I'm a big advocate of doing what's best for you regardless of opposition. If people get upset because you will no longer let them use you, that's their problem and not yours. You're confirming that you made the right decision to finally put yourself first for a change.

Doing Right With Success
I believe this. Any success that I or anyone else will enjoy in life comes from God. The difference between me and them is that in the process of becoming successful, I try not to forget about the One who blessed me. Far too many people get successful and start acting brand new; they stop kicking it with people they came up with that were loyal to them.
God allows you to become successful because he trusts that you will do the right thing with it. Now, does he get disappointed often? All the time, because people achieve success and they forget how they got it. Don’t let this be you! #SundayThoughts #SundayMotivation— Steve Harvey (@IAmSteveHarvey) March 31, 2019

What's On My Mind?
I'm tired of these so-called Christians bumping their gums about being blessed & highly favored, acting high, holy & sanctified and those are the main ones who are the most foul. I'm talking about turning a child against their father because things didn't work out between them. Let them tell it: They're saved and blessed. I can't get upset when unbelievers say they want no part of God because they see some fake Christians acting like the devil. The worst kind of Christian is one who does dirt and then says they're saved & blessed. If you call that saved, then I must be doing this all wrong. Fake Christians (yes, I call them fake) give the entire name of Christianity a bad name because the world sees the fakes misrepresenting the name of Christ, then want nothing to do with God because of the phony believers. I used to get upset at unbelievers when they say, "If Christians act like that, why should I come to Christ?" but now, I see where they're coming from because I've seen it myself. If I wasn't mature in my walk with Christ, I would've let the bootleg believers deter my walk with God, but because I was rooted in God's word from birth, it's stuck like concrete.
I just feel for the rookie Christians, the ones who just got saved, and are trying to figure out their walk with God. What seasoned believers can they turn to if they have questions about the faith?

Your Dreams Are For YOU
Your dreams are for YOU, not for everyone. It baffles me that people tell everyone their dream(s), and get upset when people shoot their vision down.
I don’t know why people are quick to share their dreams with everyone. God gave your dream to YOU & YOU only. https://t.co/1A8I5GqLYp— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) March 24, 2019

Marriage Material & Spiritual Maturity
Marriage Material doesn't carry the same meaning to men as it does to women.— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) March 25, 2019
Men and women define marriage material differently, as they should. How a woman feels she's marriage material is different from what a man is looking for.
It takes spiritual maturity to accept the mate God sends you, even if they're not "fine" by your standards.— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) March 24, 2019
Look, I get it. Men want a woman that looks like Beyonce and women want a 6'6 chocolate sensation that rocks her world. Yes, God gives us our heart's desires, but he will always give us what we need, first and foremost.

Scenario
A question was posed in a FB group I'm in that went like this: God sends you a mate that meets 75-100% of your expectations, but he's not physically attractive. Do you accept the mate God sent or bypass? My answer is this: I understand looks are important, but they're not the final say. Looks are going to fade over the years, and then what? You have to have something concrete in order for the relationship to make it.

Having Others' Back & Not Your Own
One time for the brother who wrote the original tweet. It goes along with what I said plenty of times: Blacks are the first to stand up for other races' plight because "we know how it feels" While blacks are so busy caping for those who don't care about what the black race goes through, who's standing up for us? Who's looking out for us? It's long overdue for black people to start looking out for self, but we have to come together as a people first.
Preach! Black people are the first to cape for those who don’t care about us and what we go through daily. We look out for others before we look out for self. https://t.co/5pmNlF1BNN— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) March 20, 2019
