The Trip: Don’t Wait to Exhale

We all get occupied by the burdensome traffic that life will throw our way. Nothing you want is handed to you. All desires take sacrifice, time, effort, and passion. What we neglect to focus on is the time that needs to be taken out for ourselves. When your focus is taken off of yourself, your life becomes unbalanced. Each component towards reaching our desires takes pieces of us until the peace within us fades out.  How can a person progress when they are exhausted mentally and emotionally, and in some cases physically? The trip requires a person to be at peace with their past, present and future. Corruption is a road block and either you work around it or through it. You can’t follow a desire if you’re experiencing doubt or fear. IT JUST DOESN’T WORK LIKE THAT! I learned today in church that if you focus on fearing your destiny, you will lead yourself to failure. With that being said, don’t stress… just rest! Two weeks ago, I was sent to the emergency room f...

The Cards That Are Dealt: Changing the Trip's Course

Life can show a person the dirtiest, ugliest, and darkest perceptions of the world and the people in it. What an individual must remember is that viewing the world as an ugly place only creates fear, isolation, and distrust in society. Positivity is the only way a person can be happy with themselves and everything around them. Keep your mind clear and play the best game with the cards that you are dealt with.

I can remember leaving her hospital room that night and thinking that it was just another episode induced by high stress. All my mom needed was rest and she would be fine. The next morning I rushed back to the hospital, not expecting the heavy load of reality that would be dropped on me. She told me that she had to go to the bathroom and as I reached out my ...

Perseverance: Push Through the Trip

Passion is the flame that is ignited inside of you when you are doing something that sparks your deepest interest. We all have a deep passion for something, it’s a thing that no individual should ever have the power to take.  Your passion must be protected and through perseverance it will always radiate through the depths of your spirit. There is an art to perseverance and it requires a complete you.  A person must be mentally, physically, and spiritually intact with their ultimate plan. People and situations are placed in your life to discourage you but it is your decision to give them that advantage. When the enemy sees that you have restructured your focus then “concern” about your change begins to resonate.  As an open individual you have to remember that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. People can see change in you but that does not mean they have to agree with the modification.  If your friends are not ready to adapt or grow with you, they ...
