Quickie: Words

Speak/write and let your words be remembered, let them serve as an inspiration to others, let them encourage and give hope, let them bring understanding and revelation to the one confused and in doubt, let them be heard as a testimony of a great mind, let them be used to teach the coming generation.

Lost Generation by Jonathan Reed

I am part of a lost generation
and I refuse to believe that
I can change the world
I realize this may be a shock but
“Happiness comes from within.”
is a lie, and
“Money will make me happy.”
So in 30 years I will tell my children
they are not the most important thing in my life

Quickie X: The Life

It’s the life we chose
Where work becomes home
And you think the stress won’t take you out before you know?
It’s the life we chose
Where dough becomes enthroned
And you let its lack lead you to your biggest low

Quickie: Better Days

Almost thought that I would not see this day
When the perils of the white house would fade away
Was perplexed thinking: would there be an end to this?
When depression without my inkling knocked on the door to my crib
The hardship, pain and the biting
Guilt from the failure they said we were courting
From grace we fell? I [...]

The story of your life is a summary of the choices you make day in day out and their additive consequences. It is basically a picture you paint as the years go by. For starters, choice has nothing to do with good or bad; right or wrong. It is a chosen line of action amidst [...]

Interview With God

Saw this and it blew me away so I decided to share. Enjoy!
I dreamed I had an interview with God.
“So you would like to interview me?” God asked.
“If you have the time” I said.
God smiled. “My time is eternity.”

It was a long journey; 7 years of everything; the good, the bad and the in-betweens. Five months ago it came to an end and today the transition to the life-after complete. I took an hour to remember how it all began and inevitable I miss some of the times.
I miss my first night in [...]

it’s been a while

Not had the time to post like before, so many things have changed in the last 4 months… you know post grad challenges. My vision, mission and strategy have been updated to fit my current disposition. I have not stopped thinking, i have only stopped writing. Would get back into gear from now forward, a [...]

100%

Ever envied someone else with a great talent you wish you had? Ever wondered why the genius in your class had to read 20 times less and achieve 10 times more than you do academically? Ever thought about why some guy has a success rate of 80% with women when you have 10%? Ever been [...]

Say

Have you ever wondered what exactly other men tell women when trying to make their acquaintance? Well, women definitely have a way of not getting it when they should but you can’t help but suspect that guys sometimes do get it all wrong. I will not concern myself with the naive women who simply put [...]

Karma: Retribution concepts

My favourite Google define result for Karma: “Known also as the law of cause and effect or the law of retribution-karma is the principle that every action, good or evil, will eventually return to impact a person’s life.”
So there it is like we all know; action and reaction; cause and effect; every good and bad [...]

Feeling Indispensable?

We are a special breed. We are good at what we do. We are proactive, we challenge the status quo, we like to be in the mix, we cherish innovation and creativity, we are quick to learn and adapt. As a reminder, this note is not for the lazy, the passive or the bench warmers. [...]

Bells of Freedom

Lovely song for peeps who can’t quit:
I have walked all alone
On these streets, I call home
Streets of hope, streets of fear
Through the sidewalk cracks, time disappears
I was lost, on my knees
On the eve of defeat

You think you’ve got it bad?

So sure at certain times you believed you were in a bad situation. You constantly think you deserve more than the world today offers you. You wonder why you can’t have most of what you want. The money is just never enough to wade through the demands of your so called middle class live. Yeah [...]

If Heaven was a mile away

If heaven was a mile away
Would you do some good today
Would that take your pain away
Would you rush towards its gates

My 2 Cents

Your life is the story created by the choices you have made and their additive consequences.
