So....its definitely been a minute since I last hit yall with some good old fashion inspirational quotes from those in the hip-hop community. So I figured who better for this weeks post than Rev. Run? The Reverend has a blog on Global Grind, on which he frequently posts thought provoking and inspirational quotes, which in my opinion get slept on. So what I have decided to do for yall is to take my favorite Rev Run quotes and "Run" them by yall once more:
(On Friends, Association & Obession)
"The best way to disconnect from wrong people is to
become obsessed with doing the right thing! When your obsession
is to do the right thing, wrong people will find you unbearable.
Believe me that overweight, lazy, unfocused people will not follow
you to the gym! Nor do those up to no good,, reeeaaaally wanna tag
along for the ride to the Synagogue, the Mosque or the Bishop TD
Jakes Mega fest!"
(On Decision Making)
"The scripture says.. A double minded man is unstable
in ALL his ways.. Pick a direction.. make up ur mind!... (Remember this)
STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IS VERY DANGEROUS,, YOU GET KNOCKED DOWN BY TRAFFIC COMING FROM BOTH SIDES!!"
More Quotes After The Jump!!!
(On Thinking & Expectations)
"You will always gravitate towards your secret desires. God doesn't
answer your worded prayer as much as he answers your innermost
thoughts. The Bible says the secret to prayer is to believe that you
will receive what you want. Here's the problem: Most people pray for
one thing and expect another. Remember that when you pray you don't
get what you pray for, YOU get what you expect!
(Mans ambition is his true prayer). He who worketh with a slack
hand tendeth to poverty,. But the diligent shall be made rich..
Happy, Fortunate.... (Proverbs)"
( On Criticism)
"If you want to avoid criticism... Do nothing... Say nothing...
BE NOTHING..."
(On Monotony, Growth and Change)
"Monotony is a RAPID AGER. The mind grows stale very quickly under a
monotonous life, a humdrum existence. Lack of growth, of interest,
of change is fatal!!.. People who live the same kind of life year in
and year out age rapidly. (Remember) The shriveling up process, the
wrinkles, all appear in the mind first.Keep changing.Stay fresh,
Stay excited...."
( On Loyalty and Friendships)
"A wise man once said…. The true test of relationships is
not only how loyal we are when friends fail, but how thrilled we are
when they succeed. (Remember this) Many average people do not want
others to go beyond average….. The question we must ask ourselves
is this…. Do I enjoy and root for the success of my friends???? "
