• 🇨🇼👑🦁💯💪🏾 • “.. G E N U I N E • Don't you sacrifice who you are, just because someone else has a problem with it. 💁🏾‍♂ Living a genuine life takes courage but the rewards are so worth it. 🙌🏾 The difference between my darkness and your darkness is that I can look at my own flaws in the face and accept its existence while you are busy covering your mirror with a white linen sheet.😷 The difference between my sins and your sins is that when I sin I know I'm sinning while you have actually fallen prey to your own fabricated illusions. ✨🌎 ...” ― Gwendell Mercelina, Jr. #KeepMeSharp #FortunateSoul #HeroesWisdom #TheGenuineDifference #RightNowInCuraçao 🇨🇼 (at Ergilio Hato Stadium)

• 🇨🇼🦁💯 • “.. I AM • Who am I, you ask? I am made from all the people I’ve encountered and all the things I have experienced. Inside, I hold the laughter of my friends, the arguments with my parents, the chattering of young children, the warmth of kind strangers and the bright night time stars. Inside, there are stitching from cracked hearts, bitter words from heated arguments, music that gets me through and emotions I cannot convey. I am made from all these people, these moments and the universe. That is who I am...” ― Ming D. Liu #KeepMeSharp #FortunateSoul #HeroesWisdom #iAm #RightNowInCuraçao 🇨🇼 (at Julianadorp, Curaçao)

• 🇨🇼👑🦁💯💪🏾 • “.. H E R O • He sacrificed his birthday on June 1st, while I chose to support the students of the vocational school FEFFIK. Today these youngsters are #NationalHeroes. #Fathersday #Fathersbirthday And still my main hero (dad) kept me sharp at all moments. Hard times don't create #heroes. It is during the hard times when the 'hero' within us is revealed. I'm saying to be a hero means you step across the line and are willing to make a sacrifice, so heroes always are making a sacrifice. Heroes always take a risk. Heroes always deviant. Heroes always doing something that most people don't and we want to change. Heroes are made by the paths they choose, not the powers they are graced with. Heroes represent the best of ourselves. 🌎 ...” ― Gwendell Mercelina, Jr. #KeepMeSharp #FortunateSoul #HeroesWisdom #TheFatherPower #RightNowInCuraçao 🇨🇼 (at Happy Father's Day)

🇨🇼 • “.. ‘You can't have dreads nor locks, because you are a politician. You can't be sharp nor critical, because you are a politician. You can't be working in the media nor be on television for any other thing, because you are a politician. You can't have all type of friends, because you are a politician. You can't be an artist, because you are a politician. You can't be poor, because you are a politician. You can't do that kind of work, because you are a politician. You can't say the whole truth, because you are a politician. Well.. if I let you tell me what is possible for me to do, you are a little bit too late. Because if you are not in the struggle, don't even expect to eat any piece of cake in the glory. Don't ever let rejections or failures put you down and keep you from trying. Believe in yourself, have an unwavering desire to excel, put in your best efforts, persevere and you will blaze your trail. In the art of war, if you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the approaching battles. But if you know only yourself and not the enemy, for every victory there will also be defeat. Martin Luther King Jr. once said: 'Quietly endure, silently suffer and patiently wait.' 💯’ ... ” 👑🙏🏾 ― Gwendell Mercelina, Jr. #TheArtOfWar #KeepMeSharp #FortunateSoul #HeroesWisdom #SacredHeart (at Parokia Di Suffisant)
