I was not sure if I was going to write about this but it weighed heavily on my mind. As I was watching the news I saw" "Kim Kardashian fake baby pictures", "Find the Stanley Cup", and other stories about things that have no direct connection to affecting how we live. I am not saying that babies being born are not a great thing but really people have them everyday, Kim Kardashian's is not that special. The Stanley cup is a big deal, I am going to the parade but I really do not care to see people going on a treasure hunt to find it.
I want to see stories about things that affect my life, like the Supreme Court's Decision on the Voting Act of 1965. I am so disappointed by the lack of coverage because this affects American's whole democratic selection process. Just think of what re-zoning will do for elections, its the 21st century version of Jim Crow Laws.
As a black person in American, I can truly say that I am disappointed because this is a long the same lines as the laws created after reconstruction of the civil war. Laws that systematically stripped minorities and other disenfranchised people of the right to vote, serve in office, and the freedom to live. Could you imagine what laws and governments will be created under the dismantling of the Voters Rights Act of 1965 to systematically remove the rights of people.
It begs me to ask, Are we really free?
I agree with President Obama it is deeply disappointing. Do people understand how many lives have been lost for civil rights to exist in the United States of America?

It is what you think....
In this life, your thoughts are a driving force within you life. Haven't you ever heard the saying, "So a man thinkth and he is."
So, how do we change our thoughts? FIND THE POSITIVE IN IT!!!!!!
By finding the positive you will discovery that what you wanted in your life was not want you needed. Therefore there was no need to get upset when you did not get it. But ultimately, it will give you peace of mind.
Peace of mind means, what God has for you is yours. So, there is no need to rush, over think, or worry.....let him guide you and you will WIN in the end.
"I am leaving you with a gift--peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give isn't like the peace the world gives. So don't be troubled or afraid."

What you ask for.....
When ever you make a request be sure to understand exactly what you are looking to get. What you want may look like a rose and have its scent but it could turn out to be an onion. But what you need maybe the rose bud.
Many people fail to ask for what they need because they are blinded by what they want. Satisfying your needs rather than asking for your wants can lead you to a great victory in life. Think about it, we need air and ask people all the time to be considerate of the earth to stop pollution, so why would you not ask for another need.
I am not saying that you should never ask for what you want because wants can change the world. Every idea is something someone wanted to change in order to make his/her life better. I am saying that your life should be a fulfillment of what you need to be the best version of yourself.
