WE ALL NEED TO DO BETTER!!

I want to say as a nation we are doing better than ever in regards of fighting for equality and injustices but that would be a bold face lie. I'm not just talking about the figure heads who are leading equality movements, I'm also talking about ME and YOU, day to day contact with one another. I think we as people need to act cordial or more than cordial to people in social settings.  We definitely made efforts to fight for equality and injustices and I'm not going to discredit those efforts but how many times are we going to overcome? Dr. Reverand Martin Luther King Jr's birthday was last week and his goal was simple, FIGHT FOR EQUALITY and END DISCRIMINATION for all people. Well, if the Reverand was living today, I think he would be very distraught and disturbed at the fact that his work didn't mean a DAMN thing during the Civil Rights Movement. But, I think he would still fight for equality and try to end discrimination until the blood runs out of his body. When I was in college, I took an African American Studies course and we had to read the autobiography of Dr. Reverand Martin Luther King Jr. and I remembered two defining moments in the book. The first moment was when King and his fellow followers were at a diner to demonstrate a sit-in and one Caucasian male threatened him with a knife and King just kept sitting there and said do what you must. That moment stood out to me because what if the man did kill King? I think King meant by do you what you must is kill me and my (his) spirit will continue to grow and hopefully spread within my (his) predecessors and they will follow my (his) legacy. The second moment is when his methods of delegation wasn't working at a certain time, he was looking at Gandhi in India for a fresh and new perspective. Gandhi was a prominent leader in India for freeing his people from British rule. 

I guess what I'm saying is WE ALL NEED TO DO BETTER, from the political figure heads to people internationally and domestically. I truly believe we need to reconstruct ourselves each and every day and fix what's broken within ourselves and then hopefully, we can have a better society with less discrimination and more equality. Hopefully, a better society are key words. We do better, we act better equals a potential less evil world.

Life

Life is what you make it. I get down and out because of some situations in life but I know God has me and I will be victorious in all things. I also love inspiration. I love people who inspire me and I love to inspire other people. When this inspiration happens, it's a non stop cycle of inspiring and I love it so much. My former college I went to, Mercyhurst University slogan is carpe diem which means seize the day. Seizing the day is so essential if we want to fulfill an accomplish or meet a goal. Connecting and networking with people is also so essential in life because these networks will hopefully develop into long lasting friendships and partnerships. Last night I watched this film entitled Demolition and it was a very good film. The main character, Jake Gyllenhaal found a boy that eventually became his best friend. Life is very precious, take it day by day and you never know who you are going to meet along your journey.

Keep Going, Never Stop!!

 I love the projects that I put out and if You don't know what I'm talking about, check out my websites: www. poetrybynoldon.com and www.inspireeducateencourage.com. I recently put out a book called NightCrawlers: Unbound Emotions and I'll give You guys a little synopsis. The novel is about a young lady who is a dancer at a strip club who has to leave from Cleveland, Ohio to Alabama unexpectedly. This novel brings light to the current events in America through the characters. Being able to put out two poetry books and selling my t-shirts is amazing and I'm BLESSED!! I thank God for the creativity and imagination that HE placed in my life. NO MATTER what subject matter I decide to have in my poetry or my novels, GOD  still blesses me with the yearning of creativity and wonder.  For anybody who has a passion for something or multiple passions for something, GO FOR IT because that passion(s) can turn into a business and that business can turn into revenue, little or a lot

Don't let others/things to dictate on how to live your life

I'm currently involved in a situation and the situation is I messaged a girl on Facebook and the message was very personal and I told her to not share it with anybody except me and her. She shared it with people on campus. I should've known this but I'll know next time. I'm not mad at all, I've made peace with myself with the whole situation. Now people are talking around campus but the main lesson I got out of this situation is to no let my insecurities hinder my happiness. Even though people talk about me on a negative aspect but I know God is greater than any hate that you face. I also know that He will never will leave me or forsake me. I can't let things or people upset me to the point that I lose my own set of morals, values and most importantly, Sanity .
