Greatness, Stone Henge

“Attract greatness”

Change your thoughts and the way you think because it has a profound influence on the way you live your life. The universe attracts what you put out, so if you want love but think about hurt, you’ll get hurt and blame it on love. Your reality is a result of what your thoughts and actions have attracted. Everything and everybody in your life is there because of who you are. If you don’t feed yourself the right things you’re only hurting yourself and making room for more of the wrong.  Everything is not a coincidence; certain things have to knock you out because pain is the only thing that will wake you up. What has you so scared to the point where you feel you need to act so hard? Put your guard down and pull your faith up. Stop hating the misery of your past and fall in love with the possibilities of your future. Put yourself around people who people who are successful and watch it manifest in your life. Most get annoyed when you’re “in your zone” because they’re unable to understand where you're at mentally. Stop running from you and start living for you. Go through your fears and gain courage from them. Allow your thoughts and actions to work for you and release all doubt because it will only work against you. Feed yourself greatness and that’s exactly what you will put out.

Deep thoughts....

“Pain Lesson”

Whether you care to admit it or not you’ve hurt somebody in your lifetime. Regardless of whether it was done intentionally or not, you’ve done it. We all have and it doesn’t make us any less human, just makes us much more connected. Few realize just how much pain ties us together. We can all identify with loneliness, disappointment, frustration, and anger because we group those experiences together. But none of us will grow as we should until we learn the lessons in pain. We have to learn the good in pain and realize that it gives us a different perspective of time. It gives us the time to realize certain things about ourselves. It allows us the time to be smarter and the time to move forward. It provides us the time to seek wisdom and consider some much needed advice. But perhaps what pain gives us more than anything else is the strength to be a fighter. We can’t ever be so engulfed in our pain that we forget to be understanding, forgiving, and compassionate. You’re not the only one who’s ever been hurt; stop being fearless with life but being a coward with your heart. There are things you’ll tolerate and things you will not, but don’t blame somebody for crossing the line when you failed to set the boundaries. We base our assumptions for everybody else on our expectations of ourselves. So if you have trust issues make sure you’re the kind of individual who is trustworthy. If you don’t articulate how you feel you’re either too hurt to speak or too selfish to talk, and most times it’s not because you’re too hurt. Pain can either promote you or postpone you; I suggest you learn the good in it so it can open up the best in you.

Think Outside the Box...

 

Think Outside the Box for the "Dream Killers”

There’s no need to look for approval in everything you do. Your willingness to change, grow, and live abundantly will not always be willingly accepted by those with narrow minds. Don’t expect the people who aren’t growing to recognize your growth. They’ll notice your change solely because it’s a painful reminder that they chose to remain the same. You don’t need anybody outside of yourself to believe in your dreams in order for them to come true. Don’t stop going where you’re going in life just because people are stuck at where you were in life. They’re so busy judging you that they’ve forgotten that they need to be living too. Opinions are optional, so if it isn’t positive reinforcement or constructive criticism, I don’t care to hear it. My mindset remains that every opinion of me won’t be included in my definition of me. You may doubt many things in life but don’t ever let somebody’s lack of faith make you doubt your dreams. Be confident in what you know is best for you. Dreaming is the first step towards destiny, so if you’re headed out on a journey don’t waste time consulting with people who have never left home. Dream killers believe that they can’t start until they know; but dream livers understand that you won’t know until you start! Be smart, be faithful, and be prepared; power your dreams beyond those powerless beings who doubt you.

Japanese Chicken, Shrimp & Steak

Me & my friend tried this Japenese place over on Hillborough road the other day & i have to say it was delicious. This is my dish, the teriyaki chicken, shrimp & steak. I have a huge taste for the ginger sauce & the red pepper sauce as well for some reason.

Highway of Life

 

New Beginnings

Don’t ever take experiences for granted. The things you learn from temporary pain can lead to long term happiness. When it comes to moving on and starting over most people make the mistake of learning what to avoid, instead of what to look for. If the past still hurts, it’s because you haven’t gained what you needed to know in order to move forward.  Don’t just learn lessons for the sake of appearing smart; be wise and actually apply them to your life. Stop being so afraid to start over. A new beginning is a blessing few people get to receive. You’ll keep making the same mistakes over and over again if you choose to get bitter instead of better. Move your mind to a better place. There’s no point in stepping out on faith if you’ve built your thoughts on quicksand. Time is the most valuable thing you can spend. Don’t waste yours kicking your burdens when you could be counting your blessings. New beginnings are only difficult when they occur without action. Fresh starts may be a challenge but you’re not starting out as a rookie, you’re starting over as a veteran.  You’re starting over wiser, stronger and more prepared through experience. Don’t let your fear conqueror your faith, remember that all good things must end in order for great things to begin.

Dream

Dream Somebody

You ever had somebody special in your life
They didn’t have to tell you they were special you just knew
It was just something about them that you couldn’t put your finger on
But that something had you thinking about them all the time
That something had you hanging up the phone smiling for no reason
It had you in class daydreaming about skipping with them
That something made every slow song on the radio remind you of them
It had you replaying old conversations in your mind and laughing at the same things all over again
That somebody who made you stare at the nights sky and make the stars spell their name
The person you didn’t mind sitting on the phone with all night talking about nothing
The somebody that would kiss you with morning breath, then tell you to go brush your teeth
The person that wouldn’t just tell you what they thought you wanted to hear
Somebody who actually took the time to show they cared
Someone who loved your flaws and accepted them as being apart of you
That person who knew just how to piss you off and was smart enough to stop before it got there
The type of person that took pride in making you happy
That someone that had been hurt before just like you
That had been unappreciated and taken for granted just like you
That gave their all and got nothing just like you
The somebody who could make you laugh till your stomach and cheeks hurt
You know that somebody with that contagious smile and those heart melting hugs
The type of person who would kiss the tears away, because they felt wiping was too rough
The somebody who believed in your smallest dreams
That person who could call you from a thousand different numbers but you still recognize their voice
You know the person who you held hands with in the movies just to feel closer
You know…
Well maybe you don’t…
At least not like i do...

Memories of her...

The perfect mistakes

Sometimes we make mistakes. We hurt people, we lie, and we fail, it’s the reality of life. We’re human, our intentions are perfect but our actions will never be. Don’t limit yourself just because people place limitations on you. Aspire to be better and strive for excellence because it will motivate you; don’t strive for perfection, it will only discourage you. Don’t be afraid to be criticized, the only way to avoid criticism is to do nothing, and thats not an option. Greatness is achieved when ordinary people desire to do extraordinary things. Fix your eyes on virtues such as peace of mind, joy, and love. Seek greatness, not perfection, seek happiness, not approval, people will bask in your failures until you show them they’ve pushed you to your success. A hater is nothing more than a pessimistic admirer; only a diamond can scratch a diamond, so even when those doubters throw stones they still can’t phase you. Enjoy your mistakes and embrace your flaws, give up on being perfect and begin working on becoming yourself. Greatness isn’t in perfection, it’s in originality and that comes with a few mistakes along your journey.
