Get Up and Get It!!!!

Welcome to Monday ladies and gentlemen!!!

So glad to see you all and to be in the midst of it. If we realized just how much control we have over our own lives, we would know exactly how amazing life can be. The quality of our lives is the sum of the decisions we make, the people we allow to influence us, how well we educate ourselves and how we react to the situations that arise. The power to change is, always has been and always will be within us. So many of us are waiting on God to "show up and show out" for us, not realizing that He's always been there helping us along the way. He's waiting on you!!!

Stop sitting there waiting for something to happen for you. You have to go out and MAKE something happen for you. In order to BE something, you must DO something because if you continue to do nothing, that's exactly what you're going to get.

Be active in your life, be influential, surround yourself with people of influence. The people you look up to should be visible in your life outside of a television screen or a magazine article, etc. Make your reality greater than the dream that lead to it!!!



Let's get it ladies and gentlemen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't Give Up!!!

If you feel you're not receiving the attention or recognition that you feel you deserve in what you're doing, don't let it frustrate you. I've seen many people quit something that they are great at, that they were meant to do all because they weren't getting the feedback and/or accolades they felt they deserved.

The truth is, we can't help but feel that we should be noticed for what we do but, the reality of it is, that won't always happen. However, there is ALWAYS someone checking for you. There is ALWAYS someone who appreciates you and what you do. They may not make themselves known or vocalize it to you but trust me when I say that they are taking note.

Your biggest opportunities in life will be offered by people you never knew existed, people that have been taking careful notes of what you do and have enjoyed it. You will have random people compliment you on what you do at the time when you least expect it. Let those moments keep you going. Let the fact that someone out there is digging what you do motivate you even when you don't see them. That's what faith is all about. Believing what and when you can't physically that see person or persons, that support or that love. It doesn't mean it's not there. You just have to have some patience and believe that what you're doing is not in vain.

A Woman's Worth

If only she knew
how beautiful she is...
both inside and out
she'd know how
not just i but
how even the strangers in her presence
truly see her

if she could only feel
about herself
how i feel about her
how
everyone around her
really
feels about her
she'd know
exactly how loved she is...

she
gets lost in
misguided compliments and
knows only those who
give her the attention she craves and
in return she
bares her body
not realizing the beauty of her
mind and soul

she's empty...
not able to feel what real love is
through all of the
selfishness
that she's encountered

if she
only knew
her true worth

if she
only knew the value
that not man but God
has placed on her life...
if she could feel something
other than the many hands that have
force-fed her iniquities
with their
shallow promises and
ill intentions

if she only knew...
that the attention she seeks was
already there
she would have never
fallen into the hands
of a world that loves to see us fail...
that loves when our women
demean themselves because it
gives them permission
to continue the trend...

if she would only
open her eyes to her surroundings
open her heart to some real truth
open her mind that she may think for herself
and
open her mouth to speak up and say
NO MORE...
will I be subjected to this pain...
this...
self destructive path
for I choose life
before I lose it completely

Wake up my beautiful females...you are far more than your physical attributes.

Challenge Yourself

The easiest thing to do in life is nothing, but doing that carries the most harsh consequences.

Life itself is simple, there is nothing at all complex about it. It's the things that can an will present themselves to you that can be a problem....if you allow them to be. In order to be something you must first do something. Life itself should compel you to be proactive as well as reactive. Your reactions, however can and will define you either in a positive or negative way depending on how you react to the situations that arise.

We look at people that have things...that are successful and some of us automatically assume that they've got it made, that they are living it up. We don't normally see what they had to overcome to get there, what fears they may have had to conquer or what losses they may have suffered along the way. Every one of us have to give up something in order to get something. That's just the way it works. It's the circle of prosperity. You receive, then you give, you receive more, you give more....etc. It doesn't matter how big or small the thing is that you give because it will mean the world to the person receiving it. But....



First you have to commit yourself to something other than standing back and looking at what others have. Get up and use what you've been given to pull yourself out of where you are. Once you do, you will feel a great momentum shift...then you will feel a great resistance. This is when people start to give up, because the old ways will try to kick back in and that level of comfort from doing nothing will once again try to take over. This is the time when you have to push yourself. You have to take a glance back to see how far you've come and not want to see that place again. You cannot be satisfied with where you are. You must always forge ahead.

There should be nothing or no one that can talk you out of being who you are and accomplishing the things that you know were meant for you. Do what you do so well that you could do it in your sleep if you had to and never stop learning to be even better than you already are.

There's nothing holding you back but you.

Remember His Dream By Not Neglecting Your Own. Happy MLK Day.

Martin Luther King, Jr. made it alright to dream. He shared his dream with the entire nation and gave his life in the midst of trying to realize that dream. How many of you have a dream that important to you that you're willing to lay it all on the line to achieve it?

Forget King's dream for a moment. Think about what YOUR dream is. Think about what YOU'D like to accomplish; what you'd like your life to stand for. What are you willing to do to make sure your dream becomes your reality?

What adversities would you willingly face? How far would you go before you gave up, or would you never give up no matter what comes your way?

Let's always remember how important our dreams are. Let's always remember the sacrifices that others have made just so our dreams can exist. A man that has no dreams has nothing in life to look forward to. Look forward to doing, to being, to achieving something in your life no matter how big or small. Accomplishments have no size requirements nor do they have limits. Live your dreams starting today.

Thank you Dr. King.

A Message from Don Savant

Let the love for what you do inspire you to keep doing it well and as often as possible. This will inspire others to do the same.

Never believe that your goals are unattainable.

Happy New Year!!!!

The sky sits above us...and knowing that He sits on His throne up there in the midst of it gives me hope...it gives me a reason to want to exist...it gives me motivation to want to do better and inspires me to move forward with my dreams...that they be His will through the gifts and talents that He blessed me with. We're told that the sky is the limit...I say with Him, and the right mindset, there are no limits because beyond the sky is where He is seated, therefore, I will think..I will live...I will truly exist beyond the sky... Let's live beyond the sky!!!
