Out of my mind...

Ok. So I'm a little more upset about this Kenisha thing than I want to admit. But I didn't thing I would take it as far as as I did. Dang. she was fine though. She said she wanted to comfort me and in a moment of weakness I wound up having sex with this young lady for no reason. Ok, I had a reason. I wanted to at the time. But I kinda, ok I do like her, and there was time and space. That doesn't make it right. I spent the last day of finals in my room with her doing all of the things I thought I liked. Unfortunately, it wasn't my wife, it wasn't my girlfriend. I just...did it. I promised myself this wouldn't happen. I've NEVER been the random sex kind. This isn't me. I've got to be out of my mind. Anyway, it's good to be at home. I've got a date too. Yeah. I hope you didn't think I wasn't gonna just sleep with the young lady and not get to know her better. Honestly, there is nothing I can do to gonna make me feel better about what I did. I'm still shaking my head but I gotta be stronger than this situation. Pray for me. '04 and rising. Now let me go get dressed. We are meeting in Mobile tonight. Peace.

DO YOU?

Do you go quietly into the deep, dark abyss of unrealized potential and dreams, unrecognized goals and visions, unsung hymns of victory and success?

Do you stand meekly in the face of a tumultuous storm, cowering beneath the humble guise of patience and waiting, sinking in sedentary complacency tinged with hopelessness, settling for whatever circumstances happen to come your way?

Do you simply give up on the eve of a battle, declaring defeat before the first strike is ever made, waving your white flag and digging your own grave, surrendering your will to succeed in the very fight of your life?

Do you receive the negative report of your worst enemies, believing what they say, even when it goes against your faith.

Do you co-sign your own death certificate and abort your destiny, because instead of standing strong, you make the choice to succumb.?

Do you walk with the short, staggering stride of a quitter? Take apparent defeats in life as they come your way and say appeasing and comforting words to your own ego, instead of using the opportunity to strengthen and grow?

Do you recede when the worst circumstances come after you, do you curl up in intimidation when a certain authority stands over you, do you sit down in the gallows when it's time to rise up and claim your throne?

Do you rehearse your past failures, restating those things which seem impossible?

Winners don't quit, they do the opposite.T hey fall down and bounce back and make the most if it. They take blows, roll with punches, and never give up a in a fight until the battle is over, and it's not over if you're still alive...

Winners don't settle for a life of defeat,they can't see it, they won't claim it, and they only visualize victory. They don't lie back, they assert themselves, because in life it pays to seize. Every opportunity for success, and do whatever is necessary to succeed.

Winners don't back down in tough circumstances,they stand up for themselves, and then they learn to take chances. They push forward with all their willpower and rehearse many fighters' stances. They ask questions, but they never accept negative answers.

Winners don't get any rest, because to rest during a battle is to guarantee certain death. They work hard, they pray harder, and they keep their faith in motion, because closed mouths don't get fed, and prayer keeps your mouth open.
