Detective Zack Monstar The scene, the shots and the blood ------ It was like deja vu. No matter how he tried, remnants of his past always caught up with him. Flashing bulbs snapped him back, and he could see himself in the next day's paper, head down, sitting beside the body, with the headline 'Black Youth Dies at the hands of police.'
When swelling and pride come, then emptiness and shame come also, but with the humble [ those who are lowly, who have been pruned or chiseled by trial, and renounce self ] are skillful and godly Wisdom and soundness. God ~ The Bible, Proverbs 11:2 [AMP]
"The eagles who soar through the sky are at rest And the creatures who crawl, run, and creep.
I know you're not thirsty. That's bullshit. Stop lying.
Lie the fuck down, my darling, and sleep."

"But rather, when I talk about positive energy I'm referring to the optimism, trust, enthusiasm, love, purpose, joy, passion, and spirit to live, work, and perform at a higher level; to build and lead successful teams; to overcome adversity in life and at work; to share contagious energy with employees, colleagues, and customers; to bring out the best in others and in yourself; and to overcome all the negative people (whom I call energy vampires) and negative situations that threaten to sabotage your health, family, team, and success."

“ … I’m going to ask you to SHIFT (Seeking His Information For Transformation) ;0) The enemy would want you to focus on what you lost to rob you of the joy of being thankful for another day. In all things give thanks! It’s not option it’s a command. Thanksgiving drives the enemy away because he can’t stand praise. It is a weapon that allows the enemy to back up off you.”

"One of the reasons inequality gets so deep in this country is that everyone wants to be rich. That’s the American ideal. Poor people don’t like talking about poverty because even though they might live in the projects surrounded by other poor people and have, like, ten dollars in the bank, they don’t like to think of themselves as poor. It’s embarrassing." ~Jay-Z, Decoded {Where I'm From}
" Even though I have a feeling that sooner or later it's all going to crash, I still accept Richard's [Pryor] friendship. He is irresistible."

"What were lacking the most is living for others. Most of us want someone to give us something, add something to our lives ... We don't have NEW great leaders anymore because most of us don't understand what a movement is. Don't be a hype, be a movement! Put others first, your immediate family doesn’t count!"
- Darren Vincent
