More About Prophecy Izis
Prophecy Izis is a recording artist of real authentic reggae music. He sings to teach and uplift the people. His deep cultural lyrics and positive feel reggae beats are sure to make you feel great. Born Melvin Claude Leslie on December 29th 1975, Prophecy Izis is from Westmoreland, Jamaica.

From the age of 9, Melvin Claude sang in churches, schools and community events. Both his parents were members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which made cultural events and traditions a very important part of his upbringing. His music was greatly influenced by reggae icons such as Joseph ‘’Culture’’ Hill, Peter Tosh, Bob Marley and Burning Spear and more. Rastafarianism became more and more important for Melvin Claude from reading Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King and Ily Selassie I speeches. That led him to move away from his parents’ home to the hills where he could ‘’livicate’’ himself to his new order, the Bobo Ashanti. Because of his spirituality his Rastafari brethrens and sistrens started to call him Ras Izis,because izis mean praises.

Inspired musically, he wrote his first song "Bloody War," friends then changed his name to Prophecy Izis. That song was recorded as his 1st single in 2001 under ‘’Name Brand Production’’ in  Savanna-la-Mar Westmoreland, Jamaica. Prophecy Izis has performed in many events in Jamaica, like Tribute to Peter Tosh and Vybzfm concert with artists such as Richie Stevens, Warrior King, Tarrus Riley, Chezidek and Lutan Fyah. Prophecy Izis also released singles with Wildgeese Records such as Jah is Worthy and The System Red.

Remember - "Adjust, Adapt, Improvise, Overcome!!"

If you are the smartest person in your group, then its time to find new friends. If you want to grow and continually improve and achieve the goals that you have set for yourself, then you must surround yourself with people who are consistently challenging themselves to improve themselves. You must surround yourself with people who do not have a victim mentality and do not have a defeatist mentality. It must be a symbiotic relationship. Surround yourself with proven mentors and people who have more knowledge than you do in areas that you want to learn.

Let go of people who just want to be here breathing air and who do not want to do anything with their lives. You are the sum total of the five or more people with whom you associate the most. It is time to throw unnecessary luggage overboard. Cut ALL of the anchors that are pulling you down.

You must be around people who want to participate in their own rescue. The Bible says that whatever a man thinketh so is he. What ever garbage you put in your mind, you will start to reflect the garbage that is in you. If you put positive uplifting thoughts in your mind and fill yourself with positive knowledge, then you will reflect those ideas in how you carry yourself.
 Remember - "Adjust, Adapt, Improvise, Overcome!!"

Why are weekends secret power days?


Saturday is here!


Time to kick back and relax right? Not exactly-when the weekend arrives many of us tend to lose focus of everything we work hard at or hope to achieve during the week. We become lax adopting a mindset of doing nothing. When we do nothing, nothing happens and when nothing happens over the weekend, the following week starts out being a drag because we then have to reshape our minds into thinking again on our goals.

So you may be wondering what should you do on the weekend beside relaxing? The answer is simple, the weekends are secret power days towards a successful week!! Does this mean work? Not really, thoughtfully planning your activities and making the best use of your time on the weekend is the first step.

Your plan should include activities which bring you and the people you love the greatest pleasures while keeping in mind your goals for a successful week. Consistency in working on our goals when opportunity presents itself is the key to riding the wave of success in reaching those goals.

Let us think for a moment, during the week we set goals such as eating healthier foods, waking up on time,  developing a healthier sleep regime, exercising regularly, improving our time management skill, organizing our vehicles and or our  homes etc. On the other hand, over the weekend  we revert to eating unhealthy, sleeping at odd times and hours, stop exercising, fail to set and maintain a schedule, and leave things in disarray. In doing so we set ourselves up for disappointments as those tasks become much harder through out the week. The point here is to always make an effort to be consistent. Hence, its helpful to develop a mindset and put into practice capitalizing on time for maximum success.
Keep working on your goals every day! Team GLR wishes you all a wholesome weekend.
