WHAT?......that's the question I ask wen I hear people complain about the situation of things without trying to make a change...just bitch all day longgggg!!! The next guy is wack , the lyrics are not tight, the government is messed up, the road to our streets are bad, there are too many area boys on our roads, the salary we earn is too low,....the list goes on and on. Don't you feel ashamed sometimes? Why?...What did you do to try and change it? What did you give to try and save what you have?

Everybody knows there is a problem but they are waiting for somebody to fix it while somebody is waiting for anybody while in the end nobody does anything........WHY?....WE ALL COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING!!!!!

Its means nothing and is no sacrifice when you give from the abundance of your pocket...WHY? It was comfortable to do it! True sacrifice is giving in discomfort...is giving up that which you would rather have not in the expectation of a great reward but in the satisfaction that your gift no matter how small cost you something that thing being a part of your soul which is true for the price was pain for that which you desired but for the love which your heart felt even if for an instant while the gift was given in the expectation that this LITTLE gift would go a long way in putting a smile on the face of another..joy to a few if not many. REMEMBER THE PARABLE OF THE WIDOW THAT GAVE ALL...

There were three boys who were undergoing training with a boss that was stern but just. One day, the boss called all three boys into his office to tell them about his plans to travel. He carefully explained to them what he wanted done and how. He then brought out a large bag from a safe he had hidden in the office. He told the boys that though he was traveling for just a month, he was not so sure of what could happen so just as a precautionary measure he was going to give them all some money to trade with. The boys were shocked that this stern man could place so much trust in them so much in fact that he would let them see where his safe was! All said and done the boss left but not before sharing out the money in the order of their age. To the first and oldest he gave 100k while the second he gave 50k and to the last he gave 20k.

A month passed by and true to his word the stern boss did return and he immediately summoned the boys asking them what they had done with the money he gave them before he traveled. The first who was given 100k declared that he had invested in shares with a turn over that was mad because he followed the stocks closely to know which was going to appreciate and which was going to depreciate thereby buying low and selling high making a profit of 200k! The boss was pleased and gave him a raise in salary plus he converted the money into shares in his company and made him a share holder and junior executive! The second who was given 50k declared a profit of 100k after making his investment in fast food and locally produced beverages. The boss was pleased and set up an arm to produce fast food and beverages and made him a shareholder and group head for that division. The third who was given 20k gave back the money in the same notes as he was given and when asked what happened he merely replied by saying how much of a trickster the boss could be and also a cheat trying to milk people till they died from work so he kept the money in a safe so that he would come back and find his money safe and sound! Well your guess is as good as mine as to what happened...[wink!]

The moral of the story being..? WHAT do you do with the little or nothing you feel you don't have? Do you invest and grow or do you stay stagnant and complain? Do you see something you don't like and wish you could change? Go ahead!!! change it! It's in our minds that we stay limited!

I DON'T HAVE MONEY, I DON'T KNOW BIG PEOPLE, I CANT SPEAK IN PUBLIC, I DON'T THINK ITS THAT IMPORTANT....EXCUSES!!!!!

It may all be true but if you are reading this right now then please pardon me but ...SHUT UP!

WHY ARE WE FRIENDS????

YOU HAVE A VOICE AND MILLIONS OF FRIENDS AROUND THE WORLD THAT CAN HELP SO QUIT COMPLAINING!!!

LET YOU VOICE BE HEARD!!

YOU ARE IMPORTANT...THAT'S WHY YOU ARE HERE!!

TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH IS EXPECTED.THAT YOU ARE ALIVE MEANS THAT YOU ARE A REASON FOR SOMEONE OUT THERE TO LIVE AND BE INSPIRED!

YOU, MY PAL, HAVE PLENTY......YOU HAVE A VOICE!!!

YOU HAVE FRIENDS......TALK TO THEM....FACE BOOK IT!!!
