No Message no return! Creating a message of success
In the 1989 move Field of Dreams, there is a mystery voice that speaks to Ray the voice tells him “If you build it, they will come.”
At the time he wanted to know who they were. As we grow in this constantly changing topsy-turvy world, we often forget about the small things in life. The small things like greeting passer buyers or telling your love ones you love them before leaving the house. Even down to picking up the phone to call a friend, family member, or even a business partner. We have gotten to the age of an email or text message. No more sitting down to write a hand written letter and show a little more effort. And when we do place a call we never leave a message. As you strive to reach your goal of success you must have a message. You must have some type of substance that can create a return. Leaving a message is just like being a farmer or gardener you are planting seeds. A message can be as simple as speaking to the different people you pass every time you enter in the grocery store and or connivance store. I do realize the entire point of a connivance store is for you to get in and get out. No one ever said you had to speak. What about taking the time to speak to the drive through rep that assists you with your food. I know that is unthought-of I know you may say they call it fast food for a reason. However you do this to create a message of who you are and your values. When you call someone and they do not answer the phone do you leave a message or do you hang up. How or why do you expect a phone call when you do not leave a message? That drives me crazy personally. Any time a person calls and do not leave a message it gets to me. I think to myself what they think I sit around twit tiling my thumbs all day. No I do not I have things to do I have people to help so I call them when I call them. I have learned and still learning that a message should be direct and to the point. It should be catching and encourage someone to call you back. That being said when leaving a message it does not have to be long winded it can be short. That being said it is rude to waist people time so when setting your voicemail it’s unprofessional to try and play an entire song and or give them a sermon. That is why they have social networks for you let people know what’s on your mind.
By creating a message you set yourself up for a return. I have used a verbal message for my example however I want to remind you of the accessories we have talked about previously. A message could be your pride in your walk, your dress and or your appearance, a message can even be your business card, or the upkeep of your house and car. Your message is your on sight portfolio, it represent your who, what, when, and how. When you have a message there is no need to boast or do self edification, because your message does that for you! When you create a message you will get a return.

#1 30 day work out plan
#1 In order to tear down walls of failure we must first rid our selves of the bricks of depression. Friends that do not believe are ur doom!
In our ever changing world or society there is one thing that remains a constant. Most people desire to be like, loved and or appreciated. Because of fear of not being accepted many people settle for less then. Remember the day you settle is the day you admit that you are less then. Many times we have people in our lives that we should have been rid ourselves of. These people are nothing but stumbling blocks and or leaks in our plumbing. These people can range from any relationship. They can be mother, father, sister, brother, aunt, uncles, best friend from the age of nine. However they can still be a hindrance. The problem with long term friendship is irrational decisions. We are afraid of hurting someone feelings or we are afraid of what they will think of us there for we are silent at times when we need to speak out. In order for you to be the best you possible or reach your ultimate level of success you must do an evaluation of where you are and where you are going. You must look at the desired life style and or life circle and see who fits in to that circle with you. You must not be afraid of making tuff decision or you will never reach your ultimate goal. Tuff decision can range from any level of high or low, i.e. white or wheat bread, study or party, cut friendship or retain friendship. During your thirty days to a better you I challenge you to postpone your old friends and attempt to acquire new friendship each day. While acquiring new friendship you must ask some important questions such as where said friend is and where said friend is going. You must ask what do this friend have that you want and do this friend have the life style you wish to have. No offense to anyone but you do not go to a Jim and say I want to lose weight and get a 300 over weight person to train you, but you find someone that looks in the desired shape and you go to them for tutelage. So in our success we must do the same thing. If my credit score is weak Imam find someone that is doing well and has an honorable credit score and name and start to mimic the things he or she does. I do not care if they are older than me or younger I just care that they are the vision of my ultimate outcome.
Success is not something given or promised, it's a way of life that is challanged daily. A day of good will be spoken for moments, but a moment of evill will be the ruins of life. Tune it tomorrow for part two.

wHAT Happen tO hIp hOP
Any way to my next subject lets talk about monkey see monkey do monkey get a whipping too.
So I am listening to this CD that a friend of my mine told me to listen to. It’s not gospel but it’s not rap it’s just music. As I listened to the CD I felt if some one had diarrhea of the mouth it seemed as if the psalmist or rapper was just saying what ever came to mind.
In my person opinion it was neither lyrics intelligence nor any thoughts taken to make the CD.
I spoke with my friend and she said the dude is talented and mad smart I was fighting everything in my power not to tell her what I really thought. She was telling me how the dude was a bum and how he made it and I’m thinking he did not make it, he just escaped the reality.
My personal opinion is to make it is to learn and then teach. To make it is to be informed and act. To make it is to decide that your life will not be the same. To make it is not to forget where you came from but know when it’s ok to leave what you came from. To make is the ability not to give more of the same.
Through out the young mans CD he talked about him self and talked about music, crying what happen to music, saying he do not care about the money but he cares about the music, he cared about getting back to the basics.
Well back to the basics is writing songs with meaning, back to the basics do not include filler words to take up line space just so it can look like a real album. When music was first created it was intended to calm the spirits. The task of music was to send a message that of peace, that of love and that of joy. Music then evolved and then told stories, stories of defeat those of heroics, and triumph. Music spoke of prophetic structure of hope for the future, depicted a journey that one had taken. I am tired of writing of I am tired of thinking about it because I am getting upset about something that I am not in but for you who read this pass it along. These young boys did not Kill Hip hop older guy Killed Hip Hop along time ago. Hip hop was killed when the message was lost. Hip hop ended when rappers thought it was more important to brag about their money and cars, and degrade females by calling them female dogs, We lost hip hop when we gave up on the movement and lost sight of the promise land. We gave up on Hip hop when we as listeners supported and and allowed it . We gave up on our selves we gave up on reality

Last one There is a rotten egg Success
What is success, who is success and how do you reach it. As I prepare to go in to work I sit and look around and think of all the things I would rather be doing
I think of staying in bed I think of just going shopping and I think about just watching TV all day long. I think about what if I statements. What if I was rich,
What if I was successful, what if? But as I continue to think and type I realize I am success, and you are success. In this day in age it takes a lot to survive. It does not matter if you are the bum
On the street or the guy behind Microsoft if you have made it this far you are successful. Now grant it, you may not be at the success you want I mean who ever reaches their exact goal but in truth you are already successful. With the economy and things you could have taken a easy way out. You could have OD on some peels you could have walked out in traffic or just put a gun to your head. But there is something that made you say let go. You have that survival instinct that will not allow you to quit. Because of that you are Successful. I tip my hat to you my friend and tell you keep pressing on towards the mark. You do not have to be known around the world or publicized on TV or have your picture on who’s who or be endorsed by Nike or Rebook because you have made it this far without them. Right about now anything else is just plain luxury . To my ladies all my single ladies I said all my single ladies my I am applauding you right now, not because you do not have a man but because you are confident enough to know a man those not make you. You do not have to lay down on your back or be little yourself to obtain worth. The book of proverbs 31:10 tells us the traits of a virtuous women and nowhere in that passage do I see anything about her being on her back but it talk about her hands. It tells us about her quality and things she bring to the table don’t just take my word for it check it out for yourself. For my single ladies with babies, it is still good you have made it this far. You are success I cannot tell you I can raise a child by myself and there are a lot of people that have given up and have given in to drugs, alcohol peels and just plain given up but you have stuck in there keep your head up you are success. LoL I know I got some single dads out there and believe me you got some good ones. But the word of God sass that a good name is hard to come by so we must continue to prove ourselves fellas we must get on the band wagon with these ladies and continue to evolve I am not bashing any men or anything I am just saying there is still work to do. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice every where all though you may not have a baby momma or have any children. You may not be playing the feel and talking to five or six different girls you still got a job to do. If you have friends that have children and they not doing their job you must tell them step up or step out. You may not be doing the crime but you can very well up doing the time. Association is an inclusive but yet exclusive crime to pay for . Well I got to go talk to you all soon. May the Lord of Hosts continue to watch you. May he lead you and guide you. May he continue to blessed you all the days of our lives. Amen
