    Respect is a fickle thing.  Even when most of society approves of my actions, there will always be someone who holds me in contempt.

    In my opinion, age is no excuse to withdraw or turn meek.  On the contrary, it’s a reason to become increasingly audacious and a lot more focused, because life has given me a better picture of what I want and how to get it.

    Oftentimes, it’s hard to enjoy the “difficult moments.” But if I can look for lessons within the adversity, and do my best to cultivate them into blessings, then I will gain an advantage from any and all phenomena. And then, in the long run, it will be a whole lot easier to enjoy every moment,…

    Being careful about the beliefs you allow to affect your perception is like picking the right prescription for a pair of glasses; your beliefs can induce HD clarity, or they can fuzz and muddy it. It’s all about picking the right prescription. Get Echo Vol. 1 on Kindle here:  Vol. 1 on Kindle.  Vol. 2 on Kindle here:…
