Our Soul's Mission

Our Soul’s Mission

By Teresa J. Herbic

have hope toward God. Acts 24:15, NIV

Celebrating 40 years of the classic Rocky films today and recalling Rocky III which featured the theme song “Eye of the Tiger.” As Survivor’s billboard-topping and certified-platinum hit, it’s reflective of the life of Sylvester Stallone and Rocky. 
Stallone even specially requested the music to be written for the movie. Like Rocky, Stallone struggled to make it, often failing, but never losing sight of his purpose. Stallone came from nothing, but felt a passion to write and play the role of Rocky.
Like this actor’s experience, life can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. We all encounter trials and failures, particularly as parents. Adoptive parents can face the battle wounds firsthand that our children experienced prior to our even knowing them. And we care about every part of their being.
As we travel through our years, we revisit our faith and the motivation that keeps us going. It’s unforgettable in the movie when Rocky stopped by the church and asked the pastor to send up a blessing for him before a match. There are moments when we simply must do that. So, I ask for a blessing now over you as a parent. Whatever your obstacles are—whatever your climb entails, remember there’s always room at the top in Heaven’s chambers for more champions for Christ. Keep focused on God and hope will prevail.
Risin' up, straight to the top - Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance now I'm not gonna stop - Just a man and his will to survive.[1]

Dear Lord, Blessed be Your wisdom, direction, strength and encouragement!

Making a Meaningful Difference

I had a boss for over a decade who always insisted on making a meaningful difference for our clients. As I met with him in marketing, sales, development, M&A ventures, and even family outings, he drove the point home every single time. At first, I took the words lightly, and as time went on, this instinct became part of my very nature. Every stakeholder, every client, every co-worker, every leader, and every person in an organization is an essential asset. And your contractors, freelancers, suppliers, friends, and family members are VIPs. So when you need someone who truly cares about your business and understands the vital practice of human kindness, paying attention to fine details, and delivering successful brand campaign impact, look no further than the resources I can provide via my network – As always, I am happy to serve! #BrandIdentity #GlobalGrowth #MarketingStrategy
