The Mighty Mos Def

Remember that everyday is the day that you can start over. I feel so great that I can grow and develop every day forward. Today is the beginning of the rest of my life. That's why life is so great!

The most honest dialogue I ever heard or seen in a video. The truth and sincerity of this conversation is a reflection of the power of a broken heart. (start @ 1:30)

...And I know exactly how it feels to be heartless.

Here are the lyrics in case you want to truly read the impact of powerful words.

Got some bad news this morning
Which en turn made my day
When this someone spoke I listened
All of a sudden has less and less to say
Oooo how could this be
All this time I’ve lived vicariously

Who’s gonna save my soul now
Who’s gonna save my soul now
How will my story ever be told now
How will my story be told now

Made me feel like somebody …huh
Like somebody else
Although he was imitated often
It felt like I was being myself
Is it a shame that someone else’s song
Was totally and completely depended on

Who’s gonna save my soul now
Who’s gonna save my soul now
I wonder if I’ll live grow old now
Getting high cause I feel so low down
And maybe it’s a little selfish
All I have is the memory
Yet I never stopped to wonder
Was it possible you hurtin’ worse than me
Still my hunger turns to greed
Cause what about what I need
And Ooooo

Who’s gonna save my soul now
Whooooo’s gon save my soul now
Oooo I know I’m out of control now hoohooo
Tired enough to lay my own soul down

Sometimes

Sometimes the oldies will bring back that feeling that you need at the moment...here is mine (sometimes)

[Intro]

This is a song that makes me spill out all my guts

Sometimes

Sometimes, I wish I wasn't me

Sometimes, I wish I was drug free

Sometimes, wish I saw the exit sign first

Sometimes, wish I knew the truth without search

Sometimes, I wish I could go where I never been

See what I never saw, do what I never did

Or walk before I could crawl Sometimes

I wish my eyes wasn't so red Sometimes,

I wish I had breakfast in bed Sometimes,

I mean it's worth it

Since I did all the work last night

Sometimes, you ain't good to me, yes

I am good to you

And you don't see my attention the way that I do

Sometimes, hey slim, you should be nicer than you are

Sometimes, you take that complaining shit way too far

I mean, I thought it was cute in the beginning but now

I think you only do it cuz you know I hate it

Sometimes, you got me wishing I didn't have home training

Sometimes, then it wouldn't hurt me so bad

With dreams of knocking you in your head

Then it wouldn't hurt me so bad

With our kitchen knife put up your ass

Sometimes, wish I knew life with no pain, yeah

Wish I held the keys to this game

Sometimes, I pretend cuz I'm afraid to be, afriad to be

Sometimes, I hope I live to see twenty five

Sometimes, I wish I could be like Moses

Round up my people, move out the ghetto

And live a better life

Sometimes, I wish I didn't try so hard

Sometimes, who knows truth any way

They don't know nothing, who needs that approval

The sun in your hands player

Move at your own pace, listen to your own mind

Do your own thing, yeah yeah

I'm saying it because I love ya

And I wanna grow with you, yeah yeah

But you wanna run in the other direction

So I got to stay on my path until

I winI win, I win, I win

I wanna win, I wanna win, I wanna win, I wanna win

Oh sometimes, sing it with me I wish (I wish in love)

And I wish, oh I wish (I wish in peace)

Oh sometimes (I wish in hope)

I wish hope (I wish true)

I wish true(I wish clearly)

Hey I wish so clearly sometimes(Wish with no fear)

I wish with no fear(I have no fear)

I have no fear(Have no doubt)

I have no doubt(I don't doubt)

I don't doubt(Have no doubt)

No, I don't doubt(Have no doubt, I wish love)

I wish love, hey hey

Resilience

My mentor told me something that sticks with me eternally. He said "you should live your life like water." Water is fresh when it is moving, but once it becomes stagnant and complacent it becomes poisonous. So when things get rough I never stop, I keep looking at the prize and motivate myself to never stop, because at the point I quit, is the point where I make the greatest mistake.
Keep your eyes on the prize and in due time it will come to you.
