3 things to stop doing to yourself

1. Stop spending time with the wrong people. – Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you.  If someone wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you.  You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot.  Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth.  And remember, it’s not the people that stand by your side when you’re at your best, but the ones who stand beside you when you’re at your worst that are your true friends.
2. Stop running from your problems. – Face them head on.  No, it won’t be easy.  There is no person in the world capable of flawlessly handling every punch thrown at them.  We aren’t supposed to be able to instantly solve problems.  That’s not how we’re made.  In fact, we’re made to get upset, sad, hurt, stumble and fall.  Because that’s the whole purpose of living – to face problems, learn, adapt, and solve them over the course of time.  This is what ultimately molds us into the person we become.
3. Stop being idle. – Don’t think too much or you’ll create a problem that wasn’t even there in the first place.  Evaluate situations and take decisive action.  You cannot change what you refuse to confront.  Making progress involves risk.  Period!  You can’t make it to second base with your foot on first.

Me

My life poem:

My life is controlled by my image

the image I'm yet to find 

If I don't find that image

then what's really on my mind?

If time is more important 

than your own drive

Then the root of happiness 

is entirely being deprived

Jealousy

This poem makes me jealous of the this guys mindset to money. I want it. 

Raj Arumugam

How to make money

how to make money,
baby;
how to make money;
tell me sweet love
you tell me
how to make money
how to make an easy billion


the world’s full of it
in cyberspace
and in shopping malls;
the world’s full of money schemes
in our real world
and where we buy a drink
or get more fries


it’s full on
about how to make money,
baby;
how to make money


make money, pal
they say
doing nothing;
I’ve got an auto system
and all you need is internet
and all you’ve got to do
is sit back and let the dollars roll
into your bank account


so tell me
how to make money,
baby;
how to make money


come in to this meeting
another group says
and we’ll show you how
show you how easy it is
how easy it is to make money:
it’s auto, auto, auto, fully automated
and the money keeps coming;
the money rolls
rolls in, rolls in, rolls in


tell me
how to make money,
baby;
how to make money


it’s all so easy
because we want
you to enjoy the life
we’ve earned;
we’ve made our money
and we want you to share
in the happiness;
it’s all so easy, dear friends –
we’ll guide you each step of the way;
we’ll show you how to make the money


so they’ll tell us
how to make money,
baby;
how to make money:
the only thing is
what they mean is
how to make money for them, babe,
how to make money for them
with a simple transfer of money
transfer of money, transfer of money
transfer of money from the foolish
transfer of money from the foolish to the deceitful;
wealth is, dear darling,
wealth is the transfer of money
from the foolish to the cunning


how to make money,
baby;
how to make money;
tell me sweet love
you tell me
how to make money
how to make an easy billion 

Higher Love

I had class with you today Nelson, you played this song. I want everyone to go home and download it: (preferably illegally ) Higher Love, Steve Winwood.


Everyone has a love that they aren't willing to show or portray. 
Why can't we show our higher love? Because the rest of the 
world is too scared too. Love shows weakness, and weakness 
is not an option in this world. Lets all show a higher love.




:)








Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is wasted time
Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine

Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love, oh
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love, I keep thinking of?

Worlds are turning and we're just hanging on
Facing our fear and standing out there alone
A yearning, and it's real to me
There must be someone who's feeling for me

Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be
[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/s/steve-winwood-lyrics/higher-love-lyrics.html]

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love, oh
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love, I keep thinking of?

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love, oh
Bring me a higher love
I could rise above on a higher love

I will wait for it, I'm not too late for it
Until then, I'll sing my song
To cheer the night along

I could light the night up with my soul on fire
I could make the sun shine from pure desire
Let me feel that love come over me
Let me feel how strong it could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love, oh
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love, I keep thinking of?

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love, oh
Bring me a higher love

Getting the GRADE

Why do we focus so much on getting good grades? College right? Wrong. 

Blew your mind right there... 

No I lied.. Its college. THATS IT.

Why can't colleges outgrow the grading system? It will eventually fail in my opinion. High schools want to be known as great, teachers want to be known as great. How else do people portray that they're great? Giving good grades. I see it already where its getting easier and easier to get good grades because everyone wins. Hopefully one day we can just go to a college interview and they ask you a series of questions to decide if your just a ball of good grades or if their is something behind that. 

Courage

      Some awesome quotes I found on courage:

“Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose.”

“The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.”

“If we're growing, we're always going to be out of our comfort zone.”

Courage will control your life. Just like fear. But all courage is, is how much fear you lack. So, control your own life and remember the odds when it comes to fear. Find your fears and attack them with your courage. You'll be happy you did.

FEARS

What is a fear?

Oh it's what everyone circles their lives around... Kind of a big deal I guess. If people didn't have fears, their lives would be very different. Why do we let something so stupid control our lives? Something we know will never happen. If we know none of it will realistically come true, why don't we realize the odds an get over it? Its because our minds mess with us. You mind wants you to have fear. Pisses me off. 

STOP BEING SO SCARED

 BOO!

Bucket List

I was commenting on someones page and saw they had a bucket list. I liked the idea so here I go:

Skydiving ( of course he has that )
Live in the Ghetto
Surfing
See a Shark
Make love on the roof of a skyscraper
Be in 4 states at once
Do Vegas right
Sleep on the streets of Detroit for one night
Skinny dipping in a hot tub at the top of a skyscraper

To be Continued...

LIFE and DEATH

TO MANY, LIFE IS THE FEAR OF DEATH.

Death isn't something that happens or something that someone can relate to. It's an idea. An idea that can make or break a person. Many people are controlled by what their mentality of death is. If we can't control death, then why let it control you?

When a person decides they are going to die, and can't do anything about it, they actually will live life differently. Now you may be interpreting this as the cliche "live life like your gonna die tomorrow." This isn't what I'm talking about. There is something to be said abut someone who lives their life subconsciously in the fear of death. Not necessarily thinking of death but anything that could result in danger or out- of the norm. Mainly, afraid of anything they've never encountered or been around. 

Dont let the idea of death control you... DEATH LEADS TO IDEAS, IDEAS LEAD TO FEARS, FEARS LEAD TO CONTROLLING YOUR BRAIN.
