T.F. Hodge quotes:

A leader learned to follow, and serves the followers who are learning to lead. ~T.F. Hodge

Building on a bond is bankable. Building on bitterness is bankrupt.

When the word is heard consult the source, and beware the messenger.

My People: Prepared and never scared, fueled by faith in a sea of despair - we rise and we shine, 'cause it's like that'!

Promoting what you don't like, invites more of it to your doorstep. Beat the right drum. ~T.F. Hodge

When what one does, reps, or 'spits', repetitively, is foul or beastly - one summons spiritual undertakers to dine on fleshly parasites. In various forms, nature's law purges all that becomes wasteful. Change your game, or the game will change you.

Real loved one's aren't afraid, and will suggest to you, what's in your best interestbecause they wouldn't want too see you suffer the consequences of your, sideways, emotional impulse(s).

Though I think and speak of greater becoming, I, too, am an infinite work in progress.

Naysayers are frightened of their own power.

A show of power is not the same as silent power.

Fear is the lack of faith in one's ability to create powerful solutions.

When exercising gifted will-power, move boldly without hesitation. The reward for such decisiveness is increased confidence in what the heart knows, which the mind does not feel

When you mix with the wrong energy, there's bound to be an explosion. Pay attention and switch lanes when the signal changes. What's really real, is ultimately revealed.

Words do have purpose; they are essential clues in determining actions, or lack thereof.

If one abuses or neglects internal powers, external forces will act accordingly.

When you're a light instead of a dim switch, your brightness radiates in every direction.

Why play, lounge or labour in a social wasteland? It's toxicity is contagious, and no respecter of persons. Fall back!

If you wish to transform, pretend this day until it is so.

Though the earth contains greater energy and mass than any single being, linked together, people make the world go-round.

On a surface level, all one finds is repeated forms of shallow whispers. Having the courage to explore deeply, a wealth of buried infinite lifetimes emerge - an undeniable force.

When 'Dirty Mack' salts your flow, get beyond feelings of hurt, anger, bitterness, and especially vengeance. Be glad, and take refuge in knowing light has been cast on the shadow of hatred, envy or jealousy that has mocked your shine. And press forward with your purpose - allowing time and space to clear the way for karmic justice on your behalf.

Made from divinity must mean mindstate to create is intrinsic - no fiction. Stop playin' with your power, your inner 'G', and build on purpose - accordingly. Being free is for free, so force the issue.

Hating skin color is contempt for God's divine creative imagination. Honoring it is appreciation for conscious, beautiful-love-inspired diversity.

When hip-hop was born she had no commercial home, and was an invention of beautiful creativity. Born from a beautiful struggle, today she is mostly a 'ratchet' bitch spitting nonsense from her pimp's mansion.

A culture of vultures steeped and born of violence shall choke on the blood of its offspring.

For certain you can be helped, should you accept it. But as far as being madeno one can do that. This occurred on the day you were born. An earth day is not a birth day. Own what you create as well as what you break.

To conquer frustration, one must remain intensely focused on the outcome, not the obstacles.

Be better than yesterday.

A cooperative spirit enjoys a better harvest.

There is bound to be turbulence in the clouds of confusion before one can view the friendly skies, and an illuminated landing strip.

You may have the dark and cold street life, ruled by the lessor light of the moon. During this time I restore my temple, and later awake to greet the awesome radiance of the sun-star.

Mother is her son's first god; she must teach him the most important lesson of all - how to love.

That sassy low classy, but dress real cheap-fly-n-fancy, with a chip on her shoulder -- she's just a bitterly wounded dove, wanting to be sieged by love.

When a turbulent mind and wounded heart surrenders to grace, breathing is easy.

Quite often it's not about what is said, but what isn't. And even when it's spoken, read between the lines. Listening with the heart is just as important as hearing with the mind.

Love is never blind; it sees with ucute clarity. A closed mind, wounded heart, and a bitter disposition surely cannot perceive love's myriad ways of communicating.

Sometimes a loved one might not 'spit' the message in the most tender or poetic fashion that suits you, but don't allow a rugged style to blind you from a loving intent. It's the spirit of the message one must receive beyond [the] perception of one's senses; be mindful of hearing with the heart.

There is peace where mind and heart agree.

Utterances of cursed language defiles the hearts and souls of man and many.

You may have the dark and cold street life, ruled by the lessor light of the moon. During this time I restore my temple, and later awake to greet the awesome radiance of the sun-star."

Having beef with someone is unnecessary and avoidable. Whatever the issue, if not positive, it is an opportunity to cut the excess fat from an unhealthy dietary network. Simply excuse yourself from the table of negativity and lean forward in peace.

Life, for the living, is a gift of opportunity; an exercise of the will to choose.

I'm not cruisin' this opportunity in time and space for you to like or dislike my 'get-down'; I'm here 'cause I'm down to get it right by the time I return to the 'mothaship'. I remain a work in progress.

During moments of strife and 'dis-ease', check your flow and redirect your focus to that which is naturally good.

What you do teaches faster, and has a lasting impression, far beyond what you say.

Both friend and enemy reside within us. One lives by the rule of compassion, the other by the rule of hard knocks. Though potential influence of either extreme is inevitable, our actions bear witness to the one we embrace.

Depression, which lives below the horizon, is the result of painting and entertaining negative imagery - most of which has not taken place in reality. Get up, move, and appreciate that which is given. What is lacking is usually material and heavily influenced by external forces. Don't play yourself, save yourself.

Careful not to blur the lines between what belongs to characters, and what does not belong to you. Even 'reality tv' is scripted. Don't get it twisted. ~T.F. Hodge

Love spiritually, not strategically.

Seeking higher ground is not a destination, but an elevation. Wings up, eyes shut open.

Nothing we do makes us real. That which is real makes us do.

Success is not determined by the outcome. The outcome is the result of having already decided that you are successful to begin with.

Bravado may stir the crowd, but courage needs no audience.

Cultivate confidence, and eradicate the need to control.

There is no way to counterfeit courage; we either have it or we do not

If you cannot find peace where you stand you shall not find it where you land.

Walking in ignorance is a choice for those who find reality too hard to face.

In an honest effort to gain understanding, asking questions do not, necessarily, imply a conclusion has been determined. They can be used to avoid making the wrong judgement. If building trust is the ultimate goal - there is no need to be defensive, or feel threatened by any inquiry.

All matters being spiritual; man or woman can only find peace when peace is realized from within.

The Spirit, and your soul are not the same things. The Spirit is God - the source. Your soul is God's imagination.

Head up, heart open. To better days!

The sky is not my limit...I am.

Image is only temporal. Substance endures. Who said, "Image is everything"? And who believed it?

Ignore the voice that scorns and ridicules to ensure it does not mold you. Stifling subtleties like these, if unchecked, are oppressive. Freedom is a love supreme birthright, not a privilege to be governed by any other.

Worrying paralyzes progress; prayer, preparation and persistence ensures it.

A King and Queen cannot support a crown with eyes looking down. Their universe expands as far as you can see.

Consider intentions carefully. Karma gives a damn about ego, awards allegiance to none, and its justice is truly blind.

It is intent which establishes one's consequential outcomes.

When life throws you a curve ball, have a good eye.

Don't wish...DO! Don't try...BE! Don't think...KNOW! And above all: Bless a stranger with a small, yet powerful, random act of kindness. You feel me?

Feeling powerless is the result of yielding to fearful thinking.

Betrayal and dishonor is usually an inside job. Keep it 'sucka-free', loved one!

The world seems to be witnessing a deluge of 'haterisms', and racist propaganda because evil's pain was born to die, and it's time of tyranny is near the end. Don't get caught up by the souls of wickedness; this ain't your fight. ~T.F. Hodge

A coward's gun is emptied when fear pulls the trigger, and hate is the ammunition of choice.

Appreciate the creation, respect the creator of it, and admire the source of all creativity.

When you imagine it, feel it, then write it - creation is inevitable.

Dream on it, think on it, ink on it, speak on it... then proceed to bring on it. Fulfillment is ordered to find you. Shine time!

Divide the constant tide and random noisiness of energetic flow, with conscious recurring moments of empty mind, solitude, gratitude and deep...slow...breathing. Of this, the natural law of self-preservation demands.

If you have no competition there's no need to debate.

You do not get what you wish for, unless it be known to the source of your desire.

Souls from the same star find it impossible to resist dancing to the tune of inevitability.

Any relationship (friend, romantic or business) that's one sided isn't one; it's a one way street headed in one direction... nowhere. Cultivation requires input from willing participants.

Romance begins upstairs, then culminates downstairs.

When spontaneous demoralizing thoughts seep into your conscience, don't trip...allowing them to fester. These are random tests of your conviction and determination. Large or small, your reaction to such intrusions is a defining moment for which no one else, but you, can mitigate.

Between you and you, let there be no secrets. ~T.F. Hodge

Life is a playground and a laboratory; avoid neglecting one for the other.

People you've known, seemingly forever, may claim to have love for you, but when gossip's tainted tongue whips you - they don't show enough love to weigh your history against false witness. Be that as it may, press forward as the dust settles. Your purpose is much bigger than their paltriness.

There are two paths of which one may choose in the walk of life; one we are born with, and the one we consciously blaze. One is naturally true, while the other is a perceptive illusion. Choose wisely at each fork in the road.

Do not only think about it, but feel about it, also, before taking appropriate action.

External beauty is certainly cool to admire, but when worshipped - it eclipses internal shine.

The path of peace is not a passive journey. It takes incredible strength not to open a can of 'whoop-ass', justifiably, when ones button is pushed.

The promise of hope provides more comfort than the limitations of doubt.

Every day, strive to refine your contagious shine, and shake the nonsense offered by those who lack the will to polish-up from within.
