“The problem with lethargy is that doing nothing validates the fear that nothing can be done.”

True ‘magic’ is simply the ability to transcend what seems to be and, thus, transform one’s experience. Maybe we could all use a little ‘Harry Potter’ in our lives.

Creating a meaningful life has less to do with how we feel about our past than what we do about our future.

In order to become more influential with those who are resistant to our point of view, we must be willing to start with what is influencing them.

It’s not simply what we feel, but what we feed, that determines what we do and how we live.

We limit our success when we mistake the limits of our perception for reality.

When we take care of ourselves like we would take care of someone we love, the quality of our living and our giving goes up.

The problem with righteous indignation is that even when you’re right, you’re still left feeling indignant.

Never make your highest purpose, or the most important thing in your life something that is outside of your control.

Life is not a means to an end but a series of experiences. Are you creating your series ‘on purpose’ ?

Becoming critical in the face of criticism, only inspires more criticism.

How do you keep people from jerking your chain? Don’t give your chain to jerks!

Autonomy, Purpose, & Mastery: If you are having difficulty creating the life you want, chances are one or more of these are missing.

When we take no responsibility for any aspect of our past, we limit our ability to respond in the present and the future.

The most powerful times in our lives can be the time between times, or life’s transitions that give us the opportunity to choose.

To understand ourself, we must understand our “selves,” or the parts of us that motivate our thoughts, decisions, and behaviors.

A process for discernment: God is my ultimate source of truth and wisdom, and dwells forever at the center of my being. Therefore, any thought, emotion, or action that takes me further from my center can be neither truthful, nor wise.

I would say I started rapping because my friends were doin it.

What I love about doing my concerts is always feeding off the fans and their energy.

We’re gonna keep on doin’ what we’re doin’, and we’re gonna get it by all means. That’s just what “ruthless” means to me. Everybody’s got their own definition, but I’m ruthless with this music.

I was never afraid to take that step, to see what I was capable of doing. Does luck play a role in success, particularly in a creative field?

The budgets are runnin’ low, the streets ain’t really got money no more, things are just dryin’ up; I just felt like people needed some motivation, so I took ’em ‘Overtime.’

There’s a lot of people that try to come between my clique and try to stop what we’re doin’, but we got no mercy for ’em.

I’m a young dude, and there ain’t too many people who are doin’ it like I’m doin’ it. There ain’t no others in my lane – I am the future of this music.

The gratification comes in the doing, not in the results.
