my words)

  and 1 girl with a 1 ½ story home with a white
  picket fence.

  pool, jewelry, clothes, no debt problems,
  pro-athlete/entertainer, dream job, etc.

  you going to get everything that you want in
  life?

Potential is not everything!Obstacles are not an
excuse!

• Mr. Prospects situation!
• Mr. Mike Moultries situation!

This is the Bottom Line

• Face it, nobody owes you a living! What you
  achieve or fail to achieve in your lifetime is
  directly related to what you do. No one chooses
  his/her parents or childhood, but you can choose
  your own direction. Everyone has problems and
  obstacles to overcome, but that too is relative
  to each individual. Nothing is carved in stone.
  You can change anything in your life if you want
  to badly enough. Excuses are for losers! Those
  who take responsibility for their actions are the
  real winners in life. Winners meet lifes
  challenges head on knowing there are no
  guarantees and give it all theyve got and never
  think its too late or too early to begin. Time
  plays no favorites and will pass whether you act
  or not. Take control of your life! Dare to dream
  and take risks! Compete! If you arent willing to
  work for your goals, dont expect others to
  BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!
