The Power of Words

From Rick Ross to Lil Wayne, rappers are catching flack about their socially insensitive lyrics. But when do words cross the line and should lyrics be policed?

E.X.A.C.T.L.Y.

Combating oppression with EXPRESSION.

Favorite song right now. Makes me happy. I can sleep to it. I can wake to it. All-over delicious.

We all feel an impulse to self-medicate from time to time. The desire to escape is part of the human experience. We try different methods and we use them to different degrees. But we all use them.

There's another way! It's about not relying on an outside source to feel good on the inside. You have to start cultivating your own happiness from within. You are your own key--not him or anyone or anything else!

I hope you are jumping for joy right now!

Why?

Because this means that you are in the driver's seat! Your joy is in your hands and no one else's. You have complete control. (And I know how stoked you are to be in control!)

Find your "Soul Full" place

Here's the deal: there is a place inside all of us that knows we are 100% complete as we are. I call this place soul. We spend such a small amount of time living in our souls that we forget they actually exist.

But your soul does exist, and all it needs is a little attention from you. See if you can find it right now. It's the place in you that knows you're meant for greatness. It's the place in you that wants to make a difference. It's the place in you that is dying to live a fuller life.

Practicing living "Soul Fully" does not mean giving up feeling giddy or joyful or in love with him or anything else. You still get those doses of real love and joy, in fact, you're going to get more of them.

What it does mean, though, is you will not feel dependent on him for happiness. When he leaves you (literally or figuratively), you'll remain connected to your wholeness. You aren't going to loose your s#*t!

If you practice being guided by your soul, you are always going to know, on the deepest level, that you are more than OK; and then you'll really understand what it means to find true love.

Metaphysically bold.

To rekindle is to feel pain.

"My stimuli is provided by my endorphins"

We were all married to states of mind we divorced.

fear not of man because man must die.

To break through might take two.

Life is foggy, trying to see through the midst of it. Situation: delicate.

What am I doing? Oh yeah, I'm doing ME.

If you really understand what your mind can do, you'd be uncomfortable -Lil B.

"Life is a gift to be enjoyed every second. It is temporal, not infinite."

Be strong, make it out of poverty, then holler back.

The hood is where my heart is at.

Expectations are resentments waiting to happen.
