I had an awesome time speaking tonight at Homeless Service Networks.

Well, it's done. I just had a powerful time. I shared from my heart what my life has been like. I shared about my experiences with homelessness, my experience with being incarcerated, and as a result of how homelessness thrust me into the inner city of drug and criminal activity. But I also shared, more importantly, How I was able to overcome my circumstances, my conditions, my homelessness, my imprisonment, my incarceration, my drug addiction. I shared how to overcome and I gave them steps as to how to overcome. I told them that you gotta, you gotta believe in you. You gotta change your mindset. You gotta love you. You gotta forgive you. You gotta be your best supporter. You gotta be your biggest friend. Never be more of a friend to someone else than you are to yourself. Never support someone else more than you support you. Never believe in anyone else more than you believe in yourself. And forgive you. Forgive you for the times you've disappointed you. Forgive you for the times you've let you down. Forgive you for the times that you've did things that set you back in life. Don't live with regrets. Don't live with remorse. Life is not fair. Life is a fight. Turn your lemons into lemonade. Learn from your experiences because what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. And don't be a victim, be a victor. Life is a fight. It's not supposed to be fair, but in the end, if you keep fighting, you win. This is Rico Sharp, and I'm out. Life is what you make it.
