In the video above, Michael Jordan shares his story of trials and tribulations that he chose to overcome in order to be successful. "Failure gave me strength, mypain was my motivation", Jordan says. A few words of wisdom he gives are as follows:
Determination. Don't be afraid to try! Half of being smart is knowing what you're dumb at! A change in your mentality can change your life.We all have dreams, but in order to make dreams into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, & discipline.
Nothing to fear, but fear itself. The fear of failure isn't a fear of failure at all, it's the fear of criticism. You must learn to accept change. Accepting change shows a sign of maturity and allows you to experience a more fulfilling life. Opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye, but regret can last a lifetime. Winning starts inside you, long before it actually happens!
Take the chance! Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them! You will find that they don't have half the strength you think they have. Your life doesn't get better by chance, it gets better by change! Achievement demands disciple!
Become legendary! Put old feelings and worries in the past so you can make progress and move forward in life. Every day we have at least one opportunity to help a friend, a loved one, or even a stranger. It's our responsibility to do as we can!
You miss every shot you don't take! Life opens up when you do! Be optimistic and positive in all that you do. Whatever you base your character and morals around determines the amount of success you'll have. If you really want something, and really work hard & take advantage of opportunities and never give up, you will find a way.
What will be your shot? When inspiration strikes, GO WITH IT! Be the first to share with your friends and family, when, where and how you want.
Look at the bright side! Compassion is the desire that moves the individual self to expand the scar of its self concern to embrace the whole universal self , success is not final and failure is not fatal ; stand STRONG and be optimistic.
The only person that can stop you is you! Only you can stop yourself from doing what it takes too accomplish your desires ; to overcome obstacles it takes persistence. You have to refuse to let ANYTHING stand in your way. Eliminate any conditions that has fear or negativity standing over you.
Rise to the challenge. Be willing to do anything if by any means you can arouse your challenge accepting abilities you can again feel a surge in your motivation level. Work hard , choose wisely , grow from problems , and last but not least fight for your dream.
Success is inside you ! Attitude , belief , commitment , tolerance , and realization teaches us definite purposes. Embrace your failure and perceive it as a lesson. Be your own motivation success isn't just inside you, success is you.
Exercise your mind! To meet success, you have to plan for it. Even if it's just jotting down ideas on a napkin. Let the messages you have seen marinate in your mind & in your soul.
Stay true to yourself there's no shortcuts to success. Always remain true to yourself , the moment you stop is the moment you submit to things others want you to do. Be yourself , encourage yourself , the circle of success is waiting!

As the excitement for Chicago Bulls basketball grows in the heat of the playoff race fans can't help but to wonder "where is Derrick?". Rose has only been on the sidelines with the rest of his teammates twice out of forty-one home games that the Bulls have played--hopefully it was because he was still rehabbing. It has officially been a year since the MVP caliber point guard D. Rose has played on the court for the team. Reports by team doctors a while back said that Rose was at no greater risk to get injured any more than the rest other players on the team. Although Derrick has been cleared to play by his team doctors months back, many think the real reason is beyond any physical limitation. Rose has to become confident in himself, in his abilities, & in his body before #TheReturn can actually come to fruition. Let's keep D.Rose in our prayers!
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Two killed and 50+ wounded this afternoon in Boston. As bombs were planted in places along the finish line of this years Boston Marathon in what is believed by many to be a form of a terrorist attack but that has not yet been confirmed as so. Seen in the video above the blast was strong enough to knock runners and by standers to the ground. Luckily these bombs detonated after the Marathons nearly 2,000 runners had already crossed the finish line. Still, keep the victims and their loved ones in your prayers #PrayForBoston
It pains me to not be present to attend such a meaningful moment for a person with such a loving and beautiful heart and spirit, but I know it pains his family more than anyone else could ever imagine. Due to the unexpected passing of a close friend of mine Wayne Drummer -whom was stabbed to death by his girlfriend of 5 years in her St. Petersburg apartment- his family and close friends are asking that people come out and offer their condolences and support as we all grief such a tragic event. There will be a candle light memorial outside of 785 Regent Dr, Dekalb, IL tonight at 6 p.m. sharp. If you're in Dekalb and knew of Wayne, I ask that you go to pay your respects. Being that his body remains in Florida, his family is asking that people donate and/or contribute money to help the family cover the expenses of the cost to have him shipped back to Chicago for a proper home going.Anything is greatly appreciated, no amount is too little or too much. If you cannot make it to the memorial, you can still donate by going to www.giveforward.com/fundraiser/fl72/bringanangelhome. We love you Wayne, and you'll live on through the memories of so many people! I will forever cherish every minute we shared and you'll always have a special place in my heart. We've lost a soldier but God gained yet another one of His angels. Gone but never forgotten, RIP my good friend Wayne!
Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.
"The Importance of Becoming the 'Village' That Helps Raise Black Children"
In the U.S alone, more than 21 million children are growing up in single-parent households. Among African American children, it's slightly more than 48 percent. There is a NEED for Black men and women both to step up and become that "village" that raises these children. We can do so be volunteering to mentor and helping out in the community. We are not goons & savages, we are the Kings & Queens of our future!!
A good example has twice the value of good advice. There are many people (including myself), that have had an idea of what it is that they want to do or accomplish, but don't know the correct way of going about doing so... My advice to those of you is to find you a mentor. According to Dictionary.com, a mentor is defined as a teacher, supporter, or a wise and trusted counselor. We all have dreams and desires, however; in order to make those dreams into reality, it takes an awful lot of dedication, determination, and discipline. Visions are never fully formulated, they develop with time. Ask yourself if what you're doing today is getting you closer to where you want to be tomorrow? Half of being smart is knowing exactly what you're dumb at. That's where your mentor comes into play! Mentor-ship is positioning your heart to receive God through a person. To succeed you need to find something to hold on to, something to inspire you, something to motivate you. YOU are the master of your faith and the captain of your soul! Be with wise men and become wise, be with evil men and become evil. The best way to become better, is to surround yourself with others that are doing better. Your life doesn't get better by chance, it gets better by change! No matter how long you've traveled in the wrong direction, you ALWAYS have the choice to turn around! When you work at your job, you make a living...but when you work on yourself, you make a FORTUNE!
A very powerful poem, to say the least. Jazmine Mckinney speaks on the children on Chicago and the everyday obstacles and battles that our youth fight to survive daily. At some point, we have to stand up and acknowledge the root of the problem when it comes to violence and Chicago murder rates. Is there any hope for our youth? Or will we continue to sit back and witness them kill one another off? Take the time to listen, be educated, and be inspired! If you don't do anything else, please share this video to help bring awareness to the everyday struggle of our youth today. #BeInspired!!
Take a look as Will Smith explains how having success starts from within yourself. There's no cutting corners with excellence! It takes a lot of dignity and self- respect to stay true to your values when it seems like everyone else around you have none, but its worth it! To be great, you have to be willing to be mocked, to be hated and misunderstood. Your life will become better by making others lives better. If success is important enough to you, you'll make it happen...if it's not, you'll make an excuse. By training our minds, we are capable of transcending our instinctive behaviors. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. Find something you're really interested in doing in life. Pursue it, set goals, and commit yourself to excellence. Only be concerned with those weaknesses that will get in the way of your success. Become the best YOU that you can be! Become AntiWeak!
Chicago's own Lupe Fiasco takes the time to mourn over angel Jonylah Watkins in his latest release "Jonylah Forever" . The track is passionate and heartfelt to say the very least. The truth behind the song is, we go and live our lives after hearing such a tragic event but what about the loved ones of this innocent 6-month-infant? How does her mother move on from this? There was a whole future ahead of this little one's life and that was taken away from her without a second thought over foolish a gang-related beef. Is this what's cool? How many of our angels have to die in vain before we WAKE UP and realize that we are killing our own future!? If we don't get it together, soon they'll be no more of us left. Is there any hope for the future? I believe so, but it takes brother and sisterhood; unity. BE A MAN & PUT THE GUNS DOWN! Take a stand and make a difference for our youth, if not for ourselves. Live because Jonylah couldn't! Rest In Paradise baby girl.

Cruel isn't even the word! In no way, shape, or form does any child and certainly no infant deserves to be shot and killed! When is enough going to be enough? When does the violence and the "drilling" of our own race stop being glamorized and glorified?! Chicago has seen a rise in gun violence- much of it being gang-related - and registered at least 500 homicides last year for the first time since 2008. In 2011, there were 435 homicides. Young African American males should wake up and realize that a life is a prized possession. Since when did it become our jobs as humans to decide who lives and who dies? Men need to step up and play the role in the community as the leaders, the fathers, the role models to the younger generations to come. Violence has been going on for years and is yet and still being looked upon as the way to go. When will we realize that we are the future? We cannot teach what we don't know, and that's why it's important for us to lead by example, to take the role as the adults and to straighten up our acts. How many more innocent victims are going to have to lose their lives before we realize that our media plays a HUGE part in our generation today? Nowadays, parents are having to bury their children left and right? Men need to realize that the street life only gets you one or two places, dead or in jail. Men need to realize that their actions affect their families, friends and loved ones as well as themselves. Ask yourself would "drilling" and being a "hitta" still be cool if this was your child, grandchild, or family member? My condolences go out to the angel's family, this is a pain no parent should have to feel. We must take a stand and be the change we wish to see!
