The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time. -Bertrand Russell In this #world of over achievers, the #joy of wasted time gets lost. Why do people work to the point of burn out? They work till they burn out because they are convinced that they can #achieve their way to #fulfillment . Unfortunately, that is not possible; #achievement is a #science while #fulfillment is an #art . You can understand why achievers believe any time, not working is wasted, and why those who are fulfilled know anytime you enjoy is not wasted time. As I began to take on more and more projects in my life, it goes without saying I got busier and busier. I love what I do so naturally I was willing to do more and more. Then one day I started resenting my work. I have to tell you that was a very interesting moment in my life. I started questioning everything, and I am glad I did. As I was pondering what created the resentments I found it was because I wasn’t taking the time to enjoy my life, there was too much work work work even though I love what I do. There comes a point that you have to take care of yourself, just #relax , and #recharge or go have #fun !! I have since learned to #schedule in to my #life #time to do those things. My close #friends and #family know that if you’re in my car and I’m listening to a song I like please don’t interrupt ;) It is the simple #pleasures in life that refuel us. What are a few of your simple pleasures? As you know, life can get demanding from time to time. If you don’t #stop once in a while and take time to #enjoy your life, you will burn out. It takes a lot longer to refuel when you are burnt out than when you do it regularly. Because the time you enjoy wasting, is not wasted time! #starkidz

When the mind is free of all of its content, all of its conditioned thinking, it enters into the solitude of silence. That silence can only arise when one sees the limitations of one’s thinking. When one sees that his or her thoughts will not bring truth, peace, or freedom, there arises a natural state of silence and inner clarity. And in that silence there is a profound solitude, because one is not seeking a more advantageous relationship with thought or with the accompanying emotions that are derived by thought.

Lyrics:
To me it’s such a mystery
Strong, smart women throughout history yet their gifts we don’t really see. HIS STORY is focused on HIS GLORY .. I think it’s now mandatory we start taking inventory ..tell the whole truth, yeah the whole story… Women rule the world, that’s Girl Power! Fists up in the air, it’s our finest hour. Long, slow trudge trying to make it up this tower. We’re rescuing ourselves, female Jack Bauer. Through oceans in time, the journey, super potent in these rhymes. The female rise from decline. Went from royal bloodlines, to second class citizens. Making less dividends than men because of preference. Run that back?? They tried to deny our validity. We passed that. Success story, like a female MC running rap. Imagine that.. Charging toward the peak, we could never plat-eau. Rise and grind’s the motto. Flying high on auto. It took a hard fight to win our voter rights. We realized our strength. Game over good night… The dream stayed in sight. For each small child, with big dreams. Focused on the sky because the world is not what it seems. 236 years, we are finally doing our thing…. Possibility guides us, yeah, we found our wings. Call me Condi Rice with my diction. Minus all the fiction. We’re holding high court. Modern inquisition. Standing on the shoulders of giants. Preaching self reliance. Sometimes you can only break free by being defiant. Yelling through the silence. I’m the Sojourner of Truth, we must learn and empower. Then pass it to the youth. Each day’s a new milestone. Hold the phone like a dial tone. We’ve been over here stretching. Now it’s time for the sprint home. Shipped from Noah’s Arc, skip to Joan of Arc. A woman against an army, she provided the spark. Shining Light on the rift of two world’s set apart. We’re taught to focus more on Tutankhamen but our roots were not uncommon. Cleopatra. Skin of almond. Strength of steel. Queen of all men. Don’t forget, Mary Magdalene walked beside Christ. Washed him, prepared his grave. Love and sacrifice. Thinking they could ever hold us down, think twice. Progress is paid in full, sisters passed paid the price. Decades from Susan B. Anthony. Our youth will see the first woman Presidency. We’ve infiltrated government. Affected policy. Soon this land will really be “the land of the free”. Rosa Parks was thrown in jail over a seat. Now we’re seated in the boys club, kicking up our feet. Michelle Obama’s known for giving a killer speech, but we won’t raise the bar until we practice what we preach.

Be yourself. Who else is better qualified? —Frank J. Giblin, II Almost every magazine devotes its cover to movie stars and famous personalities. We are taught that we need to look like the most attractive and glamorous people. We need to wear what they wear, eat what they eat, and fix our hair like theirs. The message we are given is: Don’t be yourself, be like someone else. There will always be someone who looks better than we do, has more money, scores better on tests, or has more creative skills. If we’re always trying to mimic other people, we won’t be looking at ourselves. Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but it keeps us from being ourselves. We need to stop focusing on what others have that we don’t have. We need to look inward at our good qualities as well as our imperfections. We need to see who we are by being ourselves. Life is not made up of people who are good and bad, happy and sad, rich and poor, beautiful and ugly. Life is made up of people being themselves. #starkidz #stars #famous #people #celebrities #selfesteem #unique #original #beyourself #oneofakind
