Hmmmm, indeed. You are not only destined for greatness. You've already attained it... you achieve it each day you live and strive to break the cycle of opression. Be proud of your accomplishments and think of failure as a detour. The struggle doesn't end. We just find new ways to fight.

What gurantee do you have that you will have a positive outcome?

Just because you struggled and had hardships in your past doesn't mean your automatically exalted for greatness. You can struggle and still fail.

Powerful words you write, and powerful man you are. Don't doubt yourself. I come here, and am just consumed and moved by your substancial thoughts and just literally astounded. You're going places, despite your past, despite the people who failed you. You as a mind, a soul, a whole being are in transit that transcends beyond all authority, because movement is spoken in your heart.

Reminiscing…It is sometime scary to reminisce. It can sometimes bring a since of longing, confusing and oft times regret. I had a great childhood, as I recall, but there were many bittersweet moments that pepper those memories. However, memories are important. They are the seeds inside us that allow most of us to grow. (How corny was that?) Peace, my brother.

Deep thoughts, my brother....I understand coming from humble beginning, having being raised in poverty and on food stamps myself. But, we were always happy and it took a mean young lady in junior high to inform me that my family was indeed poor. It can be a shocking revelation to you, I will tell you that. But my mother never taught us to be ashame and encouraged all of her five children to get an education and to be the best they could be. Of course we all took different paths, as is expected, but I am pretty much happy with the way I turned out. Sure, I have made some bad decisions, but nothing that have brought complete devastation unto my family (at least nothing that they are aware of).

Well written, but more important, well lived. You're certainly destined for greatness...we'll be watching, applauding and smiling through each of your accomplishments. Keep sharing, keep living and keep seeing your amazing potential.
