Chasing Lost Dreams

Below is a poem that I wrote many years ago. I was homeless working two part time jobs; all while attending college. It was my first semester. I was the first person in my family to ever attend college. The only support I had was my own. I became homeless because of my selflessness. But I maintained A's in school do to my perseverance. I was chasing my lost dreams, hoping that success was around the next bend.

Chasing Lost Dreams

I've been homless

but never nameless

To tell the truth

I've been kind of shameless

but never pride less

Chasing lost drams wit' the nameless

Wit' a thirst to be famous

Chasing lost dreams, running

Chasing lost dreams, gating

I've been on my grind cousin

Like Lupe Fiasco kick, pushing

Off of dreams dreams so astonishing

Dreams

None but me acknowledging

I've been chasing dreams

That compliment

My imaginations extent

"Matrix" themes and "Dogma" elements

For me

An angel

GOD must have sent

or I am just heaven sent

'Cause despite all odds

I'm still breathing

Though life's been hard

I'm still hoping

That I'm gonna be alright

Everyday I tell folks

They gonna be alright

Simply put GOD first

and slight man to the right

They say he's good at encouragement

and his will seems tight

But the truth is

I'm dreamless

and I don't know how I sleep at night

Learn to Love Yourself: Fight For Your Furture

This might sound cliche but it's the bold truth, that you have to fight for what you want. And the harder you scuffle the closer you come to obtaining it. That goes from everything in life from job promotions, respect in a relationship, equality among peers and on and on. Sometimes the battle is to move forward or away from someone or something. Never stop fighting. If you do that means you have let down your guard. If you let down your guard you give away the control you have over your life. This is part two of my "Learn to Love Yourself." Series. In part one I helped you find your true worth. This time around I will prepare you to become a warrior so you can brawl for it all. "Some people die at age 25..." - Benjamin Franklin. I first heard that quote from the world renowned Les Brown. The quote means some people give up on there true aspirations and dreams at age 25. Some people that we deem to be successful aren't exactly happy. This ...

Never Stop Believing - Maintain Your Faith

There comes a time in a man's life whereas he must yield to a greater power and let GOD lead him. Many people are to egocentric, bull headed or simply to afraid to act on GOD's word. Thank goodness I was not. 1 year ago to this date I asked my father in heaven for guidance and he answered me swiftly. I was working in a career path that I grew in financially fast, but I was unhappy and very stressed. To the point I felt I was getting ulcers. The stress level raised so high one day I got of from a long day of work and parked my work van. I got out of my vehicle to stretch and I passed out. I woke up about 3 minutes later with scrapes on my left arm and face. It was after office hours no one would have found me till the morning time if I had not regained consciousness. I realized I had to make a drastic change toward a positive direction in my life. Walking in blind faith I started a new leaf on life and i...

One Step At A Time

I don't know what tomorrow holds for me, but I know I have to take it one step at a time. I woke up this morning tired and weary. I am fighting the flu yet I stayed up late last night working on my newest entrepreneurial venture . I have to get up and go to school. I have to continue to build my Smart Home startup website. I have to fiqure out what to write for this blog. Notice I kept repeating that "I have to". That is me willing myself to do. I make them my priorities. Starting a small business and still dealing with my everyday life is a major juggle. This post is for all those worrying about tomorrow. Have faith that a power higher then you will be your guide. All around my home are positive affirmations; hung on walls, on the shower curtains, on the side tables. It's interesting because these symbolisms where put up by my girlfriend, and she doesn't even like affirmations. She is the type that is just naturally...
