FYI: Things just don’t happen, there is a cause and effect to everything so stop acting like you’re innocent and the victim.
One of the most annoying things to me is the fact that some people aren’t accountable for their actions. Now don’t get me wrong there are instances in which we can become a victim of circumstances but for the most part we affect what happens and doesn’t happen to us. Some decisions we make have a ripple affect on our future depending what good or bad decisions we make. For instance, if you’ve ever used the following sayings as an excuse you annoy me and aren’t being accountable.
I was drunk!
I was on birth control!
I can’t get a job because I have a record!

Happy Monday YP’s! This is one of my favorite quotes of all time, because it is inspires me to do, and become better. I believe I first heard this quote from Beanie Siegel in a song titled “Feel It In The Air”. I love this quote because it talks about reaching for your own greatness, and dreaming big. Every one of us has the potential to do something great, because we all have different passions, and interests. But it is only potential, until we put it into action. We always have to continue to challenge ourselves, and raise the bar on what we can accomplish. If we do our best, and fail to reach all of our goals, we know that we will still be successful, because sometimes the journey can be just as worthy as the end result.

If you’ve paid any attention to ESPN these past few weeks then you’ll know this tournament has been one of the most unpredictable and exciting tournaments in a long time. This year three of the number 1 seeded teams have been eliminated before reaching the final four which is unusual to say the least. Number 1 seeded teams are always favored to be the last 4 teams standing. This year the Final Four teams are as follows: #5 Butler, #5Michigan State, #2 West Virginia, and Duke (the only #1 seed left).
If you revisit the blog (March Madness is upon us!!!) from a few weeks ago you’ll see that me and YPRuck were completely wrong with our picks. Only one of our teams made the final four (I picked West Virginia). As the tourney [click to continue…]
