Everyday for the next year I will be posting a new Inspirational Rule to consider living by. I hope you enjoy. Rule #244 06/17/16 Sonny: What am I supposed to do now?
Madea: Get up and go on with your life. It’s all right to sit around and be depressed for a minute. Cry about it. Do whatever you have to do, but don’t stay there too long. Get up and go on with your life. This is what I’ve learned in all these years on this earth. If somebody wants to walk out of your life, Let. Them. Go. Especially if you know you’ve done everything you can do. If you’ve sat around and been the best man or the best woman you can be and they still want to go, let them go. Whatever they’re running after, they’ll see what they had in a minute, but by then it’s gonna be too late. Cause you’ll sit there and you go, cause half these people you’ll be sitting around crying about and worrying about, two or three years from now you ain’t even gonna remember their last name. How many times you done seen folks and you’ll be like, “What the hell was I thinking? …What was wrong with me?.. I must have been lonely as hell to hook up with you!” Let folks go, Sonny. Some people come into your life for a lifetime. Some come for a season. You’ve got to know which is which. And you’re gonna always mess up when you mix seasonal people up with lifetime expectations. They got people that got married with people they was only supposed to be with for a season and they got married to people they were only supposed to be with for a season and wondering why they have so much hell in their life. That was a person that was only supposed to teach you one thing. You didn’t know it so you just fell in love and now you wondering why you ain’t got no peace nowhere you go. No, no, listen I put everybody that comes into my life in the category of a tree. Some people are like leaves on a tree. The wind blows — they’re over here. They’re unstable. It blows the other way — now they’re over here. The season changes. They wither and die. They’re gone. It’s alright. Some people, most people in the world are like that. They’re just there to take from the tree. They ain’t there to do nothing but take and give shade every now and then. That’s all they can do. But don’t get mad if people are like that. That’s who they are. That’s what they were put on this earth to be what they are, a leaf. Some people are like a branch on that tree. You’ve got to be careful about them branches too cause they’ll fool you. They’ll make you think they’re a good friend and they’re real strong, but the minute you step out there on them they’ll break and leave you high and dry. But if you find two or three people in your life that are like the roots at the bottom of that tree, you are blessed. Because they’re the kind of people that ain’t going nowhere. They ain’t worried about being seen. Don’t nobody have to know what they’re doing for you but if those roots weren’t there that tree couldn’t live. You understand? A tree could have a hundred million branches, but only a few roots down at the bottom to make sure it gets everything it needs. I’m telling you, Sonny, when you get you some roots hold on to them, but the rest of ‘em, let ‘em go. Just let it go. Let folks go. -From Madea Show http://vimeo.com/user24927139/madea Everyday for the next year I will be posting a new Inspirational Rule to consider living by. I hope you enjoy. Rule #243 06/16/16 Be The Light And she woke up with this unconditional love in her being, it was unlike anything she had ever experienced before, she wanted to touch the world and all its inhabitants in the dark and hurt places that she knew only LOVE could reach - a compassion that radiated from the very core of her soul ~Will "Story" Rivera

The less complaining you do the less things you will have to complain about. The more gratitude you have the more reasons you will find to say thank you! ~Will "Story" Rivera
Everyday for the next year I will be posting a new Inspirational Rule to consider living by. I hope you enjoy. Rule #241 06/14/16 Life can be full of surprises. We all get knocked down sometimes, you may even feel discouraged now, but it is up to us to ensure we do not remain there. We get to choose how we are going to react to the things that happen to us. We choose out thoughts.
We are the master of our minds, no one is making us "feel sad". No one is forcing us to be sarcastic or be bitter. We choose if we are going to be forgiving or spiteful. What we decide to do with our piano is all our own. That's why some people create inspiration when they are feeling their worst and others create more pain for others. Just because we may have planted a negative thought within our brain does not mean we have to nurture it and allow it to grow. Only choose to water what you wish to see more of in your life. We must take full responsibility for our thoughts, actions and lives. Today is a new day. Everyday for the next year I will be posting a new Inspirational Rule to consider living by. I hope you enjoy.
