Stand up for yourself, because no one else will.
If you truly believe what you believe then have resolve of steel.
Don’t worry about people and what they may think.
If they love you for you then they won’t even blink.
Things are important in this day and age.
We don’t have those heaven wise men, a guru, a sage.
Don’t let fear conquer your heart and your mind.
Stand up for yourself and be one of a kind.
Hate, ridicule, may follow your each and every word.
But to you and yourself at least you will have been heard.
Much Love, Success, and Respect

Hi Ron, so good to read this. My inspiration is so low these days, I don’t know what is going on, I wish it is only a phase and I’ll get it back. 🙂

Good Morning Ron,
I see you posted this on 7 July – a day I was not feeling well physically. On 10 July I was rushed to the Emergency Room at the Miami Veterans Medical Center at 0605 hours. By 0800, I was in surgery, which lasted 8 hrs. 49 mins. – followed by 6 nights/days in the Suirgical Intensive Care Unit. This has been followed by almost 7 weks of ‘bed-rest’. Now, I am trying to respond tyo 3,800) emails. This appears on page 152, and it was very inspirational! THANKS, RON!

You’re the inspirational one. And I publically say to everyone what I told you once, that you have become a father figure as well as friend. Much love to you, Dad. 🙂
