Realizing self worth
by Elder T. 0. Blackmon
The Apostle Paul, in the Book
Romans, relates to us “to be not
conformed to this world, but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your
mind. Adhering to the way people
think and act is the life style that many
Wfflwk m Wj
people possess Their minds are
molded by others' goals. To do what
others desire is what many people feel
will enable them to live. Just to make it
through by doing what others say do is
the way thousands of people live from
day to day. The world's goals are the
stuff that makes up many people's
souls. To survive means that they
should and must thrive upon the ideas
and emotional impulses others give
out. To survive, many people believe,
is to live on what others give and
advance themselves on their finance.
This view is advocated by many
political leaders in the world. The more
people that are dependent upon the
government, the more opportunity the
government has to control the people’s
minds and souls.
When people are financially
impaired, they gradually sink into a
state of despair and they cease to
think. Failure to think reflectively and
concretely to create ways to improve
their state of life reduces peoples'
mentality; they exert no force to
produce, hence, rhe nation aches over
its situation People should be
expected and allowed to do what they
can to help themselves to live in the
land Cutting off ways, via jobs, from
people keep them dependent and
discontent. Some hold that this is a
good view, because people can be
brain washed and forced to live by
rules made by a few. They consider
this to be good; people, they believe,
should obey those who have rule over
them and ask no questions why. This
way of life, to me. makes people lose
vim They become like a tree trunk.
Thousands and thousands of people
are like the tree limbs They are
dependent on the government The
government will not reject this way,
because of the masses of people who
are dependent; its control they cannot
resent
People should and must be allowed
the chance to advance They should not
be conformed to the world It is true
People can make it through life or they
can work from the sweat of their faces
and prosper on the earth All of our will

must be fully vised to live, not to obey
others’ commands and barely survive
in the land. Bribing our brothers,
cutting off their chances for
advancement, and taking their
finance, makes them feel less and less
of significant worth to society. They
exert no force to cease the notion to
progress in this shore. 1 agree with the
Apostle Paul, we should be not
conformed to this world, but should
constantly seek to renew our minds and
grasp the right spirit to live.
Opportunity should and must be
created to encourage people to
visualize ways to improve their state.
“Where there is no vision, the people
perish.” Let us design in our minds
new ideas and plans to make America a
better land. Isaiah said, “Arise and
shine, for the light is come and the
glory of the Lord is risen up thee.” Let
us not be so easily cast into society’s
mold, but keep a goal in our souls and
work to make life better for us on this
shore. To be so quick to yield to the
way others feel and follow their
command will not enable us to use our
will to live. God tells us to do our best
to progress. Trust in God and life’s
pathway trod.
