Accept Yourself

Good morning, learning to accept yourself can be one of the hardest things we go through in life. We are encouraged by others to gain their acceptance to gain a high self-esteem when the real key to a high self-esteem is not gaining anyone else’s acceptance but your own. The people we attempt to mimic that we think have high self-esteem at least from the outside are the people that usually have some sort of low self-esteem inside. Modest appearances are the self-esteem images that we should be looking to gain. They are not insecure or envious of their fellow man for they are comfortable within and can stand without a hand. A monstrous hand of shame that is envious and vain to humiliate all in its path will bring down anyone who shows seniority. Our perceptions have been overcast with a black cloud of people we allow to gain a pedestal view over us. King, Queen, President, Commissioner or Director, they are all the same. A human being just like the skin we possess. They should not make us feel any less about ourselves just because of their title. We have the right to secure a self-esteem that is beyond this world but humble ourselves to acknowledge their existence and utilize their power to display our own talents. Never give someone that much power over you that you deny your own existence.

Image Created

Good afternoon, we create images of ourselves for others to see but when the mirror is held up for us to see the image we have created we do not like what we have produced. Truth becomes negativity in only our light because we believe in what we created as if it were gold. Not realizing the image we created for others to reflect upon is negative. There are dangerous lines crossed in a single step when not giving forth a great perception for one to believe in. When what you have created reflects a negative image, you cannot cast a stone at the one holding the mirror but the one in the mirror. Change is always possible but to give hope in its existence there has to be a ripple in your reflection. Encourage that you can be trusted to reflect a new image through actions of great will. The negative image you reflect now is by choice and by choice your actions will show the change you are trying to make. Giving false hope off your intent will only lessen your trust with others and support a more powerful negative reflection. Actual change does start from within but is reflected on the outside. The images we are scripted to see as negative are the ones that leave the most positive impressions on society. “Keep hope alive” didn’t really die in 1999 when Mandela left office but reincarnated through time to relive through Obama in 2009. Have you produced a likable mirror image for one to reflect upon or have you allowed a script to let you think that within your reputable smile there’s a positive reflection ultimately showcasing negativity? Everyone has positive attributes, we all need to hone in on them to bring out the true image we want reflected.

Emotional Guard

Good morning, we are all emotional creatures, now whether we allow ourselves to feel or get in touch with these emotions is a different story. We all love to feel wanted and pleased in some shape or form. We follow a path of blocking all entrances to emotional attachment and feeling. We do not want to be bogged down with the responsibility that comes with it. In the long run we long for what we have denied ourselves for so long. At times when we’ve gotten to that point life has really passed us by and we are now in search for something that we could have had the whole time. Contrary to what you may think that closeness is what helps encourage us to be a better person. Gaining a best friend or embracing the sister or brother you may already have gives you the empowerment you need to foresee your goals in life. We are moved by the graces of others that are fighting with the same compassion to reach their ambitions. Your aspirations may not be the exact same but your drive to reach them will stand the test of time together. You should have seen who was really by your side or just along for the ride during this season. So now you have some idea of who you can instill your true emotional feelings. Remember your guard is to protect you but it can also hinder you if not let down at some point.

Season of Giving

Good morning, sometimes we chose the wrong path and encounter hazardous people. We are not aware of how hazardous they are until we miss the ones we lost to them. Holiday times bring out the best and worst in people. You will see who really cares and who’s just along for the ride. In this season of giving how much is really returned to ones that have given all year. Undeniable gratitude is shown in many different ways sometimes words are not enough to feel the appreciation of ones heart. Open your souls to see the true being before you. Take notice of the devious love to recognize the envious love that is shared with you. Make yourself vulnerable for a moment and share what’s inside with someone close by. We all deserve to feel what is given to us from the one we least expect. Open your hearts this season to show unconditional feeling of hope to someone who truly deserves to see they are loved and appreciated just as much as you. Warm hearts on cold nights bring joy in every light. May the heavens above bless you for blessing someone else.

Ignorant Learning

Good morning, don’t close your mind no matter how much you think you know there’s always more to learn. No matter how much we fight the learning process it never ends. Subconsciously we grow until we can grasp those concepts in our conscious mind. Ever wonder how the light bulb clicks on, well there’s your answer. You see there are many things that we are aware of and store until we can put 2 and 2 together and make 4. The only question there is how 2 and 2 made 4. Don’t ever take something just for what has been told or what you may think you see. Sometimes looking beyond the human eye can under a true mystery. Dig deep and learn wise. Never close the adventurous mind. Stop ignoring and fighting erudition in life. A closed mind is ignorant to the world around them but an open mind is less ignorant to the coming world.

Skill Ranking

Good afternoon, we want to be experts to later be able to teach someone else. But there is a ladder of skill that must be climbed to reach that goal. We all start as beginners, novice as we say, learning to grasp the fundamentals. Now to apply what we have learned we climb another step into becoming experienced but to become experienced it takes practice but you need more than just experience to become an expert. An expert, we believe to be the highest ranking, is a specialized with knowledge to grasp and reciprocate. If no one starts as an expert, who mentored the first novice? Guess that’s just like the question, “who came first the chicken or the egg?” The thing is the chicken has to lay the egg for the egg to exist but the chicken had to hatch out the egg to exist. So where’s the beginning? That’s one question we’ll never have the answer to but there’s always a new beginning and that starts with you. You ladder of skill is right before you which ranking are you? Novice, experienced or expert, and even in between we all have something to learn from everyone no matter which ranking. There’s a light that can be seen at different angles, even as a novice.

Human Nature

Good morning, as the saying goes, “we’re only human.” But what does that really mean? Is that our way of making excuses for our wrongs and feeling better about ourselves? The man-made definition only establishes an existence of people. There is no where in the definition that states human is a flaw and that we as humans are excused from making mistakes since we are only human, right? Wrong, we find excuses for our flaws in any way we can. There is no excuse for flaws but that’s not to say we all don’t have them. Flaws are our way of learning who we are. They help make us individuals to the cause of humanity. You will find a flaw in every human but being human is not a flaw. Lessen the excuse and learn from the flaw. We are only creatures of habit if we stay content within the man-made creation. We could not create ourselves so existence is beyond us and so is our definition.

Milestone of Success

Good morning, society’s structure of milestones and charts we place ourselves on to create some sort of status. How can we base our development in life on a bunch of clinical words that we don’t really understand? Who is to say that because you do not catch on to something as fast as a peer that you are slow or retarded? The labels we place upon society to dictate who we are and where we are going should be erased. Individually you can be successful without money, cars, jewelry, and a degree. These things don’t make you or break you unless you feed into the feculence that is fed to us each day. There are many words of wisdom but by your own interpretation. Your guide can be in the same book but leading to a different path. The big books of life don’t all follow the same rules. Each of us has our own light to follow and there are no clinical words to describe the stages of that path of success. We develop at our own pace with no charts to climb. Keep in mind we are all special and our status here on earth means nothing to the heavens above. Judgment day will come at the same price to all. Your money, cars and degree cannot buy you a way in they have no value. Remember that when you are bragging about what you have accomplished and how much success you really have. Look within to find your milestone of success.

Talk Is Cheap Success

Good morning, we hate upon each other but only behind closed doors. We cannot face each other with the words so cautiously spoken because we have no real leg to stand on. We find it entertaining to meddle with envious inhabitants. Accepting there are things out of our control that will be unorthodox to what we know and have been taught. So we resent what we are not familiar with becoming the judgmental bigot that we all have fought at one point in our lives. A candid voice amongst the deceitful mockery is always deterred to save face. Not realizing that there is no dignity in childish ridicule. Self-esteem is low even in the biggest ego you can find that cannot face thy enemy and continue to whisper jealous thoughts that have no relevance but to entertain the fanatics of humiliation. They say misery loves company, so to create a sense of value some have to diminish the value of another to empower themselves. The fascination of an eccentric lifestyle has entertained us through travesty but has become successful with our own charades. Talk may be cheap but not if you flip it and make it a fortune. As long as there’s talk there’s impact. Let’s give them something to talk about.

Transform Negative into Positive

Good morning, negative has become a strong word in our vocabulary that has created a great stigma in life. Utilizing this word in any way brings a condescending demeanor to the environment. One wrong button can be pushed with its effect. The term is constantly used out of context when we are unaware or afraid of something. We push negativity when we believe that we are right and everything else is wrong. Just because it’s a different avenue doesn’t make it negative. Truth becomes negative when we do not want to face it. Discouraged by the end results we place blame and shout negativity. Fear not the negative but become open to a different side of positivity. Realistic facts that are estrange to us become negative thoughts that race through our heads. To become real with ourselves we must become vulnerable to the light that opens the pathways to findings that beyond belief. There are many sides to a story as well as to us. We must connect with each side of ourselves to see what levels of positivity we can endure. There are possibilities that we are not capable of being open and honest with ourselves to bring on something so powerful. At times it can be overpowering and out of our control. Don’t let the “status quo” negativity ruin the positive outcome to enjoy the natural satisfaction we run from every day. It is possible to find positive in what we believe or have been taught to believe is negative. You just have to be willing to open yourself to that light.

Consistentcy Game Plan

Good morning, we tend to play this strategic game when it comes to consistency. We believe that if we lay out the ground work first we should be on a great path from then on. But we didn’t prepare for the game plans that were in effect that intervened with our plan. Then we veer off course becoming unstable and not knowing where to go. Building a solid opening and preparing for the unexpected will keep us on a consistent path that cannot be intruded upon. Stand behind what you believe to be right and what you see as a great plan. Never let something throw your equilibrium off and stir you into an unruly situation where you cannot handle things being thrown at you. Solid foundation gives you a sturdy plot to build upon. Stay consistent with your heart and follow your mind. You will balance your own decisions without distractions.

Value of a Coward

Good morning, we lose valuable aspects of our lives each day. We may not realize until it’s too late that it’s true worth but our coward acts overpower the truth. Truth may hurt at times but it’s worth it. We believe we are different than the next man but are we truly? We think we know but do we really? What do we know that makes us so different? We make take different steps but we end up on the same path at one point and time as the ones we don’t want to be compared to. Comparisons may be hard to bear when we struggled to be so different and then to see we are only the same. In reality we are scared of being too different. We like feeling apart of something so to stray too far away is just not the sensible thing to do. We lose respect fitting in and become typical. When we can find our own leg to stand on and have the courage to not be apart we will gain respect. Then maybe we can find a way to hold on to those precious pieces we lost. Lose the fear and gain courage to show what has true value.

Life's Movie Cast

Good morning, we all play different roles in life. Each role is uniquely defined by our own upbringing. We may share the same titles but don’t play the role the same way. Each person possess different skills and at different magnitudes. Some can learn from one another and some can learn from what they did not see. There are many ways to enhance each role when played by different characters. Just because some roles share some of the same responsibilities doesn’t make them the same. Some roles may take precedence over others but that doesn’t mean that the other role is less valuable. Your value is not determined by what someone else thinks of you but what you think of yourself and how you treat others around you. This is playing your role and being good at it. Each role has boundaries that have been placed for good reason. Crossing these boundaries leaves you in dangerous territory and now you are liable for all repercussions. Own up to it, man or woman, take your place and state your claim. Next time you’ll know to stay within your perimeter. This should not limit you on exercising your role to its fullest but it should let you know you cannot take on someone else’s role if they’re already there. We are all important but we are all human. Appreciate your role and respect others. You wouldn’t want someone to take over your role. Every role needs another. Play your part to make the perfect picture.

Give Thanks

Good morning, a time to give thanks. Thank you all for taking the time to read each day. Thank you all for having an open mind. Thanks for letting the words written find a way into your hearts and minds. Thank you for appreciating the message written. Thank you for being a continuing inspiration. Thank you for the push to become better. Thank you for the encouragement to become bigger. Thank you for insight to go deeper. Thanks for passing on the inspiration you have felt to friends and family. Thank you all for listening.

Free Fall

Good morning, there comes a time where letting go is the best possible solution. We are in constant fear of our own kind that we struggle with allowing ourselves to be at ease. It is possible to let go and feel so free just to be in the presence of something so real. It may not always agree but you know things are true. There’s no sugar coating or phony antics that bring sarcasm and tension. When we are not accustomed to a good feeling we reject it. We fight that feeling so hard we damage not only ourselves but our atmosphere. Life can be compared to an amusement park we get on all these different rides that take us on loops and bounds but there’s that one ride that gives us this uncomfortable feeling in the pits of our stomach but we all love it. It’s the free fall. They take you all the way to the top where you can see over the whole park and then drop you. You will get on that ride a million times and each time you are surprised by the drop. That amazing feeling in your stomach twists for a minute but then becomes easier to bear as you descend. Then you feel ok to put your hands up and just fall. Let go, put your hands up and just fall into the true bliss of life. It may feel weird at first but eventually it’ll feel like a natural high that you just can’t come down from. Each evolving altitude will feel like a new revelation in your life. Take a leap of faith and succumb.

Once Was Blind But Now Can See

Good afternoon, we all have a set of eyes but they don’t seem to work. We are blind and cannot see what truly stares us in the face. As humans we have a strong knack for taking something good, killing it and resurrecting it into a well oiled killing machine. We turn the good into the bad and then whine that we cannot find anything of high-quality. This is our own creation that we cannot control after we have released it onto the world. When we decide to open our eyes and stop being so superficial and selfish we can find the precious jewel needed to brighten our life. We had everything we desire and need right in front of us but we turn our backs on it being foolish. The lessons we learn show us what we could not see at very important points in our lives. Appreciation and humility has a grave in our back yards that we need to resurrect and utilize to see that we have or had the chance to have everything and still wanted more. High-quality is not defined by the society we live in but the heart we guard. We can be so guarded that we guard ourselves from something we’ve been waiting for. Remember when you ask for something it is given to you but comes from the least expected. Clear your eyes to see and appreciate the things you were blinded from before. Some will return and some may never come back your way. The monster you have created may be tamed with the right remedy and you just might have it. Release the turmoil you have released from the nightmare they suffer to see what they are missing. Once the world is lessen with zombies, the vision will become so clear.

Hurt and Pain Equals Secrets and Lies

Good morning, secrets and lies are one in the same. They both cause hurt and pain. Protection has been mistaken for lies and secrets but only a fool could really believe this to be true. All lies find there way to truth and secrets are revealed, now who needs protection? All this boils down to is deception which is the number one act of the world today. We believe that this is the only way we can go through life to be free and clear but what rock are you living under that has you fooled? The heart ache and pain we go through we don’t seem to learn from but become a product of the previous act. We have not learned that we would want open honesty but have learned to deceive the rest of our life. There is no respect and generosity. Self is the only thing we have focus on. Even the little bundles of joy that we bring into this world are through deception, lies and secrets. They suffer because we are selfish and foolish. They grow to repeat the same cycle. When does it end? The secrets we hold will eventually eat us inside out. Believe that through truth you will find a stronger bond within the relationships of your life to gain a sense of protection. No one can hold you down without truth because the slight deception can break the connection you held. In turn there will be a heart felt regret that cannot be changed. A wound will always exist as a scar. It may not hurt anymore but it will always leave a reminder. Each secret or lie you have has a scar within yourself that should be reminder how much it hurt not to create the same pain for someone else. Deception is not protection.

Empty Hands

Good afternoon, we give to receive but when we give so much and do not see the fruits of our labor, we turn cold and distant. There’s nothing replenishing the pieces of ourselves we have given. We become weary of the next and stingy. They treat others how you want to be treated but not everyone has grasped that concept. Accept the fact that others are not like you is another concept that should go along with the first to reason with why not everyone is treated the same. Unfortunately sometimes we have to learn to replenish ourselves, which defeats the purpose of giving to others, right? There are sometimes things that we will never understand. The contradictions of life may give us a better understanding if we are not lead into confusion. To believe that if we give we will receive but yet we are still empty handed. Brain washed or just impressionable, can we really say what the factors are that make us believe in things that contradict the outcome. One day we will find a way to believe in the realty of the world and make the saying a true statement. Recognize the gift given and return the piece of life given.

Forbidden Happiness

Good afternoon, in discovering the in-depth reality of life we become more and more disappointed with what we see. There’s no perfect world but this life is not even semi-. We leap to deceive and fail to be loyal. They say the positive should out weigh the negative but when? When we search high and low to make sure that the saying is true. We shouldn’t have to dig so deep to find what should be right on the surface. Is it so shallow and naïve to believe that underneath it all there’s a happy place where honesty leads and deceit is relieved of its duties? Where warm embraces are not given the cold shoulder but accepted with open arms. But then reality speaks and we have to say no but there is such a place beyond the clouds in mind of one or two. A select chosen few can see the happiness that is well beneath a forbidden place but very much permissible. The only thing is we have to see that the lock is not on the door but something we have been trained to see. Test the uncharted waters before believing that it doesn’t exist. There is a happy place if we can bring it to the surface.

Web of Life

Good morning, life spins a fine web around us connecting each of us to each other. We cross paths for reasons unknown and leave footprints of our existence. Each impression leaves a smile, broken heart, a cry, feeling of hope and many untold expressions. We become haunted by our own souls filled with deep emotion. Tangled in this web we hold on too long and get caught in the wrong tensile of the web. We develop from each tensile encountered but not each one should be held on to. Receiving knowledge through those impressions shows growth in character to spin your own web inside of the one that holds us all together. You can only start a new life once you leave the old behind. Trust and honesty must be the golden rule for your tensile to hold weight building a strong foundation. Wrap yourself in the web of life gaining a superior comprehension of the connection we all have on one another. The connection is one that may never be seen but is definitely there. Learn from your neighbor, enemy and friend. They are all in the same web you have left your impression.

Secure Survival

Good morning, life has a funny shape that none of us can discover. We go through many trials and tribulations that shape our lives into who we are. How we recover from each trial and tribulation shows either how strong or weak we really are. A lot of us hide behind masks full of laughter or anger not to show how vulnerable we truly can be. Sometimes we need to draw attention to ourselves so that we don’t feel alone. Some of us meddle in business not of our own to feel important or feel in control. We all have different mechanisms to create a sense of security in our lives but beneath it all is reality. The never ending smile is a frown, the endless laughter is crying and the intruder is asking for help. There’s phoniness in the air that we breathe in each day because we have lost our sense of hope. Filter out the counterfeit faces to hopes of genuine unity. Coping doesn’t have to mean phony. We can survive through a system that is taught by one another to each other. Survival means to live to tell a tale, who are you telling your tale to if you’re all alone?

Genuine Generosity

Good morning, we play the same songs over and over again. We make no changes in the words we listen to and follow. We are distrustful and selfish to one another that we are blinded by truth and generosity. We ask for things that are given to us but we push them away with guarded stupidity. If we never allow ourselves to trust and be genuine not only to the outside but to ourselves inside our existence as we know it will become extinct. Cannibalism may be illegal but each day a crime is committed. We fight the acknowledgement that to our environment is obvious. When do we show each other that it’s ok to feel trust within each other again? When do we show each other that it’s ok to be genuinely nice without stabbing each other in the back for personal gain? Have we not seen the enough destruction to see that this circle is not the way we should be turning? Break the cycle and break the silence. It’s OK to LOVE one another genuinely.

Discover Happiness and Success

Good morning, life wealth doesn’t come from the amount of money in our pockets or the reputation we keep. Prosperity comes from within. There’s no amount of popularity that can grant us happiness. There’s no amount of money that can give us the world. The simple things give us the greatest feeling of happiness that we could ever experience. The materials can all be taken away and what are we left with? NOTHING! Our dignity and pride will be shot down because our lives were founded on the materials that we felt were so imperative. We suffer from the image society places in our heads about what success is and how to reach a certain status. Status is a fluke that has been branded into us like cattle. The essentials in life come from the love interchanged. The purity of a child that brightens up each day, the ability to enjoy the growth between two, the encouragement and support, to indulge in a true passion, that makes our lives successful. Society will break us if we allow it to consume our minds and follow the paths that we are brainwashed to believe are the paths we should take. We need to make our own paths and we will find success and happiness and become less like trained dogs. Become your own species. Push the limits and dare yourself to go against what you have been trained to be right. Happiness awaits, can you discover your own path?

New Light Different Day

Good morning, there’s a new light that shines on us each day. The light from yesterday has dimmed away and today we start a new. Each day is a blessing that only you can see. Deciding what to do differently and acknowledging the things that are special to you. Some things are here to stay if cherished in the right way but some things will wither away if contaminated in any way. Hold tight to yourself because only you can make the difference in your life. You choose to make or break yourself on the journeys you travel. Utilize the life you have been given. Not everyone is as fortunate as you to live the life you are living. Take hold of the light given each day to embrace the specialty ingredients given make up the recipe in your life worth a taste. You have made it to a new day with a new light. What are you going to do differently than yesterday?

Face the True You

Good morning, we wear many faces but which one is real. We don’t even know ourselves because we have made so many of them we cannot remember which one we started with. To become better acquainted with ourselves we should find the real us within the many masks we project to the world. This could take a lifetime or beyond but you can find the path to give you all the tools needed but you have to be receptive. We don’t know it all and will never know it all but there are ways to find some understanding of the path that is right for us. What may be wrong for you may be right for someone else. Your foundation may help another to further in life. Give someone else another perspective than the one they have grown with. Embrace the unknown teachings of others that may have come a different route but you have crossed paths for a reason. There is always something to learn no matter how minor. There are other times where there is so much to learn but because you are not receptive you cannot comprehend the lesson needed to proceed. Lifetime of finding you can be shortened with a receptive perspective. Throw the many disguises away because no one can take away who you truly are but you. Bring yourself about face to see the true face.

Open Closed Doors

Good morning, the sound of agony is heard in the atmosphere of the land we live. We are hurting with smiles on our faces. Individual lives might seem happy but if we still have homeless, rapes and murders we are suffering as whole. Closing your front door doesn’t make it all go away. Opening your front door may help lessen the cries. The ones with their doors open could use some help from the closed doors. We ignore life and the changes that come with it. It’s sad that our society is struggling to exist. Take yourself out of the norm, give yourself a mission to accomplish and strive to make a better life. You are just floating through life on the same wave instead of surfing the high tides. It’s ok to be scared, change is hard but you will make it through. Open yourself to a brighter adventure that will challenge your mind and soul. Next time bring someone else along that you see may need to feel the same greatness. Open those closed doors and help our aura to sing a rejoicing song.

Heroless Victim

Good morning, there’s a give and take in this world that has been broken down into just taking. Every man for himself, leave all wounded behind. Ever notice how the wounded left behind becomes the villain which in turn is usually the victim but we don’t see it like that. We are blind sided not to feel anything for this person because they have become corrupt but not realizing it’s by our own doing. We the people may never see this concept in the forefront but as a whole we are the criminals that should be punished for the villains that are truly the victims of our immoral beliefs. Victims are not limited to the villain. We all play the victim at some point of this story but there are different endings. The victim is either saved or comes up short and is not saved. For the victims who have been saved they turn their backs on the victims now in their shoes instead of becoming the hero and saving themselves through someone else. You need the victim to save yourself. Never forget where you were and where you are now because there is someone in the same boat now that needs that hero to save them. There’s nothing like a hero that’s been the victim before to empathize.

Puzzle Piece

Good afternoon, we are all a small piece of this jigsaw puzzle we call life. We have many sides that fit together with another perfectly but there are times that we try to fit pieces that look similar but are not the right fit. Our journey searching for the right pieces can be hard and tormenting. We can find ourselves being torn from the inside but what we don’t see is on the outside our shape has not changed. We still fit the same right piece. Mending ourselves to create a whole piece gives energy to attract the right piece. When the right pieces are put in together you can feel the connection beyond your control. So when you are put in the right position, when you find the right home, when you find your true purpose it will be beyond your control and it will fit like a glove. If it doesn’t fit, we must acquit. Learn to let go of the piece that doesn’t quite fit and the right one will come in time.

Rare Commonality

Good morning, life precedes the common world but short comings will make you see a different side of the earth. Total understanding is not an option. There is only guidance and afflictions of identity comprehension. Pessimistic words bring agony to the mind. The mind retreats but brings vengeance on the next game played. Your word use to be your bond but it has fallen through the cracks. The value of respect has been desecrated to below zero. The common wealth out weighs the common courtesy, yet we all stand to fall. We all run the same circle of life. We will all die to be buried in the same ground. No one person’s life is greater than another so why isn’t the respect for each given in the same aspect. Grand Theft Auto seems to be our game of choice as we become immature antagonist in the game called life. Life’s unfortunate is that if the tables were turned we would have a gripe. Own up and man up to what you expect the world to show you as an individual. Don’t play the Cowardly lion because deep inside your courage is really there. The beating will stop eventually but it can only start with you.

Complain to Change

Good morning, we are ungrateful creatures who do nothing but complain. We complain because we are afraid. We complain because we are overwhelmed. We believe we complain because there’s something wrong or we have standards. This may be what it seems like from the outside but not true. We are afraid to accept the path we are following. We are overwhelmed with the changes that we face on this journey. What we fail to realize is we made these choices. We have to conquer our fears and accept the paths that will lead us to success. Things may seem different but they are not too far different if you allow yourself to understand and adapt. There are many that are not as fortunate as you to have these choices to make to walk this path and yet you complain. If it’s so bad then why do you stay on this same path? There are many paths to take and you have chosen this one. We need to become more appreciative creatures of the life we have chosen. Accept to adapt and understand what may come. You make the choice to leave or stay. You make the difference the same. You make the change good or bad. It’s all up to you to change to stay on this path.

Complacent Future

Good morning, relying on the shallow content of the familiar atmosphere is hurting our dignity. Something good we are to keep hold of, right? But what we forgot to read in the fine print is sometimes there is an expiration date. The expiration date doesn’t mean what you have has gone bad but that it’s time to move on to something better. May not be a comfortable fit in the beginning but eventually you’ll break it in like you have done many a day. Don’t lay complacent because it’s a comfortable fit. Always keep yourself open to new openings that maybe uncomfortable from a far but just right up close. Life doesn’t stop just because you stand still. Move with life, grow with knowledge and explore all open doors. Your dignity will be on a natural high that could only be inhaled through the dimensions of life and exhaled into the future.

Testify to Inspire

Good morning, we are all inspirations to each other. We all have a testimony to share. Sometimes the sharing part is where we are a little tangled and we just throw it up in the air. We don’t realize the ramifications of our voices. Influence is a strong power to have and we all possess this quality. Each word spoken, each step walked, each action taken is an influence to another. Impressionable beings we are whether we admit to it or not. There are levels to life that bring us to new heights. We struggle to see the endless possibilities. We are each other’s muse in life. We encourage and create new sights to achieve on this big open ladder we call life. Keep climbing to share your motivation with the next. Remember your testimony is someone else’s inspiration.

The Time for Knowledge

Good morning, there so much to learn but we need to know everything at one time. Instead of letting the lessons come to us in the right time we rush ourselves into getting information we are not ready for. Life lessons cannot be forced. Your life journey is to experience new things and learn as you grow. We cannot learn in a rushed atmosphere. You have take time to retain the information and put it into action. An abundance of knowledge can be a powerful tool to use. But having a lot of knowledge and not knowing what to do with it can be a hindrance. Live to learn and learn to live. Take in each lesson in its own time to comprehend the information to be use for a later day.

Human Flaw

Good morning, the world is cold. The world has been hardened with no emotion. The world is blind to human flaws. We carry emotions within that we try to deny. We are weak and strong, we cry and laugh, we kill and heal, we are selfish and share, we are human. We are not made of steel, we can be broken. In return for our flaws we have made a society of no flaws. The world has become our armor that cannot be broken. We have created a society warrior that will not crack a smile nor cry. Underneath every shell is a soft substance. From the outside this world may look tough but with the right amount of pressure applied it will crack. Build from the inside out. There will always be something to crack the outer layer but if the inside is just as thick or thicker, the job won’t be as easy. Thick skin they say, how about a thick soul. You need to cry so that you can laugh. Having flaws makes us beautiful in every way. We are only human.

New Path of Success

Good morning, they say never give up on something you believe. We hold on to the belief but for how long before it becomes a redundant and pessimistic. Does the belief become an unreachable dream or a never ending fairy tale in our imagination? Some beliefs are short-lived not to be forgotten but appreciated for the moment. You didn’t give up but life changed your direction and began a whole new journey. You may come across that belief again in a different light and a new way. There is the one way and then there’s another. Sometimes we have to go through situations to become more experience in the belief we believe so strongly in. Therefore the next time it becomes a main focus we will have a better plan to become a success. Life hasn’t ended just because you took a different turn. Broaden your horizon with a new light and a new direction that may give you a new look on something to revisit. Success doesn’t always happen on the first try. Try again.

Do The "RIGHT" Thing

Good morning, is what we believe to be “right” really right? Are the things we have pushed into being wrong really just that? Or have we made categories to separate our comfort levels. Because we are not comfortable with something it is determined to be wrong. If there is no perfection in life why do we look for it? In every situation there’s going to be something wrong or right depending on your categories. But if you have not gained perception of your own mind then your categories will be swayed by the masses. Everyone wants to take a picture of display but a picture can be staged of unrealistic things. Then the tabloid hits with a creation all of its own. The reality of what the picture should have been. The high end magazine is not the perfect picture; they can always airbrush you in. The perfect picture is the one the tabloid takes of the reality of life. The one that shows that there are flaws and what may seem wrong feels so right. Frame that to your wall it’s the only “RIGHT” thing to do.

Silent Alarm

Good morning, to shine the light on an undercover scene, you don’t have to set off the alarm. There are many different directions that can be taken to provide a wake up call. Sometimes a more discrete approach is appropriate for the atmosphere. Adapting to the environment and the status of what surrounds you, can be a task but be aware. Find the mouse hole to go through before making your presence known. Observation can give you a better outlook on your opponent and offense. The best players know there opponents’ every move before they make it. Become a step ahead in the game. The strategy isn’t always the same. Take note and listen for when it’s time to “RING THE ALARM!!”

Miserable Neighbor

Good morning, we are one to point the finger because we all know misery loves company. Putting someone below you so that you can feel above the clouds certifies that you are unhappy with yourself. We find ourselves wallowing in self pity because we were not able to push ourselves far beyond without pushing someone else down. Never step on the toes of others that may be at the bottom now but could soon rise above you. Have we become so famish that we are feeding on the same species? In the beginning of time we were made to help each other. We were not made to be alone. There are too many of us to be so closed off that we are not befriending our neighbor. Walk lightly for your shoes can be easily filled with other feet. Reward yourself by rewarding someone else. Kind heart lives a long life.

The Caution in Life

Good afternoon, to find the meaning of things in life you have to find the meaning of yourself. Within you there are many answers to the questions you ask each day. We grow from the experiences that life offers us. There are many obstacles placed on our paths to deter us from the success we are destined for. Your destiny can be reached within time but you have to reach deep down to appreciate where you’re going. There’s always going to be a battle to fight but choosing whether to fight or lay down will give you the insight needed on your quest for answers to life. Be aware; take caution for there is deceit amongst the lambs. Wolves in sheep’s clothing can bring upon a sinful wrath. Remember the lamb will come back to take away the sin of the world for if your heart is pure as child’s mind, there will be an uplifting revolution to end of time. You will live an eternity of fruitful humility.

Life's Production

Good morning, as we grow with each other we learn many things about ourselves as individuals. Becoming aware of yourself and developing your own is an overall accomplishment for your journey in life. Life equals growth but some are not ready to grow and live life to its full potential. Instead they stunt their growth to remain undeveloped for a longer period in time but that soon will catch up to them for you have to grow to survive. Fall behind and you will fall short. Open yourself to unlimited growing potential. Learn to live life to the fullest. Make no mistake that your development will cultivate into a beautiful production of success. Continue to progress, life is given longevity through evolution.

Star Status

Good morning, when it comes to success most of our heads are in the clouds. Remember clouds do come down. Stars are only on top when they create longevity. Look at some great people and see why they are still looked up to. Humble yourself to keep standing. Arrogance will create ignorance. You will shine like the star you are meant to be, giving the right stamina. Bring your head out of the clouds to a place where you know you can stand on your two feet then climb. You know the Earth is a good place to land. Stay true and stay within a clue. Keep your feet on solid ground but shine bright. Don’t forget your shades.

Balance Beam

Good morning, the world weighs on our shoulders from the pain we bring. Following our hearts seems like the right path to take but the mind should also make an argument before the decision is final. How do you weigh your heart against your mind? Are they one in the same or separate? Your heart is the foolish side of you that wants to bring happiness but can bring pain. The mind is logically but can play tricks on you at times. A balance of both will show you the path that will lead you to the gold. This journey make take your lifetime and you my never get there but you will see some beautiful things along the way. Life isn’t always about having the right answer but about completing journeys that give you insight. Happiness doesn’t come over night. And happiness could not exist without sadness. You cannot appreciate the good if there was no bad. Life is a balance beam that cannot be swayed. We only believe that it's unbalanced because we are. Try learning how to use a scale correctly then you will find a sense of stability.

The Belief of Existence

Good afternoon, let the light show you the path to open the doors to new adventures that will not scorn. Hold tight for you will see there is always something beyond the mystery. Existence is within your belief and if you believe it can exist. The power within you can give you strength you never believed. Unconsciously you are a gift unto yourself. They say, “Seeing is believing” but to believe you cannot see, you just trust that there is existence. We lose our way when we have to see the world but sometimes that’s not the reality. We paint pictures of sunny skies and rainbows when we really know there’s a cloud or two in the shadows. To see the real picture you have to think beyond the surface and really dig deep. Deep beyond the billows of the earth’s soul you will find a reality but without belief you can take that adventure and still not see. The imagination of a child is one of the purest thoughts there could be but an adults pure thought is the belief of insight into reality. Reality exists beyond your reach, all you have to do is find the strength to believe.

Spare Time

Good morning, time withers away without a care of your existence. We watch time pass us by when we need it to evolve. We take time for granted and think it will always be on our side. We fail to realize time has its own life to live at a pace that doesn’t change for the minor things. We kiss valuable things in life good-bye because we cannot appreciate its worth to us. But we hold the immoral so close as if time will keep ticking for the virtuous to come back and bless us. Time is not ours to control but we still try. Afraid to grow beyond what you know but what you can be is a fear that should be relieved from within. Your fear should be not having enough time to spend in this blissful moment. Stop running from what makes you happy but sad and still stands in your path, beside you holding your hand. Continuing a life with the immoral will leave you abandoned in your time of need. They say time heals all pain but with time gives you room to soak in your own pity. Time is on your side when you are on its side. Evolve and time will stand by you. Sit stagnate and you will see the time pass you by.

Start Monday

Wake up, it's Monday the start of the week. School bells ring and class has begun. Did you get a wink of sleep to refresh yourself for the hard week ahead of you? We contemplate the tales we will live to tell one day of the life we've had to lead. Will we have regrets or be ashamed? Life of regrets is a shame. Turning back the hands of time is always a thought that crosses your mind but we have to keep pushing forward towards those same goals just taking that leap of faith. If they jump will you jump too?
Monday is almost over and the hard work will be done. So take a chill pill for the night. Wind yourself down with a bubble bath feeding your body and soul with the sounds of peace. Peace of mind in a calm vicinity. We have taken that leap today and challenged ourselves so until tomorrow to do the same.

Control the Dream

Good morning, from hope there comes a dream and from a dream comes belief. We hope for things that become our dreams and aspirations. We dream for them to become a reality and our belief. Our minds are a strong tool that can make something that didn’t exist, appear in thin air. Blow the wind in a different direction; believe in your dreams to have hope for a new day. The positive on both ends means that there is only truth behind it all. Hold tight to your dreams because your mind is the only thing that can deter it. You mind brings the conviction to pursue your desires. Give yourself strength to trust you will succeed. Keep dreaming.

Fairytale Ending

Good morning, we forgive but do we ever really forget. The pain the world has thrown us. We try to warm our hearts but with such despair. The real blissful air seems to be a cliché of what is supposed to be. To relieve yourself of such anguish we place a block over the memory that is slowly being chipped at each time we relive the pain. We continue to cycle through because we have not dealt with the issue. Can we forgive and not forget? Or to forgive you must forget. How can one be in the same? We strive to find truth and happiness in everything we see but to come full circle into reality the truth turns into lies and happiness is bleak. But how does the sun shine when our minds are so weak? Gracious are we surviving to make a happy ending through all we have seen. Happily ever after doesn’t just come from the fairytales. It comes from within.

R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

Good morning, respect has lost its way in the world. We all want it but forget to give it in return. It’s a requirement in every relationship but where has it gone. How can we demand something we do not provide ourselves? We look for others to respect us but we do not respect ourselves. No one can respect us if we do not value ourselves in the same light we want them to see us. Having a high opinion of yourself should not bring you too far off the ground where one cannot imagine height of your existence. Be rational with your admiration that others can see how beautiful and valuable you are. Always remember the ugly duckling became a swan.

Ray of Light

Good morning, as the light shines through the clouded sky we awake with dismay in our eyes. A new day has come but the day hasn’t changed. We are constantly tired of the same routine running through our brains. Fulfilling our destiny does not seem to be as close as we want it to be. The distance is unknown but we know is not in plain sight to see. Each day we work like slaves that have privileges but we are unaware that these incentives are the ones that will kill us. Finding a new light to awaken us with confidence and assurance that today will not be like any other but a day filled with encouragement and happiness that we will not enslave ourselves anymore but become independent soldiers in this army at war. We owe it to ourselves to find the happiness we long for in each waking day. Look to the light for a brighter tomorrow.

Emotional Rollercoaster

Good morning, emotions are lessons in life that should never be forgotten but the experience should be left behind. Take steps to distance yourself from the emotional ties only taking the lesson learned. Value the changes you went through to reveal the ending result. Leave all ties behind and push forward into life. You are worth more than the link of a rusted chain. Pursue happiness in other places that are fulfilling to your existence. Dwelling on what will never come about will have you sitting in your own pity. Come clean with yourself that the situation has passed and stop pulling your comrades into the same pit of sorrow. No one will have sympathy for someone who wallows in self pity. Sympathy is only for ones who have learned from there emotional struggle and picked themselves up to great new heights. Empathize with yourself that you have more to offer in the next experience of life.

Social Humility

Good morning, arrogance is a deterrent that cannot be swayed. You will lose the truth through your arrogant ways. Blinded by the social light that eventually goes dim. Your arrogance wears thin and becomes of such disbelief. Not a once of humility to bring you back to reality. Tired of playing these silly little games of cat and mouse? You have stooped so low your actual height. Your arrogance has made go beneath your potential to stay so high. You’ve lost your way in this world and your head is two sizes too big. Compression is needed to recover your pure soul. Need to find solid ground to rediscover yourself. Remember what is important and what has helped you through. Coping mechanisms are not the blame that is only you. You control how you cope and deal with each obstacle in each lane. You can dodge one time and may have to jump the next. But your claim to fame is not worth your self humility. Consider who you are, where you’ve come from and where you’ve been. Now readjust the station to where you’re going. Foundation is a good start but there’s still no roof or walls to live in. Redesign the door to your future.

Skittles

Good morning, does tone really make up the beauty etched within? Thought we were all created in the same image. Flesh did not bear pigment of one color but a mere body that cased the soul. Attraction comes not only on the surface but deep within you mind. An initial reflection of curves and accents draws us near not the mere stain of our flesh. Dark, light, brown and in between we all came from the same being. Rooted back in history to the beginning of time, we all came from the same divine. A rib and dirt combined makes generations of us to die. Placed before the gates of heaven or hell, you are seen from the depths of heart not the tone of your flesh. We are all created in equal image of one that comes in many different flavors to taste. Taste the Rainbow.

Linked Connection

Good morning, a closeness in between is a feeling you don’t want to leave. Experiencing life above the clouds on a natural high that cannot be denied. Seeing life from another side of the spectrum where the rest of the world cannot. These feelings all gathered into one and you will know you’ve reached the highest point. To bond with no expectations and find a confidant that cannot be replaced. Skipping down memory lane and jumping for joy after a giving night. You know what you’ve found or do you need help realizing? A connection, that’s what you have. This connection is different with each passing day but grows stronger with each touch. Your connection in life will only grow to be the height of your existence as long as you know how to fuel it. Each connection you make is a link in the chain bringing you closer to your everlasting love of life. Never let the connection die for you break a link in your chain. Mend the weak links in your chain. These cannot be replaced.

Eye Opener

This is dedicated to Genuwine and Sole'. I hope I didn't miss my door. Thanks.

Good morning, inspiration comes from many different areas in life. We have many that we place on pedestals that shine down on us. They are held at this height not to be better but to open your mind and show you that there is a way. There is a door waiting to be opened to inspire you. Sometimes you are right in front of that door but do not open it. You may not see it or you may be afraid of where it may lead you. Sometimes you have to take that chance and put yourself forward. The chopping block was not only made to chop wood but inspire the great escape. The chance of a lifetime is right before your eyes. Just open your eyes.

Negative Turned Positive

Good morning, is there always an ulterior motive behind everyone’s relationships? Some may say yes and some may say no but truth be told the answer is yes. There is always some benefit to having someone around which makes up that motive. You can be someone’s genuine friend or lover and still have ulterior motives. Stop looking at the negative aspect of the words and look at the real meaning. Ulterior motives are things that are not seen in the immediate but may be seen in the future. We engage in casual relationships with ulterior motives of being together or becoming business partners or just to become physical. We do not look at our actions of being deceitful because it’s not an intentional thought but unconsciously it exists. There’s always something beyond the human eye. So should we all be considered untrustworthy or just people waiting for the right opportunity? Every negative should have a positive but it takes a deeper thought to see it. An ulterior motive is not always a bad thing and could actually benefit both parties involved but you have to look deeper to see it.

The Maze

Good morning, to think that we won’t fall into the same traps would be common sense but we are still human and make the same mistakes more than once. We do not always learn the whole lesson the first time. We gather pieces each time we fall. We just hope each time we get up this will be the last time. There are many paths we must take to find strength within ourselves. There are hurdles we must jump to see how high we really can go. There is so much to learn and so many ways to go. Direction is the answer to all questions asked. Once you know your direction you will know more than you think. The beginning is knowing your path, the middle is staying on course and the end is completing the track. Life has a never ending road of expeditions. We are like mice in a big maze trying to find the cheese; we cross paths to reproduce, gather information and create alliances. The only thing we can’t see is there is no cheese.

Time to Decide

Good morning, only time will tell which way the wind will blow. To see beyond yourself and see someone else is a gift that comes with time. Experiences lay a pathway to the promised future. Do we walk this alone? There are many different relationships that will come and go and some last a lifetime that will impact the road traveled. Even still you can be walking alone. Having many near doesn’t mean you are not alone. Overcrowded is just like being in a small box alone. You will see the true meaning of having someone in your life when the time is right. Sometimes the wind blows in your direction and sometimes it takes another course. You do have some control over this by making wise decisions and opening yourself. You can also make a new path that has a new beginning and a new end. There’s always a choice. Make a decision.

Life Lessons

Good morning, we live to learn and pass on. Can you live and not learn? If you keep yourself in a steel box with no way in or out, then the answer maybe yes. We are blinded by good intentions but the immature are more aware then played to see. Lessons to be taught should not be repeated with the same mistake. Fooled by you or are others to blame? Or did you not take notes on the lesson to be learned. There are many lessons that you may not see or understand but take heed to each notion. Open your mind and become a pupil to proceed into the instructor. The instructor is always a pupil and a pupil is in turn the instructor. Live to learn now pass on.

The Price of Entertainment

Good morning, kindness is a misconception of love. False pretences bring upon labels without a name. Gossip has ears buzzing with latest news. Trustworthy story cause they know first hand. The lies that are told to make or break a reality of an unknown future become a catch 22. The world has many tales to tell but they are only stories of assumptions that cannot be validated. We uphold these tales as if they are valid. Your path should not change direction because of the rumor mill. You should stand before them and go forth with life as if they don’t exist instead giving their suspicions legitimate. As long as the talk is there you are important in their eyes to take up this much time to construct such information and pass it along. Breaking spirits for jealous, dense and spineless conversation is beneath us but yet we break our backs to entertain. Facts of life will be missed in the walk alone. By your side the egotistical paper trail of news. It’s so entertaining.

Overwhelmed Emotion

Good morning, mood swings overwhelm the air. The mists of tears wash the many faces that care. Trying to clear the fear behind the eyes, trying to console the agony in the belly, trying to turn the frown into a smile is not without despair. Sharing the inside world is made harder with each interaction. The closer the feelings the further the connection but the closer the connection the feelings are denied. The obvious has a subtle approach that not everyone can see but sometimes it’s seen but deprived. The winds have changed direction and now there’s a vacancy to be filled. The pressure of the head has been relieved to some degree. The mind is made a decision that lets in new air. The mood has been swung free and clear. The tears have dried and there’s no more care. The frown is not upside down but pulled straight.

In The End

Good morning, we compromise ourselves to make life comfortable for others. We sell ourselves to make beneficial arrangements but in the end was it all worth it to lose yourself? Sometimes compromise is not in the best interest of anyone. You can hinder your own life to make someone else’s comfortable is a sacrifice but a trap as well. Dependency is a poison that floats through our airways carried by us. We shelter others believing we are doing what’s right but are only causing a long hall of pain and suffering. Throwing a tantrum is not the way to get what you want but we always give in. We give a deceiving message with our surrender to their wishes and the misconceptions are lies to ourselves as well. We cannot grow with our own lives trying to carry someone else on our shoulders. Growth is a process that everyone has to face and from that process should be truth. Truth is not something that is handled with care. Protection is not always the answer. Entrapment speaks louder than you can see. So again, the question arises, was it all worth it in the end?

Walking Away

Good morning, no one does it better than you but everyone needs help. Everyone wants to give a lasting impression but cannot always do it on our own. Pride can hinder us from taking steps in the direction we want to go. Sometimes our impression is not noticed by the one’s we are trying to impress. That shouldn’t deter us from being genuine characters. We should be able to express ourselves open heartedly without fault. Even we you don’t see the positive results, trust you’re making an impression. The impression of a lifetime because remember no one does it better than you. The help comes from the ignorant and the unwilling. There are not many of our kind but when we are gone, we are missed. To create the real lasting impression, you have to say good-bye. The hardest thing to do in life but that’s the only way to see the impression you have made. Walk away for you to see that you are the greatest there is to be. Time to say good-bye.

Foot Steps

Good morning, life’s tragedies are our road maps to success. We cannot be successful without having learning experiences. We cannot strive for success without falling flat on our face. There are many bumps in the road that should not turn us around but make us stronger to help us survive. There are many fallen heroes we can look to for guidance but don’t repeat their mistakes. Go beyond the ones before you, for those have just laid the foundation now it’s your turn to build the house. Now when you build this house always leave room for someone to come behind you and add on. You will be the foundation for someone else following your footsteps. Can you see them behind you?

Natural Force

Good morning, the world is full of chaotic emotions that we cannot seem to get a hold of. We expect from each other what we believe is the same we expect from ourselves but in actuality we expect more from the outsider. We are individuals but we are the same. We find ourselves asking for what is different but continue to play the same game. The results do not change if the rules are not bent. Playing by the book is not the safest way. Come out of the square and make a detour into the air. The air that we breathe we believe keeps us alive but do we not realize it is more than just air that we breathe. The unknown particles we cannot see make up our chemistry. Each of us carries the same make-up but is ingrained with a different substance. So when we do come together, our chemicals combined make a pure essence. That’s something you don’t have to push for, it’s natural. Grasp the natural essence of each other and don’t let it go. Do not block the unlimited possibilities of something real from the soul.

JUMP

Good morning, we shelter ourselves from exposures of the world. We hold ourselves back and then complain. We talk a good game but are never in the position to take that leap of faith. We create cycles that seem to never end. When does the cycle break? When do we rediscover ourselves? When do we look beyond the conspiracy theories? When are we free to live life? The shallow thoughts consume our way of life. There are things beyond our human eye. We are curious by nature but are scared to adventure. Stop thinking so hard your head explodes and take the leap of faith. It’s time to jump are you ready?

The A Game

Good morning, accepting and admitting to yourself the real deal is not something we look forward to. We are not ready to accept what is and admit it to be true. Struggling with the facts is a common rule. If you see it to be true why run or hide? Face it and embrace it. You will find yourself in a better place once you can stop running. Accepting and admitting, two words that hold the direction over the road we take. Many of us take the back roads so that we are not seen on the main road. Sometimes accepting will open a door to a part of the world that you have been longing for but didn’t know how to get there. Admitting can bring on knowledge that may have been there but you blocked it out. Stop being afraid of what you know is the truth. Accept to admit and admit to accept. Don’t let the words play you.

The World On Our Shoulders

Good morning, we believe we can take on the world. We wear the weight of the world on our shoulders. But isn’t that a heavy burden for one to carry? Even sharing the weight is too much to bear. With all the people in the world we still could not hold up the world. There’s a force that carries this burden for us. Gravity gives the world a place in this galaxy. The world becomes weightless to us and we become the burden on the world’s shoulders. Now is the world strong enough to take on this load. The world is crying and slowly dying with the weight we put on it. Shifting responsibility of an indefinite crisis, placing the blame somewhere else is all the result of not knowing or at least asking the questions, who, what, when and why. Then ask how we fix it. We are the world and deserve to make it a better place. History doesn’t have to be repeated.

Broken Development

Good morning, they say, “don’t fix it if it’s not broke” but is enhancing it breaking it? You like what you have but you see more potential, why not put more effort to develop it more? We are more scared of the positive than the negative, why, not sure but we will sabotage something good just because we are afraid. Learning to establish a positive rapport within ourselves first will make it easier to receive the perfect picture. Our defenses are always up and we cannot control that sometimes. We are all damaged goods but we don’t have to show it. Progression in life seems to be short lived nowadays. If you really see more, go for it. Nothing should stand in your way. You can only try and if you are not successful, you have not lost anything. In the end you still have your original that was working just fine. Maybe the enhancement was a bit much for that moment but at least you gave it a shot.

Prisoner of the World

Good morning, we struggle to realize why we have to be something we are not. We may all say we are true to ourselves but we are all phony, one way or another. You cannot be the same person in all environments without judgment. Therefore we make different hats for ourselves to wear. Sometimes we get so confused on who we really are trying to please the outside world. It’s sad when you cannot be happy without a down pour of jealousy. Makes you wonder what you have done to deserve the beating. No matter how much we pick ourselves back up, we fall. No matter how hard we try to ignore our ear is still open. No matter how isolated we become there’s always someone knocking at the door. Rumors, judgment and mockery are stigmatic to our world filled with locked doors and prison walls. We are prisoners to the surrounding but is there a way out? A genius criminal is never caught but even the greatest criminal is trapped in these walls.

Me, Me, Me, Beast

Good morning, we share different bonds with different people but never really know someone’s intentions. You think you can share your world with someone but don’t realize that’s only in your mind. They say, brush off your shoulders but who really does that? In actuality, no one. Just because you may not show it on your face or in your actions, there’s always a reaction somewhere in some time. Everything you do, intentional or non-intentional affects the people that surround you. In our minds it’s, “I do me and answer to no one.” What B.S. are we telling ourselves to get over the hurts, the pains, and the ridicules of life? We align ourselves with defense mechanisms to block ourselves from these things but don’t realize what else we are blocking with them. It’s a game that may be played but who has time for such childish things. Take notice of what’s in front of you, your next step can determine what follows. Be cautious and step lightly, never know what beast you can be awakening.

Flying High

Good morning, above the clouds our heads seem to go but when we come down do we not know who we are. Inside, behind closed doors is always a different chapter in everyone’s story. We will never know anyone including ourselves to full capacity. Searching to find each other as well is ourselves is a task that will always be marked in our books. Life graces us with many things that we should never take for granted but we do. Look beyond yourself to see where your influence can be utilized instead of bring your own head to another level. It never hurts to give a little of yourself especially if you have such an abundance. Many become so self-involved they have forgotten the space they share. Time is a precious thing you should never waste it on one thing including yourself. To reach a new height you have reach down below and place things at the start of your path to build you up. You can reach many levels you couldn’t even have dreamed by giving of yourself. There are never limitations on a life gift. Just open your book of knowledge. In reality you are no where further than the next because we share the same atmosphere. You should never stay so far beyond the clouds that you cannot see the ground. You have to see where to land.

Greatness in Peace

Good morning, to find greatness within yourself is to find peace. We want to accomplish so much with so little time. One step at a time, you will build a path to your destiny. Giving of yourself can be a strength but played as a weakness. Never let the world change your view of you. One person can affect your life in the worse way and shut you down from the rest. This is a form of control. The only one that should be in control is you. One is not many, never associate the two. If you would like to see greatness within, find greatness outside. A tragedy brings pain but it’s only temporary. Changing the negative into a positive shows how much power you hold. Utilize this positive energy to the best of your ability. You will see that you are stronger than you thought you could be. Holding back and becoming bottled up is not a way to live. Not only are you missing out but someone else is missing out on you too. Find your greatness and be at peace.

Your Movie

Good morning, as the light shines down on us, we hesitate to reach new heights. We are always afraid to take that next step. We hold ourselves back from the goals we want to explore without a clue as to why. We are confused about where the path may lead. The only thing stopping us is ourselves. Stop being afraid of the new and change your world to follow you. You are the director of the show as well as the star. Where you go they will follow. Find confidence within yourself to step forth with pride unimaginable. Change will come when we least expect it but change is not a bad thing but an evolution of greatness to come. Stand tall for your light will dim out if you turn your back. They say walk into the light, remember you make the movie a five star show. Never let the light fade away for you are the light on a path to save the day. Shine bright and shine long. One day this great movie will play for others.

Investment in Life

Good morning, things aren’t always what they seem. The smile in your face is not always a friendly one. The generous contributions are not just because, there’s usually a seeking for a return. They say give to receive but shouldn’t there be a clause to that, stating you may not necessarily receive what you want, when you want it. You may receive from somewhere else that you wouldn’t even have thought about. Everything is an investment but the return doesn’t always come from where you invested. Giving in general is an investment in life which is broad not specific. Watch the trickery to get something that may not necessarily be what is intended. You will find many things standing in your way of your receipt but as long as you continue to stay true to oneself you will have an abundance of receipts that cannot all be stopped at once. Keep all roads open for traffic; you don’t want to be caught on a one way street.

Beyond the Wall

Good morning, each trial and tribulation we go through reminds us of how strong or weak we really are. Many have steel exteriors that are truly flimsy. Others are just so harden you don’t even know what material it’s made of. Regardless of the exterior the interior is what holds us together. All exteriors can be broken; some just take more time and the right environment than others. If you stay around the same crowd of exteriors as your own, you may never be broken because you are only receiving harden materials. A diverse set of exteriors is the best way to see there are other ways to live your life without creating an enclosed individual. You want to give and receive but are so afraid. Each trial and error is for purposes of relieving your fear. Your heart is stronger than you think. Your mind is weaker than your heart but you let your mind decide. Try taking a different step outside instead of the same path you of come to know. Find a different way to live with a new waking agenda. You don’t suffer for nothing. You suffer to gain strength. Use the strength you gain to find out who you really are. Become sure of yourself, not just in your swag but beyond the mind. There’s always something behind the wall, take a look.

Catch 22's Gift or Curse

Good morning, the world is a catch twenty-two. You cannot live life with an open mind or heart without being taken advantage of. Being a good person is a curse and a gift but then again what isn’t. Seeing life from a different side is a gift but the cruelty of the world turns it into a curse. We try to break cycles but history still repeats. We try to honor the stigmas we have but the stereotypes are still beaten. Being the real you can be a hard pill to swallow with the status quo of the world. We speak of there being no “perfect” world but does it have to be perfect to be accepting. We don’t want to be alone but we don’t want to give each other the same chance of defining respect. Instead we crush each other every chance we get, killing spirits that could have been a helping hand. Everyone has an alter-ego but who is the real you? The alter-ego is your truth that you cannot define to the world so it becomes a scapegoat in a security blanket. We are all urging for a release from this illusion into a reality. We inspire with gifts and damage with curses. So why the catch twenty-two, guess it’s not “normal” to go against the status quo and embrace your alter-ego. The Earth was not given a catch twenty-two when it was given the gift of life so why have we changed it into a curse that seems to never die?

Remember to Forget

Good morning, we are so fueled with rage we forget about sensitivities. We horde animosity and become self absorbed. We forgot life isn’t perfect. We are selfish in every way. So selfish that we hurt one another and forget we are all affected. We forget that each of us are someone’s something. We are all human. Why hurt anyone when you would not want yourself or your loved one to hurt that same way? There are many blessings passing by because of the hurt we build up and hold on to. Harboring feelings that should pass through our system as if we just ate lunch instead we have indigestion. These are experiences of life to mature from not stunt your growth. Stop forgetting common sense and bring yourself back into the reality that the world does not revolve around you. You are one entity in a big world. Remember you are just like your neighbor. No reason to hurt your mother, father, sister or brother. We are all a family even if we don’t like each other. Build on it. There’s only one world, we have to share this space.

Scope of Difference

Good morning, there’s a quaint silence over the world. Immortality is nothing but a myth. We are all human with mistakes to be made. To believe that we are invincible is only in our head. We all bleed with every cut. To tell the truth we are fragile creatures of this land on a path to find where we belong. We crumble with each crack we step on and become hardened by each line we cross. We find ourselves in an uproar when we cannot grasp what life brings. We are undeniably fueled by emotion no matter how much we try to control it. We change our state of mind with each challenge we face. Just cause we trip doesn’t mean we have to fall. Making it doesn’t mean you have to be rich. The definition of life is ever changing and so are we. Bringing life about face and you will see the many colors that make up one whole world. We are all defined but with evolving classifications. Different doesn’t mean inhuman. It means we are all special in our own little way. Empower you for you are not promised a better tomorrow.

Positive Energy

Good morning, there are many close negative vibes in our lives that we struggle to get rid of. Some are so close we can’t get rid of them. So what do we do? We try to control the negative force surrounding us by placing it in a container only allowing small doses. But sometimes we are not in control and allow excess exposure. Just like too much sun will damage our skin, too much negativity will damage our soul. We use sun block to prevent damage from the sun, finding a negative block will help prevent damage to your inner self. Positive karma brings upon a great light in your life. You will feel like you are flying through life with a glow around you. Lift yourself to a higher regime. Regain your positive life.

FUNdamentals of Life

Good morning, we crave the excitement of life but are not sure how to balance it with career paths we face. Coming to grips that your excitement in life should follow in the steps of your career path will give you a better sense of where you are on this path. You will find strength in everyday life doing exactly what excites you. Whatever drives you to be then you should take that with you each day to persevere. Life was not made to be hard but we have made it that way trying to be things we are not. Not listening to our hearts but looking for the right dollar sign. We make many mistakes when we find ourselves being greedy instead of taking just enough. Bringing true happiness in the world of living is to stimulate your mind, body and soul. Create a productive mind through a self gratifying world. Use your essential pleasure to become a success story. Life will be your ultimate fun.

Life Priorities

Good morning, learning what priorities are will help you to focus your life on what’s really important. Many of us don’t know how to determine priorities in their life. We think we need everything, making it seem like everything is priority. Women believe me are priorities, wrong. Women can live without men, so how are they priorities? Men believe sex is a priority, wrong. Men can go without but chose not to. We make choices in life that should help us give precedence to the appropriate matters. Parents, your children are priorities over any and everything. You are a priority over your partner. Having stability should be a priority. Finding these things in life will give you a better outlook and better time management. The club will always be there but your friend may not. The streets will always be there but a career will not. Sex, drugs and violence will always be there but your life will not. Let’s see how you prioritize your life.

Preparation of Time

Good morning, life takes unexpected twists and turns but if you plan accordingly it won’t hit you as hard. Preparation is a key point of life. To prepare for the worst is to be aware of what’s next. Trying to be one step ahead of the game is always a positive thing. You take time to party but cannot take time for life. Put in work to prepare yourself for a path of success. Time is of the essence and you should manage yours well. For good time management is essential in planning. Rushing through life is a disadvantage to a steady pace. You will miss out on things that can make a grave difference. So stop and smell the roses once in a while, you may receive something you may need for your next adventure. Spare your time wisely; otherwise you won't realize when it’s being wasted.

Don't Give Up

Quitting is not an option because this is life. Life is hard and troublesome that can deter you from being sane. Make your bed and lay in it with dignity and grace. Pray that everyday will get better with each stride. Find an outlet that still makes you whole or maybe that person that keeps you on solid ground.

Breathe

Good morning, we are heavily guarded in so many ways. We are afraid to lift the barriers that hide us from it all. We recondition ourselves to feel comfortable amongst the world, when deep inside we are still hurting. Bottled up with heavy locks on the door, we open up for no one not even ourselves. No way in and no way out, the sad truth of it all. Inside the box we miss out on the world. Strong hold on our heart we miss out on love. Damaged goods aren’t we all? Rearrange your mind to rearrange your soul. Pain is an inevitable feeling in the steps to find joy. You will never appreciate the joyous feelings of life if you have not suffered the pain first. Guard yourself from the inevitable, how? Always put your all into what you want even after you fall. Should one snake in the grass make you build a steel fence? Then you will not be able to let the sunshine in to nurture your soil. Now understand if the soil is poor here, you must move but no reason to waste good soil. Plant to flourish. Building walls destroys the earth and you have lost a piece of yourself. You cannot feel the warmth of the sun to grow within yourself to see another day. Break down the walls so you can bloom into the flower you really are. Let the beauty of the world breathe life back into your soul. Now breathe.

Same Space

Good morning, everyone has a place in this space that makes up the world. We all cannot be leaders because without followers there are no leaders. It is not to be beneath anyone but just your right place. We are all equal regardless of our social status. We all came in the same way and will go out the same. There is no difference. Do not stomp on the bug beneath your foot for it belongs here just as much as you. Give each other space to grow in their place. There are many mouths that depend on that place that you call home. So why deny thy neighbor to feed their humble abode. We are one in the same but with different names. We may grow at a different pace to find our place but we all occupy the same space.

Shining Star

Good morning, we rise then fall to get back up another day. We have so much but cannot see it. We are blinded by many different things. The pain we’ve held the ignorance we’ve displayed and the stroked ego we’ve grown over time may never heal. We reach for stars that we cannot touch but right before our eyes there shines a star. A star to grant every wish but you have not opened your heart and over time it becomes dim, slowly fading away. Now you’re wishing upon a star that’s so far and cannot hear your cry. If you had only opened your eyes to see, your hearts desire was only an arms length away. They say look before you cross the street before you get hit. Your blindness has made you fall flat on your face. It’s time to rise above it all. There’s an open hand you must grab hold before it closes. Become aware of your surroundings, educating your mind. You have pain that will heal over time if concentrate on your divine destiny. On your journey you will find that same star you denied. Here’s your second chance to try again. To see what you could not previously. Will your wish be granted or denied?

Inevitable Change

Good morning, changing into the person you would like to become is not as easy as saying the words. Rediscovering who you really are, remember is a journey of a lifetime but to find that niche, your passion, your desire is one step closer to your salvation. There will be many obstacles standing in your way but don’t at them as barriers blocking your way but challenges for you to overcome. Challenges are like your personal trainers preparing you for the big fight. Listen to them, learn from them and as you grow leave them behind. Always remember where you came from as a reminder not to fall back. Don’t be scared of your transformation. Embrace the metamorphosis procedure you are facing. Open your mind to inhale the stench of the everlasting revolution. This fight you will win if you can focus on your goal, “You”. There are many helping hands in find what you will call yourself and don’t deny them. But ultimately, it’s your mind, your soul, your destiny. Change is going to come; you just need to decide which direction you’re going in.

Sister's Pain (poem)

Sister I hear you crying
As momma is holding you near
Flip the circumstance
I’m pushed in the cold
Being scolded as if I am to blame.
Now is that fair.
We hurt the same, we cry the same
But why is only one to blame
You call on me to comfort you
as only a sister can do
Then she sweeps right in and takes over
She’s angry and mad at all the things
that have given you pain
To see me and flee as to give me “tough love”
Why have my open arms closed?
Resented for the mistakes she’s made but yet I pay
I pay with the life I lead each day
Tarnished by the pain of her path,
Left to die inside or pick up on my own.
Your pain is short lived on the outside at least
For the mall and spa have comforted you many a day
With help of momma paying your way
But I just close my eyes and watch the tears drop inside my heart
As I watch from outside the window like a little girl, lost
But on the outside I just sit and stare wondering when the window will open
And swing my way
I guess we only feel the same on the inside
And on the outside we’re just playing two different games.

Dead Weight

Lighten the weight off your shoulders. The heavy burdens you carry are not yours to bare. Release the anger and frustration of the adolescent craniums that cross your path in each waking day. "Turn the other cheek", they say. "Forgive and forget", rings in your ear. Taking in the words of wisdom that sound so simple but so hard to comply. You find strength within when you can comply. The heavens will bare all for you as long as you try. Find your strength each time you fire a blow or spit knives. The impact can be deadly to fallen ears.

Powerful Thought

Thinking about the thoughts that flow through your mind each day. Coming to the conclusion that we are not conscience of our thoughts and the impact they have on our every day life. Sit back and concentrate on the thoughts you have today, maybe you will impact a positive motion that will reflect us all.

Talented Road (poem)

Stop wasting your talents on nonsense little girl
Go out and adventure the big world
You’re too intelligent and strong to be sitting behind that desk
Raise yourself above the petty thieves that have stolen your gift
Crown yourself ‘Queen’ and make them bow at your feet
Take the risk of conquering the world in one short breath
You can do it as long as you put your mind to it
Don’t let anything stand in the way of glory
Your meaning and purpose has nothing to do with those gray walls
I see you pretty in pink and dazzling in diamonds
Flaunting green down the red carpet scenes
With flashing lights and screaming fiends
Doesn’t mean you’re a movie star or a famous musician
You can still be the one behind the scenes with all the glory and green
But before you hold your head too high
Don’t forget the past that brought you, your future
The people that helped you along the way
And the ones who said you would never make it
That is all important to stay true to yourself with handling success
Yes, we have to come back to reality but just remember
You will rise above the simplicity of the gray walls to glamorous color and fame.

The Simple Life

Good morning, simplicity is a rare find in this day. Nowadays we want it all in the worst of ways. To find the simple things in life is to appreciate the beauty in it. You can be wealthy and still not happy. You can be on the top of the world and still be lonely. Less is more and more is less. The richest person in the world is the most generous. The poorest person in the world is the greediest. Prosperity comes from within that will drive you on the outside. You can make your life beautiful with the simplest pieces. The world is not beautiful because of the human jewelry it wears but the naked scenery. Devour your simplicity and show how beautiful you really are. Become wealthy through your happiness made by minimal efforts. Striving is effortless if you really want it. The question is do you want and how bad?

Lose Some to Gain Some

Good morning, each day is a dawning of a new. Losing something so dear and close to your hear is enough to crush your soul. We may ask why but is that really for us to know? To have faith is to believe. Believe that it was meant to be. There are many things set in place for reasons beyond our control. Coming into an understanding of what you will do next to move forward will lead you closer to the faith you believe in. There are no chosen words that can make it all disappear but the progression of life will ease the pain. Remember with each passing there’s a new life, with each closed door another opens and with each blown light bulb another shines brighter. It’s not over, it’s just beginning.

Taken For Granted

Good morning, we are blind sided to how much we take for granted. Whether its people, money, jobs or life in general we are fortunate to have these things. Every speck of life should be cherished; every gift offered should be treasured and every being should be loved. Gratitude is not spoken it is felt in each gesture. We are mind boggled by the insolent unappreciative actions of another but have we looked in the mirror. We believe that we have taken the right steps to be true to who we are and others around us but we fall short when it doesn’t benefit us. Dog eat dog, right? Then you are lonely because you just ate your friend. Survival doesn’t mean to take or use. To survive is to persevere, to get along or remain healthy, happy, and unaffected in spite of life’s adversities. The more you take for granted the more you will be affected and struggle. The more you will not survive. Your arrogant ego will be humiliated and brought down to size. Behind your pride you are just trying to survive. Return the love shown, treasure the gifts given and cherish the life lived. The chance of a lifetime has been granted.

Give to Receive

Good morning, in a world of the less challenged we are spoiled believing we are owed something. We take without giving back. To receive you must be willing to give. If your hand is closed tight you will no longer receive gifts of life. There have been struggles that have helped us evolve to see the privileges we have today. As future results of the past, we have not seen these struggles first hand to believe that we are owed anything. We must continue on the same path our past has brought victory from. The struggle is not over. There are many without labor but don’t want to get their hands dirty. You cannot provide prosperity in the home without getting down on your knees and looking up for guidance. Eventually you will be able to wash your hands of the dirt you have cultivated. But do not look as if it is beneath you to start at the bottom before rising to the top. There are no handouts. Nurture the soil that beds your feet to give you balance to stand. The circle of life never ends. Remember you are not owed anything you have not struggled for. Give to receive.

Genius or Insane

Good morning, everyone wants to be a genius but no one wants to be insane. A genius is insane. Insane is exhibiting unsoundness or disorder of the mind; delirious. Each labeled genius introduced something the common brain misconstrues as foolish and unsound. Plato, Leonardo Da Vinci and Albert Einstein, just to name a few have been labeled as pure genius to see beyond the common realm and pull out something beautiful. We appreciate and value their work now for our world would not be the same without it but at first glance they were sought to be crazy and deranged for thinking and believing in a light that only they could see. Pure genius isn’t the society defined high IQ. It’s thinking and believing in the irrational and rickety ideas that no one else took a chance to stand up for. A wise man has wisdom to share even if it’s not instilled within. Become the insane geniuses we look for to inspire insanity.
