Life can be as hard as you make it at times. YP CGT shares a poem about some of the trials and tribulations that he goes through in life. Even though the stacks are against him, he is ready for a change, and his own personal ‘revolution’.

Tired Of…

Doing nothing…
Overlooking things..
Not speaking up…
Being half azzed..
Being Judged so quickly..
expecting me to do as they want…
people thinking i need them…
watching myself be stagnant…
being taken for granted…
being lazy ..
being unorganized..
being left behind…
being looked down at..
Not living to my full potential..
Not being stable with one’s self…
writing about what i should change….tired of talking about making moves…
it’s time 4 my Revolution…

YPs Friday Challenge: Pay It Forward (Replay)

by Ruck on 06/24/2011

in YP Blogs

          Greetings YPs.  I heard about the concept of paying it forward while listening to Michael Baisden’s show a while ago as I do during my commute home from work.  Michael Baisden is one of my favorite radio personalities whom I admire and consider a role model for being a philanthropist, and an open minded individual.  But let me stay focused on this concept of paying it forward which is basically doing something nice for someone you know or a complete stranger and not expecting anything in return but for them to pay it forward by doing something nice for someone else, hence the term/concept pay it forward.

          This week I paid it forward to a complete stranger in gym which I tweeted about a couple of days ago.  I consider [click to continue…]

I Have A Choice: What Will I Choose??? (Replay)

by DSing on 06/14/2011

          YPs, life is made up of many situations in life that force you to make decisions.  The best part about life is that you always have a choice.  Choices come with consequences and rewards, but the important thing to realize is there is always an option.  You have to decide what you are and are not willing to live with.  I would like to say that we all make the right decisions but the fact of the matter is that a lot of times we KNOWINGLY MAKE THE WRONG ONES!!!  You have options in life.  WHAT WILL YOU CHOOSE???

I will choose to be GREAT!!!

I will choose to FIGHT TIL THE END!!!

I will choose to PASS DOWN KNOWLEDGE THAT I GAIN IN LIFE!!!

I will choose to WORK HARDER THAN MY COMPETITORS IN LIFE!!!

I will choose to OVERCOME ALL OBSTACLES BEFORE ME!!!

I will choose to LOOK FOR MOTIVATION IN ALL SITUATIONS OF DISPAIR!!!

I will choose to ALWAYS KEEP MY FAITH!!!

I will choose to NOT LET DEPRESSION SET IN AND DERAIL ME FROM MY GOALS!!!

I will choose to NEVER LET ANYONE TELL ME WHAT ‘REALISTIC’ IS!!!

I will choose to UPLIFT THOSE AROUND ME, IN ANY WAY THAT I CAN!!!

I will choose to STAY PRODUCTIVE AND NOT BECOME STAGNATE!!!

I will choose to FOCUS ON BETTERING MYSELF AND NOT BLAMING OTHERS!!!

I will choose to LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST!!!

I will choose to LAUGH AS HARD AND AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE!!!

I will choose to LOVE MY LOVED ONES UNCONDITIONALLY!!!

          YPs, I am not perfect and have not mastered all of these.  I am however, determined to live my life how I want to and these ideals are in the forefront of my life.  Find out what type of person you wish to be, and stop short of NOTHING LESS!  YPs Stand Up!!!

Do You Really Though?

by DSing on 05/21/2011

in YP Blogs

          YPs, I have noticed that life is full of a bunch of talkers.  People who know what they may want/need/desire, but only know how to talk about it.  People who may even encounter what they ‘say’ they want, but DO nothing that is required to keep it.  Think about all the people in life who say things like; I want to start my own business, I want to lose weight, I just want a good man/woman, if I had a good man/woman I’d be set, all I need is the opportunity!!!  I think about all that is said and think, ‘Do You Really Though?’
