A call out to the Men!!!

Fellas, Brothers, Men….
When are we going to take ownership and be responsible, accountable and put the ego to the side, support one another, but most importantly stand behind our women? When are we going to let the machoism go and stop worrying about what the next man is saying or thinking about us? We are suppose to set and lead by example! In order for our homes to be at full force we need to stand tall. We have so much strength according to us in the gym (Ballys, L.A.Fitness, Export), but yet we don’t stand strong in the areas we should such as, our homes, children, communities,etc. We can run, but can’t hide. I’m calling a spade a spade because I once lived the same way, but I no longer care what the next man thinks of me because I realize finally it’s not about me. Our children need us. We complain everyday, how they’re doing this and doing that, but don’t forget we were once kids that did the same thing and sometimes worse. We forget we once had parents, whether it was a single mother, who did the same thing we are doing. So the big question is, When do we stop the cycle? Well, I choose to stop it now. I could careless that you ridicule or talk against what I am doing. This picture is bigger than us. We(men) want the finer things in life, beautiful women with nice bodies, nice cars, jobs, but do we want to work at it? Why don’t we talk about how we are going to hold our families and women down; instead we talk about watching basketball players (D.Rose, Kobe, Chris Paul). on television. Why aren’t we trying to find a solution and come up with a plan on how we can better educate our kids against the negative effects of what the media is teaching them such as music videos, video games, etc. We need to pay closer attention to the one person who really makes us and continue to be there for us. Our Woman! Our Queen! Our Wife! or whatever endearing term you choose to use. We act like we can do this without them, but we all know that’s a bunch of crap. How many of us have begged our way back in when we have messed up? I’m sure many are too egotistical to admit it. Well, I will be the first to admit it, I have that’s why I was blessed with the opportunity to come up with something as great as B.O.R.N. (Building Our Relationships NOW). Although many of us have crawled our way back to a lost love, but here’s a better idea, how about don’t mess up the first time. If you know better, then do better, right your wrongs before they exacerbate into a catastrophe. I am not here to judge anyone, however I am speaking the facts. I know it’s not every man, but its the majority of us that fall short. Let’s stand together and mean something to our mother’s, wives, sisters, nieces, etc. What do they all have in common? They are all women, so let’s treat them as such….QUEENS. How do we expect our daughters or future daughters to be treated with respect if we don’t treat women with respect. Kinda backwards and selfish, huh? My plea is let’s take our position and be real men to our little boys who one day will become men. We need to be men, act like men, be better fathers, husbands, show support to one another, be role models to our boys, help raise our girls to be respectful ladies, and build back up our communities. Break the Cycle NOW. Be what God Designed us to be…..Leaders!

Know your God!!!

Let's not only give a positive word or Prayer when someone is sad or there has been a death. Let's not only Pray and seek God when we need something or want him to get us out of a bind. Let's support, Pray and lift one another up all the time.....DAILY!! B.O.R.N. all the way...

Move on before it's too late!!!

Message from B.O.R.N. Stop Domestic Violence NOW!!.....Ladies, you don't have to take it. Get out of it when the sign is shown. Save yourself. You should be loved not pounded on or cursed out. Verbal abuse/Profanity leads to physical violence. GET OUT NOW!!!

Know who you have on your side!!!

No matter how talented one may be never let their negative spirit sabotage your hard work or vision. (remove yourself). Everybody's not meant to do business together. That's why it's called reason, season or lifetime. This too applies to relationships. Sometimes as hard as it may sound, you may have to disconnect from family members if they are not on the same page.

The moral of the story: Only bring into your world those that are ready to move forward and for those backsliders, let them feed off your positive energy and if they are hungry, they will take it all in. No matter what, never give up!!!
