“Many choose ignorance because ignorance is easy and it often holds no responsibility. Intelligence or knowing a thing on the other hand gives a person self-responsibility to put his or her knowledge into action; and many times leaves a person with a conscious guilt when their knowledge is not applied.”
― Dushawn Banks, True Blue

“In defining words, we are taught in school to have an equal answer for one word. We want to define things in a sentence and words deserve much more. Squeezing words into a box is how we misinterpret it’s meaning. Some things are so great that it would be an understatement defined in any language.”

“In my opinion, faith starts the minute that we stop crying when we are pulled out of our mother’s matrix (womb); the minute that we are in control. When we stop crying we begin to have faith in our surroundings. We begin with faith in oxygen to breathe and faith in our mother’s milk to stop the hunger pains in our stomach. As we get older we begin to have faith in the materials of the world. We have faith in the strength of the trees to build us shelter. We have faith in water to hydrated us, clean us, and carry us when we dive in it. We have faith in fire to keep us warm and cook our food. We have faith in the wind to set our boat’s sail. Our faith grows in materials everyday so we build taller buildings and faster transportation. Using these materials with comfort requires us to have trust in them.”

“Aside from materials, love requires faith. It requires us to give in and let go of all worries of being hurt. Faith is needed to live a successful life because it allows us to have full peace. Peace is the key to happiness. Everything of the world only exist in relationship to something else. Faith is the beginning of the existence of many things.”

“Disease reveal to us how closely connected we are, but the exchange of energies goes unnoticed.”

“I don’t like to “feelâ€� in debate because when I feel I’m giving an answer with my emotions.”
― Dushawn Banks, True Blue

“Communication is more about the listener than it is the speaker. It’s more about how the listener chooses to receive their communication. Many prophetic words are blurred by personal emotion.”

“Do you know that there are people that can’t talk or see so knowing them is deeper than them explaining themselves to you? Knowing them is deeper than their story. Knowing them is reading their eyes.Knowing them is understanding their walk. Knowing them is understanding the difference between their twenties smiles. Knowing them is feeling empathy for their cries. Knowing them is deeper than a vocal or written language. Therefore, a person can never know me by only reading my story. Knowing is a perception. Fully knowing is the impossible.”
― Dushawn Banks, True Blue

“God is power. The God of all has the ultimate power. I understand that God is in me because I am a child of God, (and the information in my DNA connects back to God) but we have to understand that our power doesn’t mean invincibility. Many creatures who had power are now extinct, because our bodies are made to someday die; and then our energy is turned into another form. Our bodies and mind are a gift. The greatest thing that we can do with a gift from someone is to take care of it and use it as a tool. Humans didn’t survive by being the strongest in the jungle. Humans survived by our ability to think. Our mind is our true power. The way that we compete with the world is through our mind, so it would make sense for our mind to be a target in any battle.”

“Sometimes showing only one side of the pyramid holds the value of a lie. If you asked me to explain fire and I only told you that it burns things, then I’m not giving you a full understanding of fire. Yes, it burns things, but it also cooks our food and warms us. Maybe everything in the universe is balanced on a negative and positive.”

“You can’t rewrite history the way that you want it. History is a factual thing.”

“Art imitates life. Then life turns around and imitates art. That’s the power of an artist. So, if you want to start a revolution just create art.”
― Dushawn Banks, True Blue

“Faith is trusting the water. Letting go and trusting that the water will catch you. Knowledge is knowing that during high tide the water will sweep you away and even lead you to your demise. We need knowledge within faith.”
― Dushawn Banks, True Blue

“Our creator gave us the ability to think. When we have to be told how to do everything we are not using our gift. We should have faith in God, but also trust ourselves to make conscious decisions. The world has a lot of things confused. Books are written tools to help us align our lives in a positive way. We are using them incorrectly when we allow a book to think for us. That’s really contradictory to its purpose.”
― Dushawn Banks, True Blue

“We should have peace in the difference in religious books as we do with the difference in language. Is there a wrong way to communicate?”

“Words help us describe our soul.”

“Words can change your soul.”

“Go on a fast and you’ll see how long the day is.”

“I don’t believe... The sun doesn’t ask for your opinion to come out and shine. Plants don’t ask for your opinion to heal. The body doesn’t ask for your opinion to die. The world doesn’t ask for your opinion to live. Time moves in circles, and the cheat sheet is the past.”
― Dushawn Banks, True Blue

“It isn’t productive to tell the world what they are supposed to do because then we are denying people of their right to be an individual. Changing the world consists of changing ourselves and letting the world be influenced by our change.”
― Dushawn Banks, True Blue

“People tend to judge others by their experience with life. People tend to judge others by their experience with love. People tend to judge others by their experience with pain. People tend to judge others by their experience with trust. I often laugh at false judgement. I’m usually laughing because you don’t know that your false judgments just hold a mirror to you. Your doubt lets me know what you’ve never seen and your comparisons lets me know what you’ve been through. I think that judgement comes when a person doesn’t understand the psychology of reasoning behind another person’s actions. A man or woman who has walked in many shoes has the ability to overstand an action, but disagree without judgement because of this overstanding.”
― Dushawn Banks, True Blue

“In the law of attraction, we always want others to be attracted to the part of us that we want them to be attracted to. We will have three sides of us and become frustrated when the majority of people are only attracted to the negative. Even if this negative side is visited the least, your attraction is telling you something about yourself. Listen. Then make proper adjustments.”

“There is no such thing as being of the world and not benefiting the world. Even at the least, in death your energy will be food for something.”

“There are many things that a man built from creations; But I can’t name many things that a man created. A woman had to be built on love because the continuance of life is in her hands. If she really hated a man, then he would cease to exist. She created him.”
― Dushawn Banks, True Blue

“Though different species, we all speak the language of love. Love is the universal language.”
― Dushawn Banks, True Blue

“When it's dark we are forced to think and move on our own. In the daylight we tend to stop thinking and start to follow the formation of our surroundings. That’s why darkness is an important time for creative thought, innovation, and revolution.”
― Dushawn Banks, True Blue

“Nothing of the world, as we know it, exists by itself; but in relation. If a person was to open their eyes in a world with no light, no roads, and no trees, then they would think they were in a dream. They would have nothing to look at, nothing to think about, and nothing to look forward to.”
― Dushawn Banks, True Blue

“Hating competition is a form of ignorance. A wise man knows that competition keeps us on our best game. Without competition we have no reason to work because even at our worst we would win. So instead of hating any form of competition, I want to thank them for pushing me to walk in my greatest shoes.”
― Dushawn Banks, True Blue

“Sometimes our pride and success are going in two different directions. Not our morals and success. Not our respect and success. Not our faith and success, but our ego and success. We can’t be who we want to be and still become successful. Not who we need to be. We can’t be who we are tempted to be, and still become successful. Sometimes failure is success because it saved us from roads that we shouldn’t have been on in the first place.”

“A big mistake that we make while we are young is disregarding the future. A lot of our present pains come from our past decisions.”
