Spiritual Warfare

'Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have.'

Spiritual Warfare
Holding yourself to a higher standard is of the utmost importance.  Let's be completely transparent here, modern day humans are extraordinarily weak.  I don't mean weak only in terms of physical strength but emotional and spiritual fortitude.  We buy things we can't afford.  We don't take responsibility for our actions.  We don't plan for the future in a prudent way both physically or financially (both pieces are equally important).  We complain about problems that aren't really problems at all.  We pursue flesh over dignity.  We look at social media as a source of pride when in reality it is nothing at all.  Many of us are comfortable at living off welfare and taking from our fellow citizens regardless of if you truly need it.

We look back upon saints, heroes, religious figures and people who took the high road with great reverence.  Why don't we aim to emulate them?  Why don't we tell the metaphorical devil to fuck off?  Why do we so easily succumb to the wicked?  We need to be tougher, we need to have fortitude and we need to have some respect for ourselves.  For the flesh is temporary but our soul lives on forever through time and space.  

The Roman Empire fell to a variety of issues, one of the main reasons being moral decay.  America will find the same fate unless we toughen up and reject hedonism.  We must hold true to the ideologies of responsibility, hard work and sacrifice for the greater good.

Why Do You Want to Be Like Them? : The Realization I'm Not Conventionally Smart - Crying in the Car

  Why Do You Want to Be Like Them? The Realization I'm Not Conventionally Smart - Crying in the Car By Adam Mundorf Why Do You Want to Be Like Them? This blog will be mostly my inner monologue with some questions along the way, just for a warning.  I'm putting my thoughts down and through that process to find some 'a-ha' moments.  It's self exploration. I get asked often about why I'm comfortable where I am in life because my chosen profession isn't what most people would want.  I'm not an exactly ambitious individual but am content with my own lot in life.  People respond typically with an almost pity and that perplexes me.  Maybe it's because I have such simple wants and desires.  I value the inexpensive/simple pleasures in life.  I value peace and quiet, a comfortable bed, cute animals and running water.  I for sure get if you burdened your life with obligations i.e, family, huge debts and/or some idealistic dream of being fabulously wealt...

Company Parties : Walk Beside Me not Behind Me : The 'Christian' CEO's

  Company Parties Walk Beside Me not Behind Me The 'Christian' CEO's By Adam Mundorf 'True leading is sacrifice, not privilege.' Company Parties What a kick in the face company parties are.  No money for raises but money for lavish and extravagant parties?  Cutting hours but have money for banquets?  Seems a bit hypocritical doesn't it?  A rising tide raises all ships and all these silly parties do is drain the ocean.  Lets be honest, most people want the cash because we have bills and actual expenses that aren't solved with a pizza party or catered dinner.  We have goals and aspirations where an extra 20 bucks can provide dividends into the future.  Skip the party and distribute the cash.  Your employees will love that more than any party you could throw.  Quite frankly, it's insulting that a company could even throw a party while simultaneously cutting hours.  What a kick in the nuts.   Walk Beside Me not Behind Me A big...

  What I Learned During the Dale Carnegie Course Three Largest Lessons By Adam Mundorf What I Learned During the Dale Carnegie Course Recently, the company I work for decided to host a Dale Carnegie Course for all of its managers and leadership team.  Dale Carnegie is a course meant to enhance leadership qualities while giving you thought provoking scenarios and lessons to use in the real world.  I had a really good time, it allowed me to get out of my comfort zone and taught me three valuable lessons (there are more but I want to limit this blog to the three biggest lessons I learned).  Here they are : Lesson #1 - Adam 'Pause' Mundorf - Avoiding the Stutter Now, anyone who knows me, knows that I've had somewhat of a stutter since a young age.  I'm not talking like King George the Sixth but it's there.  It gave me grief as a childhood but as I got older, it got funnier because I knew it wasn't a disability but my brain moving entirely too fast for my mouth....
