I choose to be true to myself, and I refuse to allow other people’s opinions of me, dictate my path. This life that I am living is a journey that I must walk, even if I have to walk it alone. Uncle Paul
All in Money
“I am not a victim to my emotions or actions. I have the power to control them. What I say or what I do is my choice, and there are no excuses. I must own it.” Uncle Paul
“Whatever you are going through, remember this, it’s just temporary-it’s not your destiny.” Uncle Paul
“Remove the obstacles from your life and restore your flow.”
Uncle Paul
"PEOPLE WILL JUDGE YOU.
PEOPLE WILL TALK ABOUT YOU.
PEOPLE WILL MISUNDERSTAND YOU.
BUT I HAVE COME TO THE
CONCLUSION THAT WHAT OTHER
PEOPLE THINK ABOUT ME
IS NONE OF MY BUSINESS."
“My point is simply this; I’m allowed to experience the feelings and struggles associated with my current life circumstances, and so are you. Never minimize your feelings and needs, even if someone else’s is far more tragic.” UNCLE PAUL
“A house built on sand cannot stand, and a foundation built upon lies will surely fall.” Uncle Paul
Play Your Game
“When we compete with others, we get distracted and begin to play their game. Don’t let others throw you off your game plan, continue to play your game. After all, that is the only game that matters.” Uncle Paul
Your Pain Is Not For You
“Maybe God has allowed some pain and suffering in your life so that it would open the doors of opportunity for us to help those that only we can help. Why? Because we have walked in their shoes and can understand their pain in a way that no one else can. Our journey came with some pain and suffering, and maybe, because of what we experience, we can use our pain to lighten the burdens of for someone else. What the devil meant for evil, turned out to be a blessing for others.” Uncle Paul
Share Your Story
“God didn’t pull us out of that dark place so that we could keep it to ourselves. He pulled us out so that we can help pull others out also.” Uncle Paul
Stop Wasting Precious Time
“So, we must make the best of the time that we are given. For the future is not promised, so we must seize today and live it like there will be no tomorrow. We must love today day as if we have never been hurt before. We must step out on the dance floor of life, and dance like nobody is watching. We must sing like we are in the shower and nobody listening, and we must live like its heaven on earth. Each day comes bearing its own gifts, and we must untie, the ribbons, open the box and use the gift.” Uncle Paul
It’s Time To Customized Your Life
“WE WERE NOT BORN TO BE CARBON COPIES; WE WERE BORN TO BE DESIGNER ORIGINALS. WE ARE CUSTOMIZABLE. DON’T SETTLE FOR THE DEFAULT SETTINGS IN LIFE. THE WORLD DOESN’T NEED ANOTHER CARBON COPY; WE NEED A CUSTOMIZED YOU." Uncle Paul
Nothing Substitutes for Hard Work. Nothing
“If you want something bad enough, you have to make sacrifices. You have to grind your ass off and fight your way to success. If you want it bad enough, you have to work longer and harder than anyone else. Book knowledge and degrees are great, but nothing substitutes for old fashion hard work.”
Uncle Paul
Celebrate the Small Victories
“Don’t wait until we’ve reached our goals to celebrate. It is the little victories that happen along the way, that reaffirms our commitment to the process. We must rejoice when we accomplish what seems like even a small victory, and we must learn to cherish the process on the way to our big victories. Someone once said, that our victories are won not in miles but in inches. Win a little now, hold your ground, and win a little more later. Don’t wait for “someday” to celebrate, celebrate the small victories along the way and be happy now.”
Push through it.
“Thought: Don’t let life’s stress fractures, challenges and disappointments cast a shadow on tomorrow's dreams. We will face challenges, but we must push through them. It’s going to be painful, but we must push as hard as we can, to get to the other side of the pain. For it is on the other side of the pain, that we will find out, that all the pain was all worth it. Push through it.” Uncle Paul
Change Your Trajectory, Change Your Life.
“Your next decision can change the trajectory of your life. You have to make a choice, so choose wisely.” Uncle Paul
Let Past Be Your Past
“Let your past be a lesson, that has been learned and applied. The only way you can continue to be harmed by your past is if you let it. Your past is your past, now, brush that dirt off your shoulders and march forward with your head in the air and with a new determination.” Uncle Paul
Day Thirty-Four: 40-Day Journey of Gratitude
"We are some greedy people. We always want more, more and more. What we really need is to appreciate all of the things that we already have. So, take a breath and chill for a moment and just be grateful, for what you have right now. If we never see another blessing, we are already blessed beyond measure." Uncle Paul
Day Twenty-One: 40-Day Journey of Gratitude
"Anytime, is a good time to laugh. May your days be filled with joy and at least one good, gut-wrenching, tears running down your face, belly-laugh." Uncle Paul
Day Seventeen: 40-Day Journey of Gratitude
"The gifts and talents that we have been given, are not for our own benefit. They are to be used for the benefit of others. The gifts of God, are given to be used, and not to be hoarded nor collected. So, unwrap your gifts and discover God's will, and His purpose for your life. After all, there is a good work that He has prepared in advance, that you must walk in." Uncle Paul
