Here's my thought for today....
Poor people invest in lotto tickets. Wealthy people invest in the stock market. The only difference between the rich and the poor is how they spend their free time. Stop hoping for things to happen and go make them happen. God bless America. We all have a choice!
Think about it...
Let it simmer & marinate ;)

Who do you remember most (in the long run), the top draft picks with potential or all the names with championship rings?
Make history; Don't be history.
Winners never quit. Warriors never die--they become legends.
Who will remember your name? What's your legacy?

When you shake up someone's world, be prepared for them to react.
Don't be discouraged when met with resistance. Be ready to bend and be flexible.
Sometimes you got to fall back to take ten steps forward.
Think about it ...
Just love. Do everything with love. You'll never go wrong.
Have a great day!!!!

You always have direct and immediate control over yourself.
Therefore, if you wish to see a change begin with yourself first!
Ask yourself what will make me happy?
What do I have to add or take away of myself so that I can achieve this goal?
Once you have an answer, try it.
Don't be afraid. Just do it.
Exercise your power and control over your happiness.
... And don't forget to smile as your doing it :)
Sending you a smile,

Though my voice is gone I still have the ability to communicate through writing. The time I can't spend singing, I'm enjoying vocal rest and working on new lyrics, a play I am writing... AND I finished the first draft of my essay for an upcoming book I'm being featured in.
When it rains, you gotta learn to dance it. Life is too good not to explore other ways of living it!

Ignore it!!!
Don't get thrown off course by others noise and distraction.
A person will do anything to stress you out to a point where you want to scream because that's the most passionate emotion you express towards them.
No one can handle being ignored. Especially when you choose to be nonchalent, cool, and continue doing you.
See the trap and step over it. Don't fall in to it.

There are good relationships, and then there are GREAT relationships.
In a great relationship, both people are pushing each other to be the best version of themself.
Always encourage the person you care for to be better.
Look at Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith, Jay-Z and Beyonce, Barack and Michelle Obama.
Be smart and know in your heart if it's time to say bye bye clown! Cuz being broke ain't no joke!

Word of the day: TRUST
So many of us don't have it. In ourselves, and in others.
Don't give up on it. It is something that must be worked on daily.
Don't allow your lack of trust in one person hinder your relationship with another.
Don't allow your lack of trust in yourself, hinder your judgement.
Learn to make up your mind and don't allow others to do it for you.
Best of luck to you all on your journey today!

"TRANSFORMATION"
Survival of the fittest requires evolution. If a species does not evolve, it dies out. Evolution is defined as, "development: a process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage)." Quite frankly, evolution is change. A type of transformation, and transformation is best described as, "the act of transforming or the state of being transformed; a marked change in appearance or character, especially one for the better."
I'm sure at some point in your life you were tempted to consider what things WOULD HAVE been like if you'd chosen another path. Or, you wondered, what things WOULD HAVE been like if you'd known what you know now.
Though it's tempting to look back, don't. GLANCE in your rearview mirror. Don't stare at it. Use it only to gauge where you're at and be aware of what is surrounding your life.
I myself have been tempted by looking back. I used to do it quite frequently to be honest. The difference now is the choices I make and one of them is choosing to have faith. I know by continuing to look ahead theres no need to look back and imagine, because I'm already looking forward to something better.
Every time you catch yourself looking back and doubting something better lies ahead of you, ask yourself this: How do I know something better ISN'T ahead of me, if I'm not focused on what's in front of me? How do I know something isn't coming up in front of me, if I'm not even looking in it's direction?
I have learned if something is meant to happen, it will be progressing WITH me. NOT lagging behind. The past is the past for a reason which I mentioned in yesterday's blog while talking about letting go of seasonal people.
Lately I've been emphasizing "CHOICE" a lot. That is because we ALL have a choice in being successful. The ONLY thing standing in our way, is ourselves. Our attitude, beliefs, interests (or lack of), our desires--these are all things which play a combined role in our success. You must EVOLVE and CHOOSE to be positive and welcome positive ideas, people, and surroundings into your life or else it will never change.
Things beneficial to the improvement of my mental and physical health, I choose to do them now and it's made all the difference. Routinely I wake up early, I run at least a mile every morning, I'm breaking barriers within myself and taking strides to be better every day. This is the best I've ever been, because I finally learned to take responsibility and hold myself accountable for what it is going on in my life. This transformation... This turning point... This change... Was made possible because I finally CHOSE to do so and I feel so much better because of it.
Don't make a list of negatives that you don't like about life or yourself. Write down affirmations, sentences beginning with words like "I can..." And "I will..." Let your imagination be the coming attractions of your life. Visualize your happiness and rehearse it every day. Practice being happy. Repeated actions become habits. The same way you picked up bad habits, you can develop good ones too :)
Place no glass ceiling above you. The only limitations to your dreams, is your imagination! The choice IS yours.
Be the best You.
I love you... And I will wake up again tomorrow and share more joy with you. View every day as a fresh start, a chance to try again.
Yours Truly,
Gabrielle
[This is dedicated to my Mother who got on her knees every night and taught us to pray, who dressed us for Church and made sure we were there every Sunday, and fell asleep in a chair every single night I laid in the ICU. No lesson on faith compares to the ones which you've taught me. I know you shy from recognition. I love you and you are so deserving. And to my grandparents, who so lovingly instilled faith in her, this is for you too.]
Those who pray together, stay together <3 Always have faith <3

Never go to bed upset. Resolve whatever it is as best as you can, and don't sit up worrying. Leave the REST to God and sleep peacefully knowing that he is on the job 24/7.
It is not your job to keep a tally of wrongs either. You too make mistakes all the time. Forgive as you would want to be forgiven and be understanding in a way you would like to be understood.
When you wake up, treat every day as a brand new opportunity. Don't get entangled in your emotions like a spider web. Let your heart guide you and your mind lead. Confusion is often created by our own dwelling and overthinking. Trust in yourself that you know what is right for you.
Take note, most issues are usually communication based. Be WILLING to communicate. Be RECEPTIVE to other people. BE HONEST about how you feel and expect no one to read your mind like houdini.
Learn to enjoy listening as much, if not more, than you love to be listened too. We are born with two ears and one mouth so we can listen twice as much as we speak. Be humble, not judgemental, and take heed to the lessons around you.
PROGRESS is a PROCESS. Understand it will take time and enjoy every second of the journey. Human beings are like abstract art. Enjoy even the splatters of paint you do not understand. We're often guilty of placing lifetime expectations on seasonal people. Learn to appreciate people for who and what they are, including the ones you must let go from your life. Even they taught you a lesson that is helping you to move FORWARD towards something BETTER. Just because we miss them, doesn't mean we should bring them back. Time only moves forward so should we. Do not expect miraculous change from them and remember life is all about moving forward. For every thing there is a time, a season and a purpose.
Remember to read this with an open mind. Success has a great deal to do with having a positive attitude, positive relationships, and being in positive surroundings. You can posess great talent and intelligence but if your life isn't situated right, you will always be held back by something.
Take a chance. Live the life you love, and love the life you live. Happiness is a powerfully inspiring force. CHOOSE to be happy. It is YOUR life to be lived. The only thing standing in your way is you.
Think about it!
Wishing you peace, love, & prosperity,
Gabrielle

Any change, any loss, does not make us victims. Others can shake you, surprise you, disappoint you, but they can't prevent you from acting, from taking the situation you're presented with & moving on.

I can only hope you woke up this morning feeling refreshed and ready to start a new day. If you didn't, be not dismayed, it's still very likely you can and will have a good day if you choose too. The choice is yours to make!
Recently, I was inspired by a friend to get consistent with my workouts. Up until now my excuse was I needed a workout buddy or a trainer. (Mind you, I spent most of my life as a semi-pro athlete but we won't get into that today.) So anyway, we're texting back and forth and they shared their inspiring workout story. Of course the highlight was how they just got up one day and said, 'to hell with it I'm going to do this on my own.' The moment they were finished with their story I was dressed in sweats ready to hop to it. I ran a ten minute mile and I felt great. Especially since it's been so long since I hit the track. So, I decided to set a goal that I'd reach an 8 minute mile by July.
WELL, today is APRIL 15th and like the stubborn, competitive athlete I STILL am I decided to run my 8 minute mile TODAY. It was painful... I pushed hard... I did it. I needed to see if it was possible for me to talk myself into actually doing it.
Now here is where today's Gift of Gab food for thought comes in...
Though I accomplished my goal, I still have to hit it again, and it makes no sense in pushing to a point of discomfort and strain. I risk potentially injuring myself or my spirit of obtainining my goal.
I NEED to learn to PACE MYSELF.
Very often I don't pace myself and I jump the gun in many areas of my life. We're so hooked on instant gratification especially in this high tech computer age where we're surrounded by fast paced technology--microwaves to zap our foods to be ready in a minute, high speed internet that loads Google search results in seconds, and Twitter which is like instant messaging on crack. We want what we want, when we want it, and we're always demanding it happen NOW rather than later.
Success does not work in this way. Not career success, relationship success, or any type of success for that matter. Anything truly worth appreciating is worth waiting for. The hard work you contribute towards it day in and day out will make it that much more important to you.
Keep in mind if it were EASY everyone would be doing it. Everyone would have a million dollars, an amazing relationship, and cars would probably be flying in the air by now.
Take it easy... Take it slow... Pace yourself. Learn to enjoy every step of the journey. Especially if you have someone you're enjoying it with. This isn't a race. It's your life.
I hope you continue to have a great day, and if you weren't then I hope you enjoy a turnaround point. Call someone that makes you smile, eat something you enjoy, or simply hug yourself and say "I love you!" Whatever it is you do, remember you always have a choice. CHOOSE happiness, CHOOSE success, and let no one take it from you.
With Love & Sincerity,
Gabrielle

As I promised I present you with "The 17 Principles of Personal Achievement." Not only is a positive attitude important, so is the desire to learn. Learning shouldn't only occur in school. Learn to be inquisitive, seek information, and always aim to be better.
Peace, Love, & Lotsa Hugs,
Gabrielle
THE 17 PRINCIPLES OF PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT
(from Napoleon Hill's Keys to Success)
1. Develop DEFINITENESS OF PURPOSE—with PMA
You should have one high, desirable, outstanding goal, and keep it ever before you. (Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, you can achieve—when you have PMA and apply it)
2. Establish a MASTERMIND ALLIANCE—with PMA
A mastermind alliance is two or more minds working together in the spirit of perfect harmony toward the attainment of a specific objective.
3. Assemble an ATTRACTIVE PERSONALITY—with PMA
Your personality is your greatest asset or greatest liability, for it embraces everything that you control: mind, body, and soul. (Do unto others as you would have others do unto you)
4. Use APPLIED FAITH—with PMA
Faith is a state of mind through which your aims, desires, plans, and purposes may be translated into their physical or financial equivalent. (Prayer is your greatest power!)
5. Go the EXTRA MILE—with PMA
Render more and better service for which you are paid, and do it with a positive mental attitude. (Make going the extra mile with PMA a habit!)
6. Create PERSONAL INITIATIVE—with PMA
Personal initiative it the inner power that starts all action. It is the power that inspires the completion of that which one begins. (Use and develop the self-starter—DO IT NOW!)
7. Build a POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE
A positive mental attitude is the right, honest, constructive thought, action, or reaction to any person, situation, or set of circumstance that does not violate the laws of God or the right of one’s fellowman. (Maintain the right attitude—a positive mental attitude)
8. Control Your ENTHUSIASM—with PMA
A person without enthusiasm is like a watch without a mainspring… To become enthusiastic about achieving a desirable goal, keep you mind on that goal day after day. (To be enthusiastic…act enthusiastically!)
9. Enforce SELF-DISCIPLINE—with PMA
Self-discipline enables you to develop control over yourself … [and] begins with mastery of your thoughts, what you really are, what you really do. (Direct your thoughts, control your emotions, ordain your destiny with PMA)
10. THINK ACCURATELY—with PMA
Separate facts form fiction or hearsay evidence. Separate facts into classes: important and unimportant. (Truth will be truth regardless of a closed mind, ignorance, or refusal to believe)
11. Control YOUR ATTENTION—with PMA
Controlled attention is the act of coordinating all the faculties of the mind and directing their combined power to a given end or definite objective. (Keep your mind on the things you want and off the things you don’t want)
12. Inspire TEAMWORK—with PMA
Teamwork is the willing cooperation and the coordination of effort to achieve a specific objective. (That which you share will multiply; that which you withhold will diminish)
13. Learn from ADVERSITY AND DEFEAT—with PMA
Every adversity carries with it the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit for those who have PMA and apply it. (The worst thing that happens to you may be the best thing that can happen to you if you don’t let it get the best of you)
14. Cultivate CREATIVE VISION—with PMA
Man’s greatest gift is his thinking mind. It analyzes, compares, chooses. It creates, visualizes, foresees, and generates ideas. (What can be conceived can be created—with PMA)
15. Maintain SOUND HEALTH—with PMA
You are a mind with a body. To maintain a health consciousness, think in terms of good physical health, not in terms of illness or disease… what your mind focuses upon your mind brings into existence, whether it is financial success or physical health. (I feel healthy! I feel happy! I feel terrific!)
16. Budget your TIME AND MONEY—with PMA
Inventory yourself and your activities. Intelligently balance your use of time and resources, both business and personal. (You don’t always get what you expect unless you inspect—with PMA)
17. Use COSMIC HABITFORCE—with PMA
All of us are ruled by habits. These are fastened upon us by repeated thoughts and experiences … We create patterns of thought by repeating certain ideas or behavior until the Law of Cosmic Habitforce takes over those patterns and makes them more or less permanent unless or until you consciously rearrange them. (Sow an act, reap a habit. Sow a habit, reap a character. Sow a character, reap a destiny)
Where effort lacks, faith does too.
Think about it!
As my friend @RICHYUNGKING says, "If it don't apply let it fly."
Keep in mind these messages aim to motivate, inspire, and spark conversation. Best of luck on your jorney to becoming a better you :)

You can't fail if you have a plan. You WILL fail without one.
Formulate a plan and act on it. It doesn't have to be the "perfect" plan. No successful person's first plan is the one that gets them to their goal.
Remember, a plan is a general map to help you focus on where you're going.
KNOW where you're going and AIM to get there.

I'd ask if we could watch a highlight reel of the tragedies and triumphs in my life while he give me advice on how I can be a better person.
I think I've been on Twitter for a year now. Can't remember exactly when I joined.
Yes I have a workout regimen. I believe healthy mind and body is the way to go. Gotta treat 'em like gold ;-) I work out twice a day and will soon add in choreography in a dance studio with my backup dancers. Summer 2010 is gonna be HOT! Look out for future performance dates on iamGabrielleWhite.com
I just answered a similar question. I'll say it again though... To each his own.
To each his own. I don't have a foot fetish though. And to answer your second question... Yes, I'd like a foot massage and I'll be getting one when I get my weekly pedicure. My pedicures are done regularly all year round.
By talking to people. I know people think this is some "big secret" but it's not. I spend time getting to know who's following me and take interest in what's going on in their lives. You'd be surprised most people just want to feel noticed and appreciated. So there you have it...LoL at the behavioral psychology lesson. BE yourself but don't babble on about yourself. BIG difference!
I'm running out with my family, my hard drive, and my stuffed elephant that I've had since I was 5 yrs old.
The interesting thing about this question is that I've fortunately come to terms with and have accepted much of what has happened in my life. For a long time I still held onto regret of my accident happening: wishing I never got into that car, wishing I'd made it to the Olympic trials for track & field (which I'd spent my life preparing for.) I have learned it's important to appreciate the life you've lived and embrace both the good and the bad. By looking back you only hold yourself back. Without the painful experiences I wouldn't have the drive that pushes my music, or the heart to reach out to my "fan-mily." I'm happy to say my life is all about moving forward so there's nothing I would change :)
I love a good foot massage. Especially while I read a good book. I treat myself to the spa often.
Attempting to take shortcuts on the road to success usually leads to finding dead ends.
Plan and map your route, and you'll find yourself on a fulfilling journey.
Two fingers in the air

To one group of people the words "hard work" sounds like grueling effort so they do none. To another group of people it means to just look busy. Nothing beats consistency. CONSISTENTLY work towards your goals and you'll LEARN and UNDERSTAND the TRUE meaning behind the phrase
"Hard work pays off." If you don't learn to live outside the limits of your comfort zone that's the furthest you'll reach in life. Look around you and ask yourself, "This is it?" If you're not happy then DO something. Just remember even if you "choose" to do nothing you still had a CHOICE in the matter.
Secret to success? Work harder than most are WILLING. Don't look to do what's considered easy.
Hugs & Love,

Every day is a good day if you CHOOSE to view it that way. The perspective lenses--positive or negative--which you choose to view life through changes everything. If you put on shades that are tinted red, you will see everything around you as tinted red.
When I feel negativity being influenced by people around me, or circumstances which have occurred, I say this to myself, "I love life. I enjoy the good in my life and value what IS good in it. I trust that more good WILL come my way."
Negativity attracts more negativity. Remember, misery loves company! Think about it :)

Stop making excuses for everything. STOP placing blame, and START accepting responsibility. A true leader doesn't waste time pointing fingers. They point at themselves, say I WILL do better, and formulate a plan to BE better. Remember, you can NEVER control the actions of others, you can ALWAYS control yourself. Thoughts become actions, and repeated actions become habits. Get in the HABIT of repeatedly handling your business. Don't wait til later. It'll never come. Start now.
Adios amigos!

Todays message is inspired by a conversation with a good friend. That said, I'd also like to point out if the people you call your friends don't motivate and inspire you to be better then it's time you re-evaluate yourself and find a new circle. Think about it.
Gift of Gab Daily:
There's no such thing as failure if you never stop trying. We make mistakes, we don't always get things right the 1st time, but all that is okay as long as we wake up every day determined to be better.
BE better. LIVE better. And it WILL get better. The choice is always yours to make. Never allow anyone to fool you into thinking otherwise.
Peace, Love, & Musical Melodies,

"Life should be about more than just surviving. It should be about thriving."
I agree! Don't settle for "just enough." Be appreciative of what you have in life and always aim to achieve more. The sky is the limit. Allow your talents to shine. Be you. Be great!!
Ciao :)

It started off with everyone calling me the Oprah of Twitter for providing motivational quotes and giving good recommendations on products, sites, apps, etc. Then on my Blackberry I would share positive thoughts via text msg with my friends in the morning while preparing breakfast. Eventually my audience convinced me to share this on a blog and that's what inspired "Gift of Gab Daily."
Gift of Gab Daily is food for thought. Read it once, read it twice. Allow it to marinate in your mind and enjoy the flavors :)
As my friend @RICHYUNGKING always says "If it doesn't apply, let it fly." You may not relate to every message and if you don't, don't sweat it.
I wish you peace, good music, & melodic harmonies today <3
Love,
Gabrielle

It's good to use your heart, but let your heart GUIDE you and allow your mind to LEAD.
Today's a good day if you let it be.
Love Always,

Dont get upset when it rains, learn to dance in it. When life throws you lemons, don't make a sour face, make lemonade. Things will happen that are beyond your control. However, when you make the best of every situation you put YOURSELF in control. Drive the car, don't let it drive you!
Live to love, love to live <3
Thanks for your support. Have a great day :)

When you opened your eyes this morning were you thankful? Do what you love, love what you do. Live life with passion. Everything will look, feel, taste, and seem so much better. Seize the day! The moments passing and we'll never get this time back again.
Peace & Love,

All thanks & praise to God for waking us up another morning...
Today's a new day to finish what we didn't complete yesterday, try again at attempts that didn't go through, build windows of opportunity where doors were closed on us. Today we push to be better than we were yesterday. Embrace the day! Live & love life!
Thank you for joining me on my journey. I wish you success in everything you do.
Love you All!

Do you believe in fate?
If you're referring to random fate.. No. I believe regardless of what circumstances you come from your fate is essentially in your hands. Some of us have to work harder than others, some of us will take longer to succeed than others... The CHOICE is still yours to make--to be resilient, hardworking, and NEVER QUIT. You are your own worst enemy. Work hard, think positively, and push to get what you want in life. Anyone that fools you into thinking you have no control is only trying to control you. Free your mind and learn to use it.
Do you Think there any decent men left in the world and If so are u wylling to give them the time of day
Yes, I believe there's a lot of good men out there. I know they exist because many of my friends are outstanding men that are highly driven and successful. Am I willing to give someone the time of day right now? No, I'm focused on my priorities. My mother taught me to keep my eyes on the prize (my career) and everything else will fall into place. As intelligent and talented as I am, the right one will understand and know I'm well worth the wait ;-)
Are u in love wit anyone...
*SMILES* I'm an R&B artist when am I NOT in love? All we do is sing love songs and inspire people to make babies LoL ... No, seriously though I love music and I'm married and committed to my career. I choose not to focus on my personal life because my talent deserves the spotlight right now.
Do you believe there's intelligent life on other planets?
I'm not too into that alien invasion type stuff lol sorry ... I guess anythings possible #kanyeshrug
Where can I get your mixtape?
Gift of Gab hosted by @DJSuperstarJay is currently available for listen and download here: http://www.tinyurl.com/GabrielleWhite ...The Massacre is coming soon :)
Sneakers or sandals?
I love open toed sandals and the beach is my favorite place to relax.
Do you believe in angels?
Yes, because there are people in this world that do selfless random acts of kindness. Though some people are skeptical, good does still exist in this world.
