He said, she said… He heard this and she heard that… Well so and so said this and so and so said that..I heard so and so was this, I heard so and so was that… I heard they were going together, well I heard he was supposedly going with her and she was supposedly going with him.. Didn't he use to do this, and didn't she use to do that..

You heard ALL that through the grapevine..

We all have experienced it at one point or another whether you were the gossiper or the one being gossiped about- I CAN’T STAND GOSSIP FOLKS what about you? If you can oppose, PLEASE don’t get yourself drawn into the gossip circle.
If you are a gossiper do me a favor – Try to focus on YOU and what’s going on in YOUR life and while you’re doing that, try building up some sense of self-worth because your more than likely lacking it!

Gossip Folks have so much to say with very few known facts but yet they still talk.

Gossip Folks the majority of the time don’t even know you but insist on keeping your name in their mouths. IF they do know you, it must be something VERY intriguing about you for you to be the topic of THEIR conversation on a daily basis whether it is rumored or not.

All in agreement repeat after me:

Gossip Folks – Mind your own business, stay out of mine, AND keep my name out your mouths!

If for some reason you can’t seem to keep me off your minds, at least talk about something worthwhile!

“There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it hardly becomes any of us to talk about the rest of us.” ~Edward Wallis Hoch

Do YOU!

“Discover your own flava, then package it and present it to the world. From the way you tie your shoelaces to how you get down to business, you are your own best brand.” – Kevin Liles

Do you.. There is no need to dress like the next person, talk like the next person, or even act like the next person but rather dress, talk, and act like YOURSELF. Have your own sense of fashion, style, and “swagger” even if it seems off the wall and crazy! I will throw on a pair of Chuck Taylor’s with some dress pants and a shirt & tie in a minute and could care less what others may think because I’m MY OWN PERSON and I have my own sense of being and you should too.
Stop trying to “fit in” all the time and just be yourself. Stop trying to be a follower all the time but instead be your OWN leader. We all know the saying – Be a leader and not a follower. This was something I heard ALL THE TIME from my parents when younger and I definitely took heed to it! Recently I realized that so many people are content with sitting back and following the lead of other people but not the lead of their own path and direction in life. Some may feel that we as individuals have been conditioned in life to behave according to other people’s expectations but I personally feel that there is a limitation to that “conditioned behavior”. I’m not a puppet with my strings being pulled nor am I in that much “fear” of the outside world that I need to feel the need to conform in order to be accepted. I do understand the fact that we are ALL human, and therefore we tend to focus on the needs and wants of others in addition to how others perceive us that we lose the true core in being ourselves first. We need to learn how to not let that thought linger too long, but rather come back to reality.


Don’t Let Cash Rule..

“Greed will only trip you up. Understand that money matters, but only as a means to freedom, access, options and security for the future. Learn how to make cash work for you.” – Kevin Liles

In relation to what I mentioned above, “keeping up with joneses” plays a MAJOR role in individuals trying to follow and be like the next person. Some people find it hard to differentiate between needs and wants and therefore tend to live beyond their means in order to keep up with the next person. Just because the next person may have, doesn’t mean you need to have it too. Lead your own path, don’t follow the path of someone else.

Do YOU!!
