Being authentic on Day 528
Hi!
It is day 528 for me here at FCI Coleman, and today, like most mornings I got up at 3am for an hour of quiet prayer and deep mind thinking. Then I spent an hour and a half in the gym. When people come in to see me they always say that I’ve never looked better – I’m 30 pounds lighter than the day that I was wrongfully incarcerated and the casual dress code becomes me!!
I then get to work with the floor mop. This job of mine pays me 90 cents an hour, but with the help of my mentor, Jesus, I have found it in my heart to be grateful for it. There is something glorious in work, an inner meaning, which to be 160 per cent honest did not occur to me when I was made CEO of a-b global.
Although I was always a uniquely authentic leader, who drew inspiration from within, I believe I was occasionally guilty of the sin of greed. Not of financial greed, but of a greed that said I expected happiness to fall into my lap. I didn’t realise that to get back, first you have to give.
As the FBI bureau of prisions, in it’s infinite wisdom does not allow us internet access, Sherril is posting these entries of mine onto the blog. I’m sure you are all aware that sherril is a deeply wonderful individual who leaves no stone unturned in her effort to step up to the plate to walk the extra mile. However at the end of the day, on matters techo she is not entirely up to speed. She informs me that there have been hardly any comments as yet on this, my blog, which clearly cannot be right. so if you are writing comments but they are not appearing below, please do bear with her until she manages to get the thing working properly. I want to dialogue with you. I know you are with me on this journey, waving the flag of authenticity, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
God bless and keep it authentic
Martin
