“You have to enjoy it. If you enjoy it, you’ll be able to perform to the best of your ability.” - Jack Wilshere
“You win some, you lose some;
That’s just how it happens;
Somebody steps up to you, then you gotta scrap ‘em;
Your name is all you got”
Boo hoo. Sad story. Black American dad story.
It’s our world. It’s just us two.
So much fighting going on at the crib
You’d talk me down when I’d lose it
Just another kid going through life so worried that I won’t be accepted
But I could do anything
you said that and you meant that
You took me places, you spent that
they said “no”, and we went back
Checks bounced, but we bounced back
I’ll put all the money in your accounts back
And I thank you
I don’t know where I’d really be without that,
It worked out, mom, you deserve it.
Look what you’ve done for me.
You knew I was gon’ be somethin’, so;
When you stressed out and you need somethin’
I got you.

Morning Inspiration - 9/26/11
I just got one last thing, I urge all of you, all of you, to enjoy your life, the precious moments you have. To spend each day with some laughter and some thought, to get you’re emotions going. To be enthusiastic every day and as Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Nothing great could be accomplished without enthusiasm,” to keep your dreams alive in spite of problems whatever you have. The ability to be able to work hard for your dreams to come true, to become a reality.
