Discover the essential strategies you need to begin any project effectively and ensure a successful outcome.
This quote became one of the most valuable life lessons shared with me from the voices of the past during my childhood. To this very day, I can still hear those voices echoing in my head “Son, if you start right in life, it’s a good chance your ending will be right”.
This was sung to me and my siblings throughout our childhood over and over. Yes, those lectures became song-like with its own set of lyrics and melodies every time we were caught doing something wrong or as a reminder to do something right.
As I look back, most of the mistakes in my life were due to how they started which was no one’s fault but mine. Personally, I knew they were wrong from the beginning like most of us do.
Starting right and staying right is a strong moral position that we must make in life. It helps to shape our behavior and character. It’s all based on our intentions, our teachings and beliefs from childhood to adulthood.
We’re never too old to start right, do right and stay right. Life is about how we start which determines our eventual ending and outcomes as we try to cross the finish line of life in 1st place.
As we start another week, let’s start our day with prayer, exercise, the right attitude and disposition.
This will help us “Get on the Good Foot” as the Godfather of Soul, the late and great James Brown, would say and dance throughout the day.

The TEN Cancer and Information Center:Heartbeat of the organization.
Since its inception in 2008, The Empowerment Network, Inc., has received a plethora of visitors from community and medical organizations to assist the mission of TEN.
The Cancer Information Center of TEN, 6000 West Florissant Avenue, is the heartbeat of the organization. It is where the planning for programs and outreaches originates.
Known for its flagship program, the monthly Prostate Cancer Support Group Meetings, TEN is much, much more. It is a resource depot that provides information about diagnoses, treatment options to men facing or dealing with prostate cancer, including survivors, caregivers, and family members. Some 350 survivors depend on the Cancer and Information Center as the “go to” place connect with other survivors as well as an abundance of literature.
Even more, the center is a referral designation that can direct people to medical professionals and cancer specialists in the St. Louis for questions and concerns about not just prostate cancer, but all types of cancers.
On the Wall inside the TEN Cancer Center, you can hear the ringing of the BELL OF HOPE, by a prostate cancer survivor who has been proclaimed cancer free. It represents a survivor who has finished a course of chemotherapy, radiation. The Bell of Hope is symbolic, a goodwill gesture saluting a new survivor of their personal medical milestone.
