Run is a reverend, a family man with his own TV show and co-author of a book on family values. You can sign up to receive daily affirmations on his MySpace page.

In an era when hip hop artists are increasingly becoming multimedia, "360 model" businessmen and entrepreneurs, Rev Run's Words of Wisdom is nothing new, nor is it particularly sexy or amazing. But the fact that Run has personally texted his affirmations to the Williams sisters, Diddy, and Donald Trump, and the 30 million-plus viewers of his show has heard them, it seems worth taking a look at, right?

Here's a few:

Any idiot can face a crisis. It's day to day living that wears you out.

If you don't give yourself a quick kick in the butt, someone else will.

The acronym for fear is: False Evidence Appearing Real.

Get your shine on! When you shine, you light everyone's path.

Your family should be run like a business...with weekly family meetings.

Are things being held up in your life?...Take a spiritual colonic and let life begin to flow for you.

Spoken like a true hip hop reverend. If the daily affirmations aren't doing it for you, Run still performs, even if it is with Kid Rock. And, although he'd never condone living in the past, we can always revisit Run's former self.
