Para Mi Corazon, Emotional Intellligence and Authenticity.

Friends at Pattern Realm, Pattern Realm, perhaps you look at the news and feel the whole world’s gone crazy. There’s economic and political upheaval even in your own country, and the slaughter of unborn innocents. Not to mention those with disabilities in rural areas facing logistical problems in living independantly. Honestly, there are days I lie in bed and pray, crying out to Heavenly Father feeling like I want to go Home. Days I just feel likke giving up Because in a world where dreamers and thought leaders are craving fellowship and finding none the sting of that hurts living on. Catastrophizing and self doubt are the tools of fear that are enemies of our success. I know them all to well suffering from bipollar disorder PTSD and imposter syndrone. But then I think about a Sunday discussion a few weeks ago at church when my bishop opened up a discussion about the founding documents of America. More particularly what stirs me is talking about what the p...

Lessons Fro The Blind

Image
Dear Friends at Pattern Realm, This blog tells stories of self empowerment in the blindness c ommunity. Blind people for too long have been surrounded by stigma and misconception. But yesterday I sat down with my good friend and fellow Toastmaster Mike to talk about lessons both of have learned as men who happen to be blind. We believe in self advocacy and empowerment. 3 days ago in Sunday School a teacher with caution asked me "I know that you are blind, but not offending you, I notice you can see to read, how is that." I calmly explained to him that there was no offense taken. Blindness is just a simple physical characteristic that doesn't define us. I could've patterned my life life after Theodore Roosevelt, but I had people who saw a better path for mine. No one owes us equality. With alternative techniques the blind can function in society on terms of full equality. Leaders like George Card, Jacobus Tenbrook Kenneth Jern...

Covenant Business Leadership Without Selling Out

Image
Legacy Patterns at Pattern Realm Believe it’s absolutely, you could climb the corporate ladder nd be a flashy bigshot, speak to corporations living a flashy lifestyle. But in the end is it really worth it. Jesus spoke an ancient truth in Matthew 8;36. You find you gain the whole world and wake up and lose your soul, when i started writing back in 2015 i prayed to God that he bring me higher, but keep me humble. 9 years later, he sent me Blanca to be my eternal companion. Brothers and sisters members of Legacy Patterns i tell you this, mi Princessa wil never let me sell out my spiritual birthright for a pile of cash with a busted life. It’s ok to have wealth, but it is not ok to sell out to something that compromises your core values. Now i know some people think i am being very harsh. But i used to want to be rich period, Just saw this ad of a speaker guru offering this flashy package to help thought leaders. I don’t buy it, because it says this “Pay me money,...

White Shirt Anthology

Image
Dear Pattern Realm, Imagine this, you are speaking at a major convention where tickets are sold out. People are cheering your name. But like me you aren’t a sellout. I believe in this second act of our eternal existence we can find meaning or be a sellout to the story. Severing those ties for a covenant business is a better path. “Pure religion and undefiled is this, to visit the homes of the fatherless and the widows and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.” (James 1;27. That means don’t sell out to the Machine, but to the Hidden Council of God in Jesus Christ. My podcast may be in Apple Podcast, but the way I see it I’m willing to be a professional not to sell out to a corrupt system, but with the Heavenly Council. That’s where I am. White shirts must be kept clean. You know I’ve been married to my eternal companion for a year and a half I fight for my marriage as a Priesthood man when. All her life she’s had men be rough with her or want one thing, I don...

Hello Pattern Realm, Today my topic is a bit more human and more spiritual that what I usually do. This strikes to the heart of the issue of faith business and marriage. Blanca and I have been married civilly for nearly a year and a half. We've been sealed for time and all eternity for 8 months and it has been a blessing. But maybe sometimes even in marriage we become exposed to our flaws. Just recently Blanca asked me to watch another session of conference of her old church The Lord's Recovery. But I said no. I thought I wasn't doing anything wrong. But my bishop reminds me that even though I didn't agree with the doctrines I stilll needed to repent to Blanca. It was slow going, but we are doing good. The Scriptures have the rules for marriage and doing business. If I'm not exxercising my faith, it means that I am called to repent. Daily repentance is part of the Christian life, whether we like it or not. I am trying to launch...

Launch Just Launch

Image
Hey Pattern Realm in Sovereign Springs Hello Pattern Realm, today I want to talk to you about the commandment !! When I was in 7thj grade I competed for Student Counsel at my local junior high school. I had a distant cousin who told my parents “That school? There’s no way, James can win!” But I won and catapulted in the 8th grade to run for President of the Student Council, without promising the moon. In college, I launched my own Amway Business, a mastermind genesis was born. First, stop waiting for a Covenant assignment. Most businesses in Covenant Business ownership start with faith, not strategy. I can sit there and make strategy until I’m blue in the face. But unless I launch, little good it dones! Let me be firm, it’s not always easy to launch to have a good business. You may say like me “But I don’t have all the capital.” Yes, that’s true, but sometimes God, our Heavenly Father wants us to just launch the business, and then capital will follow. ...

God Closes One Door and Opens Another

Image
Legacy Pattern Friends at Sovereign Springs Today I want to share with you a truth that transcends Sunday. Oftentimes we are met with grief and disappointment when God closes a door. But never forget that when God closes a door, he opens another. I'll tell you right now, Blanca, mi Princessa. I'd be neck deep in sorrow if it wasn't for her. She comes along and lightens my birdens. Nearly 1 and a half years and we're going strong. I hold her very dear to my heart. Yesterday, I ran for 2 officer positions with my local Toastmasters Club. I surrendered one to a friend so she could serve, and I lost another. At first I was crushed, grief stricken. But then I discovered the truth. 1. Pause Button: Often there's a pause between a door closed by God till he opens another door. This need not be a desparing time, but a preparing time for you to take advantage of new opportunities. 2. Exercise Faith and Agency to Enter the Right Door. ...
