"A Better World"

It may sometimes seem that the world is shallow and petty and focused only on meaningless, superficial concerns. Yet you can choose to live in a better world...

It may appear that there is an overwhelming amount of violence, despair and injustice in the world. Yet you can choose to live in a better world...

Look at the world in a positive light, and suddenly you’ve made it a better place. Act on the possibilities that you see, and you give real substance to your positive vision...

Imagine how the world would be if everyone became focused on the positive possibilities. By directing your own awareness toward those possibilities, and by acting on them, you make them more vibrant, more visible and more compelling...

By working to improve your own attitude and your own life, you become a living example for all the world to see. And a living example is hard to ignore...

The way a better world emerges is one life at a time. Start with your own life, and let the goodness quickly spread outward from you...

All the small things can come together to add up to something much greater of a contribution to helping to make a better world. It all starts with us. People. And as an artist for example, We can help to make a better world through Music & Entertainment.

You have to give back. It feels good to give back. No matter what the contribution is. In order to make things grow, you have to start by planting the seed...

A great Man [Mr. Beryl Wolk] once told me, We have to all work together to keep life evolving and growing. And one way you are able to do it is by Making a Better World through Entertainment & Music...

"A Celebrity Voice"

If you were to become a famous Celebrity where millions and millions of people would have access to you and wait to listen to you and what you had to say next... What would you say? You can make this the best year ever. You can make this the best time ever. You deserve a life that’s filled with joy and meaning and every good thing you can imagine. Because you’re absolutely capable of doing whatever you are truly committed to doing. In fact, you’ve been doing it all your life. Every day, you achieve whatever you’re most fully committed to achieving -- whether that’s just getting through the day without having to put out any effort (a lot of people achieve that), or whether it’s building a multi-million-dollar business (a lot of people achieve THAT), or whether it’s anything in between -- whatever you’re truly committed to doing is precisely what you ARE doing with your time and your resources. Your commitment is evidenced by your actions and your results. So look around at your life, your situation, and your circumstances and ask yourself -- what exactly have you been committed to achieving? What results have you produced? Are you happy with those results? Would you like more of the same? Would you like to make some changes? Or would you prefer a whole different set of results? If there were no limitations in your life, if you could have anything you wanted, what exactly would that be? If you had the freedom to do anything, whether it sounds reasonable or practical or not, what precisely would that be? If you suddenly became a world-famous celebrity, and if you knew that millions and millions of people would listen to what you had to say, what would you say? What would you want to express about yourself, about your values, about your view of life? There’s a beautiful purpose inside of you, a magnificent, unique purpose that has always been with you, and always will be. Sometimes you can feel that purpose intensely, usually when life is either going very, very good or very, very badly for you. Much of the time, however, on the at least conscious level, you forget about that purpose. But it’s always there. Everything you feel is connected to that purpose. Every desire you have is an attempt to express that purpose.... People dream to become rich, famous, powerful, and to have Celebrity. What comes with that is a Powerful voice whether they realize it or not. People and Children are heavily influenced by the people that they see in the public eye. Even though the Celebrities are only human and regular people as well, the things they do, say, and their actions are magnified. Again, if you were to become a Celebrity, how would you handle it? What would be your Voice? For more with J Rag - Check out J Rag on Google+ by going to: http://www.google.com/+jRagMusic

"Innovation Or Being The Best"

"People can become so concerned with being first, instead of being better or being The Best... Innovation is very important. But you can easily get lost in that and give it to much credit in a way... Because then there is the reality of it... There is No Money in Innovation... The Money is in the Repetition... The Quality... Making a better quality product, quality that appeals to more people and a larger audience... So, there really has to be a balance of the both...." ~ J Rag #jRag #MindScApeEntertainment #InThisLife #InTheMirror #Quote #Quotes #Inspiration #Motivation #Life #Style #LifeStyle #Fashion #Celebrity #jRag #Art #Music #Design #TheInnovator #Innovation #Balance #HipHop #People #PeopleMag #PeopleMagazine #jRag #InTouch #InTouchMagazine #ComplexMagazine #XXL #VibeMagazine #RevoltTv #Philadelphia #PhillyMag #PhiladelphiaMagazine #Entertainment #EntertainmentWeekly #HipHopDx #jRag http://www.reverbnation.com/jrag http://www.youtube.com/user/jrag3218 http://www.twitter.com/jragmusic http://www.facebook.com/jragmusic http://www.instagram.com/jragmusic

"Just Right"

You’re not too old, too young, too rich, too poor, too big or too small, too outgoing or too shy, too ambitious or too lazy. You’re you, and you are just right. You’ve learned from what you’ve done and from the consequences you’ve experienced, and now you’re ready to move forward with that accumulation of wisdom. Instead of judging what and where you’ve been, put your focus on visualizing what you can now do. Don’t get caught up in deciding whether you have too much or too little. Simply decide what the best next step is, and take it. If you’re constantly comparing yourself with others, you’re missing the point. You are who you are, and there’s enormous value in that, and it’s time to give your own special gifts to life. Find great delight in fellowship with others, but don’t feel like you have to imitate them. The best thing you have to offer is you, so let go of the pretenses and worries and just have fun being yourself. You are perfectly positioned to have a positive and unique impact on the world. So instead of fretting about being too much of this or that, just accept the way you are at this moment in time and do something wonderful with it all.
