A Dash of Life. - HATE.

Some people hate you for a valid reason, you've wronged them somehow. But that person that hates you for no reason at all is a disease! The devil knows that they have a wicked heart and he uses them as a tool to get at you. So at every step of the way that person will hate. Let's say you and  your friends go out and the bill comes to $500, if you pay $20 they'll call you cheap, if you pay $400 they'll say "you are showing off, or call you big shot". No matter what you do they will seek to destroy your soul and make your existence a horrible experience. Once you identify who this person is, you must cut them off from your network immediately! Don't be mad, be glad that God has exposed them for who they really are, the devil was hoping that you remained blind and oblivious to that wolf in sheep's clothing.                                                                                                                         -Bobby Stone-

“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”

Unless you are willing to drench yourself in your work beyond the capacity of the average man, you are just not cut out for positions at the top.

In Honor Of

February has come to an end. In this short month that featured tons of fashion in NYC, love, great TV, and bitter weather... there was also significant black history to be recognized. If you know me personally, you already know that I share a Quote of the Day during the week with my friends (which I will also begin to share with you here in Blogger Land). Since the beginning of February I've featured quotes from extraordinary Black leaders,writers, actors entertainers..etc in honor of this historic month. Here are some of my favorites, Enjoy...

*If you have no critics, you have no success.- Malcolm X

*God and nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always the great law: Let the sky and God be our limit and eternity our measurement.- Marcus Garvey

*We all suffer from the preoccupation that there exists in the loved one, perfection.

- Sidney Poitier

*Hold fast your dreams, for without them life is broken winged bird that cannot fly.

-Langston Hughes

*I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will never forget how you made them feel.- Maya Angelou

*Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. - Harriet Tubman.

Fearless

This is one of My Favorite Quotes,it reminds me to be bold even when I'm a little doubtful- how does it make you feel??
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” –Maryanne Williamson
