Outside of his beautiful R&B ballads, who knew that Tyrese Gibson was so inspirational? Sitting in this public place smiling with cell phone close to ear, listening to every word that is coming from this young man is amazing. There’s not a quiet place in this establishment where I can get my praise on.  His words are so powerful and transforming that the sender of the video had to be thanked. Have you ever come across a song, a video, a poem so incredible that you want to cherish it? You want to keep it to yourself because it speaks to you?  
 

Life brings many ups and downs and it’s really not that difficult to stay on the up. One can balance those feelings by listening to the plethora of positive, inspirational tapes and videos. Negative influences are squeezed out making you a happier, healthier person. God knows every time where to meet you. The strangest thing is an encouraging quote I’d heard some time ago but couldn’t remember it verbatim. It was spoken on a television program now in re-runs.

Sometimes you just have to let people and things go. Trying to correct the mistakes or make amends only satisfies the ego of the presumed victim. You are not going to love or appreciate everyone equally and that is your prerogative. The television program where I’d first heard the quote in mention was being played the very next day. I grabbed my pen and paper and got ready to jot down that quote. That word was fire and life. “The best way would be to avoid each other without appearing to do so -- or if we jostle, at any rate not to bite.” Lord Byron, letter of April 25, 1814
