My Philosophy: "No Doubt"

"I've come to a point in my life where attaining "success" has become my daily obsession. I meditate on what it means daily; the conclusion I came to is when your passion meets your purpose, only can you attain success. And in no way is it at all as simple as 'do what you love and everything else will follow'.

My formula is first and foremost, have true faith in God to provide you with everything you need and keep God first on your journey.

Self-Sufficiency

"If we did all the things we are capable of,
we would literally astound ourselves."

- Thomas Edison

ILLDRM© Sunday Good Word: Listening and Doing

19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. 21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.

26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

 James 1:19-27

"Seven Layers of Could've Beens"

"I thought I needed you for security,
Instead I took my frustration and stabbed myself in the heart.
As a noble soldier, but I liked it.
I mean. Loved it.
I thought I needed you for security,
Rushed by all the people at my door,
I should've opened it and I felt as if I needed to.
Run away, from what I loved,
Everything.
I thought I needed you for security,
A lamp was lit by the candle,
And that's when I envisioned it.
A subtle learner.
I thought I needed you for security,
To feel safe in my own bed.
Laying between the sheets that burdens me,
A life that could've been.
I thought I needed you for security,
I'm so Glad to know that it was just a thought.
Witnessing my truth yet understanding my faith is all the security I'll ever need
Vanished without a trace lost in a haste
Of a action that can jeopardize my future.
I thought I needed you for security,
Knowing that you were securely locked in my past haunted my present
And what life I had left.
I so openly called it theft,
Stealing what matters most to me, yet dignifying yourself
In my honor.
I thought I needed,
What could have been."

Symbolically Yours, 

~Sherika

Wisdom for Women

"The Flashing Lights, Yeah
We Love It All
The Nice Cars, Clothes, Being Pro
But What About the Darkness Behind The Lens, though?
Do We Continue to Follow the Lights,
So Bright,
Until We Lose All Sight...
of What is Right...
Which is Simply Where We Came From..?
We Left Home, On a Flight
Directed Straight Towards the Plight
of the Flashing Lights.
So Bright.
We Ignore The Light We Once Were
For the Others, Still...
In The Dark."

Expectations

ILLEGALDREAM©: Quote of the Day

LET GO

"Let the excuses go...the ones that have kept you stuck in a past you can not change while looking toward a future you can not predict. Give up the training wheels...the invisible walls around your own mind that have kept you in the safe, secure, shallow and familiar waters of your life.
Life will take you over some bumps, bruises, potholes and cliffs. Do not let these clip your wings, scare you out of living or shake your belief in the power of your own dream. No matter what your past has been, or where you find yourself right now...know that it is possible to laugh, love and live again. Believe that you can make a difference ~ right here, right now..with your voice and your story! 

Remember, you have something special.

You have GREATNESS within you!"

ILLDRM© Sunday Good Word: "KEEP MOVING!"

"Keep moving!
You may be tired, fired, burnt out and don't feel like it...
but keep moving!
You may have stacks of bills and be stressed out about how to pay them....
but keep moving!
You may have drama or trauma in your life, relationships, children, or career....
but keep moving.
Someone you care deeply about may be ill or declining in health.
It is their journey.
You are here to love, support and/or accompany them...not to become them,
so keep moving!
Life may hand you a set of keys that won't open any doors.
Crawl out a window and keep moving!
You will get past this moment.
You will feel stronger and more hopeful than you are now.
Resolve that you can and will do this.
Just keep moving!
You have something special.
You have GREATNESS within you!"

- Les Brown

On the last day of vacation spent in San Diego, CA
there was a man, on the corner of a Downtown plaza
playing sounds from the Heavens.
An instant adventure of curiosity began in search of
the memorizing tunes from above.
There he was.
A very courageous individual who played as if
he was the baddest in the land
and had a spirit unlike many talents who live to not only entertain
but to bring happiness into everyone's life that witnesses their gifts from God.

"Every day,

think as you wake up,

today I am fortunate to be alive,

I have a precious human life,

I am not going to waste it.

I am going to use all my energies to develop myself,

to expand my heart out to others;

to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings.

I am going to have kind thoughts towards others,

I am not going to get angry or think badly about others.

I am going to benefit others as much as I can.

We can never obtain peace in the outer world

until we make peace with ourselves."

- Dalai Lama

Make Your Move

"Your life is a gift to the world. Be the gift that you were born to be. Everything you have experienced up to now ~ the good, the bad and the ugly, can be used for a greater good. Regardless of what is going on around you, be thankful that you are still here. You have new thoughts, untapped strength and more skills that can be developed. Life is not through with you yet.

Forget about your age and don't think about the odds. You have an assignment - a higher calling. You know it. Demonstrate faith in your ideas, strengthen your abilities and use your talents. The world is waiting for you. Your mission is possible. Work to create a larger vision for your life and unleash the power in you to make things happen. It's your time. Make your move.

You have GREATNESS within you!"

Ask Yourself...

Do you work for an audience of One?

What difference does this make in the way you work?

ILLDRM© Sunday Good Word: LOVE IN ACTION

"Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord’s people who are in need.
Practice hospitality.

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another.
Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.
Do not be conceited.

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. On the contrary:

“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;

if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.

In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."

- Jevante Francis

ILLDRM© Saturday Shout Out: Nolaj

"What ILLDream means to me:

In my personal opinion the IllegalDream is the dream that we aren't suppose to have growing up in poverty in inner cities all over the country. The ILLDream is very similar to Dr. Martin Luther Kings dream. It's a dream that the oppressor doesn't want us to think can become a reality. It's the dream that anything can be achieved no matter what a persons circumstances are. The ILLDream is a dream that one day all humanity will act out of love. That one day people will raise their awareness and be more conscious of how much negativity is being fed to us through the media. IllegalDream Positive Mindstate is inspiration for the kids in cities like Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, South Central L.A., Oakland CA. and many more. It's for Kids who grow up around nothing but negativity and think there isn't anything else in the world except for what they see. ILLDream will let them know that there are positive people in the world to gravitate towards and as long as we put our creator first anything is possible."

ILLDRM© Saturday Shout Out: Phil Burgundy

"It isn't illegal to dream so DREAM BIG.

Your knowledge and dreams are two things which cannot be physically taken.

The only limits in life are the ones you place upon yourself.

When I hear IllegalDream

I think VISION, DRIVE, HOPE and Overcoming Obstacles.

Keep on dreaming!"

Be beautiful.

From one visionary to another, first let me say thank you for the continued support as we redefine, rearrange & reemerge. The journey is greatly appreciated & very humbling. I pen sh*t today from somewhere underneath Los Angeles traveling through man made tunnels at outrageous speeds.

The dream remains illegal,
so illegal that we cannot discuss the upcoming moves."

ILLDRM© Saturday Shout Out: Daryl

"The IllegalDream.
To understand that you vibrate on a different level and to accept your uniqueness.
To embrace your creativity and your gifts.
To share with love and passion your love

and teachings no matter what the topic or field.
To live, not exist to do what it is that simply makes you smile
and not let anyone take it away from you.
As for me, to continue to grow everyday and grow everyone I come in contact with so that I may leave this earth with people thinking better of other people.
My thoughts and dreams are not utopian for they are possible.
But to many...... considered ILLEGAL.

Commit to being better!"

off of pure love.

You all are very appreciated.
