every six weeks I get a group of men from ages 16 to 65 together to discuss the various topics facing men today. Our next breakfast is this Sunday and I’m looking forward to it. This is just a part of my effort to buy credit with God. When I attempt to enter the pearly gates of heaven, it will help me build a counter argument against the devil that currently has a strong case against me. Spending time to benefit others as opposed to just myself is purposeful time spent.

I am inviting a recent college grad and a hero of mine, Peter Tadros to the breakfast. After we lost contact a number of years ago, He Googled me to invite me to attend his college graduation. He gives me the credit of encouraging him to pursue a college education through my work with my non-profit. Last week we both shared in the pride of his accomplishment.  I have faith that his accomplishments are his alone and he’d be successful with or without my help. Yet for what ever positive force I may have represented to him, I am truly grateful. The opportunity to inspire and witness people overcoming their own doubt is a gift from God. Peter Tadros and I are each others Hero.

    Thumbs up! Its extremely humbling when someone credits you for influencing their lives in a positive light. All your hard work has not gone unnoticed and has reached at least one! Keep up the hard work!
