Daily Word: Fork The Haters!!

TGI….Everyday my movers, shakers, and creatures of greatness! Welcome to the day that you continue your journey towards success, and the day you stop paying attention to what other people say! Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to your haters! Whether you know this or not, Haters are your best indication as to what you should or should not be doing! See, your friends and family are great, but they are really biased! They are going to support you (for the most part), no matter what! They are so happy that you are making something happen that they are just excited to be part of your growth. Haters, on the other hand, do not have time for that! Their sole purpose is to discredit anything that seems prosperous! Believe it or not, their hate has nothing to do with you, but everything to do with their own lack of self-worth! The fact that they’re even paying attention to you says that you’re doing something right!!! Fork Your Haters!! Don’t take it personally, and don’t waste your time addressing it! Understand that Hate is just displaced Love! Know that the closer you get to your goal, the more these people tend to show their hand! Keep doing what you do! The only way a Hater wins is if you stop and become unsuccessful! Spend your energy being the best that you can be instead of addressing Haters! They’re like roaches; once you kill one, more start to appear! Let them be and continue to be great!!!! THE WORLD IS ABSOLUTELY YOURS!!!!! -Ash’Cash “Some people find fault like there is a reward for it!” -Unknown “The envious man thinks that if his neighbor breaks a leg, he will be able to walk better himself.” -Helmut Schoeck “No matter what you do, you’re always going to find people that will want to bring you down. They only win if you allow them.” -Alejandro Campain “Some people insist that ‘mediocre’ is better than ‘best.’ They delight in clipping wings because they themselves can’t fly.” -Robert A. Heinlein “People will talk about you when they envy you and the life you lead. Let them. You affected their life. Don’t let them affect yours.” -Unknown “To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.” -Aristotle “The ones who say you can’t and you won’t are probably the ones scared that you will.” -Unknown “People will always throw stones in your path! What you do from it depends on you; A Wall of difficulties or A Bridge of success.” -Unknown TO HEAR THE AUDIO VERSION OF THE DAILY WORD – CLICK HERE.

The Last Word 2012: A Baby Blue Heir To “The Throne” Is Born

Our satirical and funny friend, Andre Leroy Davis, was back at it again in 2012 with “The Last Word”, his unique brand of cartoonish commentary on current events and politics. In one of the top stories of the year, iconic rapper/entrepreneur Jay-Z and his equally major singing wife, Beyonce, welcomed baby Blue Ivy Carter into the world on January 7, 2012. Even before her birth there were rampant pregnancy rumors, guesses about possible names, and the sense that Hip-Hop’s royal couple was birthing its first heir to The Throne. Andre captures the momentous occasion and Blue Ivy’s first rap recording (“Glory”) in his “The Last Word” cartoon from this past January: Check out more witty goodness at www.AndreLeroyDavis.com.

Daily Word: Never Lose Sight!!

Happy Thursday, my creatures of greatness! Welcome to the best day of the rest of your life! Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to staying focused on your dreams! Les Brown once said that most people never achieve their dreams because they spend too much time concentrating on secondary activity! They know what they want out of life, but allow the distractions to veer them off course and lead them in a different direction! It is not only vital to your success, but also to your well being, that you never lose sight of your goals! If it doesn’t help you get closer to that dream, then what are you doing it for? Always remember and recognize where you are trying to go, and make sure you are taking a step in that direction every day of your life! Some obstacles will come in your way, and you will feel like giving up, but that’s only because you forgot for a second what your true purpose is! As Ella Wheeler Wilcox so eloquently said… “There is no chance, destiny, fate, or circumstance that can circumvent, hinder, or control the firm resolve of a determined soul! In layman’s terms… NOTHING CAN STOP YOU BUT YOU!!! Keep your eyes on the prize and take what you deserve!! -Ash’Cash “People should decide what success means for them, and not be distracted by accepting others’ definitions of success.” -Tony Levin “The best way to succeed is to have a specific Intent, a clear Vision, a plan of Action, and the ability to maintain Clarity.” -Steve Maraboli “If you don’t know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else.” -Lawrence J. Peter “Focus! Our thoughts create our reality, where we put our focus is the direction we tend to go.” -Peter McWilliams “Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.” -Henry Ford “Focused, hard work is the real key to success. Keep your eyes on the goal, and just keep taking the next step towards completing it.” -John Carmack “Set your goals high, and don’t stop til you get there.” -Bo Jackson “Live your vision and demand your success.” -Steve Maraboli TO HEAR THE AUDIO VERSION OF THE DAILY WORD – CLICK HERE.

Daily Word: Be Willing!!

Happy Wins-Day, my Willing and Able! Welcome to the day that you take your life in your hands and make your success a reality! Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to your effort! They say failure is the key to success! Each mistake teaches us something new that will aid in getting us closer to our dreams and aspirations! The problem is that most people are so afraid of failure that they stop doing in order to avoid it! Just Be Willing! Those who succeed in life are not the ones with the most talent and are not the ones with the least amount of failures! They are those who are willing to do what it takes day in day out to reach their goals! Fail hard, Fail fast, Fail frequently!! Pay the price for success, and success will be yours! Get to work and TAKE what you deserve!! -Ash’Cash “Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it. Establish your priorities and go to work.” -H. L. Hunt “If you are determined enough and willing to pay the price, you can get anything done.” -Mike Ditka “All the so-called “secrets of success” will not work unless you do.” -Unknown “If you’re walking down the right path and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you’ll make progress.” -Barack Obama “Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.” -Dale Carnegie “God gives every bird its food, but He does not throw it into its nest.” -J.G. Holland “The world is full of willing people; some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.” -Robert Frost “You’ll either pay the price of success or the price of regret. The price of success weighs ounces. The price of regret weighs tons. It’s Your Choice.” -Unknown TO HEAR THE AUDIO VERSION OF THE DAILY WORD – CLICK HERE.

Daily Word: LOVE Your Work!!

Happy Tuesday, my Lovers of Life! Welcome to the three hundredth and thirty eighth day of 2012! With only twenty seven days left until the New Year, it is vital that you get a head start on creating the life that you want going forward! Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to loving your work! Anything you do in life MUST be done with passion! Work Hard! Play Hard! And, Love Hard!! With work taking up the majority of our time, it is imperative that you LOVE what you do everyday! Not love with an asterisk*, Not Love but… But Love period!! Everyday you do something you’d rather not be doing, you are chipping away a piece of you! You move yourself away from your bliss and become a product of circumstance who never maximizes their full potential! LOVE YOUR WORK!! Who you are and what you can become are all up to you! There is no limit on how far you can go, but if you are not enjoying yourself in the process you have inadvertently setting yourself back! Never bring a knife to a gunfight….. OK, bad analogy, but I hope you get my point! If you’re going to fight the battle, fight to win!! NOTHING CAN STOP YOU BUT YOU!! -Ash’Cash “It’s better to be a failure at something you love than a success at something you hate.” -George Burns “Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.” -Buddha “The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.
” -George Bernard Shaw “Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls.” -Joseph Campbell “Passion will move men beyond themselves, beyond their shortcomings, beyond their failures.” -Joseph Campbell “When you’re following your energy and doing what you want all the time, the distinction between work and play dissolves.” -Shakti Gawain “People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing. :)” -Dale Carnegie “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” -Confucius TO HEAR THE AUDIO VERSION OF THE DAILY WORD – CLICK HERE.

Daily Word: Be The Solution!!

Happy Monday, my Warriors of light! Welcome to the 3rd day of the last month of 2012! The month you finally decide to get yourself together and get rid of anything that has no business coming with you into 2013! Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to your problems! For every problem, adversity, obstacle, and setback you can possibly imagine, there’s a solution that can solve it! Many times, we feel as if we tried everything, so in looking for the solution, we look outside of ourselves, only to find ourselves exactly where we started! Be the Answer!! Right now, where you stand, you have the answer to all of life’s problems! The trick is in quieting your mind and listening to what your heart is telling you! Similar to how a car has a GPS system that can guide you on the road, your intuition is the GPS system that will guide you on the road of life! Stop going against it, and follow it wherever it leads! Your problems are not really problems! They are the missing link to the puzzle that is trying to purge you of all the things that make you weak! Use them as your strength, and step into your greatness!! You are powerful than you even realize! Take your power and use it wisely!! -Ash’Cash “Impossible only means that you haven’t found the solution yet.” -Unknown “Sometimes the answer we need is in our heart. We just have to listen to it.” -Abbi Glines “No solution can ever be found by running in three different directions.” -Deepak Chopra “At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.” -Lao Tzu “The important thing about a problem is not its solution, but the strength we gain in finding the solution.” -Unknown “Every great and deep difficulty bears in itself its own solution. It forces us to change our thinking in order to find it.” -Niels Bohr “Believe it can be done. When you believe something can be done, really believe, your mind will find the ways to do it. Believing a solution paves the way to solution.” -David Joseph Schwartz “Life may bring you to your knees; pray. Then GET UP and participate in the answer. BECOME the remedy! BE the solution!” -Steve Maraboli TO HEAR THE AUDIO VERSION OF THE DAILY WORD – CLICK HERE.

Ask Ash Cash: What The &$#@ Is A "Fiscal Cliff, Anyway?"

AllHipHop.com’s resident Daily Word guru and all-around inspirational guy, Ash Cash, is back with his latest installment of “Ask Ash Cash.” Great Day, my Great People!! Welcome to another addition of Ask Ash Cash, where we go in the streets and answer all of your finance and business questions. Remember you can send your video questions to Questions@AskAshCash.com or via Twitter (@IamAshCash use #AskAshCash). Q: Yo Ash Cash. Every since the end of the presidential election, all everyone on the news has been talking about is the economy and the “Fiscal Cliff”…. Yo my dude… What the *!?&* is a Fiscal Cliff? -Tae Don (Harlem, NY) A: Peace Tae! Thanks for the question. I’ve actually been asked this a lot because, just like “the great recession of 2008,” the term “Fiscal Cliff” has gone from Wall Street to Main Street, leaving a lot of folks confused. Without giving a long, drawn-out explanation, “Fiscal Cliff” is a term used to describe what will happen to the economy at the end of 2012, once certain laws change come midnight December 31. To be more specific, once the New Year rolls in, we’ll see an end to last year’s temporary payroll tax cuts, which will mean a 2% tax increase for workers, the end of certain tax breaks for some businesses, the end of tax cuts from 2001-2003, and the beginning of some tax increases due to the President’s health care law. Also, many of the spending cuts that were agreed on as part of the debt ceiling deal of 2011 will begin to go into effect. It’s estimated that over 1,000 government programs will face some deep, automatic cuts. The government has three options they can choose when trying to deal with the fiscal cliff, but in my opinion, they all lead to a continual decline in our economy. The real question is whether we want to feel it now or feel it later… Do we take a painkiller, or do surgery now? For a more detailed explanation, please turn to CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, or any other business news network. It’s the buzz phrase of the day!

Daily Word: Go Beyond Your Limits!!!

TGI…..EVERYDAY!!! Welcome to the day we get rid of all of the lies told about what we can and can’t do! Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to your limitations! Fact: There will always be something that seems to stand in the way of you and your goals! Fact: That thing, whether we know it or not, is all in our imagination! Those who really want something make it happen; those who don’t make excuses! There is not a person, place, thing, object, or circumstance that can stand in your way while on your quest for greatness! Kill Your Limitations!! Remove the word “can’t” and all other excuses from your vocabulary, and do what needs to be done to reach your dreams! If you can see it, then it is more than a possibility; it is real!! Change your outlook and take what you deserve! -Ash’Cash “Don’t accept the limitations of other people who claim things are ‘unchangeable’. If it’s written in stone, bring your hammer and chisel.” -Peter McWilliams “Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you’ll see the way to fly.” -Richard Bach “The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.” -Arthur C. Clarke “Simply pushing harder within the old boundaries will not do.” -Karl Weick “Anyone who limits their vision to memories of yesterday has begun to kill the essence of their being.” -Lillie Langtry “Limits, like fear, is often an illusion.” -Michael Jordan “Outside the walls of your imagined limitations, there is a whole world waiting to be experienced.

Daily Word: Accept Responsibility for YOUR Life!!

Happy Takeover Thursday! Welcome to the day you finally take back the key that is driving your life! Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to taking responsibility! Imagine for a second that you need to be at an important meeting at a certain time. You have many options on how to get there, and you have calculated all the best scenarios. Now continue to imagine that as you go out on your journey, you bump into someone who tells you that they can help you get to your meeting faster. Even though you are doing just fine by yourself, you decide to hitch a ride. As the car is driving, you are noticing that it’s going the wrong way. You stop the car, get out, but instead of going your original way, you hitch another ride, and the same thing happens.. Now you are late for sure, and anxiety is kicking in, but once again, instead of going with what you know is the best way to get to your destination, you continue to let others guide you! How crazy would that make you?… Wait…Don’t Answer that!!! The truth of the matter is that this is exactly what happens everyday with our goals and aspirations! We know where we want to go, we know the best way to get there (whether its through planning or instinctively), but we allow others to take control and tell us which way is the best way! It is imperative that you stop this IMMEDIATELY!! YOU are the ONLY person RESPONSIBLE for YOUR LIFE!!! Stop depending on and allowing others to dictate how you get to your destination! Others may be there to guide you, but at the end of the day, the journey is YOURS!!! The moment you take back control of the car that is driving your life is the moment you set yourself on the right path! Accept Responsibility for YOUR LIFE!! Anything else would be uncivilized!! -Ash’Cash “Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.” -Les Brown “Stop expecting people to do for you what you can or should do for yourself! Remember, it’s your Dream-not theirs. TakeOwnership!!!” -Eric Thomas “Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individualmyou have an obligation to be one.” -Eleanor Roosevelt “There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.” -Denis Waitley “The only limits to the possibilities in your life tomorrow are the buts you use today.” -Les Brown “When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.” -Confucius “As for the journey of life; at some point you will realize that YOU are the driver and you will drive!” -Steve Maraboli “If you own this story you get to write the ending.” -Brené Brown TO HEAR THE AUDIO VERSION OF THE DAILY WORD – CLICK HERE.

Daily Word: Get Used to Giving!!

Happy Giving Tuesday! Welcome to the day set aside to give back! No Really…. Today is Giving Tuesday! We had a day for giving thanks (#Thanksgiving), and two days for getting deals (#BlackFriday &#CyberMonday). This year, let’s help create #GivingTuesday™, the giving season’s opening day. Today is the day that charities, families, businesses and individuals are asked to come together to transform the way people think about, talk about, and participate in the giving season. It’s a simple idea. Find a way for your family, your community, your company, or your organization to join in acts of giving. Tell everyone you can about what you are doing, and why it matters. Let’s create ways to give more, give better, and give smarter. For more info, visit GivingTuesday.org. Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to…. Giving!! There’s a universal law that says, “the more you give, the more you get.” There is no coincidence that the people who give the most are the ones who have the most! Yes, you may say that they have it to give, but you’ll be surprised at how a little can help a lot. Giving is a selfish act! Not only does it make you feel great that you are helping someone less fortunate, but it also gives back to you in-kind! Starting immediately, I need you to get used to giving! Not with an ulterior motive, but with an open heart, to someone who CANNOT repay you. Your purpose in life is to leave the world better than how you found it! Give back what has been given to you, and help push the world forward! You have more power than you use and can help more than you think! #GetUsedToGiving!! -Ash’Cash “You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.” -Amy Wilson-Carmichael “If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another.” -Tenzin Gyatso “Giving is better than receiving because giving starts the receiving process.” -Jim Rohn “Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.” -H. Jackson Brown, Jr. “We make a living by what     get. We make a life by what we give.” -Winston Churchill “Give yourself entirely to those around you. Be generous with your blessings. A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.” -Steve Maraboli “If you can’t feed a hundred people, then just feed one.” -Mother Teresa “Give what you have to somebody; it may be better than you think.” -Henry Wadsworth TO HEAR THE AUDIO VERSION OF THE DAILY WORD – CLICK HERE.

Daily Word: Live Life to the Fullest!! (It's Later Than You Think)

Happy Cyber Monday! Welcome to the start of a great week and the day you decide to take back control of your life! Fact: Your attitude is what determines the direction of your life! Complain and wish things were different, and you will continue to attract your current circumstance! But give gratitude and appreciate all that you have, then that’s when you’ll see significant changes for the better! Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to Living it Up!! They say regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable! Stop spending so much time with tomorrow that you are not enjoying today! Right now where you stand, you have an opportunity to live life! Make sure you are living it to the fullest! Having ambition is great, but if your ambition only has you working hard with no play, then it’s time to revisit your strategy! Life is Now! Tomorrow isn’t promised! Starting immediately, you MUST STOP putting off your joy!! Begin today doing the things that put a smile on your face! You may feel like you have forever, but it’s later than you think! LIVE LIFE NOW!! LIVE IT UP!! DO IT LIKE YOU HAVE NO DAYS LEFT!! MAKE TODAY AND EVERYDAY AFTER THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!! -Ash’Cash “We’re so busy watching out for what’s just ahead of us that we don’t take time to enjoy where we are.” -Bill Watterson “Stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight.” -Gordon B.

Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured.” -Gordon B. Hinckley “Do what makes you happy, be with who makes you smile, laugh as much as you breathe, and love as long as you live.” -Rachel Ann Nunes “One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it’s worth watching.” -Gerard Way “Enjoy life. There’s plenty of time to be dead.” -Hans Christian Andersen “Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well preserved piece, but to slide across the finish line broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, leaking oil, and shouting GERONIMO!!!” -Bill McKenna TO HEAR THE AUDIO VERSION OF THE DAILY WORD – CLICK HERE.
