And, for me, doing that (finding peace) meant breaking away from everything I knew, that was in my life, including family and friends. I had to reinvent myself, start re-conditioning myself and be by myself. I had to learn how to value solitude and study up. I had to look in the mirror and be honest. I had to let go, surrender and define spirit for my self.
Most important, I try to be myself at all times, from my name to my sig, to my personal values. Integrity in important to me.
The funny thing is that there are plenty of people who would try and shoot this down, bring me down, get all into what I am trying to do for myself rather than focus on what they need to do for themselves. That is what Western culture has done. Anything that is working from another angle is a threat or needs to be attacked. This used to bother me but I am letting it go.
"Trials and tribulations make you stronger live longer You wanna reach the nation nigga start from your corner Everything in life don't always happen like you plan it Demand it, overstand it, then you handle it Fuck wishing, you missing the ambition in your mission Now you switching, why you quitting 'cuz it's heat in the kitchen? --Big Boi
"Know thyself"
"Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you or forsake you". So we may boldly say, "The Lord is my helper, I will not fear. What can man do to me?" -- Hebrews 13:5,6
"There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path" --Morpheus in "The Matrix"
"It's our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities"- Dumbledore to Harry Potter "Chamber of Secrets"
