Be Better

We are the architects of our reality...make it something beautiful

Motivation

Motivation is the thing that makes you get up in the morning without an alarm.
Motivation makes you see the finish line though you are standing at the starting line.
Motivation has you change the things that you do wrong so that life can be right.
Motivation is the voice of reason that tells you to keep going when everything tells you to stop.
Motivation is the fear of failure, so all you do is focus on success.
Motivation is the reason I woke up at 5 this morning...no job to go to, no boss underpaying me, no one but myself has to make this happen.

So I ask...what is your motivation? Git, git, git it.

Strength to Step Out

Today I made the decision that I will be driving across the country the beginning of next month. I don't know how long it will take, and honestly, I don't really care. No minute is guarantee so I have decided to make the most of my days. Instead of worrying about money, shelter, and time, I am going to embrace the certainty of God's love. I will be recording and taking pictures of my trip. Every night I will keep a log of my experience and the impact it will make on my spirit. I am presently putting together a regiment for my drive. Every morning and evening, I will do yoga for one hour and spend energy focusing on being a better man. I want to be a better man because for me to make the impact that I want to on this world I must continue to make changes. Over the past several months, I have improved leaps and bounds, so if I continue on this path I will definitely reach my goal. It had taken a life altering decision for me to realize that it's Game Time and I must show up to the game and win. Thank you to everyone who has been supportive of my travels and me. I know that I have made many poor decisions, and probably will make many more. However, the people who were there when I was at the bottom are the first to touch the top of this mountain we call life. Stay tune...broadcasting live from America's Highway.

Faith

Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.

-Gail Devers

Keep Moving

Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.

- Bruce Lee

Can I Live

HOV

This is my anthem...so I must share.

Yeah, hah, yeah Roc-A-Fella
We invite you to, somethin epic y'all know?
Well we hustle out of a sense of, hopelessness
Sort of a desperation
Through that desperation, we 'come addicted Sorta like the fiends we accustomed to servin
But we feel we have nothin to lose
so we offer you, well, we offer our lives, right
What do you bring to the table?

While I'm watchin every nigga watchin me closely
my shit is butter for the bread they wanna toast me
I keep my head, both of them where they supposed to be
Hoes'll get you sidetracked then clap from closed feet
I don't sleep
I'm tired, I feel wired like codeine, these days
a brother gotta admire from four fiends away
My pain wish it was quick to see, from sellin 'caine
til brains was fried to a fricassee, can't lie
At the time it never bothered me, at the bar
gettin my thug on properly,
my squad and me lack of respect for authority,
laughin hard Happy to be escapin poverty,
however brief
I know this game got valleys and peaks, expectation
for dips, four percent precipitation we stack chips, hardly
The youth I used to be, soon to see a mill'in
No more, Big Willie my game has grown prefer you call me William
Illin for revenues, Rayful Edmond like
Channel 7 news, round seven jewels, hand dead in the mic
Forgettin all I ever knew, convenient amnesia
I suggest you call my lawyer, I know the procedure
Lock my body can't trap my mind, easily
explain why we adapt to crime
I'd rather die enormous than live dormant that's how we on it
Live at the main event, I bet a trip to Maui on it
Presidential suites my residential for the weekend
Confidentially speakin in codes since I sense you peekin
The INXS rental, don't be fooled my game is mental
We both out of town dog, what you tryin to get into?
Viva, Las Vegas, see ya, later at the crap tables
meet me by the one that starts a G up
This way no fraud Willie's present gambling they re-up
And we can have a pleasant time, sippin margaritas
Ge-ge-geyeahhh, can I live?
Can I live?

My mind is infested, with sick thoughts that circle
like a Lexus, if driven wrong it's sure to hurt you
Dual level like duplexes, in unity, my crew and me
commit atrocities like we got immunity
You guessed it, manifest it in tangible goods
Platinum Rolexed it, we don't lease
we buy the whole care, as you should
My confederation, dead a nation, EXPLODE
on detonation, overload the mind of a said patient
When it balls to steam, it comes to it
we all fiends gotta do it, even righteous minds go through this
True this, history school us to spend our money foolish
Bond with jewelers and, watch for intruders
I stepped it up another level,
meditated like a Buddhist
Recruited lieutenants with ludicrous, dreams of gettin cream let's do this,
against T-D-S
So I keep one eye open like C-B-S
ya see me
stressed right? Can I live?
Can I live?
Can I live?
Can I live?

The Love Unforeseen

Myrtle Jones

The emotions that run through me as I write this are the feelings that inspire sonnets, poems or love letters. To love someone so much that you are willing to grow emotionally, mentally and spiritually so that you could give them just a hint of what they have given you. When you see the quality of something that is so rare that you know, "I am truly blessed to have met a kindred spirit."She is that inspiration that makes you willing to change your lifestyle, habits, and outlook on life to catch a hint of them. Though I have met and experienced some of the most attractive, passionate, and caring women that any man would imagine to have known. As I sit her thinking of that smile that may my heart flutter, the kiss that stole my breath and the hug that melted me I feel blessed to have touched someone who made me feel so alive. There are few spirits who will open your soul and I can say that I found "the one."

Here's why (My Reply)

Today as I walk around proudly with my Obama shirt on I remember all the unsightly things done to my people. I am contemplating "our" commitment to this changing world. I know now that we must put forth the same expectations that we have set on our new BLACK president. If you say "you are a proud American" ask yourself "What do you offer to America?" What do you contribute to the world that you live in? If we want change, we must be indebted to that CHANGE.

Time realeased...

This plan to design my dreams is taking a little time. I am embracing the word: Patience. I learn that if I have patience I will receive everything that I envision. As I am waiting, I wonder what this thought we call TIME is. Many of us have experienced more than a lifetime worth of pains and pleasures. I laugh because I am beginning to appreciate and love this time. While I can walk and interact with other people on this planet, I know that I am the product of individuality. This is a pleasure in being you. You live knowing that everyone must accept you for you, because you refuse to be someone else. However, I understand that everyone’s realities are different from mine. I am constantly in confrontations with people who want me to be like them. In every job I have ever had, my personality was the problem with the “superior.” My work ethics or abilities were always exceptional, but my unwillingness to submit was always a problem. The worst thing to do to a free mind is try to cage it. We are holding that person from being who they truly are on the inside. Greatness can come from freethinking, but we must nurture that way of life. (Let me get off my stoop) I just know that I have seen some of the best fall and the crazy people grow into trees that leaves blow in the breeze. As I sit here, eight floors from the Pen House Duplex I think about “Where is this journey going to lead me?” I have transformed lives in education, motivation, life lessons, and my own confessions. However, I still stand here wonder what am I going to do next? What is the billion-dollar idea that will change the world? Once again, I am learning about patience so I know I have to wait, but…

Blessed to be me

This weekend was so fulfilling. I had a former student call me to say, "I saved his life last week, because he was going to kill himself, but he didn't because he didn't want to disappoint me." I am thinking to myself "why the hell are you worried about what I think?" At that very moment, I realized that the Most High gave me the ability to change the lives of people I meet and I should be very mindful of my impact on this world. I am truly living God's will.

I AM BLESSED!

Inspiration

President Barack Obama

Last night might be the most powerful night of my life, thus far. I witnessed not only a Black man make the best argument to be the next president of the United State, but witness the reality that anything can be accomplished if you focus on the goal. I have bear witness to one of the greatest orators, intellectuals, and entrepreneurs (look at his campaign to the best business model) of history. I have never been so inspired to know that the change I am making is a reflection of the great changes that occur around me. When you see a symbol of vigor, astuteness, and change stand in front of you. You watch, as he not only looks like you, he speaks like you, and represents you. It is at that very moment you realize that he is you. When I have conversations with people, I repeatedly tell them that we create our reality, and the things that we see are a reflection of us. Last night, was that glare in the mirror that does nothing more than show you how strong, beautiful and articulate you are. We are blessed to have witness one of the greatest men in history. It is only after you feel the passion, commitment and undying strength that you realize that

EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

My skin's texture keeps me from feeling the hate.
Looking at the dinner table with an empty plate.
Never forgetting, my fate is to dominate the planet.
Never taking every experience in life for granted.
Been under pressure and never panic.
Can't fall down cause I know you can’t stand it.
Sometimes I wonder if I could take it.
Stand strong while I stand across the room from the hatred.
Never let it make this clean shit look faded.
There is nothing they can say other than "He made it"

Diligence and persistence will define my existence!

The Laws of Attraction works...Stay Positive

Never forget

Laura Camille

An emotional person is never logical. We must remain calm...it is the foundation of growth. Never allow your emotions to take control of your thoughts. It clouds the very thought that you are trying to get across.
