What I'm Reading Now

The Inner Game of Tennis by W. Timothy Gallwey

No, I don't play tennis but this book is more than a book on tennis, it's a book that teaches you to play the inner game...The Inner Game being the ability to control your thoughts so as not to defeat yourself when partaking in an external pursuit...so the book is practical in any situation from Tennis to Sex...(yes!)...

According to the Product Description on Amazon:
The Inner Game of Tennis is a revolutionary program for overcoming the self-doubt, nervousness, and lapses of concentration that can keep a player from winning.

Check out the theinnergame.com blog and purchase the book.

PS. green paper gang is probably not a brand for the shallow...i'm just saying...

Consider This...

“However desperate the situation & circumstances, don’t despair. When there is everything to fear, be unafraid. When surrounded by dangers, fear none of them. When without resources, depend on resourcefulness. When surprised, take the enemy itself by surprise”

Sun Tzu

Jeezy X

A Wise Word....

"He is able who thinks he is able"  The Buddha.

You can do anything you think you can do...

Look at Ce'cile's face...

her expression is priceless and Beenie seems to be concentrating very hard...

Defiant Even in Death...

Johnny Cash - Ain't No Grave

Johnny Cash is someone I always admired, I just think he was a brave person and a true rebel...he dealt with the last years of his life which were very hard with a lot of grace...he kept the Black Flag flying....he's someone who I think of when I think of a O.G. and someone who should be emulated...like Bob Marley or Malcolm X or Charles Bukowski, or Scarface or Bun B or Mike Bigga or Guru (RIP)...Men Of Honour

ain't no grave can hold my body down...

PS. I know this blog is eclectic and all over the place but yo, I never learned to colour inside the lines...

Melanie Fiona - Monday Morning

Since it is Monday morning and I like this song...

Mi Tiyad...

Bounty Killer - Mi Tired

Mi tired fi mi black bredda dem behind di steel,

Mi tiyad fi see we hungry an' ah suffer fi di meal,

An' mi tiyad fi haffi beg di bigger heads fi sign di deal,

An' mi tiyad fi sweat fi nutten, but mi still a till the field.

 

A conscious tune from di Poor People Governor...

Quotable....

"Ambition is the desire to go forward and improve one's condition. It is a burning flame that lights up the life of the individual and makes him see himself in another state. To be ambitious is to be great in mind and soul; to want that which is worthwhile and strive for it; and to go on without looking back, reaching to that which gives satisfaction." - Marcus Garvey

I just saw this quote on kush-i.com and decided to share it...green paper gang mindset
