The Perspective of Darrin Hutson - Advice and More

"Overcoming Obstacles" is a blog (here on MySpace) and class (@ 619 Cultural Arts Center) where I discuss relevant issues candidly, using my own personal testimonies and experiences combined with a wealth of information to stimulate thought, new ideas and ultimately that part of our innerselves that desires to be realized and cultivated that we may grow into our full potential and maximize our ability to produce and leave an everlasting legacy after we depart from our bodies.
I believe the remedy to most of our problems and discomfort lies in understanding who we are, where we are and what being here is all about - on a Universal level. I believe many, if not most of us have lost ourselves to the cares of this world and/or have become enslaved by beliefs and traditions that have us doing things that we really dont want to do (but feel we have or are "supposed" to do) and not doing the things that we truly desire to do (but feel we can't or aren't supposed to do). We don't know or understand enough about ourselves and the world we live in to design or create our own harmony, balance and peace and consequently most of us will die searching for these. We have not been taught to hear and honor our inner voices that lead and direct us therefore we listen to or emulate others and navigate accordingly. Many of us think we are broken and hell bound when in actuality we are leaders and world changers in the making. We have judged ourselves by others standards and not by our own convictions therefore we battle contstantly to find balance between who we are (at our core) and who we have been told we are or are "supposed" to be.
I believe in getting to know and learning to embrace our true selves, naked and unmasked we will find that there is an element of greatness in all of us, DESPITE who we are, what we have done, or what others think! Everyone is born with a purpose and path. I believe the best thing we can do is to learn to respect others' purpose and paths rather we agree or like them or not while approaching our own uniquness and individual purpose and path the same way. We have to be free to create and produce what we were born to create and produce or else the God in us will always be whisperig in our ear about what we could be making of ourselves. We will always be dissatisfied or imcomplete.
