"Hold On And Don't Let Go"

If you have a dream never give up on it. Sometimes we don't want to try anymore because it gets difficult and we feel like we are in it by ourselves. It could be that you are in it alone but find your motivation that will push you to your next level. You hold on to your dream and don't let it go. I don't remember the teachers saying " Yes your dream will be easy to achieve". They always said you had to work hard for it. A lot of us let go because of an obstacle that are place in front of us to make us stronger. Without those obstacles you will never be ready for our dream. Hold On And Don't Let Go....

I Think I Am " It's All In Your Mind"

" If You get Push, Push Back In A Different Way"

Sometimes it seem like some people just push you and push you until you react to being push. It's like they want to see you upset and step out of character. Don't step out of character if you do you will give the satisfaction of having control over you. Find certain things that will keep you from getting to the point where you want to " SNAPP". Such as: walking away, counting to ten, going running, read a book or etc.. Be your own person do not let the next person control your day.

Don't Give Up On Yourself...

In life we are face with problems that we sometimes think we cannot get through. It is our mind telling us we cannot make it. Install in your mind that "Yes!" you can get through. No matter if you are a high school drop out, grew up poor, or have just a single parent. Never Give Up On Yourself we can make it work just stop and take it slow but not too slow that your life pass you by.

RESPECT " It Starts At Home"

Respect starts at home and it is very important for us as adults to install Respect into our children. Respect is the one element in their lives that will take them farther then education. Nevertheless, education is a very important essential in life and we all need it. Having respect shows no matter what you went through in your life you overcame it and any negativity that may have set you back you was able to turn it around and apply it to your life. Having teens growing up in a world where parents do not  respect themselves only show them that it is okay to be the same way and IT'S NOT. As a matter of fact it is the worst thing you can do for your child. Yes, we are ordinary people and we make mistakes but this is one mistake that is being repeated over and over. It is the young people that are suffering from it. There is a saying that said " If a man don't respect his mother then he will not respect you" and that is true because half of the time because daddy didn't respect mommy or mommy had a different man in the house while daddy was at work. There are so many different ways that respect can be lost by a child. Some women do not trust men because they was rape or touch in the no-no area and the other way around. We got to fix it and it starts at home. Teach the young one to love and respect themselves. Once you have master loving and respecting yourself you have no other choice but to love and respect the ones around you.
