“People not giving you your props? Worry NOT!......Mediocrity will never congratulate excellence.”

“People not giving you your props? Worry NOT!......Mediocrity will never congratulate excellence.”

-Dr. Murdock



I got this quote from Rev Run on twitter and it inspired me to write this blog.

                It appears to be a common trend when anyone begins to achieve a certain level of success that people are going to hate on you. One of the prime examples now is Tim Tebow. Love him or hate him the man knows how to inspire a team to win. However, now that he has achieved success everyone wants to bash him and talk smack. First everyone said he would never make it in the NFL, and then they said he would never win. Now that he has proved everyone wrong, they still want to bash him.  Why not except his excellence. Give him his props.  

                Why is everyone so quick to pick out our faults? They are so quick to tell you when you are wrong but say nothing when you are right. Is it because they are jealous that they don’t have the courage to do what you do? Is it something they see in you that they wish they had in themselves? Do you represent a part of them that they can’t tap into?  I don’t know the answers to these questions, but I can speak from personal experience.  The people I have been jealous of all had or have something that I wish I had. I have recognized this and have learned to except the feeling of jealousy and dismiss it. I find what it is that I don’t like in a person and most times it is a part of me that I see in them, that I either don’t want anymore or wish I had.  Drake said it best when he said, “Jealous is just love and hate at the same time.”.

                There is always going to be critics or those who say you can’t do something. They see limitations where you may see opportunity.  They may never give you the props you deserve.  All of this is none of you spiritual business. You must continue on your path and ignore the comments.  If it feels right,        DO  “IT”, whatever “IT” may be. They may never congratulate your excellence and that’s ok. You shouldn’t be doing,  “IT” for the recognition anyway. Do “IT” because “IT” is what you do.  Don’t ask for permission asks for forgiveness.

Taking the NEXT STEP

Taking the NEXT STEP!! Im sure we have all reached a  point in our lives where we know its time to take that next step, next level, begin the next chapter in our life. It is by far  one of the scariest times for all of us. The point where we realize everything we have ever done has led us to THIS! This is our moment to shine and like Eminem says, " You only get one shot, do not miss your chance blow. Opportunity comes once in a life.".  The one scary thing is, you know after THIS moment, nothing will ever be the same.  Once you cross THIS line, you can not go back.  THIS is it and the pressure is on. They say, "Pressure bust pipes, but It can also make diamonds.", only you can decide what it does to you.  We all get to THIS moment, but few rise to the occasion. Few feel the fear and keep walking forward.  You can either step into greatness or step back into comfort.  Many will choose to step down and let THIS moment pass them by. Once they do that, the rest of t

Positive Attracts Positive

Ever hang around some negative people or in a negative environment? How did you feel during and after you had left? Did you feel drained of energy and just not happy about the situation you were currently in? Guess what.. your attitude, drive and passion effects others around you. If you create that positive energy and always surround yourself with positive, upbeat, driven people, you can only find more success in life. Being surrounded by my Flo Family along with everyone else such as Patrick Lerouge (www.revivetm.com) or Paul Newell (www.balancedwellness.org), I started to see my true potential and what I am truly capable of. They bring out the best in me because of their positive energy. They believe I can do it and push me to my limits. Even when I feel so uncomfortable with doing something, such as speaking in front of a group... they pushed me knowing that I could do it. I would have never seen myself get this far into my career without the Flo Family. I have learned so much, m

Are you brave enough for a COLD SHOWER?

Why I Take Cold Showers And You Should Too For the past three years I’ve taken a cold shower almost every single day. You might think I’m crazy and at first; trust me, at first I thought I was too. But hold your judgment, hear me out, give it a try and then you can thank me. What are the benefits of cold showers? 1.     Improve Mood A 2007 study looked at how cold showers affected people with depression. Here is what the authors of the study hypothesized: “Exposure to cold is known to activate the sympathetic nervous system and increase the blood level of beta-endorphin and noradrenaline and to increase synaptic release of noradrenaline in the brain as well. Additionally, due to the high density of cold receptors in the skin, a cold shower is expected to send an overwhelming amount of electrical impulses from peripheral nerve endings to the brain, which could result in an anti-depressive effect.” The study ended up finding that cold showers of 2-3 minutes helpe
