Most of us come from hard starts. We have rough childhoods that cause us to create rough adulthoods, and so most of us are stuck in the hood. And we all know the hood ain’t pretty. The hood can humble you... But the hood can humble you if you let it. The hood can teache you how to fend for yourself. The hood gives you stories to learn from if you’re willing to do the work. But to learn is a choice, isn't it? Just like it’s a choice to wake up and brush your teeth... To read and to empower yourself with good news. Every day we wake up with choices. We can choose to let our current reality keep us stuck. We can choose to be a victim. We can choose to stay a hood rat and let the other rats keep us trapped. Or we can choose to practice the art of self-mastery... We can choose to rise above what keeps us stuck no matter what. We can do whatever it takes and create a vision for yourself that’s so audacious it feels impossible, and aim for that. And every day wake up and invest in that. Invest in your craft. Invest in yourself. Invest in feeling good. And let humility, and work ethic lead you to higher grounds. Believe it’s possible or don’t believe, you choose what to believe and beliefs create your reality. That is all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.... Good day.
