Invest In Yourself!

1. Show me your circle of friends and I'll show you your future.


2. Don't let you be the reason you don't succeed or hit your goal.


3. Don't worry if people don't like you, most people are struggling to like themselves.


4. Don't like the chapter you're in, write a new one.  You're the author of your life.


5. Maturity is learning to walk away from people and situations that threaten your peace of mind, self respect, values morals, or self worth.


Many people will make excuses versus investing in themselves.  $20 is not an unreasonable amount of money to invest in you.  Make sure you put yourself first and figure out what your passion is and go for it.  Don't be afraid to leap....

Life's Journey

It's interesting the twists, turns and curve balls that life will throw at you that are simply beyond your control.  I am learning how to remain humble and not seek revenge against those who attack me and try to cut me deep.  The saying misery loves company is very true.  I am highly disappointed at the negative and cheap shots that people take at others.  The pure evil motives that people have as it pertains to another human being is sickening.  It's not easy taking the high road and not stooping to the level of someone else's pettiness.  I guess the saying is true when a person has nothing to lose that person will try to cost you everything you have worked hard to accomplish. I want to encourage you not to be discouraged because affliction is only temporary....

Darren Seals

Although I didn't know Darren Seals personally we stand/stood for the same cause. We are fighting the same fight but from two different angles. He was an civil rights activist in Ferguson, MO who found his God given purpose and pursued it with passion 100%.  Bruce Franks, Jr. is another person who is walking in his purpose and redefining what community is and means to those in the 78th district.  My prayers and condolences go out to the Seals family during this tragedy of losing someone who meant so much to so many.  Everyone should have access to equal opportunity and equal justice in America; however, we know the reality of this isn't true.  St. Louis have had 6 deaths in the past 2 years the same way that Darren Seals died.  He was shot in the head and burned up inside of his car.  This was done by a cold hearted killer who had no regard for human life.  It's sad that we still live in a climate where our voices are being suppressed, our right to vote is being suppressed and that we are still having to demand respect and for people to be held accountable for their wrong doing.  Turn your pain into your passion and learn to walk into your purpose.
