Hate On Me!

"Every time you are tempted to react in the same old ways, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future."

-Deepak Chopra

This quote elicited nostalgic feeling of my young adult self; a blatant reminder of confident deficiency and conformity.

It is times like this that I'm beholden to the significance of time; wisdom that time bestows and lessons learned.  Time's best reward affords the uncompromising lack of desire to people please.

Somewhere along life's journey, I've relinquished the desire to relish unsolicited opinions and critiques.

At the very least, I'm no longer allowing the stench to linger.  Stench immunity propels one to self-power.  Thereby, one is bestowed a measure of fearlessness, knowing that you are beneath no one.

Be careful that the prison that find yourself in, isn't the one that you put yourself in.  How unfortunate to have lived in  confinement, when you were the key holder?  We are truly sometimes our own worst enemy.

May the freedom from others' self-imposed values bequeath your own portion of fearlessness.  Simply, unlock the door and walk into your own authenticity.

"Hate On Me" by Jill Scott is an absolute favorite of mines -  my ringtone. 

 Lyrics to Hate On Me:

If I could give you the world on a silver platter
Would it even matter? You'd still be mad at me
If I could find in all this a dozen roses
Which I would give to you, you'd still be miserable

In reality I'm gon' be who I be and I don't feel no faults
For all the lies that you bought
You can try as you may, break me down when I say
That it ain't up to you, gonna do what you do

Hate on me, hater, now or later
'Cause I'm gonna do me, you'll be made, baby
Go 'head and hate on me, hater, I'm not afraid of
What I got I paid for, you can hate on me

Ooh, if I gave you peaches outta my own garden
And I made you a peach pie, would you slap me out?
Wonder if I gave you diamonds out of my own womb
Would you feel the love in that or ask why not the moon?

If I gave you sanity for the whole of humanity
Handed all the solutions for the pain and pollution
No matter where I live, despite the things I give
You'll always be this way, so go 'head and

Hate on me, hater, now or later
'Cause I'm gonna do me, you'll be made, baby
Go 'head and hate on me, hater, I'm not afraid of
What I got I paid for, you can hate on me

You cannot hate on me 'cause my mind is free
Feel my destiny, so shall it be
You cannot hate on me 'cause my mind is free
Feel my destiny, so shall it be

Hate on me, hater, now or later
'Cause I'm gonna do me, you'll be made, baby
Go 'head and hate on me, hater, I'm not afraid of
What I got I paid for, you can hate on me
