SIRve It Up Saturday's!! featuring Dawun Al-Islam (Founder and Creator or Young Black Professionals.org)


Greetings My DIVA Rules FAM! I hope your Saturday is relaxed & smooth!
For today's post is featuring a young SIR who truly is passionate about life & building up the minority young professional community.

Enjoy!

Generation of Fulfillment!

Most of us are familiar with Jesus feeding the multitude with very little, yet many of us are not aware of where he got the material. Only John (6:9) reveals that a young lad was present. He was at the right place, at the right time, born into the world at the right moment, carrying the right material, and following the right path – that accordingly, a multitude could find fulfillment through the young lad. The world is hungry, tired, and ready for what young people have. The challenge today is young people have to understand what they carry inside and then turn it over to the right source that can expand their material exponentially.

As young people, especially young Black men, if we look carefully at ourselves we will find that we are carrying something of value that can heal multitudes. We must appreciate what we each carry and where it has come from so we do not make waste of it. Then by following a good path your destiny will unfold before your eyes as something marvelous. This is what young men and youth in general must be made aware of.

Young Black Professionals today are not the generation of promise, but of fulfillment! We are brilliant, vibrant, and without bounds. Yet we are tied up like the young colt of Mark 11. We are tied to a system that has failed us and must be replaced with something better. This system has also created in us a dependent mindset on it, creating somewhat of a set-up-to-fail syndrome. We amass enormous debt, time and resources only to realize we are living at the end of a system that can hardly provide for us anymore. Our way of thinking must be loosened from this and allowed to be used by a mighty source that historically always makes society new. THIS, is our destiny! Join us and bring what you have to the platform. A Master Mind has need of you.
