    “Fear is Your Enemy!”

    Last weekend, I had the pleasure of seeing the movie, Harriett. Great movie, if you have not already seen it, I suggest you go see it. As I was leaving out of the theater, I was in such deep thought. I was greatly compelled to take notes from the movie and apply it to my life. One quote in the movie that stood out the most to me was, “fear is your enemy.” Many times we allow fear to get in the way of our success. We have great ideas, but allow our fear of the unknown to get in the way and we never fulfill those great ideas. Harriett…

    Surrender

    Yesterday was a good day. I went to see the movie, Breakthrough, great movie I recommend. Then I came home and watched Being Mary Jane, which I enjoyed as well.

    Patiently Waiting…

    I was driving home from a concert the other night and as I was driving I followed the signs, but there was one point I began to question where I was going because it didn’t look right. I had driven this same road several times before but at this one point it didn’t seem like I was on the right road. I pulled out my GPS to ensure I was going on he right path, but the directions didn’t pull up fast enough. I then saw another sign that indicated I was on the right track. The exit that I needed to get off on wasn’t coming fast enough or…
