The Simple Reality of Joy


Joy can be defined as the emotion of great happiness. The emotion that is evoked by well-being, success, good fortune or by the prospect of possessing what one desires. Joy really determines what sort of person we are. This simple emotion has the power to change our whole life course. We do well to ask ourself these questions:
*What motivates me?
*When do I feel my best?
*How does accomplishment and success make me feel?
*I am a better person when?
*When I smile, what is the reason behind it?
The answers are all one simple emotion, JOY. In REALITY, we are not always down and out. Something in us evokes the emotion of joy. After reading this post, take the time to think about this post. I challenge you to find joy in something through the course of your day. Post a comment and share it with the rest of the readers.

Afeni Shakur - Speaks Reality in Memphis


Afeni Shakur is a urban reality. She offers empowerment to college students in Memphis. She delivered the reality of urban living. She urges them to use their mind and think for themselves. I really felt what she was speaking about. She urged the audience to think of others than themselves. She brought the reality out about individuals that are so hopeless that they take their own lives.
I am especially fond of her, her words, her movement and empowerment. I am a huge fan of her son Tupac Shakur. Through his music you can hear what she instilled in his mind as a youth. She is very liberated from her past life as a Black Panther activist, former drug addict. From listening to her speech she has a new found hope, spirituality and joy.
Listen to her speech, did she not speak on REALITY!
