Let's be Creative

Hey you guys,

Feeling the need to post something more on the LIGHTER side....

You know, I realized something (with the help of someone, LOL, not ashamed) that all of us no matter who we are, posses some kind of talent or gift. Sad thing is, only about 25% (not actual statistic) actually use them to their fullest ability. I think if we as individuals would put more focus on those things we want to accomplish, our lives would be much better. Upset that you don't make enough money??? Put your talent to work. Want a better life for you and your family? Put your talent to work. Want to see the world? PUT YOUR TALENTS TO WORK!

Do you know that there are young people, who are not even at the tender age of 18, who are MILLIONAIRES? And, they earned it on their own??? WHAT? Where is MY million?

I am about to do this, and I encourage you to do the same. If you get a chance, pick up this book, "Reallionaire, Nine Steps to Becoming Rich from the Inside Out" by Farrah Gray. Farrah is a 20-year old young man from the inner streets of Chicago, who grew up on Welfare and made his FIRST million at the age of 14. I read an excerpt from his book on Amazon.com, and I am so anxious to know what else he has in his book.

I know all of us have something deep down within that we would want to do in life, but don't think that anyone will take us seriously. Or is it that WE don't take ourselves seriously? Listen, I am not ashamed to say I have dreams, BIG dreams, but what I believe will set me apart from some is that I am actually working towards getting my dreams fulfilled. The smallest effort can be a lot, but all of your effort is best! Let's be creative people, and let's get this money!

Ciao for now.....

This needs to be said.....

It makes no sense to me why we as people (especially us BLACK people) have a tendency to over stress things. Most of the confrontations we face, the arguments and cases of depression comes from the small things!

For instance, I met this guy, and he seems really cool. We vibin' and everything, talking about music (which is my favorite subject) and what we both like and dislike. So when it came down to linking up to go out together, our schedules were not allowing it, especially mine. Not that I was purposely making myself busy, I just genuinely had a lot of things to do. We attempted to meet up 2 times, and in those two times something had come up. Then all of a sudden he starts acting funny, talking about what I say and do are 2 totally different things. Where did that come from? He states that because of the fact that I was so busy at the time, he couldn't take me serious...Basically he is VERY judgmental. Well I set him straight with that and explained that these things happen, and if he is going to judge me by it then clearly I am wasting both of our time. Well, he got over it and we finally linked up.

Now, when we linked up, everything was ALL good....And remained that way for about 2 weeks. Then, one night when I am online, he jumps on and we start chatting. Usually when I step away I do what we all do, I say "BRB" or "hold on a minute". I didn't do that this time. I stepped away without saying anything and I could not have been gone for more than 3 or 4 minutes. The topic we were talking about was personal, and I guess because I didn't respond to him in time, he got upset. WHAT? WHY? He didn't want to talk to me anymore, and I could sense his vibes (thru the computer) that he was in a foul mood. I couldn't believe it though. Why in the world is dude getting mad over me stepping away from the computer?? I even apologized and explained why I stepped away (which, BTW, I didn't have to). But here's the topper, I decided to be a bigger person and call him the next day (I could still detect that he was upset). When I called him, I told him I just want to clear the air because I wasn't purposely being inconsiderate, and that I didn't think it was a big thing to be upset over. And you know what? He was STILL upset!

I say all of that to say this, Life is way too short to be stressing small stuff, especially when you could be going through far more worse things. We all have a tendency to over-stress things, but we need to check ourselves from time to time. There is more to a friendship, a relationship then just constant arguments.

Let's get over ourselves and start being more positive.

That's all from Miss Diva!

Ciao!
