I was raised to be CURTEOUS to all others! My 1st lesson as a child was to treat others as I CARE to be treated. And I have stood by it for 22 years come May 07. I was also raised to TRUST IN GOD! BE HONEST to LIFE, LOVE, & HAPPINESS! To STAND UP FOR MYSELF! To BELIEVE IN MYSELF! To always..always BE A SURVIVER! And to HELP those in need...if they have the WILL to help themselves. I've made alot of mistakes...but I bet you have too. I have fixed em the best I could, & I set myself some GOALS. So currently I'm just trying to ACHIEVE em. Life is full of problems, as I am far from nieve, & I will never..ever be jaded. When problems arise they get handeled. Properly. Cuz if not they will freakin haunt you. I found this out the hard way. No-one stands in the way of my life. No-one. I have no toleration for drama. So don't waste my time. b/c I will make it WORTH my time. Don't mistake it for a threat. It's a PROMISE. I have no need for threats in my life. I stand my grounds.If u hold that against me then u should WELCOME some crucial ADVICE... KNOW WHO YOU ARE & what you want!!! PRAISE yourself for SUCCESS. Have SELF-DISCIPLINE for mistakes. NO-ONE IS PERFECT! **EXPECT...AND EXCEPT FAILURE.** Make the changes. *Don't settle for 2nd best. You are WORTH so much more.* NO-ONE IS EVER BETTER THAN YOU. And your not better than them. Don't be cocky, you are embarrising yourself. TEMPTATION is ROUGH!!...It's the devil's weapon. Find the STRENGH in yourself to BE STRONGER THAN THAT. Cuz it's there, it's always there. This one of my weaknesses. I FIGHT on a daily basis, in this day & time, for this one. DO THINGS YOUR WAY..within reason. & BE ORIGINAL!!!Your friends should benifit you. Not change you for the worse.Life is a challenge. "When it spins, when it whirls, when it twirls..." - Eminem. Life is twisted. OVERCOME OR BE OVERCOME. REMEMBER that.KARMA is as close to REALITY as it gets. PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH, & PREACH WHAT U PRACTICE. It will make the world a BETTER place. Give others the same RESPECT you recieve. KARMA IS FULTILE. It will make you or freaking break you. I PROMISE u that. We reep what we sew. Indeed a lesson learned.SUCCESS isn't a gift. It's KARMA'S reward. You gotta want it first. Remember that.TRUST in God & never doubt His LOVE. If you are lost...DON'T GIVE UP ON HIM...He will NEVER GIVE UP on you! . And BELIEVING..& how you serve Him is YOUR CHOICE! Pray in the sunlight or under the stars. It's ENLIGHTENING!"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment."
