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...

Poetry, Spoken Word, Hip-Hop; which one?

So many people ask this question, which one? I ask, why do we have to choose? I say, I love them all, and to be honest, I am all. I do all. I started writing poetry at the age of twelve, starting writing rhymes at the age of fourteen and performing them at the age of eighteen. As for spoken word, I began that journey at age fifteen. You see, I’m in a generation of all and I see nothing wrong with that. I believe that they are all great mediums for whatever your gift can be utilized and/or transformed through. I feel that it’s whatever one feels most comfortable doing, which one comes natural or whatever is your preference. I also believe that neither one is better than the other, they are all beautiful, they all evoke different modes, messages, feelings and era of times for a variety of people. And not only that it kind of steams me to know that people want other’s to choose between the three because the truth of the matter is; if you’re gifted enough, talented enough, great enough, yo...

Stressing about what ain't....

Hey everyone! How are you? I hope all is well. Well, I just want to share a quick thought with you. You know what I love about life sometimes? Is that sometimes someone can bring something to your attention and make you think it's something to worry about--and of course because you're a smart person, you don't just take their word for it you go and check it out for yourself. Only to find that it was nothing to worry about at all. All this time I was "Stressing about what ain't" and I feel so much better. The moral is, make sure you check things out for yourself, no matter how credible you think your source may be; because you  might find that it wasn't everything it was all hyped up to be. Have a great day! Until...
