When It All Comes Down To It,

I Always Feed Myself Positivity. I Turn To Anything That Teaches Good, That Teaches Strength, And That You Can Make It. I Swear To You That Those Kinds Of Thoughts Come Alive In Your Body And In Anything You Touch Because Your Energy Goes Into Everything You Touch, Everything You Share And Everything You Speak. So, It's Most Important That You Surround Yourself With Positivity Always, And Have It In Your Mind At All Times.

There Was Our House In New Orleans. Two Blocks In Front Of Us Were These Beautiful Mansions And Two Blocks Behind Us Were The Ghetto, Projects, And That's Where I Had To Go To School, But I Would Always Pattern My Life Looking Forward. It Was Almost Literal.

I Thank God For Closed Doors

What I've Found About It Is That There Are Some Folks You Can Talk To Until You're Blue In The Face--they're Never Going To Get It And They're Never Going To Change. But Every Once In A While, You'll Run Into Someone Who Is Eager To Listen, Eager To Learn, And Willing To Try New Things. Those Are The People We Need To Reach. We Have A Responsibility As Parents, Older People, Teachers, People In The Neighborhood To Recognize That.

I Totally Give Credit To God For All Of This Stuff, Because If I Had Tried To Make These Things Happen, I Couldn't Have. To Have All These Things Happen Has Been Absolutely Amazing. The Road That I'm On Is A Path That I Didn't Choose. It Chose Me. I'm Just Trying To Walk It, And To Do The Best That I Can To Honor And Respect It.
