"Quote of the month"

"Ladies If you looking or

you may never obtain what could be" no man is perfect who knows that  man may be right under your nose an you don't even know it in other words dont be like the lady on the bench

 Poem of wisdom which I live by because only this will make you a man

IF...

IF you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don`t deal in lies,

Or being hated, don`t give way to hating,

And yet don`t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you`ve spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build `em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: `Hold on!`

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,

if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds` worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that`s in it,

And - which is more - you`ll be a Man, my son

About me:

I LOVE myself in all aspects. I learned to accept myself 100%...not for my inadequacies...but for the things that I cannot change. I am proud to have accomplished so much thus far and plan to continue to make my mark in this world. I am Black MAN...I am ME! I am not perfect but I have learned from my mistakes. I am not like other men who may have brought pain or hurt to your heart an for that im sorry. However what you see in me is not a act I’ve learned early in life from my single strong black mother that anything worth having is worth waiting and fighting for yes it may take long but in due time it shall come. I believe that you should NEVER discuss your problems with someone who is incapable of contributing to the solution, why because those who never succeed themselves are always first to tell you how. Not everyone has a right to speak into your life. You are certain to get the worst of the bargain when you exchange ideas with the wrong person. Please By all means Don't follow anyone who's not going anywhere. With some people you spend an evening: with others you invest it. Be careful where you stop to seek for directions along the road of life. Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right friendships.

My Beliefs:

Everything in life happens for a reason who are we to question it. People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do. When someone is in your life for a reason, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand. therefore, What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up have been answered and it is now time to move on. Next! When people come into your life for a season, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season. Lifetime relationships teach you lifetime lessons; those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person/people anyway, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.It is said that love is blind, but friendship is clairvoyant. Always try to reach out to others in your journey through life because you never know when you might slip back and meet those same people on your way back down.
