Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.
โThe battles that count arenโt the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourselfโthe invisible, inevitable battles inside all of usโthatโs where itโs at."- โJesse Owens
Is Cancel Culture wrong or right about Kanye West?
This is MUST-WATCH video, people! Kanye West speaks his mind outside his kidsโ gym, telling the paparazzi why heโs said what he said, why he thinks God is punishing him, and why heโs a Black martyr like MLK and Malcolm X! Ye even leads the crowd in prayer before taking off. There is SO much here, youโve gotta sit back and take it all in!

Corinthians 13:4-7 - Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Work hard. Push yourself, because no one else is going to do it for you.

Hate, evildoers, and the wicked.

And gladness for the upright in heart.
Psalm 26:5 KJ21
I have hated the congregation of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.

15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him
The Best Revenge is not to be like your enemy
-Marcus Aurelius
Donโt sacrifice your future for temporary pleasures and comforts
Good deeds are not forgotten and bad deeds are not carried forward.
We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms โ to choose oneโs attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose oneโs own way.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.
