In the beginning...

[The Reality Salesman01]

Who told you that and why did you believe them?

That is a very simple question. Do you have an answer?

That is a very simple, 2 part question, but let me give you a more detailed answer.

When a child, my dad told me that.
When an adolescent, my pastor told me that.
When a high schooler, I told me that.
Now, God has been telling me that all along.

I believed my father because he desires to cultivate excellence in me.
I believed my pastor because he desired the excellent itself.
I believed myself because I understood many sound logical conclusions.
Now I believe God because I'm very slowly becoming more humble.

Slowly. It needs to be faster. Then again, maybe I need some patience too...
