World AIDS Day

I am sure we all know today is World AIDS Day. AIDS is a serious matter. It is definitely not a joke at all. Black people are not the only ones who are getting AIDS but unfortunately we are the main ones infected. We make up more than half of all AIDS cases in the world. That's not cool. I remember reading something about how people are wearing masks trying not to contract the swine flu but over 90 million cases of AIDS and people still aren't wearing condoms. It is not a game people. If you too scared to get tested, sex is not for you. Sex is supposed to be for mature adults so if you don't want to get tsted then you should refrain from sex. Below I have listed dumb reasons/excuses not to get tested. If you or your partner find yourself saying these things, AIDS may be a gift one of you have given to each other and unfortunately you'll never know.

* It can't happen to me.
* My girl was tested and she didn't have nothing, so I'm straight.
* I got tested last year and I've had the same partner.
* I don't want to know if I'm dying.
* I don't want anyone to see me getting tested.

You get the point! Get tested people!

Motivation Tip #1

Have you ever noticed that the word dash is associated with fast or rapid things? For example:

1)The DASHboard in your car and blogger account gives you a quick view of everything and all your controls/operations

2)If you tell someone you are going to make a DASH to the store and then you'll be back, you are referring to a quick trip

3)At a restaurant, your server may tell you that your food will be out in a DASH, meaning quickly...

You get the whole idea of DASH pertaining to quick situations. Have you ever noticed that grave markers/tombstones have a dash between the year of the person's birth and death? Your whole life will soon be symbolized and reduced to a dash-something quick.

We have to get control of our dash and really make something out of it or those 4 numbers before and after it mean nothing. Too many people take too much time wasting their lives marinating on the "rain" never seeing the beautful rainbow that lies just ahead.

So my motivation tip for you is to live life to the fullest because it could be gone in a dash!
