Road Signs

..: When you drive around, watchout for all the road signs. For who knows, your life might even be saved by attending them. In life one must pay attention to the signs and words when they come around for we know not, what's just around the corner/curve. It's better to listen and readjust what needs to be readjust rather than to ignore things. When we ignore them, we are just giving them time to come back and attack. And when they do, they'll bring greater ruin:..

-The Road Less Traveled-

‎..:Having the keys to the gate, But too lazy to go and open it, Will deff not get me in.
Having the greatest car, But no gas,
Will deff take me nowhere.
Having the right ideas, But wrong motives,
Will means am false.
Knowing what I gotta do, But procrastinate,
Will reveal who I really am.
Knowing I gotta change my mind and thoughts,
But keep feeding my mind with the wrong info and hanging out with the wrong crew,
Will describe me as a fool.

Taking a moment for myself and truly ask myself
"Should I continue this way?'
Would mean am starting to see something wrong with me and this crew.

Starting to be true to myself and
Isolating myself,
Walking away from the wolves, wrong crews,
And making the changes need it,
Will describe me as a fool.
A different kind of fool.

A fool that,
With time, discipline, commitment, perseverance, integrity, And passion,
Will become a successful fool.
A one of kind fool.

But it all starts by taking a moment and really ask myself
Whether I wanna continue to walk on the path everybody is walking on,
Or do I dare to take the road less traveled?:..

-Message to the conscience-

..:In the midst of war.
Many running, trying to get out of
Enemy's zone.
Most die; few get injured.
One lost his legs.
The ones injured gave up and said:
"This is it, we done."
The one with no legs,
Never gave up.
Wounded and bleeding,
He entered safe zone
By crawling in.
Determination and the desire
To live and succeed,
That's what got him in.
Now, I wonder,
How desperately and deeply
We truly wanna succed?
What would it take for us to
Crawl our way in?
Our way in into victory:..

How We Respond.

‎..:Driving a standard car for the very first time, is exciting.
Infact, Driving a car for the very first time is exciting over all.
But, following instructions is another thing.
Specially if you are the kind of person that tends to think you know it all.
And if the instructor is the kind of person that is of short temper, it makes the day for both of you.
Thing is, a situation like this can keep you away from keep trying and learning for so long or it can force you to be coachable and submissive.
We find such scenario in our daily day life.
Circumstaces and people can keep us from trying and trying 'til we reach our goals, or they could just easily affect the way we think and can paralize us for a very very long time.
If we respond to circumstances right and are determine to learn in life as we learn to drive a car, then we'll be capable of doing anything we put/set our minds into. We'll then be "Powerful beings beyond measure.":..

It's Better The 100%

..:Sometimes we have gotten a gallon of orange juice that was label to be 100% orange juice when in reality it was 50% water and 50% orange juice. We sometimes tend to believe what the label says because of the brand.
We, being used to such belief are used to that orange juice that we tend to like it and buy it constantly.
Sadly but true, when we get the opportunity to trully experience and taste an 100% orange juice, we find its taste bit weird and funny. To the point that we go back to our #1 orange juice. (the one we constantly buy)
Leaving the extraordinary for the good.
Same is in life. We are so used to our little yet so dangerous patterns in life that we dare not to step out of our comfortable zone and try something new. We dare not to leave the ordinary for the extraordinary. The good for the best and so for. It's time my friends to start chaging our minds and start taking risks if we truly want a better successful life. Believe not those who say it can't be done. Chances are, they have never try it before. And guess what, because they haven't try it before and never seen it happen, they don't want you to at least try. They are afraid that if you try and succeed, you might end up leaving them behind. Change your mind and dare to come out of those little, yet, dangerous patterns that are keeping you still and killing you little by little. I believe in you. Most importatly, God believes in you. Have a great day my friend:..

Want it? Grab It...

..:Staring at an orange tree when you so desperately desire a taste of orange juice is quite an scenario… You won't get to fulfill your desire just by staring at the oranges. You have to reach those oranges and put some work in order to enjoy the sweet orange juice… SO is in life, in order to reach and fulfill your dreams and goals, you have to put in the work… You have to be willing to go and get what's yours and/or what you really want in life… If you don't, don't complaint when others come and just take it away before your very own eyes...
"The more you think about something, the less you'll do it"… Rember, the effort you put in into something, that's the result you'll get:..

Way Of Living

The hardest way of living, is living in deep regret.
Is living without forgiving.
Living being ignorant.
There's no greatest sin than living in darkness
And ignoring
The greatest treasures hidden all around us.
Some have gone before us
Leaving behind revealed wisdom.
Some have gone unnoticed.
"Wisdom is the greatest virtue" along
With gratitude and Humility.
The moment we stop learnig,
We have stopped living.
We decide if we are to live or die.

The Process

‎..:The quality of each person's work, character, integrity, principles and values will be revealed in time as it is tested by fire…
As gold and silver, we are to be processed in each area of our lives. We are to go through the university of life where bribe can't get you to the next level. Where a donation here and there won't open doors for you nor will it lay a red carpet before you to enter into the next door of oportunity, the next job, the next land of blessings.
We all are to go through the process. For Is there where one is truly made. Is there where we discover our own unique potential. Is there where we discover the greatness within ourselves.
Is there that we truly grow.
For if we are not to be process, "our attitude will take us to places where our character and integrity won't be able to keep us."
The Process is need it… Don't run from it.
Instead, run towards it... Embrace it… And learn from it:..

Enduring...

‎..:"Pain is temporary" says 'ma boy Eric Thomas.
And indeed he is right. "Pain is temporary" and so do the cold suffering and dark seasons in life. But we must remember that is in seasons of suffering and pain that we develop endurance. Endurance that shapes our character, our faith, patience, integrity and hope. We must never ever give up. We must embrace such process for at the end, it'll all be worth it… Repositon yourself and renew your minds while at it. For what you think and expect, it'll eventually come to past… Have a bless day:..
