Promotion

Sometimes in order for YOU to get the promotion you have fought so hard for, God will demote you to get the attention HE SO craves.

Fight for your life

The second you stop fighting, that very second you signal your defeat. In that moment you have to make the critical calculation as to whether in defeat, your enemy will have enough mercy to spare your life or hold you in captivity. By my estimate, living to fight another day is immaterial if the enemy is merciless. Fight for your life!

Safety

We will never know how healthy we are until we are faced with unhealthy choices and yet we must not dabble in unhealthy practices to test our healthy choices. Build your wall not only to protect YOU from THEM, but THEM from YOU!

No Weapon

YOUR plan, yes, the very one that you conjured up while in your most thoughtful moment. The one that took you years to formulate,organize and implement. That very one that has me as the central character, taken advantage of, maligned, disgraced, injured and hurt. That very one, WON'T PROSPER!

Mess

Sometimes we stand at the closed door of our past mess turning the key, just waiting to hear the sound of the latch catching. Not hearing it, we test the door by trying to open it and allow the mess right back in. Latch the door and walk away.

Winning

Winning is not always about hoisting the cup or standing on the podium. Sometimes, even the defeated, weary from battle, bruised and bloodied, can feel triumphant because the winner looks worse than they do.

Liars

Hang around with liars for long enough and they actually start to get offended and defensive when you keep telling the truth. Soon enough they start treating the truth like it's a lie.

Waste

To live your life, dreamless and in a trance living for someone else is a waste. Then only to reach your end and realize that they never fulfilled their full potential because you never did either.

Respect Yourself

A clear sign that you're in the wrong place is when another person's personal interests keep bumping against your self respect with the full expectation that YOU will be the one to make the compromise.

Stop Running

Stop running around chasing illusions and sit still long enough to deal with your reality. You might just dream up a situation that will become your purpose for your life's new destination.

Re-Evaluate

If you yell charge and take off running, but your crew not once moving from their spot starts asking questions and seeking clarification; it's time to re-evaluate your crew.

Confirmation

Not looking for your confirmation or acknowledgement, in fact I would prefer your disdain and disparagement, simply because it has been the fuel I use as my encouragement. Back up now, please don't join the crowd now singing about my development because if my memory serves me correct, you used to be a big part of the negative sentiment.

Promises

I have learned that the biggest and most important promises, the very ones that matter the most and do the most to build you up? The ones that change your very inside and stoke your fire? Those promises are the life changing ones and the very ones YOU MUST KEEP.

Get Out of The Way

How the heck are you supposed to see in front of you, if you constantly keep standing in your own way? I mean WHO knows how best to block YOU but YOU? Time to pump fake yourself and GET PAST YOUR OWN objections. Your whole life's winning basket, comes down to your drive through THIS lane.

Reflection

Just because my feet are pointing in your direction, does not mean that my conviction NOT to step in your direction has changed. Once in a while I have to face your way, to appreciate how far I have come. Please do not misconstrue my posture as a reflection of welcome or acceptance. It is simply an acknowledgment that you WERE a part of what made me become, WHO I am.

Change Direction

Sometimes changing direction is the only way to get to your final destination. The obstructions may seem like an inconvenience, but they could be the difference between life and death.

Helping

The hardest part about helping someone is realizing when they shouldn't get your help. If helping you find yourself has anything to do with me losing parts of me, you're going to have to find YOU by yourself.

Failure

To die without having lived like dying was an option, is failure.

Appreciation

Smart people really should appreciate dumb people because without them, there would be nobody to oooh and aaah at the absolutely dumb things they do. Many of these so called smart things require a dumb person to appreciate them. Just like dumb people should appreciate the fact that smart people do the dumb things under the guise that being smart, means that dumb people won't notice.

Obsession

People who are obsessed with stuff and outward appearance, neglect to realize that NEW shoes have never been any place of consequence. It's the feet in them that tell the tale of the journey

Ignorance

If you allow someone with an inferior intellect to spew their superior ignorance in your personal space, you usually end up inhaling their ignorance germ. This can then develop into a foolishness infection that most definitely ends up affecting your thinking organs.

Integrity

When everyone around you has none, integrity always comes with a high price. The orphanage of good character if filled with the unadopted children of high moral standards.

Faith Test

A true test of faith is when you yell, "charge" and go cruising down the hill at full gallop to engage the enemy not once looking over your shoulder to see if your posse is behind you. If you feel you have to look, time to change friends.

Winning

It's not the person who prepares the hardest that wins the race. In fact working hard is by no means a guarantee of success. It's the unmitigated desire to be on the winners podium that drives countless losses into obscurity. For how else can you explain training all your life, to win a championship once? It's the burning fire of winning, that is remembered forever.

Forgiveness

The stitches of forgiveness will always leave the scar of injury. Only a person who has been placed in a position to forgive the unforgivable, understands true forgiveness.

Fight for your life

It's not possession of a weapon that makes a person dangerous. Many people have weapons. It's that innate ability to use it with deadly effectiveness that distinguishes harmful, from harmless. Ignite your fire!
