Over here in Britain we have this show called “The Secret Millionaire” where someone with an immense amount of fortune goes to a neighbourhood that is anguished by poverty. And long story short they have an epiphany and realise that people are all the same, and you meet some of the greatest of people in the worst of situations. And thus invest money into bettering said people’s situations.
Anyway,
I hardly ever watch the show because it’s the same format just a different name every week. But this week they were in Peckham, which is kind of close to me, but it’s somewhere I have lots of cousins and I often refrain from seeing them because of the bad reputation it has. But the energy and community spirit is so vibrant I sometimes get cravings just to be around that energy you know?
I would like to aspire to be one of those people. I mean I don’t want to go so far as being successful that I become out of touch with my local society.
I think that I would like to share my success with those who haven’t been in an as fortunate position as I have been in.
Giving money to charity, helping volunteer I think I would like to be a part of that

I used to believe that my biggest fear was (as cliché as it sounds) failure. And don’t get me wrong, I still fear failing.
But being irrelevant? Perish the thought!
When I’m gone I want people to remember me, for a long time.
Remember what I did, remember what I wanted to do and didn’t do. Remember why I felt so passionate about my family, my future, my career and just anything I have an opinion on. And I hope they can relate.
When I’m gone I would hate to just ‘go’ and leave no trace of my existence. I want to write books and novels, and poetry in my name. I want my words and thoughts to inspire lots of people, and I want them to quote me!
“I have always believed that “enter a random inspirational thought here” said so by Lorenzo Morales has provided a baseline for comparison within my life”
I want that.
I want to leave a footprint.

Once I have my heart set on something,
I will try my damned hardest to attain whatever that “something” may be.
Once I make a list of things I have to do,
it takes a LOT of convincing for me to take something off that list, or add something on it.
Meaning, once my priorities are set, then that’s it. They are set.
I’m very stubborn.
But the way I see it, being stubborn is synonymous with being driven.
And that’s a good thing right?
Right.
