Can You Stick With It? If Not, Don't Start It!


I hear a lot of people talk about how they want to do great things. That is something to admire because many people are content just being average and doing average things. It takes guts to talk about your desire to do great things, it takes even more guts to actually attempt to accomplish something great. Yet, the disconnect occurs when difficulty ensues as a result of going after something of value. Many of those who once talked about doing great things give up there pursuit altogether when obstacles come about. They bury their dreams when multiple obstacles occur. So this leads me to believe that  people aren't as passionate about doing something great as they led on or they went after the wrong thing. That might sound harsh, but the reality is is that even if hell itself rises against you, it wont be able to hold you back from something you are dead set on accomplishing. If you don't have that type of motivation for what you are going after, then what you are pursuing isn't worth it. You are better off finding something that ignites a consistent flame within you and charge after that.

Sharp Skills to Perform on Same Stage as Mali Music, Kierra Sheard, Trinitee 5:7, El DeBarge, and More!!!

The R.E.B.E.L. Firm Music Division is proud to announce that our very own, Sharp Skills, will be performing at the 2011 Gospel Fest in downtown Long Beach. The Long Beach Gospel Fest is slotted to pack in an estimated 10,000-15,000 people in beautiful Long Beach, California. Sharp Skills will be one of the artists to grace the stage. Sharp brings an infectious energy to his audience while articulating his rap lyrics in a manner where the listeners can both enjoy the music and understand what he is saying. The 26 year old emcee will be performing with a live band for a short but memorable set around 3:30 pm on July 10th. This concert will mark a major milestone for Sharp since relocating back to California due to the fact that he will be sharing the same stage as Mali Music (who was featured on the BET Awards Next Up segment), Kierra Sheard, Trinitee 5:7, and a host of other heavy hitters. Sharp Skills will be performing one of the songs from his new album "Anno Rebelio" called "How Bout It". He will also have a booth where he will be handing out free promotional Cd's of Anno Rebelio. This is an event that you do not want to miss.

Staying Passionate About Your Purpose in the Midst of Adversity


Fulfilling your purpose is no easy feat. In fact, most people don't, the same way the majority of people only tap into only about 10% of their brain power. When you choose to accomplish your purpose, you are signing up to go against the grain of society. Many systems are built on people being predictable and living an ordinary and purposeless life. Not only does one have to fight to remain motivated in spite of this fact, but also be able to navigate around our own tendency to just settle, especially if we hit some bumps in the road. I am a firm believer that if you realize what your true purpose is, you will weather the storms of adversity and persist right through them until you get to the envisioned end. Sometimes you have to take it one day at a time when you are not seeing the desired results. You have to be able to recognize and celebrate small victories and those will eventually turn into big ones.
