Meet Damien Davis

We were lucky to catch up with Damien Davis recently and have shared our conversation below.

Damien , thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us today. We’re excited to dive into your story and your work, but first let’s start with a broader topic that might be stopping many of our readers from pursuing their dreams – haters, nay-sayers, etc. How have you managed to persist despite haters and nay-sayers that inevitably follow folks who are doing something unique, special or off the beaten path?
I write to help others and this might just help someone so, I’m sharing it with my readers inside Voyage Houston Magazine.

The day I said I’ll move into a tent and wait on God to bless me, is the day I got strong no more letting others bully me, stress me and worry me.

I’m free than I’ve ever been at peace and will never go backwards with a smile on my face.

I trust in God, My life is not mines but God.

I believe those that keep secrets and hide who they truly are terrified of rejection and slander because folks can turn everything you say against you.

I’m confident in myself and can look into the mirror of my soul and my faith isn’t mines but sold out for Christ.

God told me my walk will be a walk of integrity, truth and honesty.

I cry I laugh, days I’m unhappy, days I don’t have, I push through when it’s difficult, times I lost everything and bounced back, I fall and get back up. I run, I walk, I crawl; I get tempted, days I give in and days I fight.

My life story of everything I shouldn’t tell others who will attack to and use things against me.

I told you I don’t know better because I say things I don’t know I shouldn’t say, so I share and that’s why I’m so successful so far.

Eminem has a movie called 8 mile Jimmy pre-empts Papa Doc’s potential insults, acknowledging his own “white trash” roots and hard life. He ends his battle by repudiating Papa Doc’s image as a thug by exposing his privileged background; having attended a private school in a wealthy suburb and living in a stable, two-parent household. Embarrassed and with nothing to say in rebuttal, Papa Doc hands the microphone back to Future, conceding the battle.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
My name is Damien Davis of God Light For The World Ministry Inc. Our organization is an educational organization that teaches Philosophy and Religion, Sociology, Psychology to study knowledge and search for wisdom and discern the behavior and actions of humanity to solve our most critical problems the world face.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
The little man and the little woman think maturity is all about working and paying bills.

They haven’t actually figured out maturity is their moral attributes on how they treat others.

The wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord.

charity (or love), joy, peace, patience, benignity (or kindness), goodness, compassion, mildness (or gentleness), faith, modesty, or self-control, and chastity.

Do you think it’s better to go all in on our strengths or to try to be more well-rounded by investing effort on improving areas you aren’t as strong in?
Learning was very hard for me growing up with dyslexia.

Dyslexia is a learning disability that makes reading, writing, spelling and sometimes speaking difficult.

All I know is that when I went to jail, I evaluated the mindset of fellow prisoners and noticed the revolving prison door syndrome.

This can include poverty, homelessness, mental ill health, trauma, and substance misuse that cause prisoners to leave and come right back to jail.

Didn’t want that to be my life, so I knew education means new life, relationship with God means better life.

I prayed and gave my life to Christ. I asked for ministering Angels, wisdom and knowledge.

I picked up a bible in the dictionary; I stopped watching television and started focusing on reading and writing and practice celibacy.

“Don’t be in a hurry to condemn because he doesn’t do what you do or think as you think or as fast. There was a time when you didn’t know what you know today.”
