Quote of The Week

17 Dec

Happy Monday!

Remember: Never let anyone step into your zone. Meaning, there is no reason that anyone should knock you for the things you do. The same goes for you. You never want to judge someone when at times,  have no idea what that person may be going through. NO ONE but you knows your life’s story, no matter how long they’ve known you for. No one thinks like you, dreams or lives life like you. Never let anyone step in and deter you from you being you!

Happy Monday!

Sometimes, you really don’t realize the greatness that is in you. We were all born with some sort of gift that is able to reach the masses and change the world. Take Anne Frank for example. Who knew that the wisdom of this 14 year-old would create an classic piece of literature and open the hearts and minds of millions around the world. What’s sad is that she didn’t even live to see it….or maybe that’s the way it was intended to be? Find that  ‘thing’ that you were put on this earth to do. You never know where it might take you. But more importantly, you never know how many lives it can change!

Happy Monday!!

I know this a toughie…I myself have a hard time admitting when I ‘m wrong. However, by holding yourself back from responsibility for your actions, you can’t move forward. Sometimes, we need to check ourselves when we stumble off (or in other words…eff up).

The universe (or whatever it is out there) will only give you what you give them. Take some time and look at yourself in the mirror and start admitting to the wrongs you’ve made. We ALL have done things and maybe said things we aren’t proud of. But no one is responsible for that but YOU!!

Start being accountable for your actions. If you cant face yourself with them, you can face anybody!

Happy Monday!

Always remember:

Take it easy! Obstacles always seem to occur right when your on the verge of success. That’s suppose to happen. You didn’t expect to reach your goals THAT easily…did you? Stay focus and never lose sight of the greatness that you know to deserve. There is a light at the end of the tunnel…but of course, you have to that darkness to see it!

Need some excitement in your life? Try following this message from Ms. Winfrey! Go on a mission conquering your dreams. You’ll learn through the successes, the failures, and most importantly, the successes! Succeeding will always outweigh the failures anyway…

Happy Monday!

Remember: Never try to live for other people. That would just kill your spirit. The whole purpose of living is to indulge into the life that the universe has created for you. Be yourself, live for you and your legacy would do the rest!

JAY-Z said it best:  “remind yourself, nobody’s built like you, you design yourself…”

If you didn’t know, I am a sucker for underground music! I always find some great gems…this dude is incredibly talented!

This song just puts a HUGE smile on my face! Every lyric, the beat…just flows perfectly. It’s so uplifting and inspiring. For all those dream chasers out there, this song might be for you!

Voli is a rapper/producer/musician from New Jersey. A part of J.Cole’s protege’, I started following this dude’s music (here) for a little over a year now. However, Sunrise and The Righteous Remain have been my favorites:

Happy Monday!

The people who are mean, miserable, bitter,or hurt are just that….hurt. When someone in pain throws some of it towards you, send back LOVE. The worst thing you can do to someone in pain is give them more burdens to carry. Always show love to everyone, but add that and a smile to the painful…they need it the most!

Small Steppin’

We all have dreams,goals, and/or visions for our lives…right? However, why does it seem that only a small number of us actually take action to achieve them? We are so quick to call those people “lucky” or “gifted”.  Think about it…If we all have dreams and such for our lives, then wouldn’t that mean we were all gifted or implanted with something special?

I think of it like this: if I want my dreams to come into fruition,  I have to work hard. I also have to believe in myself and not care about what people think or say…and I really do feel this way!

Now, for those people who don’t have those feelings, I want you to know how important it is to dream BIG. We were all placed on this earth for something special. You might not know what it is yet, but take some time to discover what it is. Once you do, it is time to start making small steps to achieve your goals.

For example, let’s say you discovered a passion for cooking.  Now, you want to take your skills to another level with dreams of becoming a chef. Instead of thinking about becoming the chef, you should only focus on the small steps first. Take some cooking classes, start a food blog, find inspiration from professional chefs, etc.

Remember, it’s not about the destination, but the journey it takes to get there.  For me, there is nothing more exciting than a challenge.

When it comes to reaching the stars and beyond, it’s the setbacks and speed bumps that really advance you as a person. At the end of the day, we ALL have a purpose in this life. Make the small steps to achieve them. No one said that you get there fast and furiously. However, small adjustments can make for HUGE opportunities!

Happy Monday!

Always remember, when you lend a negative opinion of others, it says more about you as a person then the one your spitting fire towards. Aim your energy wisely!

Have a great week!
