Truth According to D-Jones

My truth, my reality!

1) Our thoughts create many conditions in our life. Change your thinking, change your life.
2) Pure Happiness and Depression do not exist at the same time, in the same soul.
3) We teach other people how to treat us, so think about the messages you send to other people.
4) We are three people, the person we see as "self," the person that other people perceive us to be, and the person some where in the middle.
5) Most people who are not successful in high school, will not be successful in college, and in life. Be a professional student, a professional human!
6) The ghetto is not just a location, it is a state of mind.
