POST-18: “✍🏾Writing Is Therapy”.
Today I journaled, and it’s been a very long time since I’ve done that before. I’m not sure what to say about it, really… Should I be happy, proud, or upset that I even needed to use this modality to vent???...After all the progress I've made so far?..🧠🤔
Well, I haven’t dropped a blog post here, for you in a while. So, I think it was a good thing. 🙂 Maybe That moment, (paired with several, positive incidents thereafter) helped motivate me to write this for you today, which Is a good thing.
I wonder if that’s all it takes?..🤔 Certainly, procrastination is nowhere near the top of my list, when it comes to things that take away from me adding value to my friends, supporters, and Business endeavors. I absolutely Love doing those things!.. It's my purpose!..But where’s the drive coming from? Where is the motivation?? You ever feel like sometimes, you have it by the 🤬, gripped really tight, and ready to go? Only to have that magical Ether 🪄, quickly escape your palms. Like the feeling you get, holding onto fresh, caught fish in the wild 🐠?
***They're slippery, by the way***
My seasoned pros. know exactly what I mean when I say: “ u wait first for divine interventions before making any moves”.
It’s just the wise thing to do!
If there’s one thing I advice myself and others to do (being the one who’s suffered thru a lot over the years, running thru the many, burning 🥵 buildings in life) Is this:
“Do not be your own, worst enemy. And as much as possible, Practice with patience”. This advice is both tricky, and frustrating alike. Full-Disclaimer: I am no Buddha, and can only hope to be, “Monk-Like”. 💆🏾♂️ But when studying the greats of our pasts and present, all signs point- first to: Caution, over Initiation.
Our Thoughts are no longer the same, and communication-continues to rapidly change.
Remaining nimble, and adaptable will always be the motive to success. However, information has changed like never before! Now More than ever, we are in a time where Creation is at it’s highest peak. ..Fewer institutions are looking at the option of “Revamping old systems” in order to adapt to the current climates. Instead, ppl are being charged with completely, starting a new.
This is a rare time indeed. Some analysts will say it isn’t, however. Saying we’ve seen this all before, with the expansion towards the West. 🚂 Locomotives and 🚗 Automobiles… Transportation and communication being forged over miles of asphalt highways, and now the InterneInterne…What a time to be alive, right??
Wrong! (Some will say)
We are currently steeped in an economic-recession. That (although usually happens in cycles), has been progressively bubbling from years of BS spending, and poor decisions made over the decades in time. Worse over, This go round, we can’t dig ourselves out with the same tools and shovels from before.
Instead, we use what works: American resolve and ingenuity. 💡 Paired with good faith --in action…sadly, Something we too have lost throughout Time as well. 😔
Civil-unrest continues to exist... Crime and systematic oppression are at an all time high, and Yet, we the people are expected to boot strap 👢 ourselves ahead, once again.
I’m sorry, but “I’s tired”! 😩… It’s not enough to be a Creator, Entrepreneur, Motivator, and Friend. But to be a single Man desiring the American dream like everyone else?... That’s a tall-order, fam.
Sure, I’ve had the conversation with God about taking this cup away, but apparently he still believes in me to wake me up each day. If I’m being quite honest, The whole day wasn’t too bad.
In fact, despite my sometimes, highs and lows, today was pretty successful. 😁 The problem in this, is understanding His timeline and matching wisdom to present day occurrences...
Raise your hand,🙋🏼♀️🙋♂️ 🙋🏾♂️( if barely), u just caught your 😤Emotional wind 🌬️ back from the roller coaster years of the Donald Trump era, ✊🏾black lives matter, and COVID-19 🦠 (back to- back to -freaking back!) 🥵… Only to have more shootings, in more schools, with more leadership failures Around the world 🌎. Oh, and how about we toss in an international debacle while we’re at it? 😔 #PrayForUK🙏
Where’s the emotional back up, let alone relief payments?!... And still we PERSEVERE… ❤️🙏🫂💪🏾. Perhaps our grandparents knew better… a trying time of a depression and WORLD WARS 🪖, followed by a fairy tale decade (or so) of innovation and progress.🕺🏽💃 Yeah… that would be nice 🙂...
Maybe just a little bit of certainty?… some GUARANTEE? Some light 🕯️ at the end of the tunnel, perhaps?🤷🏾♂️… Idk.
My hopes and prayers are for the youth... That you may one day come into a world paved by blood, sweat, and tears. Proud, to be an American adult carrying the torch of your present day ancestors. Making the most of what we've tried to accomplish.
Shunning, and avoiding the apathy that still exists Today. Only to “prove your point”, that love still exists, ❤️and fairness should be equally-distributed to all makind...We're counting on you 😉👍.
To my Leaders: May you be blessed in these times ahead…🙏 To have wealth, patience, and wisdom, as you manage the fruits of your labor...In a world that oftentimes was unapologetic, and unsupportive, at Best…
May God keep you, And defend us all in Battle.
To my weary ones, 🫂I'm with you.
Don't forget!.. Hope and prayer is more powerful than you think.
If it worked back then, it can work for us now.
This was just #AnotherFormOfTherapy.
Remember: abundance is the mindset, so let us live with clear eyes… If thinking thru prayer isn't working for you right now, Try jotting down your thoughts as well.. He hears it.
Make some time to go outside and release your positive energy in the world. 🌞.. Work with professionals that care, 👨🏾💼👩🏾⚕️and make the Best with what ever it is you have 👨🏾🍳 because So many more, have far much less.
#PerseveranceAndGrowth 🔥❤️💪🏾
Good night!
