Face Your Fears !
What are you afraid of?
I think everybody is afraid of something.
I think everybody has some level of fear and in some respects, having a little fear is not a bad thing.
Well I was a little kid, I was terrified of the dark.
I used to sleep under the covers Because I was afraid that the monsters that I thought were under my bed would actually be able to reach me and come get me.
I was afraid that the monsters that I thought were in my closet would open up that door and come and get me.
What I learned as I grew older was that I wasn’t afraid of the monsters.
I...

Defining you
Floyd Martin
Defining you
I never met a woman like you… it's as if the Creator while creating a beauty strength and love of a mother ran out of something and pulled something unique from himself and said you should be the Apex of mothers and placed Grand in front of your title mother… lady j u you must be made of a substance called Always cuz I swear by the grace of the most high you have been there always… no matter the weather no matter the time day situation with me being at fault, you I would find lovingly at my side… your actions designed the definition of strength, you...

Do Not Be Outworked
It is dark at the moment.
6 am and I’m at my shop and there is not another soul in the parking lot.
Just me.
Doing what needs to be done.
I’m up earlier than most.
3am - 4am every single day.
I am genetically wired that way.
For some of you, that is not who you are because you say that getting up early just isn’t “your thing.”
But, if that is you, later on you’ll be the one saying that I am not where I want to be or, I am supposed to be in different spot by now.
So me a favor and stop hitting the snooze button.
Get your butt out of bed and do...

You Cannot Do It Alone
You cannot do it alone.
This is something I think that gets really misconstrued in a lot of mindsets.
People say what about the boxer who is in the ring by himself?
They are alone right?
But they’re not.
They have had trainers and other boxers help to get them to where they are now.
People say what about the surfer?
They are alone right?
But they’re not.
They had to have someone teach them how to pop up on the board.
They had to have someone show them how to read the waves.
Someone built the surfboard they are riding on. ...

Be Ready to Seize Your Opportunities:
Anybody and everybody in this generation knows of the rapper Eminem and the majority of us know his song lose yourself.
The song starts off with him just talking.
He says,
“Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted, in one moment, would you capture it, or just let it slip?”
That’s the problem with most of you out there.
That when opportunity comes, your let it slip right through your fingers.
Why?
Because you have done nothing except wait for the opportunity instead of putting ridiculous amounts of sweat equity...

Lighthouse
I am lost at see
Tsunami waves crashing around me
Not physically, but emotionally
And more profoundly
Despite the dark situation
I will be brave
Just a little ray to light my way
Then I will ride out the wave
There is no sign of a bay
There is scurvy decay
The storm wind makes me sway
Almost blows me away
Despite the dark situation
I will be brave
Just a little ray to light my way
Then I will ride out the wave
How I miss the sun
Lack of salt water on my tongue
Lack of water in...

Push Through It
Push through it.
I have to give you some insight into me before we dig into this one.
I wake up in physical pain every single day to the point where I easily could be on a pain management regiment, but I refuse to take those pills.
I deal with it.
Because I remember when I was a drug addict, waking up every day and being in grime do us emotional pain and turning to the pills and I refuse to be that person anymore.
I wake up every single day and reflect on life and the curve balls life has thrown at me ( remember we talked about curve balls a few weeks back ) and...

Millennial Mornings
Good morning millennials.
Hope all is well knowing damn well a quarter of y'all need bail from jail.
Rent pushing up good luck, I know half of y'all false upscale while three
quarters of y'all looking up from hell.
Hormones in food have you swole like Clydesdales but your parents
fridge is locked down without bail.
Widespread culture is dead.
Our generation so fed up wanting to buck our student loans cause the
government fucked up.
How do you charge $100k large to a brother with no job and cast him
to society?
Highway robbery, it's...

Wishlist (2011)
Things don't appear the way they seem
I think I'm in a dream
Blended oh so perfectly
Like peaches and cream
So blinding white just like a beam
I'm seeing the unseen
Yeah
I think this is a dream
Coz baby you enchanted me
The moment you walked into my life
You changed me into a better person
Took away my vices and strife
I really have this deep seeded need
To make you become my wife
What would it take for me to be that man in your life?
See this here is the thing
Baby I'm not playing with...

Being in Alignment
Being in alignment:
Most of you know that I have been in the automotive repair business most of my life.
One of the most important and yet often neglected types of maintenance that you can perform on your vehicle is keeping the vehicle in alignment.
Most of us perform that service when we purchase tires or have a front end component replaced because it is necessary to protect the investment that you just made.
What most of us do not do is randomly check the alignment to see if something is out of adjustment.
That’s a direct correlation to how most of us go...

Sing a song of Taj Mahal
Sing a song of Tajmahal
a fine nazm or a ghazal
Of this landmark for lovers
Ah, a lover's edifice
Complete with medieval bowers
It's a Mecca for tourists!
Tis sensational, tis exceptional
tis truly a touristy place.
Watch the shimmer of its magnificent marbled dome
Moonlight or sunlight, it glimmers of imperial chrome
It's ironical then
that though Indian-Arabian I am
I haven't yet been to this touristy place
It is truly as they must say, a lover's shrine
a place...

(ME)
"Good morning day"...
(THE DAY)
"How are you today?"
(ME)
I'm fine as I in bed,
Cozy lay...
"Haha"... "Yes, I'm a sleepy head"...
I don't want to get up as I start to shiver
your day is so chilly
I hope I don't get a nasty fever
I'm trying to think silly
but it's hard to as you wintry me deeper...
Makes me sleepy as I try avoiding the cool floor
Being so exhausting cold
it's not easy to simply ignore
As I wish I had someone to hold
They'd keep me warm and more
