When you represent your business, put your best food forward.  Look like you want others to look up to you. See what they see.  Be who you want them to see.

Dress for your personal success.  Associate with those you admire to succeed with.

Make your personal goals higher standards.  Walk with your head up, proud of the knowledge of who you are.

Choose to stand alone, when the choices to stand with are not acceptable to your personal standards.

Honor the you that you can and want to become.

Set one goal that makes you do something that teaches you a forward needed skill.  Be your best and make a plan.

Plan to walk a little taller.  Dance a little longer.  Sing a little sweeter. Love with all that you are.

and never stop praying.

Believe in your religion.  Know doctrine.  Don’t worry about what you don’t know about other religions.

In all my experiences, no one, other than the person who believes and practices their own religion, KNOWS that religion.

The worst thing you can do, is tell me what I believe.  No one knows what I believe more than I do.

If you want to know about what I believe, ask me.  No one else can tell you.

Just as I wouldn’t go ask a baker how to change the oil, in my car, I would not go to a particular leader, of any church, and ask about another church.

Its  not insulting to my religion.. its insulting to my intelligence.

I was looking for a poem, that I read, over a year ago, online.. it was a letter to a non-muslim woman.. comparing what one feels is negative, in both directions.. a muslim woman’s approach to not feeling oppressed because of her modest dress.. religious beliefs..

While I was seeking this Google Juice, I ran into a post, written by an “anonymous” Arab/Muslim/Female, in a student magazine.

I stopped, just after this paragraph, to collect my thoughts.

I don’t think that I am downplaying anything when I feel that any spiritual or religious person is not much different than me.

I find it interesting that the religions that seem to hate each other, the most.. have the most in common.

Its not easy being peculiar.

As a general thought.. Righteous Muslims, True Christians, and Devout Jews are very much alike. They are all trying to do the best that they can.. while they endure..

waiting for the same thing!

The only differences are semantics.. how things are done.. why things are done..

In the end, we are all trusting our God.. and waiting for what comes next.

It doesn’t matter if the name’s are in different languages..

When we are truly honest, with ourselves, we don’t find a need to hide behind the tag “anonymous.” Or maybe that was the only way to admit that one lacks whatever is needed to not want to “punch others in the face..”

If you can’t put your name next to something you write/say/type, then maybe you should re-evaluate what you are saying.

IF we all try hard enough.. we can find even the most innocent comments, offensive.

We must stand for something.. if we wish to be witnesses of truth.
