This morning I feeling really inspired by a lot of people, but let me tell you some of the benefits of having a partner who motivates/inspires you to be the best than you can be,

1. They truly want the best for you, and will push you to be the best version of you.
2. They bring out the best version of you.
3. You learn from them, which pushes you even more.
4. They give you purposeful advice
5. There are so many benefits, that I couldn’t even list them all if I wanted to.

But, Sekou has been working very hard for several months now. Some of you may or may not know that both his cousins and him, create music, and they have been putting music out every Friday. Late nights I’ve been watching him tired from a long day at work, going to record music, and getting back to the house to create artwork, and upload music. All while being an amazing father to our daughter. I always compliment him, and try to push him just as he does me, to be consistent, and just be the best version of himself.

Sekou keep up the great work, Alani is watching and i’m sure she is going to be proud.

Also, for my readers go to their soundcloud (Upnorfdotcom) and listen to the music they’ve been putting out. My ABSOLUTE favorite right now is ‘Treat You Right’, which you can hear, here. I’ve loved this song from the first time I heard it like 10 years ago, okay i’m over exaggerating, maybe like 4 years ago, but I couldn’t wait for everyone to hear it, and I’m so happy that it’s out now, so go listen, and let me know what you think!

I just finished reading one of my favorite books (The Seven Spiritual Laws Of Success) for the 100th time.

I could never get tired of this book. It’s like every time I read it I learn something new that I missed the last time.

One of my favorite parts of this book is the chapter “The Law Of Giving”, which is where I got the quote above from.

This book is definitely worth the read, whenever you have some leisure time, (which I know is hard when you have a little one) you should read, and let me know what you think.

Yesterday I went to a fundraiser for Pamela Harris who is running for Assembly in the 46th district.

Yesterdays event was one of those events that you leave from so inspired. It makes you believe that you can be anything you want, as long as you put in hard work and dedication.

Pam is my sister in-laws aunt, and since I’ve known her, I’ve known her to be a strong advocate for her community. She has an organization called the Coney Island Generation Gap helping the youth, family and senior citizens. There are so many creditable jobs that I am missing, but just believe me when I say that his woman is phenomenal, and is the perfect example of hard works pays off.

Sekou made a great comment yesterday saying that many people work hard and are dedicated to their work to make themselves better, but Pam is not only dedicated to her life but to others as well, and that’s a big role to take on. [Read more…]
