What’s the key to happiness? Some ppl say… A lot of it is based on letting go of things that no longer serve you. Honestly,  that’s only partially correct. I tell ppl constantly that forgiveness is the strongest & best thing an individual could do. It’s the most admirable thing to do especially when you have been wronged. There has been plenty of times that I forgave ppl that weren’t even sorry.  That’s perfectly okay bc now I’m at peace out of forgiveness. You do it to free your mind from disorderly conduct. All of us can sit here and tally up how many times a person, place,  or situation did them dirty. These circumstances very well may change lives. Guess what??? You gotta keep moving forward… I can sit here and do wordplay all day long. But I can’t sit here and make this message more clearer than it already is right now. It is time for you to try forgiveness.  Free your mind from bs…. I guarantee those other options are leading you on a path to self destruction.  The more bitter a person, the harder the times. We all have to learn how to move through the channels, why not now?

Today, I have major concern with the world. More so within our society about how everyone wants everything at the drop of a dime. When will you learn that real things take time and that’s just what it is. The more time & effort you put into those goals and dreams… the more likely you will stick with it. Yes, motives do change! Yes, you will run into roadblocks! Yes, Sacrifices will be made! It all comes with the grind. The key thing that people never tell you about the grind/struggle/process is that most of it moves in slow motion. 🐌 The reason for that is seeing how bad you want it! I’m not saying you have to sell your soul. It will take numerous uncomfortable periods of growth to get there. You will be fine… things just take time ✌🏾

Discipline makes all the difference in the world. That is a skill set that most ppl have yet to learn or may never learn. If you’re unable to manage self, how can you lead? Anybody looking up to you will run across the same pitfalls. If you’re going to lead, make sure you give ppl the full experience, by sharing the lows as much as the highs.

I use to think my pops was the meanest person in the world. Held me accountable for everything I did. Welp! Can’t go outside unless this is completed. Need to get home before this time frame. The list goes on! Everything I did was critiqued down to the bone. I’m talking about everything I do always resulted in.. “you could do better”..  had a lot of days where I was upset but now I see why things were done this way. It had everything to do with my environment, culture,  and how we were able to reach heights other ppl dreamed about. That was the type of childhood and adolescent lifestyle I experienced, on top of the hardships that an average kid would have. Little did ik that type of pressure repeatedly was building me up to be solid. That type of pressure made me realize how much further ahead of the Game I actually was. He applied adult life lessons to my childhood all the time. Not gone lie… I’m at my best when 💩 hits the fan. I shared this level of insight just to show we have been taught lessons with no reasoning most times. In order to have great discipline. Set small goals and build!!! Understand your weaknesses and work on them daily!!! Practice prioritizing the things you can’t live without versus what you want. Utilize what you want to remain motivated. It will take time but it’s attainable. Being the best you can be is considered being the best! Discipline ✌🏾

Refresh

What if I told you that I ran out of things to say? I’m sure, quite a few ppl would be appalled that I chose to withdraw from such a consistent platform. A routine that diminishes shakes up the whole operation. Sometimes its needed to refresh & contemplate on what truly matters to you.  For those of you that have no clue what they want out of life… it will be devastating.. for those that have something in mind, it is a perfect recipe to get you right on track. It is hard to refine your skills, lifestyle, and so forth without constantly going back to the drawing board in order to analyze your findings. A lot of this will probably go over ppl heads considering they never built structure around obtaining things they want out of life. No judgment on my part one bit.. I use to be that person. One thing I can assure you… you got to have some type of strategy to get from point A 👉 point B! Take time this week to refresh and study yourself, especially those who have a lot on their plate. My ❤ goes out to you folks that are going through it. You will live to see better days if you allow self to rest, reflect, and regroup. I’m in the trenches fighting right now & I be damned if I don’t make the best out of it. Be strong folks ✌🏾
