What are you doing for you?

I heard of a story of a young man in Grand Bahama being counseled recently and I can only applaud the gentleman who did the counseling.

The young man had apparently went to restaurant to beg for food but what he got was so much more as the business man explained that if he fed him, he would be back but explained to him the ways of the system and how to get some money and how to help himself.

Then came the important question that he asked the young man, "but, what are you doing for you?"

It is a wake up call for all Grand Bahama residents living here after the storms of 2004/2005 - "What are you doing for you?"

Yes it has been rough but there is something you can do.

Yes the government and the Grand Bahama Port Authority pose some challenges especially if you think you don't know someone important or that you are not connected to someone important.

But you can do something for you.

If there are no jobs, follow your passion and do what you love to do an it should make you some money.

In the bible, God asked Moses, What do you have your hand?

Moses had a rod and only a rod and he became one of the most talked about leaders of all time.

What do you have in your hand? What is your passion?

My passion is to see Grand Bahama turn around and the economy do better. So I write about the positive and try to encourage others to see a more positive more ahead.



The next great bit of advice told the young man was that although he thought he only needed money that money is not the answer to his problem. He was told that the rich have money and still have no satisfaction and are killing themselves with what money can buy.

What he needed was to find his purpose but he told the young man he had to make that first step.

I borrowed this inspirational video from Youtube to express all this.
