First Lap Of The Race...

What's going on blog world? Today was the first official day of break for me after completing my first year of college and I've surely been waiting on it. I came into school expecting to simply mope through it and have a horrible time but I was pleasantly surprised. This year turned out to be a great growing experience for me and I would not trade it for anything....

I lost some people in my life, some relationships soured, my heart went through a lot of emotional toil but I'm still here. During those times, giving up seemed like a great option but I had to fall back on my religious beliefs that I've been brought this far so why would God let me just fall now. There were times where I thought I was over my head head as far at school, socially and more importantly education wise but I'm still here. Friends have disappointed me, some have moved away from me but it's all apart of life and I'm still here able to write about it. It was not all negative thoughts though...

My GPA is on the higher end of the 3.0 scale and I'm quite satisfied with that. Though I told myself I did not need any new friends, I've made plenty worthwhile friendships that I truly cherish. Not going to name them because hopefully you know that you matter to me. Any questions about it let me know because I have no problem letting people know where they stand with me. I'm really starting to feel within my soul that F.O.C. is on a brink of making the needed break but we just have to remain humble and keep working hard. Hey, you may hear PromoDave on a track soon...you didn't hear it from me though, lol.

Shoutouts though to my big brother on receiving his Master's degree. If no one else says it, I'm proud. We get enough negative news to look at on a daily basis and your dedication to proving the statistics wrong is quite admirable.

My upcoming goals and suggested goals for those around me....Take advantage of every single day. Sounds really simple but it's surely hard to grasp. Plenty of us worry about what is going to happen in the future or changing what we have done and we simply lose focus on the tasks right in front of us. I guarantee/hope that if you focus on what is right in front of you then everything else you desire will fall in place. Keep God with you and the Sky is the Limit...

Couldn't leave you all without a quote....


Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.
Confucius
Basically, don't allow your fears to overcome your abilities/goals. The only things that truly can hold us back are our inhibitions and our reluctance. Never be afraid to fail but rather be scared of knowing you didn't try.

Songs Suggestions....Drake "Closer" and the song he sampled, Goapele "Closer". I guarantee if you analyze it closely, you are much closer to your dreams than you have noticed. Don't be satisfied with this proximity though, be motivated to finish the race. Also, note that the length of the race is not important, rather the style and grace used to finish the race.

God Bless...PromoDave Signing Out....
