One day I realized that I wasn't getting anywhere by blaming other people for my circumstances. I finally understood: Even if you feel someone has wronged you or owes you something, no one is going to give you anything for free.
From Mary J. Blige
I've done well, I've been disappointed, and I think it all goes back to you. Of course the labels are going to be the labels. It's the music business. You are a business. That's what they do. So you've got to protect yourself.
You can hate me. You can go out there and say anything you want about me, But you will love me later because I told you the truth.
God comes first - if I don't love him, I can't love anybody, and if I can't love me I can't love nobody.
You can look at my palm and see the storm coming. Read the book of my life and see I've overcome it.
I can have as many bad days as anyone. But I choose to say, 'I'm just fine.'
My journey continues, because I've, you know, conquered a lot. And I know how to conquer the rest.
I've been praying to God to show me how to forgive myself. Because... maybe... that's the thing I've been searching for.
When you hold on to anger and unforgiveness, you can't move forward.
When life is real, it's not going to be smooth.
