(RP) Saturation.
Sometimes I feel that simple words are overlooked…take saturate for example. This simple word means to soak, drench, flood or oversupply. That’s simple enough right?!?! I found this scripture that we can apply this simple word to…
“Keep thy heart with an all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” -- Proverbs 4:23
What this basically is saying is that, if we store up good things in our hearts, our words and actions will be good. I truly believe that whatever is built up in your heart, your mouth speaks. This word saturation comes in to play because you need to saturate your mind on whatever you want to be in your heart. The old saying, “You are what you think,” is true! You will take on the characteristics and be identified of whatever occupies the majority of your thoughts. Saturate your mind with righteousness and peace..and you will live this out. Saturate your mind with evil and hate, and you will act and think in such a way that is not divine for your purpose. Saturation is a force that will determine your destiny!!!

Enhancement of Character
When others are immobilized they are stagnant to growth at any velocity.
But power is when inhabitants exert greatness with the influence of your presence when you are not in sight.
And then that power is surpassed by the next because…
What you keep to self is lost.
But when others take it further than your expectation of vista; that is when you achieve…

LIFEstyle?
As a mortal in this universe, can we actually know each other’s character? I mean, being a Man of Character(MOC) is something that I stand by. But do people actually know my character, or do they know my reputation.. or do they know my LIFEstyle?
The more and more that I think about it, you can’t live by rules…you have to live a LIFEstyle. If you want to live your life a certain way, you can’t think about as of the things that you can’t do… but you have to think about it as the things that you should do, the things that you want to do, and then it will eventually become you…
become your LIFEstyle

"Do You!”
One of the young ladies then went ahead and started talking about how our language and the way we act are different around different people. She then expressed how sometimes she is on her “white girl status”. Now if you know me, this was an immediate red flag. I then proceeded to ask her, what is the “white girl status” (already having a idea of what she was going to say, I just wanted her to hear herself say it out loud). She then explained that it is when she is acting and talking proper. That statement was said out of pure ignorance. Has society had such a impact on our youth, that when someone is acting and or speaking proper, then they are referred to as a “white person?” SMH. Speaking like this just sets you up for failure…
I want to challenge you, as I did her…If you feel as if you are educated, then speak with intellect. That’s “Doing you!” Don’t compare it with anyone else! Define it as you. Don’t let the society form who you are…and don’t let the society tell you what, and what not to do. This is your world, you will get out what you put in. Say yes to being you!
There is a time and place for everything in this universe that we live in, that does not mean you change who you are!

Everyday A Star Is Born! ..you chillin?
Everyday somebody is working had to be that next Doctor, Artist, Musician, Ball-Player, Lawyer, Athletic Trainer, Motivational Speaker, Photographer and any and everything else you can think of. Especially in the time that we live in now.. I mean Obama just gave a speech to all the kids in the US, the economy is not great, people are struggling on a daily basis.. It only makes sense that mortals are trying to reach greatness.. The universe is never content with the status quo. And the common people are not continent with being ordinary..(well I know I’m not at least).
Today somebody’s dreams just became their reality! Just imagine that…your dreams becoming reality…
That happened to somebody today. But you know what; it didn’t just fall in their lap, or maybe it did. Yes I’m convinced that it’s more about who you know than what you know…and your situation vs. their situation…and their family support to you not having a family…from their great education to your teachers not caring…and from there immense amount of luck to you not catching a break.. and along with that, their eight plus hours of sleep to your five hours of rest.. I know and heard a lot of it…
But when your dreams become reality…wont it make it that much SWEETER!!

Mr.Big Dreams..
Back Like Brett Favre!
Yo it’s me!! I’m back at it like Brett Favre LOL. If you have been wondering, I have been GREAT! I had a great summer. I was back in NY working at a youth residential camp. I had a different position from last summer as I was an Assistant Community Coordinator. This summer I continued to learn more about myself, as I was challenged in many different ways. Of course the kids had a great impact on me as I hope I did on them. ..Oh yeah, I lost the no shaving bet over the summer. Des! I got your dinner bruh..stop crying lol ..you always busy (cough, cough)
WOW! I can’t believe this is my last year of undergrad...and who would have ever thought I would be applying to Graduate School. Man life is crazy…
If you are new at my spot, this is not going to be your typical blog site. I’m not going to sit here and talk about celebrities, music and fashion. Well I take that back, the only fashion I will talk about is the Nerdy Brand. A couple of the homies are starting a brand and they have my support 100%. Make sure you check them out at http://www.be-nerdy.com/. But other than them, there are many other blogs and sites that you can get all that other information from. The focus of my blog is for personal growth, learning how to be intellectually greedy, quotes to get you thinking, and most of all, giving you the confidence and self-belief that you can reach any of the dream you work for. Like Big Sean says, you’re not going to reach your dreams by drinking Nyquil and being in pajamas.. But it’s going to take hard work, determination, some sleepless nights and definitely FAITH and COURAGE! I’m speaking to you still in search of my dreams…and I dream BIG! But I know I will get there, and I know you can too. So check back with me often and get some encouragement, motivation or for a study break! Leave comments…negative or positive, you might not know who you will touch…
The last thing I’m going to leave you with today is…
