DJ Kuwn was a FRIEND. I so loved his strong mind, sacrificial service to even strangers, his good character and upstanding nature. Kuwn loved people and wasn’t afraid to show it by giving all he had to THEIR (if warranted ‘cause he was selective now hehe). I will forever thank God for the opportunity to have him a part of my world.

REAL FRIENDS aren’t easy to come by so give them their flowers while they live. Be sure you do all you can while you’re amongst the land of the living to show love, act in a way to be loved and leave behind a good name. A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, love and favor more than silver and gold. Proverbs 22:1

A critically lauded, underground hip-hop artist who eventually found mainstream success with his artistically daring and politically conscious music, Common eventually parlayed his profile into acting. Common began his career as a cult figure in alternative hip-hop in the early 1990s, at a time when commercial rap was dominated by warring gangstas from both coasts. With his literary lyrics focused more on love and spirituality than drugs and guns, Common built a following among music critics and hip-hop fans alienated by the negative direction of gangsta rap. He earned some backlash for doing so, but eventually triumphed in the late 1990s amidst a growing revival of old school hip-hop. Following a number of best-selling, Grammy-winning albums, he began an acting career. Unlike Common's musical content, which was socially outspoken and positive, his early supporting film roles found him playing just the type of street thugs his music had railed against. As he began to find his footing in action and comedy features, Common proved that his magnetism and persona as a stage performer translated quite well to big screen characters.
called CDR, achieving some local airplay and opening larger shows for national groups. He left the group to attend Florida A & M University where he worked towards a business degree, but continued refining his lyrical style and recording demo taps. When one of those early tapes led to Common's inclusion in the Unsigned Hype column in Source magazine, he left school and shifted his focus to a music career. Under the name Common Sense, he released Can I Borrow a Dollar? in 1992. The indie met with generally positive reviews and earned the budding artist a cult following on the underground hip-hop scene. His 1994 follow-up release Resurrection built on that promising start and displayed a literary, politically conscious lyricist who was unafraid to go against the popular (and lucrative) trend of gangsta rap. Some of his lyrics, including on the song "I Used to Love H.E.R.," openly criticized the path hip-hop was taking, which sparked a highly publicized defense from West Coast rapper, Ice Cube.
Controversy surrounding the rappers' debate generated significant attention to the lesser-known Common Sense, bringing mainstream attention and increased interest in the kinder agenda of alternative hip-hop. The spat with Ice Cube also brought Common Sense to the attention of a band with the same name, whose lawsuit prompted the artist to Listen to the Common & Anson Interview with Valder Beebe at Hip Hop National Partner shorten his Born Lonnie http://www.hiphopnational.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/VALDER-BEEBE-SHOW-CELEB-edited-INTERVIEW-common.mp3 name to Rashid Lynn, relocating from Chicago to Brooklyn, NY, Jr. on March 13, 1972, in Chicago, IL, Common was the Common. After son of a teacher, Dr. Mahalia Anne Hines, and former Common's profile continued to rise with a contract with pro basketball player, Lonnie Lynn. He was raised mainly Relativity Records, coupled with the appearance of his by his mother following his parents' divorce, who stressed single "The Remedy" in the film "Get on the Bus" (1996). the importance of education and regular attendance at One Day It'll All Make Sense (1997) found a wider audience the Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago's South Side than Common's previous releases, thanks in part to a with her son. Common wrote his first rap - an homage to growing revival of the early, more poetic and political days Cincinnati rappers Bond Hill Crew - in his early teens and of hip-hop. The well-received album included collaborations by high school, began performing as an MC with a group with like-minded artists Lauryn Hill from The Fugees, Q-Tip
from A Tribe Called Quest, Canibus, and Black Thought from The Roots, and led to a contract with MCA Records. While Common worked on his new album, some of his earlier recordings began to make it into films, including the boxing biopic "The Hurricane" (1999) and Spike Lee's satire "Bamboozled" (2000).
The Multi-Talented and Always Busy Actors Star in AMC's Hit Dramatic Series Credited with Modernizing the Western Genre…
Hell On Wheels *Season One* “Unforgiven meets Glory in this grimy post-Civil War Western series.” -- In Touch Magazine “AMC rolls out another winner with Hell on Wheels.” -- New York Daily News “Railroads may not seem sexy, but this series brings a There Will Be Blood aesthetic to episodic TV.” -- Wall Street Journal As a Multi-Grammy Award Winning Musician, noted Actor, Literary Author, Community Activist and Inspirational Leader, Common has spent his career pushing boundaries and taking listeners out of their comfort zones with his socially conscious words. He has also emerged as one of Hollywood's most sought after leading men and has been seen on the silver screen in numerous box office hits. Common will next be seen in the major motion picture The Odd Life of Timothy Green with Jennifer Garner. He stars along side film television and stage actor Anson Mount. Together Common and Mount star in AMC's Hell On Wheels. Common plays an emancipated slave working to achieve true freedom in a world full of prejudice. Mount plays a former soldier focused on avenging his wife's death. The show transports audiences back to post Civil War America and examines the struggles and hardships of rebuilding and repairing our country after the bloodiest war on American soil. The series examines the railroad's institutionalized greed and corruption, the immigrant experience, the plight of the newly emancipated African-Americans during Reconstruction, and the ravaging of the Native American land and people, in the name of progress.

Words from HIP HOP NATIONAL FOUNDER / VISIONARY
It's All About The Business! As a leader and Pioneer in a forever changing Industry, Hip Hop National believes it is important to provide you with the most up to date pertinent information as possible that can eventually assist you in obtaining your dreams. We are often surfing the Web to get this information from the view points of other music business insiders so that we will not just lean on our on understanding. The information you are about to embark on comes from trusted Industry Insiders. It's no secret that the internet is really changing our lives. It's either we get with the times or get left behind. The major labels still are the front runners but have now been forced to make room for the underdogs to come up. Today as music artist we must see ourselves as a business, furthermore, as labels. "With more revenue streams available to artists than ever before, it is of utmost importance that musicians take a proactive approach to the business side of their careers. While the main focus should remain on music; not structuring the band and its goings-on appropriately, which has been a crucial misstep for so many artists. Here are a few things to think about when your career starts gaining momentum. Objectives As with with any business, it’s important to clearly state your goals and objectives, both long-term and short. Do you want to record an EP or LP? Do you want to buy new gear? Are you hoping to get picked up as a support act on a national tour? Do you want to get signed to a recording contract? Do you want to find a manager? Do you want to find a new rehearsal space? This is the time to discuss what everyone in the band hopes to accomplish. Determine what is important and what is realistic. You can absolutely include your very long term, borderline “pipe dream” goals here, but keep in mind: the goal of this is to make sure everyone in the band is gaining focus and making sure everyone wants the same things. If your drummer has only been playing for a month, your singer is tone deaf, and your bass player still hasn’t saved enough money to buy an instrument, you probably won’t get picked up by Radiohead as support on their next tour so don’t set yourself up for disappointment and the resulting, feeling as though you’ve failed. Be realistic in what you can do in a given amount of time, but don’t be afraid to aspire to greatness. Organization & Management In every business, there has to be organization, and a band is no different. For the sake of example, let’s say you don’t have a manager. Who will be handing the negotiations for the band? Will it be one person consistently? Maybe one person for booking gigs, another for ordering merchandise, and another promotion and press? Be clear in what the expectations are for each band member and be consistent. Obviously situations may arise and tasks may need to be juggled every now and again; if this occurs, be sure to speak in person or on the telephone" Don't just rely technology, The last thing anyone wants is a gig with no merchandise to sell because you assumed your "fellow band member' got the last minute text you sent about stopping to pick up the new shipment of t-shirts on the way to the venue, or some equally disastrous scenario." Money Money has probably destroyed more professional relationships than anything else in the world. In your band, figure out, specifically, how things will work with band finances. Are all band members equal partners? If not, who gets what percentage? Who will handle the band’s accounting? Will you open a band bank account? Who will be able to access it? Who can deposit and withdraw funds? Does the band owe anyone money? Is everyone of aware of this debt and how it was incurred? How will you raise the funds for band expenses (i.e.; recording, touring, etc)? If someone needs a new instrument, is that a band expense, or their personal expense? Do you need to speak to a professional accountant about taxes for band earnings (live performance earnings, merchandise & music sales, etc)? Talk about these things openly and get it all written out. Make sure everyone has copies. It may not be fun to discuss it, but it’s best to discuss it early on and be done with it. If you aren’t comfortable speaking about these sorts of issues with your band mates, they probably shouldn’t be your band mates. Contracts Very closely related to the above topic– draft contracts. For everything. Explicitly state who gets what share of earnings and make it legal. It may feel strange to do this with band mates and friends but it is a necessity. One visit with a neighborhood attorney to draw up such a document won’t cost much at all and it will save countless arguments, not to mention your band and your relationships. Keep the contracts you sign with managers, PR reps, promoters, booking agents, and everyone in between. You never know when you may have to refer to something at a later date. For those talented and fortunate enough to be professional musicians, the future can hold countless opportunities in a fascinating industry. Establishing the business and organizational part of your career early on will afford much more time for writing, recording, touring, and interacting with fans. While it may not be the part kids dream of when playing air guitar in their bedrooms, a well-thought-out business plan will provide longevity and allow the opportunity to make music for a much longer period of time." Promotions Most start-up bands often overlook this detail but it is what separate the unsuccessful artists from the successful Music Artist. The unsuccessful artist fail to budget for promoting their music. Budgeting for a marketing campaign is the nuts and bolts that sets you apart from the competition. The one advantage that major labels still have over smaller labels is the money and the know how to do so. Smaller labels must set aside monies for their marketing needs such as for Interviews, Radio ads, billboards, poster, flyer and etc. It time for you to start to think like a label.

Emails, Texting & Social Messaging, Is It Effective When Doing Business?
Guest: Michell La’France, Amiee Cuffie, Gynesis, Iveens Jean Pierre & Hellz Flame In this episode we spoke about e-mails texting and social messaging is it an effective form of communication. There is so often that an e-mail has been sent. So many forms of communication we can't expect everyone to be using the same form of communication that we are choosing to use because of the array of choices we now have in life. The question is, would it be polite simply call someone to give them a heads up that a message has been sent to them so that there will be a lapse in time? www.blogtalkradio.com/hiphopnationalradio/2012/06/07/the-hip-hop-national-radio-conference-call-feedback-line

In watching this business of music change in the last 10 years, there has been some things that I have seen stay the same. Remarkably, the performance of the so called "Indie Hip Hop Artist" is going to be a cookie cutter deal (I’m sure we could replace Hip Hop with almost any genre of music). It seems that you could literally walk into an open mic on any given night, close your eyes, and you could easily imagine the scene. Some choice performer will be introduced by the host, then walk up to the stage, give a non-prophetic performance (usually 5-10 min), and then comes the famous adjusted Russell Simmons speech: "Thankx for coming out. God bless you. Buy my CD. Follow me on Twitter. Find me on Facebook. Let's stand up for the city!" I think it's a shame that in a world where 10 year olds now have cell phones, billions of videos are posted on youtube, and you can go to the store and buy a 3D TV, that artists still do not recognize that one of the main points of being in the entertainment business is to ENTERTAIN. As much as they aspire to be like the artists they see on TV, they never study those artists to see how to make their performances better. I sometimes wonder what someone would do if they came to an open mic where at least 80% of the artists came up with a show (Just fyi, it’s not even 10% right now). I don’t wanna scare hip hop artists with nightmares of dancers with some routine, you might think about something simple. Something like turning the lights off when before they hit the stage to bring some dramatics. Or here’s one… Maybe the artists could actually talk to the audience instead of waiting on the DJ to start their music. In the end, maybe no one would get signed that night, but how many paying customers, and artists, might actually get online and post this: "I saw alot of great ENTERTAINERS last night. I mean everybody actually put on a show!!! Can't wait to go to the next one!!" - Something to think about. Late Mr. Kuwn-Dalini

Born in Marks, Mississippi. Raised in Lambert Mississippi. Stephen Pride grew up learning at an early age— Nothing is given to you. Earn your keep, be humble and be thankful for the things he received. Stephen first realized he had some gifts at the age of six. While singing some with his stepmother in the church choir, Stephen most noticed his own talent when he drew the stage prop backdrop for a Christmas program at his school. Another sign Stephen remembers was listening to himself while practicing octave scales. The Alto Saxophone became his instrument of choice in the h i g h s c h o o l b a n d . Eventually, at the age of nineteen, Stephen’s instrument of choice became the guitar. This was after a friend let him sing in his band. He grew to enjoy singing and realized his most enjoyment was fullfilled while singing country and r&b. Singing and performing country music has proven to be Stephen’s gift that he thanks God for everyday. Today Stephen Pride resides in Garland, Texas.

KENYA
Every so often, a talent comes along that embodies everything that a performing artist should be; Kenya is such an artist. Born in Sulphur Springs, Texas, it wasn’t long before her community became aware that Kenya was “born to sing”. She began singing and wowing the masses at the tender age of 3 years old. She began entering and winning local area pageants, which served to help her to develop and refine the art of p er f or m in g i n fron t of l a r g e audiences. At the age of 16, the CEO of the National Black Rodeo personally invited her to travel with the rodeo tour to sing the National Anthem before crowds of up to 20,000 spectators in major arenas around the nation. Kenya independently recorded her very first album (gospel) in 2005 entitled "Be Still." Her influences were her very own fraternal Grandmother, who is a gifted vocalist in her own right; contemporary gospel singers Yolanda Adams and CeCe Winans, the soulful and powerful Patti LaBelle, and other performance legends such as Tina Turner and Michael Jackson. Two more albums followed. She has had the wonderful privilege of singing behind Juanita Bynum and for Mary, Mary. Kenya recently won 2nd place among 39,000 participants in a nationally held singing competition facilitated at the prestigious Gaylord Texan Resort and Complex in North Texas. Kenya recently recorded an inspirational track called “Say A Prayer” for a movie soundtrack, ear marked for the “Henry Ford” autobiography starring Brad Pitt and a notable supporting cast including Robert DeNiro, Scarlett Johansson, Naomi Watts, Jeremy Renner and Cedric the Entertainer. Kenya is also an accomplished songwriter and aspires to do professional theater, television and film. She produced her own “one-woman” theatrical production called “Saved By Grace” and sold out a 2,000-seat venue, turning away hundreds of fans at the door. She was recently cast in a dramatic stage play under the direction of the accomplished playwright, Shelly Garrett and is hopeful to embark on a multi-city tour this year. She also is working with Kirk Franklin in an ensemble of sorts in August, 2012. This all-around artist has truly been blessed with tremendous gifts. Her powerful and sultry voice, combined with her seasoned ability to entertain and a very humble spirit, round out the perfect ingredients required for

Don’t Drink the Kool-Aid Here we are at this time of year again! It is a very exciting time and it is an opportunity for us to get ourselves all worked up and communicate our feelings with great emotion. That’s right; it’s the beginning of football season. So many of us will begin explaining our desires and hopes for our favorite football team and the reason why they will make the super bowl. We all start off with so much promise and this truth reigns for the Dallas Cowboys. Before we go further, please be careful before drinking the Kool-Aid! While the Cowboys Owner is very optimistic this year, as he is at this point every year, and wants to get back to the “Glory Hole,” please don’t drink the Kool-Aid that Boss Hogg Jerry is serving. The Cowboys have made some changes during the off season but again, we won’t know how beneficial these changes will be until the season gets underway. One thing is for certain, in order for this franchise to get back to its glory days, the climate in the organization will have to ultimately change. Owner Jerry Jones has done a great job in keeping this franchise relevant. GM Jerry Jones is consistent in trying to get the best players on the team. However, I believe that President Jerry Jones has failed in maintaining a championship environment. The Cowboys have change Head Coaches, assistant coaches, released players, brought in free agents, and have drafted new players, but the inconsistency of this franchise has remained the same in the past 15 years. You simply do not know which Cowboy team will show up on Sunday. For example, this off season we have seen the departure of Terrence Newman and the arrival of Brandon Carr. Right now that appears to be an upgrade, but we won’t actually know until we face the NY Giants the first game of the season. Not to mention that our secondary is still suspect, even with the draft of number one pick Maurice Claiborn. Looks like a different flavor Kool-Aid, but it is still Kool-Aid. The linebackers are still anchored by DeMarcus Ware. Sean Lee will continue to be a bright spot, but will anyone else put consistent pressure on the quarterback? Did we bring in anyone that will help DeMarcus Ware? Looks like the same Kool-Aid as last year. The defensive line has made upgrades. Oh, I’m sorry…can someone please tell me if they added anything? Jay Ratliff will start off great, but will be worn down by the 10th game of the season. Not because he is physically tired, but because no one else from the defensive line will be playing with the same passion. Same Kool-Aid. Well, we have brought in new offensive lineman through free agency and will they really make a difference? They have a new offensive line coach in Bill Callahan. I’m sure this is an upgrade, right? Probably so, but how much different will they make in a year? Will they be able to pick up a blitz late in the season when the playoffs are on the line? This Kool-Aid looks familiar to me. Our receiving corps is missing a third receiver. No doubt Dez Bryant, Miles Austin and Jason Witten are all playmakers, however, Dez hasn’t played a full season, Miles was hurt last year and Witten is a year older. Who will fill the void that Laurent Robinson has left who was a surprise last year and proved to be very valuable. Same Kool Aid if you ask me. We should be ok at running back with DeMarco Murray and Felix Jones if we can stay healthy. This has been a problem for the past few years. Same Kool-Aid. Now finally, the sugar in this Kool-Aid is, Tony Romo. Even though Romo had one of his best seasons last year, 31 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, he consistently makes costly mistakes when the game is on the line. Will this change this year? Will something magically happen that Romo doesn’t make these costly mistakes? Well, we don’t know. We have no idea. We don’t have a clue. I’m definitely now staring at this Kool-Aid with my eyes wide shut. Finally, I don’t want to get my hopes up again. However, I’m thirsty, it’s hot and it has been awhile since I have had a good glass of Kool-Aid. I know I shouldn’t drink it, but I do see everyone else drinking their glass. Well, here I go, pour me a glass and lets go Cowboys!
Count Your Wealth Money, wealth and riches, I too often hear the young and the old say “when I win the lottery” or “when I get rich,” or other similar money statements. I cannot tell you about winning the lottery, because I have only bought two tickets in my lifetime and those were at the urging of my husband when winning the lottery, had an extreme mega pay out. Truthfully, in my heart, I did not believe that I would win. With my understanding of the power of intention, I know that you must intend something to attract it. As for getting rich, I have said those statements over and over in my life “when I get rich….” Today, I have not gotten rich by simply making that statement many times. But I am extremely wealthy in the eyes of God. I am healthy after a life altering illness years ago. All four of our children were born healthy and without defect. My family and I live in a country that was founded on the principles and the beliefs of GOD, I am wealthy. You may want to know how to turn this spiritual wealth into abundant physical wealth? First, know that GOD is the source of all that you will ever obtain in spiritual and physical wealth. Be grateful, express gratitude. Each day that you awake, make gratitude to God your first priority. Thank God for waking you up, for your body moving (weather it hurts or not), for having the freedom to plan your day, for the blessings that you will give and receive in this day. Take time to talk to God, a few movements will work and talking to God for hours will change your life (the choice is yours). Know that God wants to hear from you, he want to know what you think. From experience I know that you do not have to spend your valuable time telling God what is wrong. I call it “stop dragging GOD to your problems.” GOD is bigger that the challenges of life, so bring your challenges, problems, dark places, problem people, bring them to throne of Grace. Ask for forgiveness for those things you have done wrong willingly and unwillingly. As you petition God about those dark places in your life, now you begin to thank God for loving you as you are; flawed, broken, sad and imperfect. Yet, ask God to give you the strength to be the perfect, complete, joyous, whole child of God, who loves the you that he created you to be.

‘Pastor Rap – Back to Church Sunday’ Video Goes Viral COLORADO SPRINGS, Co. – “We’re going back to church. Well, all right! Check it! Back to Church Sunday. That’s what’s up. You ain’t ever seen a church like this. Yep! We’ve got lights, cameras, plenty of action. Don’t need a suit, man. Try relaxing.” These are the opening lyrics to the “Pastor Rap – Back to Church Sunday” YouTube video (www.youtube.com/watch?v=nx_P_afu_tU) that features rapping pastors encouraging people to attend church on Sept. 16 for the 4th annual National Back to Church Sunday. The video, already viewed more than 43,000 times, is part of the Back to Church 2012 Church Kit that contains a variety of promotional tools to help churches inspire members to invite family, friends, neighbors and co-workers to go to church with them. The kit, available at www.BacktoChurch.com/store, includes the “Pastor Rap,” six other promotional videos, more than 60 digital resources, an e-book, e-vites, social media links, sermons and other materials. “This is one of the best tools out there to involve your congregation in asking and inviting the lost to church,” said Eric Abel, vice president of marketing for Outreach Inc., which, along with LifeWay Christian Resources, is a major sponsor of the annual event. This year, National Back to Church Sunday expects members of more than 14,000 churches to invite people to attend church on Sunday, Sept. 16, as part of a growing national movement to bring spiritual renewal to communities nationwide. Although 83 percent of American adults identify themselves as Christians, only about 20 percent attend church on any given Sunday. Yet, a study by LifeWay Research and the North American Mission Board of more than 15,000 Americans found 67 percent say a personal invitation from a family member would be effective in getting them to visit a church. Sixty-three percent say an invitation from a friend or neighbor would likely move them to respond. “Do Back to Church Sunday to evangelize the community around your church, those unchurched and those whom have left the church,” said Philip Nation, LifeWay Research’s director of ministry development. Since the initiative began in 2009, National Back to Church Sunday has become a nationwide movement, with church members inviting more than 3.5 million family members, friends, neighbors and co-workers to special services. In 2011, more than 7,600 churches – double the number of the prior year - representing 34 denominations participated in the nationwide effort to reach out to their communities, inviting millions of people to attend. As a result, participating churches opened their doors to an estimated 250,000 visitors. The churches welcomed an average of 34 new visitors and experienced an average 25 percent increase in attendance. To get involved, churches are encouraged to sign up at www.BacktoChurch.com and begin taking steps now to encourage members to get out of their comfort zones and invite someone to church on Sept. 16. Many churches are using their own Facebook pages, as well as videos posted on YouTube and Vimeo, to encourage participation. Organizers can exchange ideas on the National Back to Church Sunday Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ backtochurch), while the event’s website (www.BacktoChurch.com) gives individuals an opportunity to extend electronic invitations to friends, relatives and colleagues. A list of participating churches is available at www.BacktoChurch.com/roster. As churches register their participation, their names and locations are added to the roster, allowing people to easily find a church to attend on that special Sunday. National Back to Church Sunday (www.BacktoChurch.com) is the single largest annual community outreach in the nation, sharing the simple message and mission of inviting everyone in America Back To Church. The campaign empowers churches and church members with the tools they need to welcome their neighbors, friends and loved ones back to church, while providing the unchurched with an easy way to find a welcoming church in their community. LifeWay Christian Resources (www.lifeway.com), in operation since 1891, is one of the largest Christian resource organizations in the world. LifeWay Research exists for the purpose of equipping church leaders with insight that will lead to greater levels of ministry effectiveness through research-based books and reports based on statistically validated surveys. LifeWay Research is one of the most trusted sources of information about the church, culture, and faith. Ty Mays @ (770) 256-8710 tmays@inchristcommunications.com

Managing The Stresses Of Making Business Decisions In The Music Industry By: Stan Popovich
It can be stressful when you have to make important decisions regarding your business and career. We all want to make the right decisions and this can create a lot of anxiety. As a result, here are some suggestions on how to manage the stresses of making the right decisions. First, get all of the facts and necessary information to make the right decision. Find out the necessary facts of the situation and study all relevant information. This is important because you do not want to miss critical information that could make a difference in your decision. Think about what you want and consider the possible outcomes of your decision. Each decision will lead to new opportunities. Consider the possible opportunities and go from there. Spend some time just thinking about what is it that you want. Get advice from your friends. It is important to consider other viewpoints other than your own. Ask your friends and relatives on what they think that you should do. These people know you and they can give you additional insights that you may be overlooking. Take a deep breath to help relax in making your decisions. If you still feel stressed, then get some fresh air or do something fun to help relax. You will feel better and gain a fresh perspective on your current situation. This will make it easier to make the right decision. Remember that you make decisions all the time. It would not be the end of the world if you made the wrong decision. You can always re-evaluate your situation and do something different. Do not put a lot of pressure on just one decision. You will have other opportunities to correct the situation. Remember that making a business decision is not a life or death situation. If you make the wrong decision then the next step is to learn from your mistakes and go from there. Learn what you did right and learn what you did wrong. The key is not get so worked up that you do not know what to do. Be patient and eventually you will be able to make the right business decision. Do not let your fears get the best of you. The decision making process does not have to be stressful. Consider all of the facts and your interest when making a decision. This should help reduce your anxieties in making those important choices.
