Fortune Favors The Brave

Fortune favors the brave

What is the quality or trait most highly valued by the Universe?

I don’t know the answer to that question, but what I do know is that “courage” is one of the traits that the Universe values highly. So highly, in fact that the Universe almost always rewards the courageous.

Whenever you go and look throughout history you’ll find that all the greatest discoveries; the greatest feats were accomplished by men and women who had this rare but powerful quality.
Without courage it is impossible to demonstrate faith, and the Bible teaches that without faith it is impossible to please God.

If you want to make your dreams come true you need courage.
Courage to be yourself
Courage to go on when it seems there is nowhere else to go
Courage to believe in your dreams and to do whatever it takes to make it come true when others don’t see it and advise you against it
Courage to follow your instincts when the experts point somewhere else
Courage to believe that it is possible to do something that has never been done before and to attempt it.

If you haven’t manifested your dreams yet, could it be that the one thing that is missing in your life is this very quality, “courage.”

Even if you have done all the other things that the law of attraction teaches, there is still one thing that you need to do, and that is to take action. This requires courage and this is where many students of the law of attraction fail.

They want everything to come to them, and although you may get some things on a silver platter you have to do something 90% of the time.

Even the person who wins the lottery, which by the way is one of the easiest ways to become rich, has to purchase the ticket and claim his winnings.

I remember always thinking by myself, I don’t just want to be rich. I wanted to be confident in myself and my ability to accomplish things including creating wealth, and I’m so glad that I didn’t win a lottery or something like that. Because people who win lotteries or fell into money through other ways are so afraid of losing it, because they didn’t work for it and don’t know how to recreate it, should they lose it.

Although it is nice to just have things just fall into your lap, there is a purpose behind having challenges. It makes you strong and gives you the courage to take on bigger goals. It gives you confidence in yourself and in your abilities, that you’ll be able to handle things, no matter what happens.

So stop worrying about if things will work out or not, just do it and see what happens. Remember, fortune always favors the brave.

In This Skin

It feels so weird to be in my skin.

Imagine, you’re out just doing the normal thing like buying some gum from the store and when people walk by you they stop and stare and smile…all the time.

All the time.

All day.

Tonight as I was just getting onto my shift at Denny’s a big table filled with grown men were walking out. As they passed me each one of them stopped to look me in my face and ask me what my name is. Each.One.

It’s crazy! I just stand there feeling all uncomfortable.

I can’t be that cute. I don’t feel that cute on the inside. I don’t have an outstanding figure and in my uniforms I must look atrocious. It must be my eyes. For some reason I feel like they define me.

People stop and stare at my eyes all the time. I’m serious, it has to be at least 20 times a day. I’m so serious.

Man…I want to see what they see.

When I look in the mirror all I see is me- Buckeed tooth, big nose Tee. I wonder what they’re looking at.

The smile on their faces is so delightful to see, though. Their faces light up when they see me as though I just bought them a birthday surprise.

Do ya’ll know what that feels like?

Man..I feel like an angel placed on this earth to make people feel good.

Or maybe God made me attractive to help brighten people’s day. So I put on my makeup and I’m extra nice and extra friendly and I play with all kids and dogs. It doesn’t matter who you are, if you’re in my realm of sight you’re going to be treated as though you are the most important person in the world.

When people walk away from me I want them to think, “Wow, that was a very special woman.”

I don’t know man. I’m just so flattered that God chose me to have ALL these gifts. He made me like this for a reason and I promise that I’m going to do it as big as I can to say Thankyou.

Sometimes it’s not about setting a goal. Sometimes it’s about seeing how far you can go.

Let’s go.

Video Porn & No Pressure Sales

I’ve never made a porn, intentionally…

Oh wait! Let me stop lieing, I did make one intentionally and I really enjoyed the experience. He didn’t keep it, I did. In fact, I recorded over a few years back.

Which makes me wonder why I dislike video porn so much. I mean, If you’re into it, I don’t knock it and I won’t run out of the room if you put one on but it’s probably gonna be my last choice to watch. Hmm..Unless it’s with 2 girls then I get aroused by watching that.

But…porn does absolutely nothing for me. In fact I’m kinda like, “Yuck!”

But do you know what type of porn I like best?

Erotic stories.

I’m not talking about Zane or whoever else is out there writing stories these days. I’m talking about straight up porn stories. I don’t know why–I just get so much more aroused when I have to imagine it for myself versus seeing some dimpled booty and hair bump filled crotch on my screen.

Yeah…all of this was sparked after my friend sent me a clip of porn online and I was trying to explain to him why I don’t like video porn.

Anyway, had an okay day at work. Sold a couple of tours, but I didn’t get any families to say Yes to the presentation.

I may not be a salesman. If someone says No, I leave them alone immediately. I’ve noticed that most of my co workers kind of harrass people or take control of the conversation until they say yes.

Some of them even beg.

I don’t know how to act like that. I don’t beg for anything. I tried it, just to see if it would work. but whining, ‘Why not? Come on…Please..’ made me feel like an idiot. I’m not doing that anymore.

All I can do is try my best.

Promise to Share My Blessings

I just sat up here and got frustrated and almost teary eyed because there’s a girl I want to bless because she’s pregnant and in need of clothes and I know I can’t do a lot for her.

I really want to bless her. She stands on her feet all day everyday working with me and I just want her to rest.

I’m sitting up here and I’m supposed to be writing my paper but I’m thinking about her and when or if I’ll be able to bless her. I need to bless her.

I need to.

That’s how my heart feels. But my heart feels like that everyday with everyone that I meet. If they even mention a need, I want to try to help them take care of it. I feel like that is what I am supposed to do.

In my heart, I am burdened when I can not help or help make a connection with someone who can. I know I’m not God but I want to wave a magic wand over them and fix every situation and give them what they need. Since I can’t, I just try to teach them about affirmations and affirm them and plant the seed for a vision that will delight them and hopefully help it grow.

I just want to spread love all over the place.

I feel bad because I can’t do as much as I really want to. Man, when I make my billions and break the generational curse of poverty over my life there are going to be a lot of happy people in this world.

You can trust me with it God. I promise to be a blessing.

You Can Listen Too

Today i feel all ughh because I had on my ‘work’ tennis shoes, a regular pair of jeans and an old college polo shirt. I know I put that on because it was raining all day but damn…that’s not my summer gear. This must be fall for real!

But anyway, why do I even care what anyone thinks of how I look? Why am I even worried about it when I never worried before?

It’s..It’s…

It’s this radio show. I mean, I can blog all day here with my picture on it and no one really knows I do this on the street. I’m kind of anonymous.

But when I do this show my REAL NAME and my REAL voice will be out there. I’m shaking.

I can just hear it now….

I know that girl! Boy I *&&#^ her back in the day!

Ohhh…her? LOL She’s the best!

That bitch crazy!

My goodness, I don’t know if I’m ready to be scrutinized like that. My past is my past and I come in peace dude. LOL! Man…I like being anonymous.

Wow.

But to the point. My focus is to promote my message of healing through my books and if this show can be a conduit, I’ll use it. I’ve got my weekly schedule and I’m searching for guests. All I need to do is learn how to make a playlist on some sort of gadget, the ipod or the mp3 I think they call it. I have to learn to use that to make my life easier.

Oh my gosh, I’m a DJ with no music. ~shakes head~ I hope the computer has songs I like.

`sigh~

I don’t know if I’m ready for this but I won’t know unless i jump.

Listen in and please CALL on Friday night between 10 to midnight eastern.

For my first show we’ll be discussing Computer Love: How the internet affects romantic relationships

My First Radio Show- Computer Love


~smile~

I had so much fun last night.

The boys and I ate chinese for dinner as we hung out at my Mama’s house before heading to the studio. They were superkrunk and I was…well…I guess I was still in disbelief.

I had spent the previous night up writing out a sample script for my show. I had a vision in my head of how I wanted things to run and what I wanted the guests to say and I wrote it all down in order with two songs playing in beneath segments.

I added the guest’s names and phone numbers as well.

I got the music off limewire and placed an icon for it on my desktop. Then I picked up my boys and we went to my Mama’s house to practice before the show. I got a call from the guy who was supposed to get me started at the studio and I packed up the boys to go meet him.

We printed out the scripts and then went to the studio. I Introduced my boys to the guy, umm…..Trainer, and he reviewed the different switches and buttons and how to take phone calls.

My boys were out in the hallway watching the guys play music in the other studio.

I almost fell out when one of my classmates walked into my studio. I introduced her to my boys and she walked over to me.

Get this…after making an announcement in one of my classes about my new show, this woman came up to me and said that she wanted to be my researcher for the show. I told her, “HEY! GREAT!”

In class this week she asked me the topic and I explained it to her and she said she’d contact me this week.

So she walked into the studio and I smiled and greeted her. I showed her the sample script that I had written and as she read through she said, “You have pretty much everything covered. Would you need me to make phone calls for you?”

“Yes, please,” I replied and handed her a script. For some reason I had printed two, not even knowing why I did that. “Every guest has a phone number next to it. Call them and introduce yourself and let them know which time frame they should be expected to call in.”

She went down the hall to make phone calls.

I was like…dang. It’s nice having an assistant. She was great!

And then….at two minutes to 10, I sat down, my boys sat down in front of my booth and it all began…

It was like…magic.

The guys behind Verysmartbrothas.com were on the show.

Nika Williams was on the show.
I interviewed a couple who met in an aol chat room six years ago.

I interviewed a man who met his wife online and afterwards they both deleted all of their online profiles to keep their relationship solid.

I interviewed a woman who met her husband online and blogged about the entire experience of meeting, dating and getting married.

I had an email question come in about a guy who was caught cyber cheating by his girlfriend but even when he confessed, she still didn’t break up with him and he was nervous about that.

We listened to TI’s Whatever You Like and I called up Tamara and we discussed why we liked the song.
I even had the privelege of playing my Baby Kanye’s Love Lockdown. (I love him.)

And then…

DJ DIVA donated one of her mixes to the show so I was able to play a special mix once I ran out of content.

My friend Rayy called in and really hit the spot when he answered the email question. I couldn’t even argue with him on his opinion because I agreed. If a woman finds out her man is cheating and she doesn’t leave him, it’s probably because she has cheated too.

All in all, I laughed, I messed up, I sang, I called my friends and I just hung out….

This feels so good to me. It feels so natural and so right.

It is so fulfilling to me.

I took an hour and a half and I made it mine and I was completely myself the whole time and even if no one tuned in, my friends did and we had a great time.

I am so grateful for the experience.

I believe God must love me so much. I feel so favored.
