Mishon (profile) recently did an interview with JimmyJazz where he talked about peer pressure, falling in love too quickly and his own personal relationship mistakes. In the interview, Mishon had this message for his young fans:

Word From YBStar:

“I think nowadays in our world it’s a lot of peer pressure. People see stuff and sometimes they feel forced to do stuff. I’m just reminding them that if you really like somebody then you don’t have to go all the way. You should really get to know somebody better,”

– Mishon Ratliff, Quote from www.jimmyjazz.com

“Feed the Dream; Starve the Nightmare”
- Unknown

I love this quote because it puts things in perspective. When you have a vision, there is one of two things you can do: succumb to your fears or take proactive steps to realize your vision. A lot of times, we either feed or starve both which gets us nowhere, but when we are able to truly commit ourselves to being proactive in achieving our goals and blocking out any negativity and overcoming obstacles, we are capable of being successful realizing our dreams.
