Survivor

I am a huge fan of music. I listen to the words, to grab the feeling the writer was trying to share. It could be deep , funny, sad, fiction, or truth it just has to be good..
I have a Theme song that i love. it 'Survivor' by Destiny's Child. The words the writer Beyonce expressed are so on-time. This song is about Career, Friends, Love, Family, etc... if there is something you need to overcome.. this song covers it. I have there absolute favorite lines:

#1:Now that you're out of my life, I'm so much better. (the very first line, but the way she says it... just sends chills)

#2:Wishing you the best, pray that you are blessed. (Wow....)

#3: And of course. I'm a survivor I'm gonna make it I'm not gonna stop I'm going to work harder. (that was more than one line, I get carried away).

That is my theme song, What's yours and what line of that song, does it for you?

i placed the words to the song below, and below that you can find the link to the video...
ENJOY!

Now that you are out of my life, I'm so much better,
You thought that I'd be weak without ya,But I'm stronger,
You thought that I'd be broke without ya,But I'm richer,
You thought that I'd be sad without ya,I laugh harder,
You thought I wouldn't grow without ya,Now I'm wiser,
You thought that I'd be helpless without ya,But I'm smarter,
You thought that I'd be stressed without ya,But I'm chillin'
You thought I wouldn't sell without ya,Sold nine million.

[Chorus]
I'm a survivor (what),
I'm not gonna give up (what),
I'm not gon' stop (what),
I'm gonna work harder (what),
I'm a survivor (what),
I'm gonna make it (what),
I will survive (what),
Keep on survivin' (what),
I'm a survivor (what),
I'm not gonna give up (what),
I'm not gon' stop (what),
I'm gonna work harder (what),
I'm a survivor (what),
I'm gonna make it (what),
I will survive (what),
Keep on survivin' (what).

(Verse 2)
Thought I couldn't breathe without you,I'm inhalin'
You thought I couldn't see without you,Perfect vision,
You thought I couldn't last without ya,But I'm lastin'
You thought that I would die without ya,But I'm livin'
Thought that I would fail without ya,=But I'm on top,
Though it would be over by now,But it won't stop,
You thought that I would self-destruct,But I'm still here,
Even in my years to come,I'm still gon' be here.

[Chorus]

(Bridge)
I'm wishin' you the best,Pray that you are blessed,
Much success, no stress, and lots of happiness,(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna blast you on the radio,(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna lie on you or your family, yo,(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna hate you in the magazine,(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna compromise my Christianity(I'm better than that)
You know I'm not gonna diss you on the Internet Cause my momma told me better than that.

[Chorus]

After all of the darkness and sadness,
Still comes happiness,
If I surround myself with positive things,
I'll gain prosperity.

[Chorus]

I have learned to keep my desires, dreams and wishes to those who I KNOW support me. This way no one can prey on them. But i hate it, i listen to people, i support others and i can absolutely tell when someone has just discounted me.

i often wonder how successful people get where they are. They must believe in themselves. But most importantly is having someone who believes in you too. Encouragement and proper guidance, no, not proper but productive guidance is key. having someone who agrees with your every decision, even when you are wrong, or off the designated mark is not productive. however, that is what we gravitate towards. If we aren't preparing ourselves properly to take our place in life, then we are setting ourselves up for failures.

I once heard a very successful musician state "my father took us to try out for a group, in the middle of the performance, he stopped the try-out. Apologized to the judges and said they aren't ready. And we left. he did that several times, until we got it right." - Guess who.

Its never comfortable to be criticized, however if our personal support group won't do it.. the world will. So lets not push away the persons who are providing constructive criticism, in a loving way. Lets learn to listen to the content of the information provided and grow from it.

I feel that people are successful from guidance and support. Lets support each other.

what do you think?

Apprehension

Apprehension = suspicion or fear.

I would love to encourage people to act on their fear, and follow the whisper. That's right God whispers his wishes for your life, when you don't listen or follow, it turns into a gut feeling. and when you ignore the gut feeling, you leave no other choice but to follow the advice of others.. so now you have ignored God and consulted people.. Take stock.. and walk into your fears, I promise you.. you will end up where God needs you to be. who doesn't want that?

Listen to the whisper follow the path. follow the dream. Follow the Lord. AMEN!


STAY ON PURPOSE! the Lord needs you!

What is your purpose?
