Due to current events I've found myself reflecting on the changes that I've endured this year and I've realised how drastic they have been. I started off the year working in an environment I definitely didn't want to be in and I got out. I moved country to be of assistance in a manner that's long overdue. I started sharing my talents with the world. I walked the unfamiliar lines of unemployment and motivated myself to really hustle again. I have become more open to expressing emotions and I've been slowly working on goals I WILL achieve by the end of the year. All this within the first half of the year - makes me excited about what the remainder of the year has to offer and really smashing my goals.
Inner growth matters greatly to me. I find that a lot of people (especially when having a friendly meet up after a long period of time) want to hear about the material shit you've obtained or a fancy job title you now carry with pride and that's fine but if I don't feel that I've progressed physically, mentally and spiritually then I don't give a fuck about the riches I've obtained. I need internal progression to be my primary focus because at this point in my life, self growth, great health and peace of mind is what I truly seek and hope to maintain once acquired till the end of one's life.
I've been listening to couple tracks off Lauryn's Hill Miseducation album and 3 song titles really stand out: "Tell him", "Final hour" and "Lost ones". Now the thing about me is I pay too much attention to signs and interpreting various meanings. These titles are telling me that the universe wants to tell me to treat every hour as though it's my last and even if I lose one fight along the way bare in mind I'm fighting a war, there's plenty more fights ahead, so don't dwell on the past, simply learn from it with the intention to excel. So I want you to know that regardless of how much you are belittled by society or how many fights you've lost, or how many things you are dissatisfied with in your life, THINGS WILL CHANGE! However, if you want to see a specific change the effort has to be made on your end. It's sort of like working out, if you're attending the gym and doing every workout apart from abs exercises you can expect to receive a slim physique but not the abs you truly desire. No matter how much this world batters away at your image and it will (whether through ageing or the cruelty of your surroundings/upbringing), it's up to you to ensure that the person inside does not become an enemy. Train yourself mentally, physically, spiritually and so forth to be a fan of self-love and self admiration. Steer your path down roads that will make your character stronger and will shape you into the character you want to become. Ensure you become your biggest fan if you're not already!
This world has a tendency to make people feel undeserving of the very best, I hope you don't allow it to make you feel that way BECAUSE YOU ARE! It's ok to be misunderstood by many just make sure that the vessel you see in the mirror is perfectly aware of that powerful soul within and confident enough to possess and exert greatness in a humble fashion everyday. Also, ensure that when you reflect on the changes you've encountered you revel in the joy of knowing that you made those changes manifest, in turn bettering your character. Also, take note of how many situations you've overcame especially when you faced circumstances you deemed impossible to escape. If you were taught that for whatever reason (appearance, talent experience, location, history, etc) your success will be limited then you've been misinformed, YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING with practice and logic... MAKE IT HAPPEN, don't let MISEDUCATION triump. YOU'RE GREATNESS PERSONIFIED - PERIOD!
