Rev Run's Word Of Wisdom

Good morning. “Most people operate on autopilot, doing what comes naturally. They get into a comfort zone of average performance, and seldom question their behavior.” -BT

The best way to determine what your life's purpose should be now is to determine what you want people to say about you at your funeral, and then live up to it until that day comes. -HSRjr.

Words of wisdom

Good morning. The prayerful, hopeful or religious type person is more likely to have longevity, health and happiness....(#1) His mind is employed on high themes; he contemplates sacred subjects. He is dealing with HIGH IDEALS, and for the most part, leads an unselfish life, largely devoted to the service of others. A HIGH ideal, a LOFTY purpose, a NOBLE aim, WHATEVER tends to make man look up and struggle up, tends to improve his health, happiness and life conditions. (Remember) ASPIRATION is a perpetual tonic; it stimulates all the faculties and leads to a overall healthier, happier existence... (Pray often)

The Celebration Principle

Good morning. A wise man once said.... The true test of relationships is not only how loyal we are when friends fail, but how thrilled we are when they succeed. (Remember this) Many average people do not want others to go beyond average..... The question we must ask ourselves is this.... Do I enjoy and root for the success of my friends???? (Don't hate congratulate! Lol)

I Won't Ask For S**t Else

THIS IS THE WEEK I'm interested in being entertained by gossip or funny tv or music or.... but if I could just get people excited about this transitional period or to watch their politicians on this one issue for a few days... anyhow thats life. We are always seeking just one more blessing
:-) but again can we rally up support and love for the people unjustly locked in jail pleeeeease.... I promise I wont ask for sh*t else.

Every morning I meditate and before silence sets in there is a period of uncertainty for a few minutes where the thoughts run rampant and in those minutes (and even a few minutes after those minutes) I get a chance to see the noise (thoughts) from a little distance.. It is there that maybe I don't react to them so quickly but instead just "watch" them. It is at this time while taking this inventory of my thoughts that I can best choose my actions for the day. I may be confronted with heavy judgement from family or heads of my charities or biz associates or press officers... Or even confronted by something as small as judgment from the monster media itself. So this morning Prayer allows me strength to weigh the validity of those pressures.
As a yogi, I've come to realize that my happiness and perception of reality is based 100 % from what sits inside and 0% from what happens on the outside. It is also for this reason that I sometimes have strength to be original. I encourage all people and including artists to be good listeners but more important to follow their heart and not be a puppet to judgment or mediocrity. Be special. Choose what makes u whole.

I can tell u that choosing vegan diet or fighting for the environment or running five charities and even giving away my money to various charities comes from these prayers. I can let you in on a trick... the toys I receive are a result of the gifts I give.

This is not some crazy idea I have. I have proof. (This is taught by all the prophets and it sits in the Bible, the Koran, the Torah the Buddhist scriptures and the yoga sutras). I repeat, the toys I receive are a result of the gifts I give.

I sometimes write to reflect to reaffirm my own faith. I'm sure I'm restating the obvious to you but I can tell you the reason the yogis chant the name of god over and over again is because we have to remember and remember to remember.

Oh sh*t! the senate majority leader is calling.

Maybe there's a break through... :-). Last note... If I can ask you for anything. "don't forget those non-violent diseased people sitting in cells for doing what I did, the gov did, the president did and the previous president did (use coke). 95% of those locked up are black, yet blacks and white use drugs at the same rate. They need your support! Come to the rally tomorrow at the governor's office. See you there!

Be all you can be

Good morning. I was reading “Be all you can be” by John Maxwell last night and I found this excerpt very interesting..... “If you're not stretching, you're in a much better position to defend yourself; your muscles are naturally defensive. Though most people begin their lives by stretching, they soon discover that this position leaves them open to attack, so they begin to withdraw. They start to equate stretching with pain. Before long they're not willing to stretch anymore. Those who continue to stretch will find themselves vulnerable to criticism. Unfortunately, the road to success is paved with critics. They're ready and waiting to point out how other people do what they themselves are unable or unwilling to do”... (Fyi) This excerpt reminded me of why people like Sean “Diddy” Combs, Russell Simmons and others who continually dare to stretch are soo necessary....
