Small footsteps to a larger Purpose

Photobucket
It is of my own volition that I've made it thus far in my life. Alongside the guidance of God and my peers. Can't forget about my family members. I have strong resolve and wish to further my growth as I embark on my own into the real world.

I've just been thinking a lot lately. I just registered for classes in the Spring of 2010. Graduation is just beyond the horizon now. I've made it this far...the rest is up to me.

Just need to remember who I am and what I came to school for. School isn't even the problem. I've just gained a new asset in my arsenal, but in doing so I feel as if I've lost a part of myself as well. Equivalent Exchange perhaps?...If you believe in that.

The way I act now will determine how I will be for the rest of my life...poor choices lead to poor habits that die hard. Just gotta take small footsteps to a larger purpose.

What doesn't kill you makes you Stronger

Photobucket
Lately...*sigh*...its been one of those down trotted ominous cloud hanging overhead type of days.
Just been feeling down. And when you try to get back up thats when the relentless onslaught of negativity begins to really let you have it...but like the wonderful poet Maya Angelou "Still I Rise"...

I could sit here all day and talk about my problems but then where would I be? Probably feeling worse and making no progress. So instead I'm going to look at this as something that I must go through.

I like to believe that everything happens for a reason. And God breaks us down to our lowest to build us back up again anew. Stronger, Faster, Harder, & Stronger then ever before.

So in the motto of yours truly, "What doesn't kill you makes you Stronger"

Through my EyEz

This past weekend had some ups and downs but through it all I learned from these experiences and thats half the battle.

Photobucket
Got to spend time with my friends and family and that was good. It was homecoming weekend and for college kids thats a time to let loose and have fun.

Got to do a lot and meet new people and stepped out of my comfort zone and was able to recap how much I had grown in just a years time.

Time goes by fast and before you know it your looking back on your life saying "where has all the time gone?"

"Through my EyEz the mixtape by Steve Omari will be dropping soon!!!!! Be on the look out. You can catch my music here www.myspace.com/steveo409

busy, Busy, BUSY!!!

Photobucket
So things are starting to finally get back to "normal"...whatever that means lol

On the real I've been battling with some demons the past month. Felt like I was at my lowest but this girl suggested some scriptures to read from The Good Book and that seemed to help put things in perspective for me.

Learned a lot and I've grown from the experiences I've gone through and I'm going to learn a lot more as time goes on.

Homecoming is coming up and its going to be all the way live. I just plan to get on ALL my homework. Get it done early that way I can enjoy Homecoming and just relax.

So let me get off of here and get to working on this stuff now lol

God Bless & One Love

Signs

Photobucket
People go through life trying to figure out their purpose.

I'm a firm believer that we were all created for a reason. It is up to the individual to find out what the reason is.

Some are here for but a short time and a few longer then others. Then there are the in between, but whatever amount of time we are offered here we should take advantage of the resources given to us (no matter how small or great).

Lately I've felt like God has been trying to tell me something. Send me signs that it is not to late. Being in my funk that I've recently tried to come out of I've noticed things that could be interpreted as the lord trying to show me a sign.

Only time will tell but I'm trying to become a better me. Perhaps I haven't tried hard enough and thats what he's trying to tell me. Whatever the case I'm the only one that can figure it out. I'm a man that chooses my own destiny. If the world deals me a hand I don't like I'm not going to settle for it. No matter what someone tells me I'm going to keep trying until I get the answer I want to hear!

Looking Towards a Better Tomorrow

You ever get that feeling that your not where you want to be in life?...

I can admit I feel this way at times.

Lately I've just been thinking a lot. My mind has been thinking about so much that I've done in the or have yet to do. I'm thankful to be here.

I've got a good opportunity here. Just gotta make the most of life.

Locating Your Inner Chi Lesson 1. Positive Energy

Photobucket
(Kanji for Chi)

In my last blog post I talked about how we all are susceptible to anger. After all its an emotion like any other that we all have experienced and can either conquer it or allow it to swallow us whole.

Today I wanted to talk about positive energy. Lets refer to it as chi. I'm not going to talk about flying or shooting energy beams from your palm, but instead talk about how having a positive attitude can negate the negativity in your life.

For instance. Below is a picture of two people. One is still standing on their feet. That is the subject that is harmonious with their inner chi. The positive energy that I spoke about earlier. The subject being flipped on their back in a spinning motion is the one in tuned with their negative chi. This is the physical form of what you may refer to as a hater. Everyone has a few of those.
Photobucket
Now in some martial arts they teach a person not how to transform themselves into powerful weapons, but to instead use the powerful force of their enemies against them. This is what the picture depicts. The embodiment of the average person who is likable by most others is the one standing and the hater is left on the floor. No doubt trying to be messy or start some type of confrontation. Instead of the positive person letting it get to them they used the haters on hatred against him.
Photobucket
Thats all I have for today. Remember to stay positive in all situations. This is easier said then done, but by staying true to yourself and not giving in to a haters hatred you become more powerful then you can realize. Haters can't stand it when they don't get the reaction out of you that they wanted.

Till next time.

SIANARA!!!

Sometimes you just feel Angry

Photobucket
Anyone that knows me will tell you that 9 times out of 10 I'm a calm, cool, and collected person. But once out of those ten times I can get angry just like everyone else. After all I'm human. Can you blame me?

Lately I've just been angry for no reason. Its like the people that care about me most I pull away from them and I drift further and further away. Its like after all these years all the regressed feelings that I've bottled up, which people say not to do, pops open for a little bit and a little steam comes out all at once and I can't control it.

Its like in my head I'm saying, "Why are you doing this? You know you don't mean what you just said, or you know you don't really feel that way," and so on and so forth. I apologize in advance if your reading this and I've offended you in any way in the past few days.

Sometimes I think about just leaving and falling off the map loosing all connections with everyone I know and cutting off all the ties to the ones I love and just drift away to do my own thing. One less thing for them to worry about. Growing up I always felt like I was somehow less of a person then those around me. The big kid that was misunderstood. People don't know what that feels like. They "think" that they do but unless you've actually undergone something that someone else has experienced there is NO WAY IN THE WORLD THAT YOU CAN RELATE TO THEM 100%.

Anyways...writing is therapeutic for me so thats what I'm doing. My chicken soup for the soul.

Be Like Water My Friend

"Be formless... shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle; it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot; it becomes the teapot. Water can flow, and it can crash. Be like water, my friend" ...Bruce Lee

Photobucket
My life right now has been Topsy turvy. Many ups, downs, smiles, & .frowns. If it is one thing I have come to realize though it is this. Life, for whatever reason, will not go the way you want it. Even when good things happen more often then not it is in a way that we don't expect. Nevertheless whatever hardships we may endear only builds stronger character and resolve.
Photobucket
I was talking to a friend of mine a few days ago and he told me something VERY INSPIRATIONAL! He told me about this book he had been reading about Bruce Lee and his philosophy. He went deeper into explaining it and it made sense that the philosophy Bruce Lee was explaining can be used in any situation a person can think of. It was then that I realized this was an important and groundbreaking discovery about life. Appreciate that Morgan.

Basically what I'm writing about is how Bruce and Morgan both agree on being like water. Water is impervious to pain yet it can cause massive devastation. It is a natural and abundant resource. Gentle and calm and yet rough and dangerous all at once. It moves and adapts to any and every situation therefor making a person that thinks like this quick on their feet and able to relax and go with the flow.

I have a new outlook on life and thats why I'm sharing it with you. You can read this and shrug it off as something this 21 year old guy is just rambling on about, or you can begin to open your mind to more then what you've been taught. Grow spiritually and mentally.

Just remember, "Whatever happens, happens." ...Spike Spiegel

I have FAITH in YOU...

"As a hurdle you must overcome, I'll always be there for you. Even if you hate me...that's what being a big brother is" ...Uchiha Itachi

Photobucket
We all have loved ones that we care for and cherish. Some have family members, others friends, some spouses, and the fortunate have a combination if not all. We all have a beginning, middle, and an end. The length of it however varies from person to person, but the fact that we go through this connects us all together.

In life we all have a purpose. A reason for being here. Everyone must go on their on journey of life to find out what that reason is. Some however do so in a manner by cutting off ties with the ones they love. For whatever reason they do this is a choice made solely by them, but it hurts the ones they leave behind.

We might try to reach out a helping hand or try and fix the situation as best that we see fit, but things have a way of happening for a reason. Bad things happen sometimes because we allow them to happen. We're always given a choice, it just so happens that human nature picks the worse of the two choices more often then not. It is up to the individual that makes these mistakes to rectify them and set things right, whatever the consequences may be.
Photobucket

Others that cant see what their doing that refuse to acknowledge their going down the wrong path will have to learn on their own. A person can get sick trying to save someone that isn't even trying to help themselves. I'll never give up on you. I just wanted you to know that, but I refuse to keep giving you the same advice when you won't even listen to me. Thats why I've chosen to show you tough love. I have faith in you that one day you'll make the right decisions. Hopefully it'll be before the things you do create an environment for you that is irreversible.


I love you

Today was so-so

Photobucket
So I know I said in my second to last post that I would talk about something that had some importance but so far nothing comes to mind. Or rather I haven't really had the energy to think about a topic and form a strong discussion about it. So until then I'll just talk about my day...

...which was basically a so-so kind of day. Couldn't sleep last night for some reason. Maybe it was nerves, maybe I was just anticipating going to class, or maybe I just felt restless and had a lot of repressed feelings on something. Who knows? When I did wake up I didn't go work out be-4 class and instead chose to do it afterwards.

Class seemed to go by slow but me and my friends try not to look at the clock frequently and it gives the illusion that time is going by a little faster. Nevertheless it dragged on like always. Afterwards my friend Randi took me to Wal-Mart to get some grocceries cuz I really needed some. Now I'm back in the room chillEn be-4 I have to start this h/w assignment where I have to watch a program at 9:00p.m. and then write a paper and then study.

A nap sounds good right now so thats exactly what I'm going to do. Then grab a bite to eat and then get to business. Tomorrow is going to be a loooooooong day.

I've come a long way

Konichiwa!!!
Photobucket

A lot has been going on in my life. Classes for Summer I have begun and I'm still working at the same job saving up money. Staying in an apartment keeps a brother on his toes.

I'm watching Dragnet the movie starring Dan Aykroyd & Tom Hanks. I haven't seen it before but its really good. I woke up and turned on the TV and the next thing I know this movie caught my attention. Its based off an old TV show. Its awesome Dattebayo!

Last night I realized I've Come a Long Way from where I was about 2 months ago. It was a sad time when I was going through some ups and downs with this one girl, but now after putting my faith in God and allowing things to run its course I've come to the realization that it all happened for a reason. I saw this girl being pursued by other guys and it didn't phase me one bit. It got annoying listening to them but other then that I was chill. Plus since the incident with her I've learned a lot, a lot, A LOT lol
Photobucket
One more thing. Ghostbusers has a game coming out and its really, really, REALLY good and its sooooo freakin tight. In essance its the 3rd movie. All the actors reprise their roles so its really good. Fans like me appreciate stuff like that. Also Transformers Revenge of the Fallen comes out next week. On a Wednesday. I'm definitely going to go see that movie!

Thats about it for now. I've just been working out and chillEn and trying to make it lol Its summer so I'm trying to have fun.

Till next time. Same Bat Time, Same Bat Channel!

Konichiwa!!!

Its been a long long LONG since I've been on blogspot. I must say I've missed it. So much has gone on in the past couple weeks. My little sister graduated as well as 3 of my cousins (I'm proud of all of you!) and there all going to start new chapters in their lives. Its an exciting time.

Summer I just started. I'm taking this TV Production class and it is really coo. I'm going to make an A in this course. I've got my head on straight.

Threw a party last night for people that I work with. It wasn't a big turn out cuz everybody else was at work but we all had fun just the same. I'm just chillEn until my 12:30 class so I'm bout to bounce. Will be posting soon about some important topics. Till then take it EZ

A Day in the life of...

I just got up about 45 minutes ago. So far my day is going good. No complaints from me. Talked to my sister for a little while. She's going to be graduating real soon. Now I'm just chillEn in my apt. listening to some De La Soul. Gotta work at 5:00 so until then I'm just chillEn.

Don't really have much to say today. Oh yea. Check out MF Doom. This kat is mad crazy yo. He also collobarates with this DJ Danger Mouse and they form the group Danger Doom. Here's a song off of their album "The Mouse & The Mask" ft. Talib Kweli (another one of my favorite artists). This beat is soooooo smooth. If you watch Adult Swim you've probably heard this before.




I'm always looking for new things cuz I like originality. And where I don't care to much about clothes cuz we should all be fortunate for the stuff we already have I think if you have a job and you spend and save your money wisely then you should be able to purchase a few things that you want. Along with Pharrell's clothing line Billionaire Boys Club I also want to purchase some appearl from Kidrobot. Both are really coo. Check it out when you get the chance.

Paying Homage

A little poEm I composEd just now. I like it. hopE you Enjoy.

"Paying Homage"

A vast amount of knowledge I've acquired while in college
So to my friends and family its time to pay homage
Coming from the slums only place to go is up
I gotta keep grinding this way of life is tough
Everywhere I look people stealing people dieing
Just to get that stuff from the people thats supplying
Stereotypes of a black mans life I'm defying
Lessons from the scriptures is what I am applying
I heard my fallen brothers and sisters speak to me
Their message of peace and equality lives through me
I don't mind helping my people, but you gotta help yourself
How you gone sit around the house and expect to make wealth
The world is an ocean so I've got my fishing rod
One day my views and context will be heard on I-pods
May not have packed steal but my rhymes you gotta feel
I'm just doing what I know so just let this seed grow

"Lost&Found"

Photobucket

Its been a while since I hopped on blogspot so let me apologize for not posting a lot. I've just been enjoying my summer and working.



Today will be really short. I just want to talk about something I "Lost&Found". It was a part of myself I thought I had lost for good but last night I came to the realization that it was inside of me all along. Something I couldn't truly loose but misplace. Better yet I would go so far as to say it was right in front of me all along but I lost sight of it.



Taking advice is something I do on a regular basis. I'm an indecisive person. I have to be 100% certain about something before I put my whole into it. Thats understandable wouldn't you say?



After all the hard work I put in last spring and summer I should have come back one of the most confident people in the world but instead I was clouded with doubt and fear. It was pitiful. Going up to girls second guessing myself wondering "what should I say, what should I not say?". Its not even that difficult. I complicated it to the point it seemed like I was putting the situation on a plateau that I could never reach.


...but this journey has finally concluded and now another will soon begin. I've reconnected with myself. That part of me that was lost has been found and adding that with the vast amount of knowledge I've collected will ensure that I have a place in this world. I stand with me feet firmly planted on the ground.

Days are looking brighter!

Photobucket

Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm no longer a resident living on campus in a dorm. Yes...thats correct. I've moved on up like the Jeffersons!

I must say that I've been waiting on this for a long time. And yesterday was such a good day. My mom came and picked me up and my stuff was already packed so we got everything in the car and after waiting in line to be checked out of my room we bounced and headed to the Grove. They gave me a Grove shirt and me and my mom went outside and looked at the pool and she was telling me about the good stuff recently going on in her life.

Next I got my keys and met the guy whose lease I was taking over. Met one of my new roommates too and he was coo. Even helped my mom and I move in. She took me to Wal-Mart and got me some groceries, new bed sheets, we saw my cousin, and she even bought me a new phone (Which if you know me then you know I DESPIRATELY NEEDED A NEW PHONE lol but I was patient and my patience finally paid off. The lord blessed me. My mom got me a razor. Its perfect).

We ate at Chilis and then went to my Aunt Shirley's house. She hooked me up with some food too so I'll be taken care of. I love my family. They take good care of me. After that went back to the crib and got ready for work and my mom dropped me off. It was a long day but my homegirl came and took me home and I showed her and her friend my apt. After that just got hooked up to the Free Wi-fi and cleaned my bathroom and put my new bedsheets on and went to bed!

Yesterday was a good day. Ice Cube would agree with me. Thank God, my mom, and all my other family and friends. This summer its going down! Summer 09 Baby!

Letting Go

Photobucket

One of the hardest things to do in life is to Let Go and move on. When you can finally say your ready to move on and get your stuff together then you've come a long way. Its a part of life. Shows that your growing up.

I've had to deal with this recently...like the past three weeks. Make it four since its Friday. Last night I saw something that really made me take a step back and reevaluate the situation and I just had to man up and say if thats what she wants to do who am I to stand in her way? If I care about her I'll let her do her and be happy for her and do me and find someone that makes me happy.

I'm really going to learn from this situation though and not just learn but apply it to the next situation I go through.

Photobucket

In other words I had a good, good, GOOD workout! Man I feel good and can see a difference. I move into my apartment tomorrow as well. Sister is having her graduating party where a lot of family members will be gathering. Its just so much going on. I've got my last final today at 10:30 am and I'll be officially done with this semester!


I'm about to go and finish studying. Keep God first and keep your faith in him. He'll never let you down. I see now that school is really where I'm suppose to be right now. I wouldn't have grown and matured into the person I am today if I hadn't come here. Its a blessing and a great opportunity.

Understanding & Channeling my Anger

Photobucket

Now I'm the first person to admit that I know things don't always go how you plan them and life is DEFINITELY not fair but how can someone more times then not end up loosing? I don't want anything handed to me on a sliver platter. I've had to work hard my entire life. If you want something in life you have to work hard and get it yourself cuz no one is going to give it to you, (that is unless your spoiled or your just fortunate enough to have things provided for you).

...I was upset at something today but seeing how life is so short and when you think about how large the universe is and how small we are it makes our problems almost insignificant. I've just got to channel my anger and use it for something positive. Like when I'm working out. Which today was a good one. I'm feeling a difference for real. I did my first pull up last night!!! I was ecstatic Dattebayo!

Photobucket

So I'm not going to allow things to get me down. I'm just going to keep my head to the sky and remember where Christ is and continue reading my Bible. If some opportunity doesn't open itself for me then it wasn't meant to happen and so now I'm going to continue working hard and studying and save up my money and stay on track jack!

Just needed to write to get things off my chest. Feel better already.

Its almost here...Summer is Approaching!!!

Photobucket

Today was a good day. I can't complain. I'm just getting back from work and doing my laundry. Its 2:16 am and talking to friends on Facebook and watching Family Matters.


Talked to my Brother-from-another-mother last night. It was good talking to him. Always with good advice and we always talk about the good old days of Middle School at JJHS. Good times, Good times.


Well...finals are this week. Its going to be one CRAZY-ASS-WEEK to say the least, but at the end of it all I will have triumphed no matter what. Thats how I see it.


Not much more to say on here. It is kinda late. I'm praying that everything works out in my favor. I'm tired of getting the short-end-of-the-stick so to speak in life. I want my piece of the pie. Stephen Andrew Robinson deserves to be happy in life just like everyone else. I don't want to be selfish. I'm not asking for much. We'll see how it all goes.

One more thing. Big ups to my moms. I love her and without her I wouldn't be where I'm at now. Happy Mother's Day mama! I love you!

Not much to say today

Photobucket

sooooooooooooooooooooooo

Work was str8 last night. I was tired. It was good for the company I had though. You know how I feel about that. If you don't you don't need to know lol

My workout today was really good. I was super tired when I got done with my upper body work out. Surprised I was able to walk upstairs to run around the indoor track. Must have a lot of stamina or something. Who knows?

Today was really laid back. I'm not use to that. I'm so use to studying or working or being in class or being in the gym or recording or writing or doing something that when I do finally get a chance to chill I don't know what to do with my time. I'll probably be headed to bed earlier then usual tonight. I'm not mad at that though.

Got some good music today. Dizzy Gillespie (R.I.P.) who was a trumpet player so I have to give him much props. Donny Hathaway is another old school kat I downloaded. Some good stuff. if you ever get the chance check it out. He's got that smooth style for when your chillEn with your lady and you two are just enjoying one another's company and...you know what the deal is.

(Dizzy Gillespie)

Anyways. Tomorrow I won't see a certain person I usually see so that'll be interesting. We'll see how that goes. It'll go good I'm sure.

My own worst EnEmy

Photobucket

You ever feel like despite all of your triumphs, all of your hard work, and all of your sacrifice you come to a point when someone is an obstacle that you must overcome to get even further? Well what if sometimes that obstacle in your way was yourself? What would you do then?


Subconsciously I set myself up for failure. Not all the time but a lot of times I'm My own worst EnEmy. Its time I just stop messing up and thinking things are going to be bad when I haven't even gone through the situation. Its like if an opportunity presents itself and its something that would be really good for me instead of embracing it I think regardless of what it is it'll be bad so I sit back in the shadows and watch as my moment of glory is taken by someone else or is gone completely for no one to grasp.

Photobucket

What I'm trying to say is that there is a difference in contemplating on taking a risk after measuring the pros and cons and then taking a course of action vs. doing all of that but then deciding not to do anything. To just sit back and watch as your dreams are forever put on hold because you can't step up and take hold of what you want. Well I'm done with that.

Actions speak louder then words so instead of going on and ranting about what I'm going to do or not do I'll just allow everything I do from This Point On determine the type of character I have. My integrity as a man will not be compromised nor will the many opportunities I wish to pursue.

On a Day like today...

Photobucket


It is 11:43pm...I spent some time with some good friends of mine today. It was good to chill with them in stressing times like these. Dead Week is no joke and Finals will definitely be a challenge but I'm ready and able to tackle any obstacle these tests have to dish out.

Photobucket
(Here is Me, O, Cristal, & Lana)

I spent a good 3 hours and 27 minutes sitting outside talking to my good friends O, Cristal, and Michelle. It was good hanging with them. Talking about relationships, religion, and fraud people.

Photobucket
(Here is Michelle and me)

Got to go chill with one of my new friends today. My homeboy Todd from work. We played the X-box 360. Gears of War II, Street Fighter IV, & Soul Calibur IV. It was some good stuff. Time went by super fast.


I've been thinking lately again on this girl that I know. An interesting relationship she and I have. All I can say is that I'm chillEn on it and right now whatever happens to us is on her. Maybe if I see some changes with us I'll step up again and say whats on my heart to let her know whats up but that makes a brother feel vulnerable for real, for real. But hey...if its meant to be it'll happen.

Well George Lopez about to come on and Ima wake up early to go work out and then go to class, turn in this project, and then just chill until its time to go to work. Gotta make this scrilla!

Insight on what was "Un-sEEn"

Photobucket

To all my fans out there let me say hello! Whats happening!? Hope you enjoyed my last post. Hope that the note I wrote about old and new experiences gave you some encouraging words of inspiration. If not hope you enjoyed anyways.

Not going to talk a lot today about stuff in my life other then the fact that being patient is easier said then done, but I'm staying strong. Just feeling like I'm being thrown around in a circular motion like I was laundry in the drier. I'm hoping that two weeks from now things will have calmed down and I'll be able to touch down on the ground and get my bearings straight.




The topic I wanted to address today was Insight on what was "Un-sEEn". People are always evolving and changing into greater individuals, but if thats true isn't it also safe to conclude that while others are changing for the better that others are changing for the worse.

Or maybe they aren't even changing, but what we perceived of them at first to be genuine and sincere was a mere illusion of what they wanted us to "SEE". I meet a lot of people everyday and when you allow someone into your life and they become a friend you let down your sensors and start a relationship with them. The same can be said about meeting the girl/guy your trying to talk to, but I'm not talking about that. Strictly friendship.

Fraudulent people that pretend to be real people can only keep this up for so long. Eventually someone is going too all them on all of their bull shit. Excuse my French but thats just how it is. If your real then be real and if your fake then be fake. In essence if your fake and being fake then your being real because your showing your true colors and not trying to hide the fact but people that are fake can't keep it real so thats an oxymoron.

I'm basically ranting on, but I'm seeing a lot of individuals for the people they really are. Their true colors are coming out and theres not much I can do about it but keep doing me and pushing it along.

A New Chapter (Prequal)

Photobucket

Its 10:09am and I'm in a good state of mind. I had a good work out this morning. I'll definitely feel this tomorrow morning but its a good thing. I put in some good hours at work this past weekend too so my pay check should look very nice (even though half is going to school, other half to cell phone bill, and other half towards savings for an apartment).

Besides all of that though it is Dead Week. The University that I attend doesn't have a "True Dead Week" however some of the same policies still apply. For the most part it means just stay on your stuff and study all week and if you have class go and get the last bit of information you need.

I feel like switching it up a little. Normally I just talk about what is going on in my life but its time to dig deeper. This is my blog of course so it would mostly pertain to me but lets take a look at another aspect of my life. I feel like writing something deep.

Here goes,

So it seems as one door closes another one comes in its place for us to journey on towards our next destination in life. We have a vague perception about where this road will take us, but life is mysterious so there are many unforeseen challenges lurking in the shadows.

Many tools are bestowed upon us to help through these periods of trials and tribulations. God is the shining Light giving us a clear path to follow. Our family are the voices crying out to us encouraging us to continue treading forward and to never look back. And our friends are the helping hands that pick us back up after we've fallen several times.

As long as we believe in ourselves and have the tenacity to never give up then we shall overcome any obstacle seen or unseen. Patience and diligence are key aspects we must take advantage of to aid us as well. So stand strong, never forget who you are, and go out and get what you want out of life. It wont be handed to you, you have to take it.
