Things I learned before 26...
and especially during this glorious year called 25. Amen where necessary.
1. I hate the word "Grinding": Because most of us aren't. We waste too much time to grind. We look around too much. People who grind don't look around. Easily the most overused word in the English language.
2. Marriage is serious business: some ladies got the ring, some brothers are still saving for it, most folks are looking for someone to try it out with, but FEW people are MARRIED. Even some married folks are not in it to win it. How do you know if you are in it to win? Well, wait till you start losing...(also, being faithful is a good clue)
2a. Relationships are NOT serious business, until I start thinking about marriage.
3. Success is up to Me: This year I stopped pursuing my dream and started living it. Really there was no major breakthrough, just a change in consciousness. You too can be your own boss.
4. There's no such thing as "business never personal." I've learned that it's almost always personal and there's a lot of bad business going on out here.
5. Wearing tight pants looks ridiculous, even on my favorite personalities and artists. I don't want to hear that "style is individual" crap; everybody trying to be FRESH can end up pretty stale (c. Boss, Hilfiger, Coogi)
5a. Learn how to look good with no jewelry or brand names. THEN and only then, my child, have you found your STYLE (being broke and living with Dave taught me that)
6. Saying NO to Yourself is the key...to EVERYTHING.
7. A baseball season is 162 games. My team can lose 10 in a row and still win the division. Don't make a losing streak of mistakes turn into a losing season.
8. When the human body starts acting up, it's trying to tell us something. Listen up.
8a. Just learn how to sit down and shut up at least once a week.
9. Get Over Yourself. I tell myself this every day after saying peace to God.
10. Sometimes all it takes is an email or a phone call. For whatever the situation or anxiety. Clark and AllHipHop taught me that, and many other opps that I got by just saying "what's the worst that could happen?"
...I thought I'd share, because these are the big lessons I'm learning daily. Far from comprehensive, Never forget it. God is still speaking to us (even when we are ever so negligent). Commentary.
