“Every fighter has a strategy until he gets punched in the face. Only then is his true skill and determination challenged and brought to light. We are all fighters in this thing called life, and EVERYONE gets hit eventually. Will you be ready?”

—Nadir Keval

sometimes you have days where your heart feels flat and empty.

today is one of those days.

most days i can understand that what i’m doing right now will lead me to where God wants me, but i’m struggling today. is this really what you want me to be doing, Lord? does He want me to sit behind a desk 40+ hours a week, daydreaming of when He’ll have me out in the world doing whatever it is He has planned for me?

You know Your desires and mine. i trust You.

“The bitterness of this world is the sweetness of the hereafter.”

“To struggle is an awareness and a consciousness. It's better to live and fight for a noble cause then to live and die a slave. When we look at ourselves in the context of the 60's, we see one of the major shortcomings was that we were emulating the people that we were fighting against. Our morals and our ethics were the morals and ethics of the people we were fighting against. How do you bring about a consciousness and awareness amongst humanity that makes them strive for the best. And again, it begins with ourselves. If you can't beat yourself you can't beat nobody else. Everybody can fight but everybody can't win. There's some discipline, there's a price that is paid to win. Struggle has not stopped. It didn't begin in the 50's and end in the 70's. Know, there has always been a struggle since the anti-slavery movement, Marcus Garvey movement, the Black Power movement, Civil Rights movement. They come and they go, but the struggle is continuous.”

—Imam Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin (H. Rap. Brown) speaking at a Kwame Ture Benefit (mid-90’s).
