Faith in Yourself Comes from the Faith in God

I am not perfect. It is an idea that escapes every single one of us brothers and sisters because God is the only one who is perfect. So the idea of believing in yourself and having the utmost faith in yourself also escapes many of us and seems almost impossible. Something that I have recently discovered, however, might help with this constant struggle to believe in yourself that you can do it; that you can achieve greatness if you work hard; that you can become an Afrocentric Jukeboxx. Although, the answer to achieving faith in yourself is to first have the utmost faith in God. See, Proverbs 3:5-6 even tells you to "Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not unto your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Hence, if you are struggling with something and believe that you are unfit, or if you are telling yourself that you cannot do it, the first thing that should come to your mind is this Proverb telling you to tr

Bummy Getaway- The Story Behind the Album

Once upon a time, there was a man who got away with everything. He was a sneaky man who could fantasize all he wanted and obtain whatever he dreamed, without consequence. Every day, his actions presented guilt and trouble, but he would not show any repentance; instead, he would have a grand and awesome adventure about his crimes. Justice seemed to chase him and fail, and abuse to follow like a shadow. Until one day, his abuse persuaded him to pursue a long cruise down Lost Sanity Drive and he crashed into a tree during the end of his venture. He had abused his will too much, and reality had kicked back into him. Because of that, the man became sluggish and weary and more aware of his history, and because of that he fell blind to the fantasies of his getaways; he fell blind to the happiness and joy he once thought was real. The next time he was seen, the man was said to have committed the same frauds as he had done before...  Actions do have tremendous consequences, and the Lord does

 Once upon a time, there was a man who fell in love with a beautiful woman. Every day, this man would rejoice and celebrate this match made in heaven, this ceremonious matrimony. One day, however, the man finds himself at conflict with his own integrity for the woman commands the man to accomplish feats and fulfill promises he cannot keep, and his happiness seems almost too good to be true; not to mention that these tasks disregarded his own belief in God! Because of this, the man begins to regret tossing out his own dignity and integrity for a woman who won't respect that aspect of him, the part of him that makes him, him. Yes indeed, he'd go as far as to say that the death of these characteristics of his was a martyr, for he used to be such a nice and caring man of God before meeting this woman. The feeling of regret confines the man until finally the man soon splits up with the woman, yet by doing so he realizes that, in the relationship, he was made to feel useless with

What Makes Somebody Afrocentric? - Our Vision

 I believe that everybody, no matter the background, has some aspect of themselves that is  Afrocentric , as in, something that makes someone individually  great , and that the issue that is prominently faced in people's lives today is that many don't see the greatness that they can produce.  As a cultural movement, The Afrocentric Jukeboxx is meant to motivate those who have imagination, creativity, and inspiration within their God-given " afros " atop their heads to utilize and apply these values in interactive and productive ways in order to produce  greatness  for themselves and their environment, further diversifying the already wide expanse of the world's "jukebox" with the  greatness  one has.  What makes somebody "Afrocentric"  is the variety of creativity that they have and their pursuit to strengthen their skills, talents, and knowledge. This is done in order to produce  great  works for the purpose of not only the benefit o
