The reason why some people are quick to cut someone off is because they've learned that you can't reason with the unreasonable.

A situation can only be resolved if both parties see the error of their ways. One person can't always be the one to apologize.

Chicago can stop Donald Trump from rallying, but they can't stop the violence. How's that working out for you? I'll Wait.

Inner city, hood, ghetto, low-income, let's call it what it is: The hood or ghetto. Inner city and low income sound too PC to me.

#FridayWidsom: If a man is willing to raise another woman's children as his own, that woman would be foolish to let him go.

Successful people don’t waste their time looking at what others are doing, they’re too busy focusing on their own goals.

Self-Employed? Not Hired.

Why do some employers have a problem with hiring self-employed folks? As long as their side business doesn't interfere with their full-time job, I say hire them. Gone are the days where you could retire from the same job you've worked at for 30+ years. If you ask me, some people are smart by having more than one income because what if they lose their job? If they have no other income coming in, they're out of gas. I think it's crazy that some employers expect you NOT to have no other income but theirs. It's like they want you to depend on them for your livelihood. Because most states have at-will employment clauses (you can be fired with(out) cause), it's almost like some employers want the control of being able to lay you off for any or no reason.

Thoughts For Today

God cannot answer your prayers if you're too busy trying to bring forth the answer on your own.

When God wants you, he will get ahold of you by any means necessary.

Everyone you meet is a blessing or lesson. Do you know the difference?

Some of these racist fools would have been livid if Carson became US president. 2 black US presidents? Racial division would've been worse.

Ben Carson was smart dropping out of the presidential campaign. He wasn't a strong debater, and too laid back.

#RelationshipGospel. Women and men should be each other's peace. No one wants to do battle 2x a day; outside & inside the home.

Kids need to see their dad even if he is locked up. It's a teaching moment that jail is where a kid could end up if he goes the wrong way.

— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) March 1, 2016

I will never co-sign mothers not taking their kids to see their father in prison, even if the dad's actions got him locked up.

Blessing Or Lesson?

Everyone you meet is a blessing or lesson. Do you know the difference?

— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) March 6, 2016

People will fall into two categories: Blessings Or Lessons. If someone is a blessing, they impact your life for the better. They help you be a better (wo)man, they're a shoulder to cry on, support your vision, etc. They want nothing more than to make your life better; it doesn't matter what you do (or don't do) for them. You have people who are lessons, those who you fall out with on bad terms. When the relationship ends, your head is held high because you know they've taught you how NOT to be. I don't think most people know the difference between blessings or lessons, and that gets folks in trouble. You can let the wrong people into your life and be taught a lesson, or you can use discernment to let the right people inside and those people end up being blessings. Most of the time, people know the difference between those people who are blessings and lessons, but there are times where it's not to easy to differentiate because people pretend well. Some people come into your life pretending to be blessings, but they're lessons & vice versa. As long as you use discernment, you'll be able to understand the difference between those you meet as being a blessing or lesson.
