Honor eats control for breakfast But what is it? Two powerful people working to meet one another’s needs and the needs of the situation. - A great definition of honor by Danny Silk 3 elements of honor - Honor acknowledges that people are powerful. People are powerful because they can’t be controlled beyond the control they give to others. If people can’t be controlled then encouragement and empowerment are more proper than fear and coercion. - Honor values a person’s gifts even when they are different than you own. Most people only value what they see of themselves in others. True honor looks for the differences in others and appreciates them. - Honor calls others into their potential Honor sees what people can become and treats them in view of their full potential not where they currently are. Acknowledge you are a powerful person by honoring others rather than controlling them. Call out anyone on LinkedIn who you believe honors well!

𝙒𝙖𝙡𝙠 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙧 If you want to become outstanding as an individual, let your activities be determined by honor. What makes people great in life, is their ability to pursue honor. When people do honorable things, they will become amazingly respected. Honor differentiates great men from mediocre individuals. One example of greatness is that it is associated with honor. Desire honor, go after it, do things that are honorable, and stick around honorable conduct. Without honor, success will have no meaning. The level of impact individuals have on society determines how much they are likely to be honored. Let your activities be a reflection of the honor you carry. When you remove honor from the equation, dishonor will take center stage. One who takes honor with levity is likely to end up in dishonor.

This is the closest you get get to the real picture in Arabic.

Though Juneteenth celebrates Black liberation in America, whatever freedoms we enjoy are never absolute and can cherry picked to be almost arbitrary. Remember the names of White violence that never cease to target Black folk in America. A SIDE NOTE: When I just typed/Swyped the word, "JUNETEENTH," on my phone, my Samsung/Android phone did not see it as a valid word. After nearly 200 years of Juneteenth being celebrated by Black folk, my Samsung Galaxy 22 phone -- a phone made by a South Korean company in a land of predominantly non-Black people of color and a phone bpowered by a U.S. based operating system created by Google, a White dominated corporation -- did not think to include the word "Juneteenth" (now a major federal holiday in its phone. That kind of disappearance from history is why Black folk created touchstones like Black History Month and holidays long ignored by whites like Juneteenth. Our freedoms are relative to ones White Christians enjoy in America that we don't. Like the expectation one might hold to not be slaughtered in a Black Church in a nation whose Supreme Court just gave the right to all people -- but mostly Whites in practical terms -- to by a bump stock that can turn their single trigger rifles into a massacre machine and efficiently murder Church going Black folk with cruel, inhumane, race-based hatred. Welcome to the reality that is White vs. Black America. Rest in peace to these seven souls. Know their names. Never disappear them from history.

What is Honor? Here's a simple definition for you to consider. The Honor/Shame worldview can feel very mystical to outsiders. But at the heart of Honor is a concept that we can all rally behind - human value.

We turn now to the 15th chapter of the Book of John. Here we are told about a strange vine. He said, “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that bears no fruit, my Father takes away, and every branch that bears fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit” (verse 1). And you’ll find a parallel in Isaiah 18. I look at my world, and everything seems on the outside but everything. It seems completely independent of my perception of it, everything in this world; I don’t care what it is. This, the nearest thing in my world seems so completely detached and independent of my perception of it, and that is my circular world, as I look at the world; to the extent that I can take everything in my world and change it and make it conform to my ideal of what I think it ought to be, always using love as a motivation. Let me use my Imagination lovingly on behalf of every being in this world, and see them, as they ought to be seen were they now actually enjoying what they are doing. Let me persuade myself that it is true. As I bring about these changes in my outer world, this circular thing, I am producing that circular motion within me. I’m binding it. And when I’m completely convinced that nothing in this world truly exists independently of my perception of it, but nothing; I have completed that circular motion.

Heard a great message today in supporting of building stronger relationships that is very applicable. Ask yourself: 1. Who is hurting you/who are you hurting? 2. Who is helping you/who are you helping? 3. Who is honoring you/who are you honoring? Can be applied both personally and professionally. Think about it.
