A Disciple (What is it?)
by Ed Hirsch
A willingness to learn, communication back and forth with
adult to adult conversation.
Broken communication patterns indicate the beginning of a
declining and failing relationship. Once animosity starts,
it always continues to increase, unless serious two-way
reconciliation resolves the issues at hand.
"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear."
This quote has always been accurate in my life.
The important thing to realize is "Did you acknowledge
the *Timing* of it all, AND are you still in relationship/
discipleship with them today?"
I have been blessed in my life to *trust* that when a
mentor approached my life, I embraced them, turned
on the Ed Hirsch charm, and fortunately, influenced them
to *love me* enough to begin and sustain long-term
relationship.
"That special secret lived somewhere in a vast expanse of
unexplored knowledge - what I've learned to call what you
don't know that you don't know." -- John Milton Fogg

There are numerous musical influences who have discipled
me through their lyrics as I have come of age as well as
many very wise and learned mentors from books I've read and
people I have known (know).
I keep open and jot down flashes of wisdom that pop in my
mind as I intentionally filter the Do's and Don'ts on my
path along Life's purpose.
If you check the Dictionary, *Disciple* means one who
accepts and assists in spreading the doctrines of another.
To me, your personal Discipline (any connection with
Disciple?) in all the areas of life is in direct relation to
how much you love/care for yourself and your commitment to
accomplish/fulfill your true purpose in this life time.
Be careful, trust your gut and DO NOT allow yourself to fall
victim to the *blind leading the blind.* I see this awful
circumstance occur too often. My analogy to this experience
is influenced by Bruce Springsteen's *Badlands* where in my
interpretation Bruce refers to one of the *Prices* we must
pay for success is to *Let the Broken Hearts stand* from his
Darkness On The Edge Of Town 1978.
The more you learn, the more you earn ... so learn alot!
