INOUCION

Help Me, Help You, Help Us!

My birth name, which was issued to me by teenage mother,

is Gregory Vondell Arnold. he ideas, thoughts, and passion-

lled words that are printed on these pages are my opinions

and point of view based on my personal experiences andresearch. My goal is to explore honesty and remove mental

shackles from a self-imposed prison reality. I will highlight an

array of topics that I believe has created Hell on Earth for

the majority of the human race. I have labeled my construc-

tive criticism to the world as he Blues. I choose to use my

words as instruments, and I trust my perspective will orches-

trate music to your ears. I am not out to blame any one race,

but I will highlight well-documented history that is known

throughout the world. I offer this motivational book to be

used as a tool to help motivate your mind, body, and soul.

As you journey through the pages, travel with an open mind

and honestly ask yourself these questions: o these circum-

stances apply to me? Am I a part of the problem or am I partof the solution? And the last and most important question:

What can I do to expedite a positive outcome?

It will take our whole community to tackle the issues we face

as humans. I am only one concerned citizen, and I have cho-

sen to take a stand and speak what I believe in my heart is

right. My belief is faith based, and I am willing to be account-able for my actions. If you wish to make a change in your

Love Thyself

Chapter 1 gives you the courage to challenge the expectationsof society and educate your self-esteem to tutor your con-scious and subconscious. It is crucial to comprehend this rstentry because it allows you to accept the perception of peoplesassumptions. You will realize through your own observa-tion that it does not matter what people think about you, it

only matters how you feel about those unnecessary thoughts.The overall objective is to create a balanced person who haspassion, purpose, and a philosophy of self-value throughhumbleness. The more humble you become; the more it willbecome a habit to accept and acknowledge how beautiful youare. This opportunity is a chance of a lifetime, which allowsyou to fall in love with YOU.

The Damage Is Done, So Resurrect YourBeautiful Being

oday we will collect the fragments of our life and mold happi-

ness. Organize your life,and Godwill bless the birth of a new

beginning with bliss. You have to envision yourself three stepsahead while you crawl to your feet. Begin your journey with a

pace that commands comfort and accelerates as you go. Make

an assertive effort to smile in the mirror, which will embrace a

delicate ego. Concentrate on the characteristics that make you

feel good about being you. epelthe thoughts that spread can-

cer through the mind, body,and soul. Look upon your life andlimit the negative energythatyouput out into the world. In-

fuse your conscious withpositive passion,and the joy will lead

to self-esteem. Believe in yourselfandyour ability to achieve

the spirituality Godissued to each of us equally. Pave a path

of love to your heart that exits the highway to healing. Love

begins in the soul of the individual who exercises faith. Love is

everlasting when it begins and ends with God. he objectiveto life is to love thyself, since you share your lifetime with no

other entity but God.

CHAPE 1: LOVE HYSELF

Is It Time to Reevaluate Your World?

he vision that you view in the mirror is the sight of the indi-

vidual you have manifested. If you do not embrace, love,and

respect the reectionthat you see, then now is thetime to re-

evaluate your world. Invest time in exploring the structure ofyour life. Look into your family history and the achievements

of your ancestors. ake pride in who, what, and where you

come from. When you choose to embrace strengths and weak-

nesses, the picture in the mirror will become crystal clear.

Anything Is within Your Reach

Pressure is the cancer of ability and acquisition. Imagination

will allow the virus to spread agony ifyou dont believe in

yourself. Any task or objective can be obtained when you

focus on the goal at hand. Invest quality effort in your targetand allow your mind to penetrate the bulls-eye. You can ac-

complish anything you wish, once you utilize your heart and

soul.

When I Finally Found Myself, I RealizedThatI Was BestbyMyself

A famous rhythm and blues singer said it best: Ithink I bet-

ter let it go. Lost love cannot be captured by a compass or

nestled by a net. he love that is truly yours will wrestle awayall troubles and concerns. Love is eternal and does not evap-

orate from heat and tension. here is no greater love than a

personal emotion for yourself. Salvage yourself from allyour

past failures, faults,and emotional scars; do notwaste away in

a love/hate relationship withyourself. Spend time alone. Enjoy

the sweet sound of silence because family, friends, and foessynthesize music to the ears. You should love yourself regard-

less, even if for the moment you nd yourself alone. Isolation

affords the time to reect on and repent for the shortcomings

of our salvation. God will grant our grace as He grooms us for

our genuine purpose in life.

We Dictate the WellnessofOur Body;FitnessIs Vitalto theLongevityofLife

Americans are addicted to drugs, alcohol, and bad eating

habits. Both legal drugs approved by the government and

illegal drugs condemned by society have a lasting effect onthe user. Still, theyboth have a loyal following and generate

billions of dollars in revenue for their manufacturers. rugs

of any kind have side effects. Prescription drugs are as addic-

tive as powder cocaine, crack,and marijuana.

Alcohol abuse has murdered the inner city community at an

alarming rate. While allowing the pressure of life to chase us to the bottle, our community has funded the cancer of our

own people. he government seal is broken every time we

purchase poison that has ooded into urban society.

Fast food, pork,andhigh-calorie snacks lead to an unhealthy

diet. he human body cannot operate properly when it is

fueled from food that does not provide energy. We consumetoo much garbage that only builds fat and destroys muscle.

We have to get off the couch and exercise tobreathe fresh life

into our bodies.A weak mind, body,and soul will allow life to

evaporate right in front ofour eyes.

My Destiny ParallelsMyDesiresbyMultiplyingMy Tenacious Thoughts, by the

SumofMy Command

A wish willwander until hope has its way. An aura of faith

collides with cockiness claiming karma as collateral. Con-

dence is crucial in a society that aligns arrogance with cour-

age. If it takes being vain tovanquishvulnerability, are you

able to stand accused? An ordeal will often showthe outside

worldthe depth of your poise. You are capable of controlling

your own cause and establishing an extraordinary effect by

diminishing self-doubt.

Do Not Allow Your Mind, Bodyand SoultoBe Digested in theBellyof theBeast

Society has conditioned individuals to live as followers. Our

nation does not promote desire, dedication, or discipline. Life

is bland without risk or the condence to take a chance. Suc-cess is the ability to leave your comfort zone and allow action

to dictate desire, dedication, or discipline. Education frees the

mind and expands the desire for information. he body will

begin to heal itself once hard work and dedication become a

permanent xture in your routine (eating responsibly and be-

ing active).Godis the key to discipline;your faith will insistthat you follow the laws of the land and live a righteous exis-

tence. You can only lead by example; you cannot lead from

behind.

Do Not Glamorize theActionsof Others byAttemptingtoImitate Them

he easiest task in the world is to be you. o not fall victim

to peer pressure from a follower. Lifes experience cannot be

benecial if you focus on shortcuts and always seek the easyway out. he old-fashioned method of hard work is less ap-

pealing to the masses, but true success is reachedthrough the

straight and narrow path. here is a limited space between

joy and pain. I believe each individual has the power to is-

sue value to whats important in his or her own life.You are

an individual with God-given talent; so why not appreciate,admire,and love being who you are?

To Thyself Be True; Why Do We Allow LovetoBlind Us?

Why are we afraid of being alone? Why dowe sacrice our own

happiness for a false sense of security?Why do wewillingly do

for someone thatwhich wewould not do for our own selves?Our conscious can command charity as an outlet to balance self-

ish behavior. he problem is sometimeswe panic and purchase

companionship at the cost of our courage.You cannot afford to

placeyour heart and soul into everybody.You cannot genuinely

love anyone if you do not love yourself rst. Live in lovenot

One Life, One Opportunityand Many,Many Consequences

Life takes a toll on those who act before they think things

through. Normally, we act then try to evade the consequenc-

es of our choices. ake the time to create a timetable toplanyour success strategically throughout your life. Generate goals

that contain a constant reminder that hard work enhances

happiness. One ofour greatest opportunities is the ability to

try again, which so many of us take for granted. Once you

open your eyes in the morning and inhale your rst breath of a

new day, smile. here is nothing that stands between you andpeace of mind but yourself, your self-doubt,and your passive

thoughts.

Be YourselforBecome Seless, Senselessand Soulless

One way to ridicule nature is by despising who you are. An in-

dividual is issued his own character, charisma,and condence.

Arrogance and insecurities are parasites that puncture the hu-man pride. Who we are as individuals develops the society in

whichwe dwell. Be willing to pardon because passion some-

times poisons peoples perceptions. Be willing to understand

because those who are perfect are nonexistent. Finally, be will-

ing to endure and you will inherit knowledge, wisdom, and

understanding. Who you were thenshould motivate who youare nowto becomethe person you plan to be. First impres-

sions capturethe worlds attention and focus it on your atti-

tude. Your attitude will enter and exit doors thatyour physical

makeup will be denied. You have the power to justifywho you

are to the world by just being you.

Independence Is the Courage to StandSteadfastfor What You Consider Correct

We live too much of our life striving to impress and please

other people. Imagine being isolated from expectations and

criticisms; picture a life lled with goals, purpose, and accom-plishment.A wise individual goal is to live and praise God.

You will never be able to live up to expectations that you did

not envision foryour own self. here is no one who knows

your potential better thanyou do. Make sure you worship

wisely because your Makerwill provide all the independence

that you pray for.

I Am OnlyasImportant toMyselfasI ShowThose Who Surround Me

Honor, respect,and trust beginwith the rst impression. If

you do not command charisma from the start, people will

formtheir own conclusions about who you are. heir opin-ions may damageyour chances of gettingto know someone

new. An individual who only admires youwill not last as long

as the individual who loves you, but the one who respects

you will last a lifetime. You can control those you deal with

by having discipline and not changing direction whenyour

emotionstempt you to detour from your path.

may become passive. hen anger begins to bombard yourthoughts,andyour behavior becomes aggressive. he expe-

rience will either create character or sprinkle sorrow,which

will eventually damage the soul. You will begin to heal once

you take control of your emotions, which dictate how you

Envy will eat away atyour soul. Give yourself a harsh reality

checkto see the true you. It is not easy; the mind hides our

faults from us.If you are willing to look upon your true self,youwill not blame others for feeling dissatised.You will not

grow angry and claim unfairness. Freedom from anger pro-

pels youto focus on your own personal goals and less onthe

accomplishments of others. Learn to condition yourself on

the importance of self-evaluation because your own reality

Our mouth continues to lie as our actions display our honesty.

Our unwillingness to address conict tampers with our indi-

vidual concerns. Our happiness suffers from our dedication

to someone elsespeace of mind. Our soul continues to waiver

while our relationships continue to destroy our compassion.

Bean Option

We cover our faults with attitude in an attempt to mask our

choices. We deal with the rst layer of personal issues in an

effort to minimize the overall pain. If we spent quality time

in correcting the internal image and not the physical one in

the mirror, we would nd ourselves in more healthy relation-

ships. It is convenient to blame others and difcult to accept

the anguish you have caused yourselfand those close to you.

A Leased Love Will Wind Up Lost, Lonelyand Lifeless

A love based on material hugs and kisses will never survive

a recession. People will tolerate your presence as long as you

meet and exceed their list of needs. People will also utilize thepain you have shared to exploit compassion from your yearn-

ing heart. Lastly, people will leave a relationship that can

no longer afford their affection. You cannot control peoples

motives, but you can control your currency. A true love will

never come with a price tag. Learning to love begins with an

investment allocated to you.

What Will You Do When Lifeas You KnowIt Fades Away?

A good life is taken for granted when you have given noth-

ing to maintain happiness. A frown is one second away from

becoming a tattoo smile on the face of a phony person. Peoplewillput up withyour behavior until they decide that you are

nottheir equal. o not allow these types of people to use an

angle to keep you at bay. You must realize relationships favor

one party over the other at all times because most people will

not reveal their agenda until the very end. Use your self-eval-

uation tools to gain self-awareness and push ignorance aside. You are only a fool when you continue to allow others to

itemize your intentions and not theirs. We choose to rational-

ize in relationships rather than exitthem expeditiously.After

awhilewebegin to question our own motives when the only

answer is evident. Even when you think you are doing the

right thing for others, sometimes it comes down to you hav-

ing to leave to truly get their attention. Once you choose toleave, never look back, because sometimes leaving isthe only

consequence to make someone change for the better. hey

will only sincerely miss youwhenyou have moved on to help

someone else.
