2day's Message: "If you’re going to pursue greatness, if you’re going to be a great businessperson, a great teacher, a great parent, a great leader, you have to understand that not everyone is going to cheer you on. I’d love to tell you that your family, friends and co-workers will celebrate you, but that’s not necessarily the case.
Some people simply can’t handle your success. As you grow and increase, as God pours out His favor on you, someone will get jealous. Someone will start finding fault. Don’t be surprised if a relative tries to belittle or discredit you. You can’t focus on making everyone around you happy or you’ll start changing and lose sight of what God has placed in your heart.
Remember, your destiny is too great to be distracted by people who are never going to affirm you. Don’t take it personally. It’s not about you. It’s their problem. Shake it off, run your race, and be great anyway.Having greatness in the midst of criticism begins with forgiveness. Don’t hold a grudge. Bless those who curse you; pray for those who spitefully use you. As you keep doing what is right, God will honor you. He’ll promote you, and you’ll be great in the midst of criticism!" Joel Osteen
I Recently Finished Reading Paulo Coelho's "The Alchemist!!!"  It's A Great Book Regarding UR "Personal Pursuit" Of Staying True 2 Who U Really Were Meant 2 B!!!  As The Above Message States U CANNOT Lose Sight Of Who U R, Or Let Those Who Seek 2 Bring U Down Stop U From Achieving Greatness On UR Road 2 Self Fulfilment. 
The Alchemist Xplains How By Taking Into Account The People Who Cross UR Paths, The Omens That R Placed In UR Path, & Whether Or Not UR Willing 2 Push Through UR Own Faults/Fears So U Can B All That U Were Destined B!!!  Great Inspirational Story & A Quick EZ Read!!!  
AJ DEFINITELY Recommend This Book!!!  Next Up Iz Sheila E's "The Beat Of My Own Drum: A Memoir." Stay Tuned!!!
 
P.S. R.I.P. 2 My Mother Cora Mae Swann, As 2day September 17th, Iz Her Birthday!!!  She's Been Gone Since 1992..., But NEVER EVER 4gotten Bcuz Her DNA Continues 2 Live On Strongly In Her Last Remaining Child!!!  U Know..., (oh lawdy not that middle child),,,, YES That Krazy Middle 1!!! 
She Alwayz Told Me, "I Never Worried About U..., U Were Determined From An Early Age..., Itz Those Other 2 Who R Tryin' 2 Drive Me Krazy!!!"
 
My Older Sister Carolyn Passed Away In 1990 & My Younger Brother Larry Passed Away In 2012!!!  We Were All Roughly 7 Years Apart & Strange 2 Know That I've Been Left All Alone From The Very 1st Social Circle (family) U Build In UR Life!!!
