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...

Until Speaks: Harbor College Gym October 2014

I received an opportunity to speak to sixteen beautiful unique young women ranging from the ages of 18 through 23 in the Harbor College Basketball Gym after their game. This took place on October 30th of 2014 at 8pm. When I was first introduced, I realized right before I went up to speak, I was heavily nervous, however when I heard my name, I easily became comfortable.  I couldn't believe it because way before getting ready to arrive, I was contemplating back and forth, praying to God every five minutes asking him to send me some words, asking him to give me the right words to speak and that he allow me to have a positive influence with great impact; and as sure as I stood up in front of  those fresh new faces, I was good to go.  I thanked them for having me, and told them my name. After my name I began with " with that being said, I'm not here to try and impress you. I'm not here to try and razzle, dazzle my words for you. I'm also not here to show o...

Until's Random Progress Report 2014

Hey everyone! Did you miss me? I missed you too. Well, I just wanted to check in and say hello to you and let you know about the updated status of me. I've been doing well. God has been blessing me back to back and although in the mist of my blessings, I've also been encountering trials, however, I choose to focus on the good. So, what's new? As some of you already know, my book; I Just Want to Write! I'm so excited because it's been doing well. However, I postponed advertising it because I"ve had to really return back my focus on the Children's Zone of the Los Angeles Black Book Expo in which I am the Youth Director for because that has become a stressful situation. We've changed venue's twice, working on getting our third, but due to no fault of our own of course. So, deposits had to be returned, and schedule rearranging became more important because not only has the venues changed a couple of times, so have the dates. Now, I'm glad ...

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...
