Love Your Life: The Dropped Jewel Of The Day (August 23, 2019)

Buy Black Fridays“The function, the very serious function of racism, is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being. Somebody says you have no language and you spend 20 years proving that you do. Somebody says your head isn’t shaped properly so you have scientists working on the fact that it is. Somebody says you have no art, so you dredge that up. Somebody says you have no kingdoms, so you dredge that up. None of this is necessary. There will always be one more thing.” -Toni Morrison

Love Your Life: The Dropped Jewel Of The Day (July 23, 2019)

Get Off My Wings Logo“Very often, lack of focus is caused by fear. Lack of focus/fear means you can find a million reasons not to do what you say you want to do. Lack of focus/fear means if you do what you say you just might succeed.

Success means you would move out and beyond your comfort zone. Somehow, somewhere, deep inside, that is frightening. The key is if you would just stay focused, all of these frightening little details would miraculously be taken care of. Before you know it, you would be exactly where you say you want to be.” -Iyanla Vanzant

Love Your Life: The Dropped Jewel Of The Day (June 27, 2019)

The Flyest Mogul Flying“Without values, goals rarely get accomplished. Show me someone who is not reaching their full potential, and I’ll show you someone who missed the importance of designing his or her life around their values. Values are the key. When you understand them correctly, they will pull you toward to your dreams- which is a lot better than having to push yourself.” -David Bach
