RAISING THE BAR TO GREATNESS

We are living in a time where anything is beyond possible and that dreams are just the beginning. That if your willing to work hard and put your mind to it then you can have and achieve it. Limitations are only for those who never try or seek to fail from the start. And never really wanted to see their dreams come true. This year alone should have shown us that time is not only limited but even the great are falling to soon. That life is only a one time shot and when you get a second chance to make up for mistakes or just simply not living take it! This life is so unpredictable and we spend so much time in gossip and rumors and destroying each other we not living. The energy you putting in others lives you could be putting in your own and furthering your future and goals.

I have seen some of the most beautiful queens fall for a man and fall to pressure of the world. Your a queen and your crown was stripped for what and when are you going to get it back? We are all beautiful and we all have dreams that deserve to be seen and you never know what you can do or change. Queens who deserve to been seen as such and not looked at less then that or valued less. We are proud women and we walk with strength and courage daily but yet we fall to pressure and what the world thinks what is and should be. I'm a queen who knows what I'm worth and knows what I capable of doing in this world. Don't get me wrong there are times when I second guess myself and wonder why thing are the way they are. Why can't he see I'm the best he'll ever get, and why doesn't he know what he makes me feel? How come I'm not good enough to be his girl but I'm good enough for you to use? These questions will never be answered because the truth is I'm better and your better than that. We are more then objects of beauty we are women who generate the nations.We are women who carry the efforts of struggle on our shoulders.We are the very backbone of this nation and the mothers of the leaders, and the very women who have the power to control it. We are more then mere objects of beauty or bodies but we are the reason your still here, we need to remind our self of that!

My kings what has happen to you and why are you all acting less then that? What happen to your thrown and your pride in yourself? You want a queen but acting like a joker you'll never get one and if you do you'll lose her if you don't wake up soon! Your losing all respect and what happen to working hard and holding us up when we need you? Your crowns are being lost among players and thieves. Your queens are being destroyed by neglect and insecurities they are losing the very beauty and innocents we need in this world. We need to remind you that your kings and if you want to be treated that way step up!

We need to learn that if you have haters your doing things right,because haters only come when your doing something great. Hard work comes when the dream is great and the greater the dream the harder the work. Nas had a song name You Can Hate Me Now that ft. Piddy and this song proves my point let them hate. But don't let it stop your progress or work,because that is what they want. I'm on top you can either encourage me or hate either way I'm reaching that top. We need to stop hurting each other and learn to live together and start helping each other and stop tearing each other down. We all have to live in this world and if I destroy you and teach that to the future then what hope does our future have? Tell me why does it make us laugh to see others fall and why does the last word have to be so painful? We can raise the bar of greatness and change the effect we are putting into play. We can make the world a better place and a place so kings be just that kings. My queens take your place and be re-crowned as Queens that you are.

OPEN YOUR EYES, HE SPEAKS FOR US ALL

For many it's not enough to have a dream or to have a vision. For many generations the very thought of this was unheard of and even a joke. Many years of struggle and hope to just be equal was a battle in itself. Then one day came the hope of a nation and new chance to right the wrongs for all generations and races. The thought was crazy but the hope brought many to smiles and some to tears. The image of this man with brilliance not yet seen, and a vision so far from the plans before him. November 5, 2009 he became the 44th President and the leader of a falling nation, but the question wasn't if he could change the nation but when? I remember the tears in my mothers eyes and the fact my grandmother would never see this day but the prayer was complete. The work was ahead of him the struggles were just beginning for him and his beautiful family. I sat in front of my television set and saw the thousands upon thousands in the park that night in Chicago. All waiting to hear from him and the millions more that were glued to the television sets waiting to see him. I could hear the boo's from Arizona as they made the announcement, and apart of me was ashamed of the place I live.

Now when he is making changes he is being pushed harder and harder by people we never saw pressure coming from. A preacher saying over the pulpit he " hates him" such strong words from a man who should know better. The very thought of him not taking it back it's heart breaking hate for what? Now a president who cares about education is being booted out of speaking to the young minds of today. So much objection when our children are already expose to so much, I mean we will let them watch graphic shows and listen to lyrics filled with junk. Rather then have them inspired to do better by a true leader. Finally a voice that speaks directly for us is facing so much opposition these problems didn't occur over night. Guess what they won't be fixed over night either! We voted and came to together now we need to stand together for our leader and for the change we want. He can't do it alone these problems didn't happen cause of one man but do to many. Former president Bush was by far some of the worst of things in office yet people showed him more support then President Obama. Makes you wonder why we wanted change and now we have it and don't appreciate it for it's worth.

Change comes to those who fight for it
Results comes to those who refuse to leave until they see them
A struggles is a sign that your close to what you want
You never can change the world from your bed
Nor can you motivate spouting negativity
You have to inspire from actions of motivation
A leader is put to the test daily, while his follower are only tested often
Faith happens and occurs when things look the worse
We stood in lines and waited for days to get the chance to be heard
Decades of wondering when change was going to come
Tears of joy and pride fell from the eyes
Who understood what that day meant
Understood the sacrifice and pain for that moment in time
The great leaders that have passed away would never see their dreams living today
The hope that made them raise every morning for a chance at opportunity
Open your eyes he speaks for us all
It's not Black or White but a nation in trouble
Don't blame me if you let this pass
We have a chance to prove we can do better
We all have ways of doing better and making a difference
Open your eyes he speaks for us all

UNTITLED TO YOU

What does it take to show someone you love them, and really mean it too? Not the type of love that comes with benefits or gifts on the regular but the type of love that doesn't cost. Where you can just be yourself without worry if they will still be there. The kind that makes you worry when they worry, cry when they cry, but most of all feel happiness when they are happy. We sometimes get caught up in jealousy and envy with each other! Wait now truth be told I never knew you could be jealous of the ones you love. I thought that their success was a reflection of hard work and where they came from. I certainly never knew you could be jealous of the one your with and claim is your better half.

This weekend was a test for me I would like to think. I mean think about how many times you tell someone you would do anything for them. All those times you tell someone you have their back no matter what. My test was to prove how loyal I could be to that, and if I really could be the type of women that no matter what sticks by her words and promise. The type of women who would stand by her man no matter what she is told, she sees the beauty in him and his dreams. See it's hard for me to say that I trust whole hearted in someone when you have been let down you often wonder why if you can or should. The truth is everyday I open my eyes a little more and more then the day before. I don't want to miss out on love, happiness, or even just moments of joy because I'm waiting for pain or disappointments.

How far would you go for the one who holds your heart? Even if they give you no guarantee they love you back. Can you devote time to someone who holds your desires even if your not sure all the time your theirs? How long can you wait to hear that they miss you, or care about you when actions just don't seem to show anymore? Can you walk away when your not sure what your walking away from? What if it's a test to see if you'll hold on and be there in the toughest of times? Meanwhile your ready to just walk away and leave them not knowing if one day you can take that back. See I'm a strong women who has cried a lot over foolish things, but wonders if now she is being tested for the realist of things. I mean we all ask God for things, but do we really expect him to do it? However when he does were either in shock he did it or realized we don't or can't handle it. Love it's always between two people but your goals and dreams too. Can you hold on to them when everyone else says that you shouldn't?

My only fear in life is rejection without reason, I mean I can handle being told I'm not the one. Furthermore being told that I'm not ready for what it is I want, but to be left without why or even with room to fix it. I can't handle that I rather lose knowing I did everything in my power to fix it, then not having a chance at all.

"Love is not based on limits or restrictions.

However it's pushed

by the limits of ones devotion and loyalty.

The only restrictions on love is the unwillingness

to be open."

FEW WORDS

In life we say so much, but how much weight do our words really hold. I mean when we say things at the time they make sense and may even feel righteous but when we look back are they? I often wonder how many times can you say your sorry before it's pointless and meaning less? It's unquestionable sometimes the way we treat each other and how we forget that words can never be taken back. Our actions have more karma then we think and that sometimes I'm sorry doesn't cover the cost of it. I often question myself at night and wonder if I could or should have done things differently.

Furthermore I question if maybe I should have chosen a different path and selected different words. Even the smallest arguments to some mean more to others and have more weight on their hearts then we can imagine. All of my mistakes weigh on me like a heavy shadow. A shadow that I can't hide or run from most days, but all I can do is look up and hope that God sees the pain and sorry heart that I have when they don't.

The point I'm trying to make is that you will make mistakes and even put yourself in a position where your a target by accident or choice. However all you can do at the end of the day is say sorry and pray that God heard and saw your heart. See I make mistakes daily and I have a heart that is in inconstant forgive me mode, because my fear is not when I stop saying sorry, but when I stop meaning it. From my lips and heart to Gods ears and heart I hope that I always mean it and strive to do better and change my path of errors.
