Grass or AstroTurf?

In addition to understanding the source of his Power, a righteous warrior also seeks to identify his Place. Because when he fully explores and inhabits the unique life he’s been given and understands his resources, those resources begin to flow to him. In fact, many were already there; he was just unable to access them. In other words, when you occupy your Place, you don’t always have to go out to chase money, you leverage the many forms of abundance you have, including money, and life comes to you. Just as the Amazon contains everything a man needs to survive, so does the path to his destiny.

In order to experience your most fulfilling life, it’s important to remain open to the many ways that abundance can show up, whether in the form of opportunities, contacts, networks, gifts, opportunities for training and education, people’s goodness and grace, coincidences, divine timing, and so on. For instance, when you’ve found your Place in life’s ecosystem, the right people tend to show up when you need them and the things you’ve been searching for will often drop into your lap. When you free yourself from the belief that a man’s wealth consists only of his money and possessions, you open yourself up to experience life more abundantly.

One of the powerful things about finding your Place is that it comes with the means to accomplish your Purpose. In other words, both the instructions to the game of life and the batteries for living it are included when you inhabit your lane. But you have to stay in your lane, as the Penn Relays taught us. That means you have to draw a boundary line between where you end and other folks begin—between your lane in life and another’s. This is an area where many men struggle. It’s easy to think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. Sometimes what looks like green grass is actually AstroTurf. Or, your neighbor’s lawn might be greener but your lawn can get green, too, if you water it. Uncover your own gifts, then work hard to develop them. Share them in the Place that exists only for you. Do this to the best of your ability and watch your blessings multiply.

Lots of guys get involved in things because someone told them to do it or because they see someone else doing it and they want their life, their possessions, or their results. In other words, we wander out of our lane, which doesn’t usually get us the results we want. If there’s anything I wish I could take back from my thirties, it would be the time I spent wishing I had some of my peers’ gifts. I’m almost ashamed to admit that I envied one friend’s oratory skills and another’s ability to integrate hip-hop into his sermons. While I was coveting their gifts, I was overlooking my own very unique abilities. Enamored by my friends’ skillfulness, I found myself on the cusp of being jealous.
