• Be very careful of what you allow to infiltrate your consciousness and subconsciousness. When you watch too much television, you'll start to feel inferior from all the commercials hard selling the idea that you're not complete unless you buy their product. The ad agencies appeal to your fear of not being wanted or loved. It's the same with the local news. They get you to stay tuned with a constant stream of fear tactics. It's as if our culture is addicted to fear and the flat screen is our drug dealer. Don't allow that crap into your head!

• ‘Cause sometimes you just feel tired, feel weak
  And when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up
  But you gotta search within you
  And gotta find that inner strength
  And just pull that shit out of you
  And get that motivation to not give up
  And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face, and collapse.
