Nothing to Something



"People surprise you. You think they gone be a nothing and they turn out to be a something"

--Curtis Jackson's Grandfather












I was watching the "Behind the Music" of Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson and I caught the above quote from 50 Cents grandfather and I gotta' say that, I like it! The reason I like that quote is because people are so quick to judge a person by their trials and tribulations, when in truth, you must go through something to have a story to tell. You must go through levels of pain in order to appreciate the joy. If you are not blessed with situations to go through and everything comes to you quite easily, how would you know to respect the struggle? Or be grateful for the struggle because it should have made you a better person (humble, responsible and quietly powerful), furthermore, why would anyone see you as GREAT?

Because in essence you would have done nothing to earn it, nothing, for anyone to follow, respect or look up to you for. GOD says "Let us make man in our own image" GENESIS 1:26, which means if you look at his life's journey, we are in so many ways like him. Hints some of these following quotes: "GOD doesn't give you anymore than you can bear" or "What doesn't kill you. Only makes you stronger" and last but not at all least one of my favorites, "GOD will never take you to what he wouldn't take you through". So with all of that said, know that GOD's favorite always have a hard time. :)

Which brings me back to the above quote "People surprise you. You think they gone be a nothing and they turn out to be a something".

Don't be so quick to judge a person by the way their life looks, just say a prayer and watch GOD do his work. Because truth be told; when GOD has a plan for you, trust and believe you will be VICTORIOUS and the one left standing because he wanted it that way and the funny thing about it is, THERE IS NOTHING THAT ANYONE CAN DO ABOUT IT; accept for, watch you. . . RISE TO THE TOP. LOL!!!

I love that!!!

Until...

Just cause you love me and I love you...

"Just cause I love you and you love me; It doesn't mean that we're meant to be" Jazmine Sullivan The above quote is the truest statement I've ever heard spoken in my life. As old as I am and as much wisdom as I've been blessed enough to collect to keep and live by. I don't think that I've ever thought about love in a relationship that way. I don't know about you, but I've been in love with two men at the same time before and it was the most difficult position I've ever been in. Because I always believed that things happen for a reason and so, it must be meant. But that's not always the case. Sometimes things are placed in your path to make you either appreciate what you already have, maybe uplift you to keep you going, or give you a hint of wisdom to do something different. Doesn't always mean that they are meant to stay in your life forever. We've all heard that saying " Some people come into your life for a life tim

Do you believe in love at first sight?

I have to say for me, I've always believed it, in a fairy tale kind of way. You know, like the way you believe in Santa Claus or the story of Cinderella, etc..., and I have to admit that though I've become older, I gotta' tell you that I, in a small way still believe in those dreamy fairy tales , call me crazy, but I do! I mean even though I learned that my family was the actual (Santa Claus) I still believe, in that story. But with that being said, I always believed that love at first sight indeed happens. I just never believed it could or actually would happen to me, in my life. I encountered this years ago, it was one of the most amazing things that has ever happened to me. I mean, I really felt like I was shot by an arrow of cupid. It happened just as simple as this; he walked in, my head was down, he asked me a question, I looked up to respond and our eyes locked ; I can't even begin to describe the feeling that entered inside of my being, my mind, my entire sou
