Cedric Crawford (I have a DREAM)-3On this MLK Monday I’m reminded of the irrefutable reality that bullets from the gun of a homicidal opposition may kill a noble and just Dreamer but it takes much more than that to kill a noble and just Dream.

What was this dream you may ask?  Well, it was a dream for equality as I understand it.  A dream without fear of ridicule or retribution I’m told.  A dream of compassion and understanding I’m sure I read somewhere.  A dream of a union and consolidation into one race, called the “Human Race.”

The irony is the “Dreamer” died during his quest, fighting for all to have the equal right to pursue their “Dream.”  No this man was not the first to have such a dream and he most definitely won’t be the last.  Dreamers exist in all shape, sizes, colors, creeds and kinds and I’m proud to say that I’m a member of the “Dreamers Club” too.

A great man once said that you’re never really living unless you’ve discovered something you’d die for.  If this is true, then to put one’s self in harms way for a dream and belief should be considered the most noble of all, especially when that dream is selfless instead of selfish.

So, the big question today is, for what dream or cause are you willing to die for?  I invite you to find the answer and get to living.  I invite you to join me today in dreaming a BIG dream in honor of the “Dreamer.”  I’ll go first.

I have a BIG Dream that one day having a BIG Dream and chasing that BIG Dream won’t be looked at as being taboo. Also, when it comes to pursuing that BIG Dream, may those doubting friends and family members willingly cancel their memberships in the “Discouragement Club” and become #1 supporters in the “Encouragement Club.”

Maybe one day this BIG Dream will come true or maybe I’m just dreaming.  Hmmmm…  Dream a BIG Dream and let’s work to make it GREAT!

CCrawford Believe (BreadCrumbs)Eye’s straight ahead will undoubtedly reduce the chances of you having an accident, so strategizing for your future is a welcomed activity in my book.  Are you ready to become who you already are?  Do you believe you’re capable of GREAT things?  Never mind.  Don’t answer those rhetorical questions.  I know you’re ready.  You’re welcome to lean on my belief in you until your belief in yourself fully kicks in.

I know something about you even though I may not know you personally. You were built and designed to be an “Overcomer“.  If that were not true, you wouldn’t be here today.  You would’ve acted on the quite, subtle thoughts of ending it all a looooong time ago.  Yes, I know you.  I know that your biggest battles in this life are the ones that you fight on the battle field of your own mind due to the countless heartaches and heartbreaks of the distant and not-so-distant-past events in your life.  But again, I call you “OVERCOMER!” because you’re still here.  I believe in YOU!

Many have missed their opportunity to affirm the strengths in you down through the years, but not me.  I will not miss my opportunity to say to you today that you are indeed a rare breed and are destined for GREAT things if you choose to embrace who you have become.  Yes, I know your kind very well.  I believe in you and to you I say today, congratulations for making it this far in your book of life.  Now it’s time to turn the page and grab a new ballpoint pen and start writing out the new and dramatically improved “YOU” for the entire world to see.

Someone desperately needs to hear your story of how you did it and how you’re doing it, so if not for your own sake, do it for them and your actions will not go unrewarded.  “Overcomer” you are and I applaud your efforts thus far, but your standing ovation awaits you in the days ahead.

So move forward today and everyday hereafter with a renewed vision of who you are, what you’re doing and why you’re here.  Let there be no question in your mind that you were custom-designed for a task such as this.  I say again, I believe in you and I encourage you to believe in “you,” for if you truly believe in your heart all things then become possible for you.

Congratulations in advance for those lives that will be forever changed because you did not pass on your unique opportunity to share your story like “Most People” would’ve.  Let’s continue to make it GREAT together!!!!!

You’re AWESOME just for being here.  Don’t take that awesomeness to the grave with you.  Not you…  Let’s share it.  Believe in your heart that you can and take this breadcrumb and make it GREAT!

To Be Continued……..

Cedrc Crawford Photo -3It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to…  But, I don’t feel much like crying, I feel like posting a message on the internet to tell the world that I’m happy to still be above ground and breathing.  Some didn’t quite make it this far but I did and I’m not planning on wasting the moment.

42 and I’m not through.  42 with so much more to do.  42 and still serving you.  I couldn’t decide which motto to settle on for my 42nd birthday today so I thought I’d use them all.

Yes it was on this day 42 years ago that I got my first spanking and took my first breath.  I can’t pretend to know when it’ll be my last but I’m guessing it’s sometime in the not-so-distant future, so I can’t spend much time sitting around worrying about it.

I heard that the more birthdays you have the longer you live, so I plan to have as many as I can.  Sooooo much more to do with an unknown amount of time to do it in can be a bit perplexing at times, yet I press-on and endure.

Truth be told, I feel like I’ve just finished the salad-appetizer of life at this stage so I’ve kept my fork in anticipation of the main course.  So stay tuned for the chicken-fried steak and eggs with a mouth-watering gravy that’s to die for or even live for.  🙂

Today I renew my commitment to continue to source and serve others until my time is up.  Yes, you can fully expect me to continue in my efforts to make this good life, GREAT!!!  42 and I’m not through!!!

WContradictory Prayere should be careful what we pray for and how we pray for it because we just might end up confusing the one we’re praying to.  If we’re not careful we may oftentimes find ourselves praying what I call a “contradictory prayer.”  On the one hand, a prayer for strength and growth while on the other hand, at the same time praying to avoid the rain and strain of adversity can be a bit confusing to say the least.

I invite you to consider the following thoughts if you will.  How can we expect to grow without the water and rain and strain of adversity and challenges?  The very essence of such elements are designed to make us stronger and wiser.  Falling, failing and faltering are absolutely necessary in the success and growth process.  So, we pray NOT for a life without loss, adversity, suffering or failure, but we do pray for the ability to utilize those gifts that have been given to us to the fullest of their potential and to the best of our ability.  We pray for the stamina to endure through what comes our way and learn quickly from our mistakes so as to not repeat them.

Understand today that no matter how many times you fail you’re still miles ahead of those who haven’t even tried at all.  No matter how small your steps are you’re still yards ahead of those who are afraid to move.  And, no matter how many times you fall, you’re still several feet taller than those who don’t even make an effort to get back up again.

A clear prayer definitely clears the air of contradiction.  So let’s enjoy the rays of the sunshine and embrace the strain of the rain because in it all lie’s the hope for growth and strength and a better tomorrow.  And never ever forget that life’s too short to just make it good, so let’s use the breadcrumbs of knowledge and wisdom to make it GREAT!
