SO I CAN LOVE YOU"THAT MAN is a success who loves life and lives it to the fullest. Who has discovered and shared the strengths and talents that are uniquely his own. Who puts his best into each task and leaves each situation better than he found it, who seeks and finds that which is beautiful in all people and all things, whose heart is full of love and warm with compassion, who has found joy in living and peace within himself..." -unknown
TAKE THESE WORDS AND SHOVE EM INTO YOUR HEART:"FOR ALL Y..ALL LIVIN IN A RUSH, - SLOW IT DOWN JUST A NOTCH BABY, ITS GON BE ARIGHT, ITS GONNA BE ARIGHT..."
OUTLAWZ/2PACPLEASE HOLD ON TO YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR AND TRY A LIL INNOCENSE...
BE THE INDIVIDUAL YOU WERE BORN TO BE; KEEP IT SIMPLE.
THERE ARE THOSE WHO FOLLOW A PATH, AND THERE ARE THOSE WHO MAKE THEIR OWN PATH...Knowing other people is intelligence
Knowing yourself is wisdom
Overcoming others is strength
Overcoming yourself takes greatness"Love says: ..I am everything... Wisdom says: ..I am nothing...
Between the two my life flows..."XOXOXO
BESOS"Spirit of Marcus Garvey, Farad Mohammed, Medgar Evers and Bob Marley, I..m GodBodi. The Scripture says Allah..s inside me- Show love, I was hugged by the arms of Ghandi-gave me my strength. You can tell somebody raised me with sense, we all need somethin to help us with our daily events- bear with me..." - AZ, "I..m Back"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. you name them - work, family, health, friends and spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life."-(unknown)
People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and frankness may make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.The biggest person with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest person with the smallest mind. Think big anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People really need help but may attack if you help them. Help people anyway. Give the world the best you have and you might get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you've got anyway.
