And So Began Our Reign

Stop talking, start doing.
Keep doing, start talking.
Stop running, start chasing.
Stop worrying, start planning.
Stop depending, just do it.
Matthew 6: 25-34
Stop uncertainty, get familiar.
Little things can make a big difference.
Tommorow is not promised.
...So I live for the moment.
The only certain thing is change.
Trouble don't last always.
It woulda been me, it coulda been me, it shoulda been me.
I live everyday in the overflow.
Ain't nothing to it, but to do it.
Chase with the intention to catch.
What he eat don't make you s___.
If you don't stand for something then you'll fall for anything.
Don't have your lights out, be a lighthouse for someone else.

More later.

words of wisdom

Words of wisdom do not always come from TD Jakes, Joel Olsteen or Yolanda Adams. often they come from your next door neighbor, Ms Mary, or your supervisor or from the most unlikely of places. I've found plenty of times that I've gotten the words I needed from somewhere I didn't expect it or from the person I didn't expect it from and it's always come right on time. Other times it comes from those who have the most influence in my life. But it's all good work.

God works through people.

With no further delay, words of wisdom. Pay close attention.

Tootie's Quoute of the Day

God's will be done.
We live in fear of the unknown, but if we knew the unknown what would we
live for?
Don't regret any of your yesterdays because they let you be who you are
today.
Don't cherish WHAT you have in your life, but cherish WHO you have in your
life.
Never [mess] over those who help [you] because everytime someone helps you it
takes from them.
Don't expect of others what you aren't willing to do yourself.

You only deserve what you're willing to work for.
