No One Can Ruin Your Day Without Your Permission.

This statement is absolutely true because we make our own decisions and choices as distinct individuals. Allowing someone else to ruin your day is simply allowing someone else to live your life. All to often does this happen because we allow others negative energy to influence how we go about our every day lives. For example...

It's a bright sunny Monday morning and things are going right as I'm on my way to work. I'm excited because i know it's a short work week and i know i have some great events planned for the weekend. Well, I get to work and my boss is on a complete rampage because she had a terrible weekend. So she is defensively trying to rain on everyone Else's parade because she isn't happy. Therefore she comes down on me because she notices I'm in high spirits and of course Misery Loves Company. So working an 8-hour shift with her she finds every way possible to aggravate and annoy me causing me to have a massive headache. However i take a minute to realize that this is her headache not mines; somehow it just got passed on to me through her personal animosity. So on my 30 minute break i take a Tylenol listen to my Biggie Smalls on my Ipod and Take It Easy. Afterwards I Return back to her and she is still extremely moody but after listening to "Juicy" there isn't a thing that can bother me. In Conclusion the day ended and eventually so did the week with many possible reasons for me to into an uproar but i held my composure and kept my cool because No One Can Ruin Your Day Without Your Permission.


Success Stops When You Stop.

I agree with this to an extent because i believe Success isn't a destination; it's a journey. So if i stop it's because I've given up or because I've settled. However to be successful it requires work, work and more work. People cant just get handed a successful job or successful position without any work being put forth. Those people who somehow work around this, lack enthusiasm and ambition and don't seem to have a strong desire for success. Personally I want to strive to be the best, meaning i don't want to accomplish one or two things; i want to accomplish it all. And doing so that requires discipline, hard work, and effort. For Example:

In Football You Have your Offensive Positions and your defensive positions. Offensive being Quarterback, Center, Tight End, Wide Receiver, Fullback, Half Back, Offensive Tackle & Guard. Defensive being Safety, Linebacker, Corner back, Nose Tackle, Defensive Back & Tackle. Well I Play Defensive back and generally my duty is to try to keep receivers from making catches. However if i woke up tomorrow and decided i wanted to become a Offensive Tight End there would be numerous of transitions I'd have to make to master the position. I'd have to Become an excellent blocker, learn how to maintain a balances weight, Learn the linebacker position as well as many other task. But in doing so I'd be able to say i can play two positions rather then one and I'm Successful in both positions. However if i decided i didn't feel like doing it anymore and threw in the towel i wouldn't be able to say so because Success Stops When You Stop.

I thought I would feel sorry for the children at the children home (orphanage) but surprisingly I don't. I planned on coming to Ghana and becoming emotionally unbalanced due to their situations, but surprisingly I'm not. I thought without a doubt I would lose sleep at night thinking about the children's stories but I didn't. All the expectations I came to Ghana with were proven wrong because I judged a book by it's cover. I assumed these children would be living in the worst condition imaginable. It wasn't that bad. It's funny because my initial plan was to make a difference in the children's lives. Little did I know they would be the ones making a difference in mine... A very special boy by the name of Anuk was pretty shy towards me the first few days, but by beach day he had completely warmed up to me. Anuk-- autistic, is the smartest and happiest boy I was fortunate enough to have met during my time at the children's home. Not

Long Bus Ride Home

The world is controlled by two forces. The highest of the two being a positive energy of GOD, Compassion, and LOVE. The other being the complete opposite; utterly evil, destructive and hateful, better known as The Devil. I grew up being extremely familiar with the opposing side due to my elementary school fame... I can remember countless times where I was the cause of someone crying at recess because I excluded them from whatever girl group, club or gang my friends and I had formed at lunch earlier that day. The Spice Girls were usually who we strolled around Recess pretending to be. But looking back I realize we were more like Destiny's Child due to the fact the revolving door was always open. I was Beyonce though, so I did the kicking out and the replacing. Always. I was one of three black girls in my entire school so I was different and people admired that. Innocent souls admire the significant things in life. Unfortunately back then I let the hype go to my head and an EGO was f

Custody Battle.

Lately my life has been lacking a sense of rejuvenation. I experience some days that are productive and others not so much. I'm constantly trying to work towards living the life I want to live instead of being satisfied with the life I'm living. It's almost as if nothing is ever enough. I'm pretty sure as a child life never seemed this complex . I can refer to a book I'm currently reading titled " Men, Money and Chocolate " to support my claim: "We're born with hearts that hold onto our dreams, keeping them safe from our negative rational minds. As children we follow our hearts all day long; we live according to our instincts and intuitions. But one day we stop listening to our hearts and start listening to the thoughts in our heads instead".  My life made so much more sense the short 2 weeks I was in Ghana. Like WOW. I had never felt so connected to my life in the 23 years I've lived it. My entire thought process converted over
