Be DOPE!
*Note: the word Dope is being hyper-used in the following post.
Being DOPE starts by looking in the mirror and saying, "I'm Dope". Then think of all the reasons you have to pat yourself on the back. If you're having a hard time, you may need to get to work doing dope things!!You can do this by finding something you're very good at and doing it! That varies per person so be creative and honestly...just be you; that's a GREAT place to start!! Once you claim your dopeness, let your physical presentation reflect that. Your personal style says a lot about you. Be sure that it says what YOU WANT!!:-)
Ok, on to the pretty red elephant in the room...It's Valentine's Day!! How are you spending it?? With a special someone, with no one or with yourself??!! I 'll make this quick in case you have hot plans for tonight.... I'm learning to love me. I'm learning that, eh hem (Whitney Houston voice) "The greatest love of allllll, is easy to achieeeeve....learning to love yourself, it is the greatest LOVE of alllll!!"
Yes, indeed. So, I'm taking care of my body, I'm thinking positive thoughts and I'm reinforcing it outwardly; that's a clever way to say...I've been shopping. The pictures below are the latest items I bought for myself that made me feel loved, by me. They make me feel pretty DOPE!!
-The mug says: "I Love You"... because I love me.
-The shirt says: "You'll never find a girl who is more AWESOME than ME" Which is debatable because I know some really awesome ladies, but I digress..
-The oxfords, well the oxfords are just pretty dope, don't you think??!!
Now I understand this day may not be "happy" for everyone. If it isn't don't fret. Work on finding true love within, then project that, THEN watch what you attract!
If you're madly in love with someone on this day. Show it...but not just today. Do it next week too and then again the following day, then two days after that, then..... get it?? Don't let this be the only day you show how much you care :-)
....told you it'd be quick ;-)
BE positive, BE great, BE blessed and ...... BE DOPE!!

Let Your Haters Be...FORGOTTEN!!
Great Greetings Folks,
We're all getting ready for the week ahead I'm sure. Sunday is a great day to set the tone for the work week and I've got just the thing to help do it!!! Every Sunday will be Song-Day here in Liberate Yourself land!!! Aren't you completely blown away by the originality of that title!!!??? (Hehehe!) Anyway, each Sunday, along with my post I will share TWO SONGS that are uplifting, encouraging, inspiring, kick-ass...you get the picture. These songs are meant to put a little pep in you step or some swag in your handbag!! Know any songs like that?? If so, share them as suggestions in the comment box!! I would love to hear some of the songs that just...just... JUST MAKE YOU WANNA CHANGE THE WORLD!!!! Or at least change yourself!! ;-)) So, please share.
Without Further ado, hear is today's post:
"Just keep going and don't look back
And look forward from where you're at
There's some jealousy in your rear view
Wave, hello, hello, hello"
T.I. - Hello (feat. Ceelo Green)
I love this song. The idea of smiling bright and waving hello at somebody who wants me to fail soothes my facetious side and makes me chuckle a little! I find very poignant the thought of leaving those who wish you no good, behind you... in your REAR VIEW!!! Pay them no mind, keep it moving forward, onwards and upwards!! Which leads me to who DOES deserves your attention...
How rich would you be if you had a dollar for every time you heard the line, "Let your haters be your motivators" A millionaire, right? Well, I venture to say, DON'T DO IT!! DON'T let your haters be your motivators!! Of course you can do whatever you like, but hear me out first!
How about counting your supporters? How about letting THEM be your motivators? Indulge me, take a second and think of the people in your life who truly believe in you and want to see you succeed. No seriously, think for a minute. Ok, do you have them in mind??...Now, keep THOSE people in the forefront as you consider the amazing things you plan to do; maybe, you've just published that book you've been working on for years...they cheered in your ear when you called them with the news. Or perhaps you completed your degree you've been busting your butt to acquire...they planned the graduation party. Meanwhile your haters are where? Who the heck cares!!!??? They are not the ones who deserve even an ounce of your thought and/or attention! Your supporters deserve to be your motivators, not some naysayer! (Tuh!)
Now, don't get me wrong, it would bring a satisfying smirk to my heart (and lips) to see someone cringe at my success, but it'd bring elation to my whole being to have someone rejoice in my success, with me....as if it were their own!!! That's special.. Remember the focus is positivity, right? ;-)
What it all boils down to is loving yourself enough to truly let go of those people and/or things that bring negativity into your life! Let them fade forever into the background of your past. How about "Let your haters...be forgotten" and #followthepositivity
For your viewing pleasure, I've posted videos that provide lyrics! Today's Song-Day selections are:
Hello - T.I. (Feat. Ceelo Green)

I Choose - India Arie (This used to be my ringtone :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKDShRdJ3d4
Don't forget to post some song suggestions!!
BE positive, BE great, BE blessed,
