Slow Down

Have we gotten so busy and focused on ourselves that we have no regard for anyone else? Take for instance when driving, where someone would sit there and wait until it's clear to pull out into the lane, there are many that will just gun it in hopes that they make it causing you to have to slam on breaks or quickly switch lanes. Then there are the ones that weave in beind you, upset that you're only going 10 miles over the speed limit, so they decide to go around you doing 70 in a 35 while mean mugging you as they pass. Why are we in such a hurry to get 20 feet in front of one another. 9 times out of 10 you end up sitting at the same red light. What did you accomplish? Absolutely nothing. Where did our patience go, and how many people have to be hurt or killed by impatient drivers before we realize that we simply need to slow down. God Bless y'all.

I Do It Just Because...

I'll never brag about what I can do, will do, or have done for you. But, I will do everything I can to keep us happy together.

Dream Big

Who are we to tell someone what they can or can't dream? When did we become the authority on whether someone's goals are set too high? When a person works towards his or her dreams, they are putting a plan into action for their lives. Each of us has a specific destiny that we are supposed to work towards. We have a purpose. We must find that purpose for ourselves and walk in it in order to come into our destiny.

There are people in this life that serve as hindrances, or stumbling block on the way to your destiny. They poison your mind with doubt, with questions, and make you feel as if your purpose isn't worth the trouble. These naysayers can be friends, family, or complete strangers. We must protect our dreams and not allow the words and sentiments of these people cloud our judgment when it comes to making things happen for ourselves.

Always speak your dreams into existence, and maintain a positive vibe. Dismiss anyone or anything around you that may be throwing off a negative vibe, as this will prolong your journey to where you are supposed to be.

Lastly, be supportive of the dreams of others. One of the biggest things a dreamer needs is a positive support group. You can turn inches to miles depending on your level of faith, the correct mindset and the demeanor of the people surrounding you. Make strides towards your destiny, and let no one deter you from it. God Bless

Say What?

I just want to speak on something right quick. When did the people of America become such whiners? We take offense to so much these days that it's absolutely ridiculous. Now, I'm not one of those that will go out an proclaim to the world that the end is near, but you certainly have to wonder. Especially when you have people getting offended by someone simply telling you to "have a blessed day". Are you serious? There are so many more things that we could be worried about in life besides someone telling you to be blessed. Furthermore...why would you even run out and tell on someone for that? It's a tad too trivial for my taste. But, I do say this regardless. Have a Blessed Day!!!!! They should change the title of the USA to the DSC. The Divided States of Complainers.

New Video

I've put together a new video. This is a side of me that I haven't really put out there before so I hope you enjoy it. This is a short intro song that I wrote and produced called Carolina Homegrown. I am planning to use it as an intro to my work in Progress Spoken Word cd that has the working Title of Real Writing.

Pay It Forward

Good morning friends and family. I am so grateful to see another day. I'm also grateful that all of you have as well. When we lie down at night, there's no guarantee that we'll rise again...so this morning I ask this...Are you satisfied with what you're doing? Are you doing what you've always dreamed you'd do, or are you still "wishing" you could do it? Have you inspired, encouraged, or complimented anyone today? It's easy to criticize, or speak about what you don't like about someone or something...but what good comes of tearing someone down? WHy can't we build each other up? Are we afraid that someone might get more than what we have? Then go get yours...stop worrying about what he or she has and go get you some of your own. We all have the potential to do or be anything we want. Don't let your life's situations ever tell you otherwise. If you have information that you know will benefit others, pass it along...someone may need that..stop keeping things that are designed to prosper to yourselves....y'all ain't ready for this message today...I see networking going on between individuals all the time...and it brings a smile to my face each time I see it....but then it also saddens me...why? Because it's never "us", that I see sharing prosperity with one another. Every where I go...I see people attempting to build each other up, sharing information that could prove beneficial to others...but it's never "us". We have got to do better. We say a lot, but we never "do" anything. Our word can never be taken seriously. If we say we'll be there at 10, we don't show up until 2. If we say we got you, we always forget about you. If we say we support you...it usually start and ends with those words. Imagine how far we'd be if our pride didn't blind us.

Ranting...Something On My Mind...

There are opportunities in this world for each one of us. It doesn't matter if you're black, white, asian, or whatever race, color or creed you may be. It doesn't matter if you're gay, straight, fully able or disabled, there is something that you are destined to do. All of us have a talent for something, whether it's a hidden one of obvious ones. For some of us, it comes naturally, and for others, we have to take a really deep look within ourselves to find what it is we're the best at and capitalize on it.

Being a black man, I see and hear stories of struggle from other blacks every day. Now, that's not to say that no other race has hard times, because It's a fact that they do but, I too often hear people speak on how they can't do this or that, including myself in some cases, which is something that I'm working on personally. People in certain places and situations settle for what they have or don't have and place blame on invisible entities as to why they can never elevate from where they are. Now, I know that there are some hard-working individuals out there living paycheck to paycheck, barely keeping the bills paid, wishing they had more. I can relate to that. But on the flip die...you have others that complain about not having anything, not being able to obtain anything but then you see them doing not so intelligent things with the money that they do have.

I'll give an example to make my point. I saw a video just now of a rapper on stage at a concert and chaos ensued when people started throwing bottles on the stage. People, we need to take some responsibility for ourselves. The only way we're ever going to get ourselves out of a hole is is our mindset completely changes and we start acting in a way that inspires prosperity amongst ourselves. You cannot rise to the top while standing in a sinkhole. The same individuals that say they can barely scrape up enough money to keep their lights on are paying to go to a concert to basically show how much they dislike the person they paid to see? What? This makes absolutely no sense to me. This man that you dislike, has already gotten paid off of the money you spent so more than likely, he doesn't care whether he finishes the show or not. He got his, and guess what? You wasted yours, when you could have invested in something that could have potentially helped you escape the situation that you're in.

Let's get it together people..Help someone help themselves. We need each other. God Bless.
