just fix it.

There's a saying where I'm from, that goes like this. "It doesn't matter who's right or wrong, just fix it!"

Oh, if only more people would follow that. A lot of people, especially young people get in trouble because of this one thing. They do not know how to focus on the problem and not the person. So they hold grudges, hate the parent, turn against the brother/sister, fight, or do something else crazy. All because they didn't try to be the bigger person and fix it.

There will always be problems in life. Life is not perfect, and nor are people. So when things happen between you and someone, take the initiative to fix it. Don't wait until they come back to you begging for mercy, because what if that just won't happen. You be the bigger person... Even if that means you having to apologize. Just do it.

Just fix it.

Do it.

It's not just some peoples responsibility to do the right thing, it's everyones. It's just that some people choose not to do it.

When you have a choice between right and wrong, choose right. Don't talk about someone who has done nothing to you. Don't fight someone who is only trying to help you. Don't criticize the guy in class or at work who doesn't talk, because he wants to be the best. Don't laugh at the guy who is 21 and still a virgin. Don't assume that you are right when someone else is clearly showing you a better way.

Basically what I am saying is, do what's right, not because you have to (because you don't), but because it is right. If everyones doing bad things, and you do the same, you're just a follower. You will never leave an impact in this world. But if everyone is doing wrong, and you do what's right, then you will find your self in a small group that we like to call........ different.

Wow

Sometimes it feels like all you can say is... wow.

You get a piece of news that is a shocker and you can't believe it, or someone you trusted betrays you, or someone you least expected turns there back on you, what can you say? Really, how do you respond? You may have the desire to go a rip their head off, but that won't fix it. You have to take a long sigh and just let it go. Those are the wow moments.

I'm not talking about the good wow moments. The "wooowww, I can't believe something that great just happened to me". I am talking about those moments when life just clabbered you over the head and you don't really have a fitting response. Really, no response would be quit good enough anyway. So all you can do is breath. Just let it go. Just say to yourself, "wow, I didn't expect that". Then shake it off and get back into the fight. The fight for your dreams, goals, beliefs, etc. to become a reality.

Don't let everything that happens drag you down. If it's one of those negative "wow" moments, then fine. Just get out your "wow", accept reality that YES it DID happen, and carry on. You have to just keep on ticking no matter what.

It's Better

It's much better to struggle and have people turn against you for doing something good, then to be thriving and having everyone love you for the wrong reason.

Get back on track

You can't control everything that life will throw at you. Sometimes things unexpected will happen. But you have to be prepared for whatever. And don't let yourself get off track.

There are times when you will get disappointed or feel frustrated or feel like you failed. But that is all a part of life. The most important thing you can do when that happens is get up, dust yourself off, and get back on track.

That is truly the key. You can get sidetracked, but as soon as you notice it, get back on track and do it fast. That way you will never be diverted for too long, and you will hold on to your goals.

Is it SAFE?

I have a question for you who are reading this...

Is it safe, to hang around negative people if you are trying to be positive?

Is it? Is it safe to say, "I won't do what they do, we are just cool, just friends"?

Is it safe to assume that you will be strong enough to resist the peer pressure when a friend wants to get high and you look like the lame for not wanting to?

Is it safe to think you can be in the room with that girl or guy alone and not take it any further?

Is it safe to totally ignore your studies and hope that you will be able to cram everything in during the last few months or sometimes weeks of school?

Is it safe to put all types of substances in your body and guess that you should be strong enough to handle it?

Is it safe, to play with your life???

You Choose.

Being funny, or the class clown, or the joker of the neighborhood can only take you so far. One day you have to wake up to see life is serious and your choices DO have consequences.

So either learn the easy way (from others mistakes or advice) or the hard way (through you suffering). But one way or the other, you will have to learn.

Let's keep it moving.

No matter what problems you face, or how hard it is to get to your goal. Just keep moving forward. Don't stop, don't hesitate, just keep going forward.

When things try to get in your way, just keep it moving.

The post for those who "don't feel like it"

You know, honestly, today I didn't feel like writing a blog. And I seriously contemplated not writing one at all. But then I remembered that I promised to always write one unless I absolutely could not. So here it is.

What do I wanna to say to you today...? Well, really, I don't feel like saying anything... still.

But that's just it, that's the point of this post. I am writing it even though I don't feel like it.

"What's your point?" You may ask. My point is, life is not about what you "feel" like doing, it's about doing what you need to do. Sometimes you will not feel like doing something, but you need to get it done. If you live by how you feel, you will never get things done. So enough of how you feel or what you do or do not feel like doing. Stop whining and just do what you have to do. Period. Then you will go far in life.

That's it for today, think about that and apply it.

P.S. I'm glad I did write this!

HOLLYWOOD

Check out this song. It's talking about how the media has so much influence (bad influence) these days.

This Sunday we are holding the Beatz and Barz Event in all our YPG's around the country. I will be in Houston at 6115 Southwest Freeway Houston, Texas, 77057. The event starts at 2pm sharp.

We all know music has the power to move us, but do you know where to???

Face IT!!!

Look at the picture above... What do you think?

"That's crazy!", "Oh, I would never do that", "How could she not be afraid", etc.

You know, the funny thing about children is that they have not yet been contaminated with the disease called fear.

As you get older, even little risks or dangers seem to paralyze you at times when you need to take action. But why be afraid of a challenge? Fear will never decrease the size of the challenge, it will only make it look scarier.

So remember this, when there is something big and scary approaching you (be it a big decision, change of environment, starting over again, leaving friends behind, etc), the best thing you can do is FACE IT. And face it quick. What you may discover, is that the bark was a lot bigger than the bite. Meaning, it looked much worst than it was.

Check out the New Pictures

Hi Everybody.

Scroll down the side of my blog and check out the new pictures that I have uploaded on Flicker. There are over 200 new pictures uploaded there. Just click on any of the pictures and it will lead you straight to Flicker.

Hope you like the pictures.

P.S. And remember, life is kind of like a picture, whatever you do today is recorded in time forever, and others see your living example (the way the conduct your life each day) as a picture of who you are. So if you don't want to be looked at as bad, don't act that way. If you don't want to be called a cheater, don't cheat, and so forth and so on. Whatever you do today, whether seen or not, is a stain on your life. So make sure you leave good marks and not bad ones.
