It's So Easy to do Nothing with My Life! Why?

My ancestors, the ones that walked in chains, the ones that couldn't read, didn't have transportation and without a doubt suffered racism, bigotry and prejudice, even in their sleep! They set the bar! They were conquerers, even as captives. Against all odds my ancestors started universities, designed cities, developed medical techniques and more. We still do today! Ben Carson comes to mind. I know there are others. Back in the day.....walking miles to school, second hand books, dirt floors and....you know the story. Yet, they prevailed! Today we hear about so many things that, in my opinion, cripple us. Yes I know these things do affect us in many ways, but, what happened to the spirit of triumph, victory over our circumstance. Back in the day, there was a real reason to be a failure. Today inspite of what is playing in the media, I believe I can be what I want to be, even after many years of drug abuse. Over 5 years crack free!!! Brothers and sisters you can make it! Don't fall for the excuses that make us complacent, chronic complainers. Put your all into postive action, what we deal with today is nothing compared to yesteryear. May peace, love and blessings come to all, especially those that are truly helpless!!!  Tune in!
