as a man thinketh, basquiat, einstein, self-talk, thoughts

It’s not who you are that holds you back, it’s who you think you’re not. -Basquiat | #youareenough

#codeofthestreets: 

Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its whole life believing that it is stupid. -Einstein

You’re never who they say you are, 

you are beautiful, 

you are magic, 

you are everything; 

in essence you are who you think you are 

and so much more.

Energy is everything, 

therefore, as a man thinketh he shall be… 

if you believe it you can achieve it; 

when you open your mind’s eye, you will see so much more. 

One may never elevate higher than his thoughts,

therefore, you must turn up a book and master the art of positive self talk. 

–@StevieStreets | You Are What You Think You Are

The Lion and The Lamb

lambs, lions, more malcolm than martin

It is better to live one day as a lion than one hundred years as a sheep. -Italian Proverb

#codeofthestreets:
You were not born to be a sheep,
you were not born to be pushed and prodded.

The wolves love the sheep,
they lionize the lamb
and they libel the lions…

“Concerning nonviolence, it is criminal to teach a man not to defend himself when he is the constant victim of brutal attacks.”

-Malcolm X

The Art of Giving

10 Sunday Jan 2016

Posted by steviestreets in Quotes

≈ Leave a comment

Tags

compassion, goodness, kidness, the giver, the go-getter

A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle. -James Keller

#codeofthestreets:
First you give out samples and then they buy… To get the most out of life, you must master the art of giving. When you enlighten others from the goodness of your heart, the world illuminates around you.

The Giver is the prerequisite of The Go-Getter: give of yourself, take an interest in others.

“If you light a lamp for someone else, it will also brighten your path.” -Buddha

actualization, manifestation, materialization, visualization

There are some people who live in a dream world,
and there are some who face reality;
and then there are those who turn one into the other.

Think of a master plan then go get it… manifest then make it happen; you have the power to turn nothing into something.
