Moment of Clarity
Wanting to be there for others, not give up on anyone too soon, forgive and forget, be gracious and humble... can work you into a corner. A corner where you become a prisoner of others expectations. The idea that you may be missing out on the opportunity on "what could be" becomes your motivation.
Having direction, being strong, knowing you can tackle any obstacle... can work you into a corner. A corner where any diversion from the plan becomes unacceptable and unfathomable and it becomes your motivation to do the opposite.
Graduating to not giving a fuck... breaks the bonds of those personal prisons and the prisons that we allow ourselves to be sucked into, that are built by others.
Freedom, is Amazing & Awesome.
No longer feeling stagnant not being ashamed of being strong and knowing you are destined for greatness. Having a clear vision of how you will get there and becoming confident that the diversions are all part of the plan.
No longer being concerned with the feelings of those who do not consider yours. Finally making options out of former priorities. Doing things in accordance to your needs and wants. Putting yourself and your well being first. Realizing that it's not always worth it, that if they were really worth the time, you wouldn't have to work so hard.
Knowing the only limits you have, the only walls to keep you trapped are the ones you allow to be built up around you, choosing not to sit in the back seat, but to take the wheel and make sure that you are the one driving, not sometimes, but all the time. Admitting that you are further along in realizing your potential, that you are smarter than most, better than all of the bs, and that your drive and ability will only scare the unworthy.
Never giving up the power, or allowing yourself to be in a position to be driven by the actions and the shortcomings of those bent on taking you down with them, but taking the higher road.
The satisfaction of being free...

Well I guess I should just be happy that black people weren't the only people complaining.
Where's The Chicken?!?
Where's The Chicken?!?
Moment of Clarity
This whole life thing IS ABOUT PROGRESS,
It's about making mistakes and learning from them,
It's about contributing something to this world instead of always taking,
It's about looking back and seeing where you've been and being proud of how far you've come.
If you're not making progress what are you in this for?
Are you just taking up space?
Fuck the haters,
And the fake people,
Fuck the people who doubt you,
It's NOT about them,
And in the words of Mary J. "they'll never be happy because they're not happy with themselves"...
What's your life about people?
How do you measure your happiness?
Is it by how much money you make?
How many hearts you break?
How much joy you steal from others?
Cause that damn sure is NOT what it's about...
"You can get the money, and you can get the power, but keep your eyes on the final hour" - Lauryn Hill
When you have to answer for your actions,
For what you did in this life,
Are you going to be able to say that you gave love,
That you put yourself second for the sake of someone else,
That you were decent, honest, and respectful,
That people knew what to expect from you and you played it straight.
No, you can never reach perfection, but that's why it's about the PROGRESS
WHAT IS YOUR LIFE ABOUT????
Because I'm all about living mine with:
Patience, for myself and others
Passion, in making my dreams realities and my goals accomplishments and
Purpose, because God didn't bless me and give me all of these gifts for nothing!
