You know and we have about 60 to 70 percent black men in prison today and it's because of the negativity they have in their own hearts.

All your life you compare and contrast, explore and search. But knowing yourself well is, well, elusive.

We make the best choices when we have invested all of our energies, our hearts, and our souls into a course of action that leads to the accomplishment of goals we are passionate about.

I'm a lucky guy. No question.

I've worked in the prison system for five years, and most of those folks in prison didn't have a direction.

Most people are defined by their titles, their cars, their house, where they came from, their color, their race, their religion. And so it's up to you to take control of your own life and define you. As long as you understand who you are and you have a solid foundation of understanding what your talents are, what your skills are.

Having a vision for your life allows you to live out of hope, rather than out of your fears.
