KEEP MY NAME IN YOUR MOUTH!

I'm not worried about you talking about me. My father once told me, "Never let anyone live rent-free in your mind!" So everytime you got something to say about me. I'm not this or I haven't done that - I want you to know two things:

#1: I get closer to my goals every single day while you go nowhere!
#2: As long as my name is in your mouth I occupy prime real estate in your feeble mind!

"How can you expect to do great things for GOD, when you can't provide the basics for yourself? Stop using GOD as excuse for underachieving in your life. Get yourself together first, so you can be an EXAMPLE by words and deeds. You can't feed the poor from an empty basket."

~ Kareemah El-Amin

Got haters in your life?

"Arise, shine; for thy light is come, & the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, & gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee & His glory shall be seen upon thee." ~ Isaiah 60:1&2

Never allow the haters in your life to throw shade on your shine!

"Movie actors are for the most part UNEMPLOYED throughout the the majority of any given year. Some make maybe one movie every year or so - two or even three if they happen to be hot right now. They work 1 to 3 jobs a year, yet achieve wealth. The lesson to be learned: It is not how much work you do, but how well you do your work that determines your success." ~ HSRjr.

Someone recently asked me what is MY definition of a mistake. My answer: To me ... a mistake is an act made out of either ignorance or arrogance. Regardless of which, there bears a lesson to be learned in order to make us better people provided we're willing to humble ourselves enough to learn the lesson.

"Division leads to fractions – a part of a whole. Stop letting the social engineers divide us by refusing to be fractional. God created us with all we need to be complete - as a whole. Red and blue has divided the men in our communities; race divides the world community; and religion divides our spiritual community. We are one ... Own it!" ~ Omari Bakari

"Do you share your money with just anybody? Dreams are the seeds in the soil of your soul from which riches blossom. Just as you are sure to hold onto your money, do not share your dreams with just anyone. Just as not everyone is deserving of your money, your dreams are not worthy to be shared with just anyone. Share your dreams just as you might invest your money - wherever you will get the best return." ~ HSRjr.

"If you are the one to whom you hold yourself accountable in everything that you do, & you can account for every hour of your day and every word you say, then you are among the select few who actually are in control of their lives. Either you make your place in the world or the world makes a place for you. " ~ HSRjr.
