These are the 3 magic keys to living 

your life with integrity:

1. Have the courage to say no. 

2. Have the courage to face the truth.

3. Do the right thing because it is right.

W. Clement Stone

Integrity is a very important thing to have because you need it in order to do all these things, to ensure you have a successful life. Always have the courage to say no when you know when something is wrong, Stand up for what you believe in.  Have the courage to face the truth, the truth is inevitable, and you will have to face it so always do what is right in your life. Do the right thing because you know it is the right thing to do, always do the right thing because you know you should do it. Don't do whats wrong, have the integrity to do what is right even if everyone else is doing the wrong thing to do. Don't be afraid to have the integrity to stand up for what you believe in and what it is right. Never doubt yourself and confront your fears, live with integrity. Never do what is wrong because it is wrong. 

"Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody 

else expects of you. Never excuse yourself."

-Henry Ward Beecher 

Hold yourself accountable to do great things that no one would've believed you could do, be the best person you possibly can be. Also strive to do your best in life, out do yourself to points beyond people could expect of you in life. Exceed the expectation people have held for you, never make excuses for yourself. When you make excuses it shows you were never really trying to begin with, you don't want to do lower than what people expect of you. Strive for greatness be that greatness and beyond, do not settle for the expectation that people are giving you. Do stop because you made it to your destination, set new goals and go further than just your destination. Always keep going and never settle for less, Always do the best you possibly can do. Be responsible for those goals and make sure you attain those goals because that is now your responsibility. Always choose the right and always exceed your expectations throughout your life! Don't settle for less!

"He  that walketh with wise men shall be wise; but

a companion of fools shall be destroyed"

Proverbs 13:20

Person who is friends and hangs out with wise people will become a wise person as well, a CTR person. If a person is accompanied by fools  then he will too become a fool as well. Your friends rub off on you so make the right choice on the people you associate yourself with and around. Be a ctr person and don't hang out with fools, associate yourself with wise people who make the correct choices in their life.  A person who will associate themselves with fools is nothing more than a fool to do so. It's the wrong direction and it shall only lead one to a path of self destruction. You will choose the wrong over and over again until you are no longer accompanied by fools. Associate yourself with the correct people and you will become a wise man within your life and your path will become clear. You will continue to make the correct decisions and get somewhere in life as long as you are no longer a companion of fools. It will lead to great things and make you a better person when your not hanging around with the wrong crowd. Choose your friends wisely not foolishly, find the right people to be associated with. Like the kid in the video he associated himself with the wrong crowd and it led to foolish decisions and the destruction of his education, but he realized that and turned himself around, go involved with the right people and graduated.

Thanksgiving Week

Over the Thanksgiving week and the weekends I didn't do very much. I had Thanksgiving and I watched the football games that were going on during thanksgiving. Some of the football games going on during thanksgiving were the Lions vs Bear, Redskins vs Cowboys, and the Falcons vs the Saints. Throughout the week I just watched shows and listened to music. I went to Walmart the day after Black Friday to see what there was left and if there was still any deals. I didn't find much left when I got there. I did some homework over the week for classes that I had homework in such as biotech and sports medicine. I ate on Thanksgiving some Ham, Corn, Mashed potatoes, and some Hawaiian bread. I didn't eat turkey because I don't really enjoy it, I just don't like the way it taste. I also went to target and best buy in Hollywood and I bought myself  tiny waterproof speaker. I didn't do much the rest of the time besides lay down and watch some different shows on my phone. Overall I had a good Thanksgiving break.

"Right is right, 

even if everyone is against it;

and wrong is wrong,

 even if everyone is for it."

-William Penn

Always do what is right because you know that it is the right thing to do even when others are telling you to do something else. Do what is right because you know that it is the right thing to do even if no one else is doing it, you know it is right. We should all be able to make the decision of doing what is right because it is the right thing not because other people are telling you to do it. We know as a person what the rules are and what is right and what is wrong for us to do . We shouldn't do something that is wrong just because other people are doing something that is wrong, if we know it's wrong then we shouldn't be doing it . We should be doing what we know is wrong even if no one else follows you in doing the right. You can be the light for other when they are doing something that they shouldn't be doing. You can step in and show them even if everyone else is doing something that is wrong you can stand out and do what is right because you know that it is the right thing to be doing. Be that light for others when they can't do what is right because everyone else is tempting to do something that is wrong. Be the beacon for people to do right when they are afraid to do right by themselves. Don't give into temptations and do what is wrong. Always be a CTR person and choose the right even when no one else will.

"Don't sacrifice what you want most for what you want now. Write

 down what you want most and see it often."

-Peter Vidmar 

Don't sacrifice most for something that you only want at the moment, see it often and keep pushing to what you want the most. Always choose to keep striving towards your goals in life rather than what you want the most for the meantime. Just look at your goals every time you want something now, remind yourself of what you want most in life and don't sacrifice it. Make it a point to look inside of you goals journal to find what you want most in life and not what you want right now. Keep your eyes on your goal even if you are filled with temptations of other things in life. Always try to achieve your goals in life rather than trying to have something that you want at the moment, you may not want that later on in life but you will always want what you want most. You'll always want your goal over what you want right now. Be a CTR person do good and make sure that you are striving to meet those goals you set for yourself and achieve what you want the most in your life. Hold yourself accountable to meetings those goals and doing your best when trying to meet them. Don't sacrifice it for what you want the most in life.
