©IT'S BEEN PAST TIME TO THINK SMARTER!!!

Very few people have the strength to be independent & do their own thing regardless of what everyone else is doing

By nature, humans are very social beings & have a strong need to fit in & be accepted 

God gave us the gift of a very complex languages so we can interact & communicate on a higher level than other creatures on our planet, (in certain ways).

Humans love communication, love companionship
& love to be around each other, especially LIKE MINDED & LIKE ACTING company

We, like any other animal, learn from what we experience through our senses from the first day we was born

People want to follow & mimic what we think is
"Cool" or "For Me"

They say: "Imitation is the highest form of flattery."

Those who imitate, also want to be flattered, people seek recognition for the things we either really are good at, want to be good at, or perceive ourselves as being good at

Sometimes that need for recognition drives people to excel at what they do in a good way, for others, that need for recognition drives people to excel at things that are BAD & hurt others

It's easy for people to end up following the proverbial "Wrong Crowd," if you will...

Following, imitating, mimicking, & learning to do things that our BAD & detrimental not only to us personally, but to others as well

There comes a point in life when, after being a FOLLOWER for so long, you realize that you have to find your own path in life

We have to learn to think for ourselves, speak for ourselves, & act for ourselves,

Instead of sitting around like a dog or a parrot waiting for others to think for us & tell us what to do

My dad used to tell me: "Either make the right decisions, or you'll be in a position where someone will make decisions for you."

I found that to be very true, that's why I am in prison AGAIN!!!

I couldn't make the right decisions on my own, now I am in a place where most decsions have been made for me by administrators policy & cops

It's up to us to separate ourselves from the madness,

We have to stop worrying about what's "Cool" & what "Ain't Cool"

We have to stop worrying about fitting in with the "Wrong Crowd" & learn how to fit in with people who stay out of trouble don't hurt anybody, don't commit crimes & are going places in life

We see all day everyday people who hangout kickin it with each other all day & DON'T ACCOMPLISH A SINGLE THING!!!

They DO NOTHING BUY JOKE, LAUGH & PLAY GAMES!!!

I am talking about fully grown ADULTS here!!!

It's easy to find ourselves being lazy & nonproductive, just blowing aimlessly here & there like a leaf in the wind until we find somewhere to fall!!!

So I wonder, why do we kick it with each other all day, & don't do anything positive or productive to help better our lives, facilitate our growth & to facilitate changing our lives to be better humans

Isn't there a time when we learn from our mistakes?

Don't there come a time when we get sick of doing the same ole played out crap & getting the same ole played out results?

There has to be a time when we learn to readjust our thinking to align with what is "Normal"

We grow up watching people engage in abnormal behavior, yet we consciously accept it as socially acceptable & choose to adopt it as our own behavior

We have to be SMARTER THAN THAT!!!

GOD GAVE US BRAINS TO US so we CAN think up out the box & set examples

Think up out the box, DON'T let the box define you!!!

Thanks for your time!!!

©CONSIDERATION

It's imperative that we take into account how our words & actions affect other people

It's imperative that we take into consideration other people's situations, being aware of not stepping over their boundaries
& being sympathetic & compassionate to their situations

To just take a few moments to be considerate might seem so small, but it can make a big difference & significantly change someone's day!!!

Learn to be compassionate, learn to respect others, learn to practice good manners, learn to be polite, & stop worrying about ME, ME, ME so much!!!

It's not always about ME!!! ME!!!
ME!!!

Put your trust in God & God will take care of you!!!

Take the time to think about how you can do something for someone else, it could be small, it could be big, that's not what matters

What matters is that: YOU DID SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE ELSE!!!

We worry too much, we fret too much, we stress too much

Sometimes those feelings & emotions interfere with how we act & how we deal with others

We let our own personal problems interfere with our social lives & we can hurt people & run off good people: friends, family, & associates because of that

We need to get a better grasp on how to properly treat people...learn how to see the consequences of our actions

Not only foresee the consequences of our actions, but also to have enough sense to FEAR putting ourselves in situations where we have to suffer the bad consequences of our BAD actions


Or JUST as importantly, or sometimes even MORE IMPORTANTLY foresee & FEAR how our BAD actions can HURT other people!!!

It's imperative that you carry yourself with a badge of: dignity, honor, respect, & legitimacy

Don't confuse high Self Esteem with: Ego, Arrogance, Pride, Gaudiness & Haughtiness

Teach yourself to be confident, yet also always be humble, don't raise yourself up on a plateau & lower others to being in a TRENCH

DON'T LOOK DOWN your nose at other people!!!

Be quiet, don't be the loudest person in the room, don't seek attention & to be noticed...

Seek to blend in & observe the environment, be calm, peaceful, tranquil,

Don't emulate & mimic the ways of the loud, obnoxious, vulgar, attention seekers

Life is not a popularity contest, don't try to be cool, fly, hip, hard, or none of that

Like they said in that car commercial:
"Be you! everyone else is already taken"!!!

Return to the Nature that God created you on, which is the RIGHT PATH!!!

Be HUMANE

Treat others as precious commodities, whom you cherish 
And take good care them of like they your most prized possession

BE HUMBLE & FEAR GOD!!! As he should be feared

Do not die unless you are in a state of SUBMISSION to GOD!!!

©WHAT'S RIGHT? WHAT'S WRONG?

Return to the Nature that God created you on, which is the RIGHT PATH!!!

What is the right path?

What is the wrong path?

What is your path?

You can only go in one direction at a time, unless you are being ripped apart...pieces of you flying in all directions....

So either you are going forward on the right path...

Or you're going backwards on the wrong path!!!

Or you are being ripped to pieces & thrown all over he place!!!
with no particular direction, neither here nor there...

Will call that "Sitting On The Fence." 

We are so accustomed to doing things the wrong way, the right way seems alien & foreign to us

We refuse to accept that our beliefs, ideologies, practices, actions, & behavior are wrong

When a different way is introduced we immediately become belligerent, reject it with hostility defiance & deny that possibly IT COULD BE THE TRUTH!!!

Is it plausible & possible that YOUR PATH IS NOT THE TRUTH?

Is it plausible & possible that you could open your mind to exploring another path?

Is it plausible or possible that you can open your heart, mind, eyes, & ears to try something new?

Is it plausible & possible for you to EXPAND your thoughts beyond the confines of the normal realm of existence that you operate in?

Operate in an atmosphere that's condusive to enhancing your & other people's horizons

Work in a platform that encourages intellectual thought from each other

Driving a vehicle that carries innovation, creativity, originality as it's main cargo

Stimulating growth & acknowledging other's have a right to their own personal identity, thoughts, beliefs, opinions & ways of operating

What happens when opposite paths collide?

Do they become enemies & divide

Do they merge together & happily coincide?

Who, or what are the factors that decide?

When faced with adverse paths can we take take it all in stride?

On whom can a person struggling to find the path of TRUTH confide?

©STRIVE TO STAY ALIVE
(KEEP PUSHIN)

Every battle you win is another victory to be proud of in this struggle

Not every victory has to be big, even the smallest victory counts

In it's self it's a whole nother battle to keep sane, not loose control, not snap & be overcome by the pressures of being on these situations

It is a battle to keep from bowing down, then eventually falling flat & laying down under the weight
of the immense pressure

It is a battle to try to run & hide from the pain, to let yourself be pacified by the games, TV, music, social distractions like telling war stories, gossip about what's goin on in here & out there on the streets

Even though some see this as the end as a: DEAD END...we are still alive, & everyday is a new day

Everyday is a new opportunity to: LIVE, breathe, enjoy the days we have left, embrace new challenges, reinvent yourself, recreate yourself & chase after your goals

Maybe to the outside world, we are DEAD, but IN FACT we are fully alive & thriving in the struggle to survive

The question is: "Do you have what it takes to overcome the obstacles & win the battles?"

Everyday is a struggle between choosing to follow the rules or choosing to break them

Everyday is a struggle between right & wrong

What decisions do we make?

Do we make the right decisions?

Do we make the wrong decisions?

How do we decipher the difference between right & wrong decisions?

What makes it right? Because the prison politics & "Convict mentality?"

What makes it wrong? Because some administrators in Head Quarters said it was wrong?

Is it right because we are NOT doing what someone told us is wrong?

Is it wrong because we are NOT doing what someone told us is right?

Everyday is a struggle to stay on the path, to keep the head above the water, NOT TO give up, & NOT TO throw in the towel when the chips is DOWN!!!

When tired, feeling depleted, scared, & overcome, the BEST thing to do is TURN TO GOD!!!

Then dig deep as you can inside yourself to find the strength to PUSH HARDER, AS HARD AS YOU CAN PUSH!!!

Then after you pushed as hard as you can, you: PUSH EVEN MORE!!!

NEVER GIVE UP!!!

Sometimes we are afraid of a struggle or battle, we want to take the easy way out

It don't always work that way, sometimes we are put in a BATTLE FOR OUR LIVES!!!

So then what, what do you do? Run & hide or step up to the plate & confront the struggle or battle HEAD ON?

Struggles & battles in life can't be avoided!!!

Losses can't be avoided

Setbacks can't be avoided, THOSE THINGS HAPPEN!!!

It's up to us to: ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER to keep pushing, keep fighting & CONJURE UP THE WILL TO KEEP LIVING!!!

Thanks for your time!!!
