Make sure the circle you’re in is growing with you and not trying to close on you. Most people can’t get ahead because they’re holding on to people who lack ambition. You’ll never reach the mountain top if you have to carry everybody on your back. Have people in your life that can inspire you but still know how to motivate their self. If you’re trying to go places in life you, you need people around you who have actually been somewhere. It’ll be hard to follow a dream if all you have is closed minds in your circle, what you recognize as real, they see as impossible. Some people you’ll just have to be cool with from a distance. You don’t need certain people in your everyday life. Not everybody will understand what you want to do and where you’re trying to go, and if you’re not careful you’ll get distracted. My mindset is this: You can’t antagonize me and influence me at the same time. So if you’re not concerned with helping me, I’m not concerned with you judging me. Don’t get discouraged thinking that things will never work out; things begin to work out once you start to put work in. Show me a problem and I’ll show you a promise. There is no trial too big for you to triumph. Understand that delayed does not mean denied. When the timing is right, what you want will coincide with what you need. Just make sure your circle isn’t in the way of that.

If you’re looking for a convenient love; it doesn’t exist. Real love comes with terms and conditions that you’re going to have to up-hold. It’s going to ask you to step out of your comfort zone, to sacrifice, and to compromise. If you can’t agree to those; love won’t agree with you. Ask yourself what it is you really want; do you want convenience or happiness? A hurt woman will recognize a good man but won’t know how to accept him if she’s allowed her pain to divide her. A scared man will easily miss a good woman because he knows what to run from, not what to look for. We all have this warped perception of who we’re supposed to be with. We try to find our partners based off of our past mistakes instead of the Universe's direction, and that’s why we’re lost. Don’t ever confuse being different with being better. Every person you have a connection with won’t be the person you’re supposed to have a relationship with. Everybody isn’t meant to last a full season in your life. Some people are just a sign that there’s still a chance for those romantics the world calls hopeless. Don’t be fooled into thinking you can make love appear and disappear when it benefits you. Love doesn’t happen on your time, it happens at the right time; and only the Universe determines that.
