| “I believe everyone has a purpose in this life that is revealed when we choose to approach each day with love and the willingness to be part of something greater than ourselves and our existence. It is keeping our hearts and minds open and not giving up on life, to drown out the noise we sometimes create with our busy schedules and listen patiently to the voice inside that whispers: This is why you are here.” Chadrick Black Author Bio • Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from the University of North Alabama, and received advanced training in public speaking and research. • Marketing and sales experience with a fortune 500 company ( A large pharmaceutical company), and the 6th largest independent insurance agency in the U.S. • Years of counseling experience with hundreds of hours of group presentations on topics such as drug dependency, depression, anger management, personal success, relationships, goal setting, and life management. Chadrick currently lives with his wife, Dana, daughter Allie, and their two English Bulldogs, (Sam and Savannah), in Tennessee. Works in Progress The Team of Dreams In The Shadow of Success |
| The most secret, sacred wish that lies deep down at the bottom of your heart, the wonderful thing that you hardly dare to look at, or to think about – the thing that you would rather die than have anyone else know of, because it seems so far beyond anything that you are, or have at the present time, that you fear that you would be cruelly ridiculed if the mere thought of it were known – that is just the very thing that God is wishing you to do or to be for him. And the birth of that marvelous wish in you soul – the dawning of that secret dream – was the Voice of God himself telling you to arise and come up higher because he had need of you. Emmet Fox Your Heart’s Desire, ca. 1922 |
“It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are.” A favorite
professor shared Edward Cumming’s proclamation with me at the beginning of my
freshman year of college. I am not sure when the proverb originated, but it
continually lingers in my thoughts. The professor was an old man at the time but still
housed a lot of life in his aging body. The grey hair, wrinkles, and manner of dress
that went out of style years ago advertised his age just as the dogwoods announce the
arrival of spring in my hometown of Memphis. But his eyes told a different story ~ a
story of a great life with a great purpose...
