Go get it.

"You got a dream... You gotta protect it. People can't do somethin' themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want somethin', go get it. Period." - Christopher Gardner(The Pursuit of Happiness)

The quote above is something that I go by…Life&Wisdom is my dream. This is something that I planned on doing since I was young; yes its happening, it’s happening real slowly…Slow motion is better than no motion right? Having to put all my ideas in a piece of fabric is something that I LOVE!

The L&W team is special to me, I’m thankful enough that they’re part of my dream.
Errol the Pearlz brings my ideas to life, I lay the blueprint he brings it to life. Mon helps me with all the marketing and financial work without her we’d be dumbed out, so thank you Mon! And Shane is the beast…he gets clientele, small or major in the game…Thank you all. Serious like Cereal!

So if you have that dream that you want to pursue, then go get it! No one else will help you but yourself. Dreams do happen, it just takes time…

All Love,
Neeks

I see you're a hater...

Hater/ By Maya Angelou

A hater is someone who is jealous and envious and spends all their
time trying to make you look small so they can look tall.
They are very negative people to say the least. Nothing is ever
good enough!
When you make your mark, you will always attract some haters...
That's why you have to be careful with whom you share your
blessings and your dreams, because some folk can't handle seeing
you blessed...
It's dangerous to be like somebody else... If God wanted you to be
like somebody else, He would have given you what He gave them! Right?
You never know what people have gone through to get what they
have...
The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but they
don't know my story...
If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, you
can rest assured that the water bill is higher there too!
We've all got some haters among us!
Some people envy you because you can:
a) Have a relationship with God
b) Light up a room when you walk in
c) Start your own business
d) Tell a man / woman to hit the curb
(if he / she isn't about the right thing)
e) Raise your children without both parents being
in the home
Haters can't stand to see you happy.
Haters will never want to see you succeed.
Most of our haters are people who are supposed to be
on our side.
How do you handle your undercover haters?
You can handle these haters by:
1. Knowing who you are & who your true friends are
*(VERY IMPORTANT!!)
2. Having a purpose to your life: Purpose does not
mean having a job. You can have a job and still be
unfulfilled.
A purpose is having a clear sense of what God has called you to be.
Your purpose is not defined by what others think about you.
3. By remembering what you have is by divine
prerogative and not human manipulation.
Fulfill your dreams! You only have one life to live...when its your
time to leave this earth, you 'want' to be able to say, 'I've lived my
life and fulfilled 'my' dreams,... Now I'm ready to go HOME!
-Maya Angelou

Take it light.

My good ol' man sent this to me...thought I'd share it with you guys.
"One day at a time - Do not look back
and grieve over the past, for it is gone: and do not be
troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in
the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth
remembering
." - Unknown

Originals

Remember the gumsoles...leather or suede?? The Clarks is always going to be the originals.
From dress pants to the washed out jeans, the "British Walkers' will always look classic whether your soles are worn out due to the hot concrete during summer, or the stain of salt during the winter time. I dig the Originals since day one.

EyemissthebigApple

Yes, NY is on my mind...the traffic, the big buildings, street vendors, greasy pizza...I sure miss it.
Toronto is my city but from time to time I wish that I lived in NY. There's just so much things to do in the big apple, stores closes late...if you wanna leave your house at 3 in the morning and take a stroll down Times Sqaure and kick it with you peoples, you can do so...Here in T.O. at 1 a.m. we're kicking it at Tim Hortons drinking coffee, shit. I don't even drink coffee! I'm just saying man...Toronto is a beautiful city...but this place gets boring at times. Now I know some 'cats' out there that love T.O. - I love it too! my friends and Family lives here, however 'sippin' on coffee and eating doughnuts is not cool when its 1 a.m. I want to see things! do things! If i want to hit up Dave&Busters i'd have to drive out of the city...in NY you don't! lol shit man. If i'm wrong and you have a spot in T.O. where you can just kick it and have fun let me know...but as for now New Yawk is on top of things.
and yes...I am blogging while im at work.
