An excellent Monday Morning to YOU and the people you CARE About...
Let's get right to it... Life isn't short by a long shot. What you are doing with your everyday life can make in meaningful or worthless. People enjoy saying that 'Life is Short' as a means of motivation.
Life is what you truly make it to be. If you believe that it is short, how will your mind wrap itself around a future? We must make decisions as if our future matters. The people we confide in, the food we eat, our career choices; everything we involve ourselves in must have a future attached it to. Life isn't short by a long shot.
People think its admirable to say that an 80 year old died too young. When in all actuality, this 80 year old died, living in their future, possibly further than their future's expectation.
Live as if your life will be a long one; live for your future and align yourself with like spirits which are living the same way. Fun in the present is your past' future. Wouldn't be nice to think about the fun you'll have 30 years from now? It should be...
Have an excellent Monday Morning and you'll have an excellent week.

Monday Morning Motivation 6/13/11
An Excellent Monday Morning to YOU and the people you care about...
Whatever you were waiting for, this morning, get to it. Get to it because the world around you is changing faster than its ever had. Get to it before somebody else do it. Write it down before you forget it. Pass it along to someone better at executing plans. This morning, get to it.
Prepare your mind for the long haul. And like food as nourishment for your body, be very particular about what nourishes your mind. I can't say this enough, "Slow your life down." Cherish a moment. Stop and smell a rose before you forget what roses smell like. Make time for your passions, whether reading, knitting, painting, etc. Make time for a good friend or family member. Make a phone call instead of a text. Meet up in-person instead of a phone call. Please do not get lost in the speed of new media life. Control what you love and dislike... follow the trend, lose your path.

Monday Morning Motivation (3/28/11)
This Monday Morning and this week is YOURS! No Doubt about it! You will NOT be denied. It is impossible and I will tell you why.
Because your greatness knows no bounds. The only thing that could stop you from reaching your goals would be turning your back on completing them. Make your phone calls this morning. Set up your lunch and your dinner meetings for this week, this morning. Make your future happen this morning!
I remember hearing a Mixed Martial Arts fighter say, "An opponent could defeat me in the ring, but they can't defeat my heart. My heart is undefeated." And so was that fighter. Your heart can't be defeated this week! Go Get'em!

Monday Morning Motivation (3/14/11)
An excellent Monday Morning to you and those that are closest to you...
This Monday Morning I woke up thinking about one of the many early accomplishments in life: tying my shoes. This is an universal accomplishment, something that we all can share the joy of the first time we tied our shoes on our own. It felt so good, didn't it?
Some of us may not remember the exact day it happened. Many of us relive this accomplishment through our children, our nephews and nieces, etc. The accomplishment seems small, routine to us now. But we can't allow it to be. The moment we've learned to tie our shoes, in our young minds, anything was possible. And although those strings we become lose and we'd have to tie our shoes again, we knew we could do it again. And some of us even utilized the double knot when our laces gave us too much trouble.
These thoughts brought me to momentum, and how the smallest things to our world, can add to that momentum. We mustn't forget to believe in ourselves, our capabilities. Realistically, we can still do anything we put our mind to, if we keep our accomplishments important to our spirits. Remove the routine from you accomplishments, and build upon it. We will tie our shoes, our ties, our scarves, etc. and the child within us will smile that beautiful energetic smile of hope for the future.
Have an excellent Monday Morning, and you will have an EXCELLENT WEEK!

Monday Morning Motivation (2/28/2011)
A Special Monday Morning to YOU:
On the search for you unique greatness, look no further than in the mirror, or even better, close your eyes and look within. Because your greatness isn't out their waiting for you in the form of achievements. Your greatness is your own. As is your happiness.
Your greatness and your happiness must be your property. Life isn't living when you attach either one of these gifts to someone or something else. We make the mistake of feeling as if everything in life is a goal to achieve. Some things in life aren't goals at all. Some things in life, are already in our life. It is up to us to announce it, not to claim it.
So announce your greatness this morning; announce your happiness this morning. And make these announcements without words. Simply live them out.
Have an extraordinary Monday Morning, and you'll have an extraordinary week!

An Excellent Monday Morning to You!
On the morning of Valentine's Day, I often reflect back to what it was like to give away Valentine's Day cards, in Elementary School. What we thought was LOVE, was so innocent at the time. We gave, and we received. We were more sentimental; we created cards with color paper and got our hands messy with glue. We paid attention to detail, and gave what we felt was special, even if it wasn't legible.
This morning, pay attention to the details of your life. Make yourself fully of what it will take to reach your next platform. And don't be afraid to get your hands all gluey.
Find your innocence, your inner child, and reach out to the very person you feel needs to hear from you. Tell them that you care about them. Trust me, telling a person you care is far stronger than wavering with love. Appreciate the life you have and the lives you touch.
Have youself an amazing Monday Morning and you'll have an excellent week.

Monday Morning Motivation (2/7/11)
This is your morning!
Ok, it won't be easy but it is definitely your morning. You must do one thing: Live in the Moment. Living in the moment isn't easy when you haven't a clue of what is distracting you from doing so.
Distractions have grown into a way of life for many of us, unknowingly. Whether it's social networking, mainly social networking, texts, emails, BBM, Skype, relationships, etc. distractions are the gate keepers to us living in the moment.
The old adage of stopping to smell the roses has become, "At least don't crush the rose as you speed by."
This morning, take a moment to think about your everyday life; your everyday distractions. What can you do to ease off or simply calm your mindstate to lessen these distractions; to focus on the here and now. We tend to build better futures for ourselves when we plan for those moments now. We must afford paying attention. Live in the moment.

A Grand Monday Morning to you:
On this special Monday Morning, I'll keep this letter short. One of the greatest motivators in American History, a true inspiration of mine, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. celebrates a 25th Anniversary of a holiday he earned in life by understanding the change he wanted to see in American, could bring him an early and tragic death.
Dr. King lived and loved without fear. And he was very aware of his purpose. So this morning, "Be KING like." Live and love without fear; become more aware of your purpose, big or small. Fearlessly be yourself. Learn what the small things are in your life, and complain less. Grab onto the things that make your heart sing and surround those things with a choir of good spirits.
Stay strong and motivated...

Monday Morning Motivation (12/27/10)
Great Monday Morning!
To all the Northeast residents, we aren't afraid of a little snow are we; stuck but not scared. Today is the last Monday of 2010, so instead of putting together a "Best-of" I'd rather that we all are reflective of the Mondays of our past 12 months and the achievements we now hold dear.
Now isn't the time to reset our plans, only enhance them, evolve them. Now is the best time to be YOU and live YOUR life in a way that inspire others.
On a sad note, the music world lost an amazing voice and woman, over the weekend, Teena Marie. Whether you pray or meditate, if you have some great energy to share, her family and friends could use it. Teena's loss like any other loss of life should be a reminder that we can't take this life we have, for granted; we must not take our loved ones for granted. It is not about whether tomorrow is promised or not. What it is about is not just setting and achieving goals, we must also set and achieve love. The way that we care and love is what makes us human. So love out loud.
A great Monday Morning equals a Great week. Stay strong and motivated.

Great Monday Morning to ya'!
This is my second to last MMM for the calendar year of 2010. But there is no end in sight. Greatness has our name engraved in it. All we have to do is go to the store and pick it up.
But don't get me wrong, greatness isn't reserved like a dinner for two at a Five Star Restaurant. Greatness is attached to every plan, every goal we set out to achieve. The question is, "Are you leaving your Greatness at the store, for pick-up?"
We set goals all the time. Some of those goals just aren't meant to be. The growing population of "haters" are often wrong about their subjects. We must face the fact that sometimes, your "hater" might be right. (I know, where did that come from).
With that in mind, be sure that your new goals are full of passion. Passion work is the way live. It is overwhelming and rewarding. If you are living your passion, continue it. If you are well on your way to it, evolve until you reach it.
Have a great and productive Monday Morning and you will have a great and productive week. Stay strong and motivated.

Monday Morning Motivation (12/13/10)
Great Monday Morning!
It feels so good to be back. Back at it everyday, taking no prisoners or names. Being in that special zone that we all have; when everything falls into place.
You'll be surprised how often things fall into place; that if you pay attention to everything, not just the struggle, you'll find that your life's triangles, fit in your daily triangle shapes.
This Monday Morning, lets take the time to place the right shape, through the right hole. Squares do not fit into circles. If it isn't working, evolve to a new circle to fit in that space.
For all I know, we only get one of these lives. We have to proceed to what make our shapes fit. Indianapolis Colts Quarterback, Peyton Manning, said something amazing at one of his press conferences last week in regards to adversity: People would tell me hang 'in' there; I was never 'out' there.
We can always be better, we can always adjust on the fly. But sometimes we must stop trying to jam hexagon into a rectangle. (wow, I hope this letter clicks) :)

How sweet is this; not only is it Monday Morning, it is the first Monday amd first day of the month! This morning is the morning!
Make your plans, set your goals, update your calendars, do it all this morning. Do it because it works. Do it because of people like Bear Frazier, which raised close to $4000 for his film project. And although he is naturally driven, he requests that I keep these "MMM" emails coming.
There is power in positivity mixed with intensity. What you do this morning does matter, it does count towards your week. So be like Bear this week.
And please share your success stories with me. Greatness is in you.

It's Monday Morning, do you know where your accomplishments are??? They can be anywhere, just waiting for you to claim them. Are you ready today? Are you ready to stake your claim while taking names?
Of course you are! Today is the day, this morning is the morning. Make that phone call, send out that email, tweet out that message. Own up to your mishaps, stand up for your brand, and don't take no for an answer, in any language.
Today is yours, which really means, this week is yours.

Good Monday Morning to all!!!
I am so excited, just tickled pink and all that. I realize that the weather isn't all that beautiful, but life still is.
There are so many possibilities this week. Knowing that September 2010 will end this week, you can think back to September 1st to make sure you didn't leave any goals on the table for this month.
I wish you the best Monday ever... Everything you do today, matters.

An Open Letter to Bill Cosby
I woke up this morning, angry. I can’t remember that last time this happened. I sat at the edge of my bed for five minutes, not wondering where this feeling came from, but why. The answer was slow moving. So I got on with my morning until it hit me. The thought of our people crossed my mind.
Mr. Cosby, everyday I walk with the responsibilities and hope of our people on my shoulders. I’ve never dreaded it. I embrace it. But I can’t help but to get angry at the lack of fellowship and vision we exhibit. I think about how much strength it took for you to stand in front of your peers and tell them the raw and uncensored truth about our future if we didn’t take care of our dirty laundry. I think about how every one turned on you… how could they turn on you?
Mr. Cosby, it was you, and your vision for a stronger people that gave us “The Cosby Show.” You gave us a well-rounded, intelligent and loving African-American family to believe in at a time when our hoods were being ravaged by the Cocaine era. I’d hate to see what our people would be like today without the added boost of confidence and self worth that your show delivered. Michael Jordan wasn’t enough; Run-DMC wasn’t enough.
Speaking of those examples, who needs “Affirmative Action” when a majority of our youth recognizes success as playing a professional sport or rapping; not to mention modeling and music production. People are in an uproar about education in Urban areas. Yet in Urban areas, the unemployment rates are high, teenaged pregnancy are high, incarcerations are high; where are the tax dollars? And it’s not because of the school systems, it’s because of our home systems. An urban city can’t survive on State funds alone. Libraries are closing, Boys & Girls Clubs are cutting back, after-school programs cancelled. And people are blaming the government, when it is us that aren’t cleaning are laundry and being responsible for what we bring into this world.
I am angry and disappointed… how many more times will I have to read a rumor of your demise. Why you… why four times? The ingrate that starts these rumors can’t see the pain that it causes?! The nonsense you’ve endured over the past ten years has been nothing short of a tragedy. And through it all, you’ve smiled… through it all, you smile.
To me, you are walking, talking, and game changing Black History in motion. You were at one point “America’s Favorite Dad” on television; a national treasure. And I believe that I’ll be angry until our people come together, apologize to you, defend you, and treat you with the respect that you’ve earned over the past 50+ years.
I hope that this letter reaches you in clear mind and spirit. Mr. Cosby, your life inspired me to be better, to live better, and most important, to deliver discomfort to the masses if it is the only way to change the status quo. I am proud to say that I am a Cosby kid. Continued success to you, sir.

What Did I Do Now?! Nothing! So chill...
We make things so difficult sometimes. It's not even like we walked out of the frying pan into the fire. These days, we can walk off the beach into an ice storm of misdirected yammer. A colleague of mine reached out to me. He found himself under fire by his lady friend for no reason at all. Been there, lived that. One moment, you're all smiles, the next moment, you're being screamed on for no apparent reason. Well there was a reason, a very small one.You're dealing with a walking, talking emotional time bomb. Except, that this time bomb is far too afraid to explode on the person that deserves it. So they find a comfortable target to annihilate. A major issue in all of this is when this misdirected explosion of emotions, suddenly causes an argument that never should've happened. These are the senseless arguments that somehow rips shreds into friendships and relationships. These are the senseless arguments that no one person ever won.
My advice was to diffuse all drama by simply saying, "When you're ready to talk about what's really happening, I'm here for you." If after making this statement you are still being yelled on for using the blue coaster instead of the green one, walk away. Allow for some time to go by. Also, by not fanning the flames, you are letting this person know that you won't be their voluntary punching bag whenever they're angry.
We must be considerate of others. When you are going through it, get through it. But not by yelling on the one person that supports you just because you know this person won't leave your side. Take a breather and lean on your comfort for a little support. Just don't drag your comfort zone down with all of your issues. Smile with them as well.
