We live in a fast-paced society but always hear “Life is short…”, but
what we do with it and how we spend our time makes all the difference in our
future. Finding yourself on the wrong side of the tracks or going into an early
grave is not a good look.
ALL THAT GLITTERS AIN'T GOLD
**********************
We see many artists, entertainers, and idols flaunt their lavish
lifestyle via television, music or social media platforms. I’ll admit, ballin’
out is very enticing and many want to ‘represent or be about that life’ also….
minus the millions of dollars in many bank accounts. They say, “It’s not
trickin’ if you got it” so to each its’ own but don’t try to keep up with the
Jones, Kardashians or anyone else if you can’t afford to.
Designer brands/style, the hottest
cars and phones may be new one minute and considered old in a year or
two with an updated version. Focus on your book smarts and less on plastic
surgery to imitate the celebrity-style you’re eagerly seeking. What is your real
goal here? To impress, to be popular, to hold on to a boy/girl that you're
sooo in love with…or so you think?! That boy or girl will be there, stay strong
and don’t cheat your youth just to hurry to adult hood.
At some point we all want independence but, if your story reads like
front page negative news, or you-should-have-your-own-ratchet-reality-show
storyline, then fine-tuning your priorities may not be a bad idea. It’s
not cool to be out of control, drugged-out, disrespectful to parents (or other
authorities) - missing guidance, etc. Another mother shouldn’t have to lose her
child to the streets or senseless acts caused by police brutality, or hatred in
the world.
THERE’S LIGHT AT THE END OF THE
TUNNEL**************
Slow down you’re moving too fast, pace yourself and find your rhythm. The
world is yours and you’ll get where you need to go in due time. Play your
position by educating yourself, and surround yourself with the right people. Be
a respectable reliable force others can see in your bright future. What seeds you
plant today will flourish tomorrow, be it good or bad. So keep your eye on the
prize.
· -Celebrate more
birthdays, have fun but grow wiser.
· -Achieve great
things as you make your mark in the world, putting forth the effort can be very
rewarding.
First rule of business, stay in school, get your diploma….hey go for a
degree or two. Whether via interning or a job, show responsibility, work ethic
and leadership skills. Aim for advancement, if you have a passion for
something, truly go after it. Create your own lane and soar high.
“School just isn’t my thing” or “I’m not interested in being an
entrepreneur”, yeah I get it but, are you happy with your 9 to 5 job, if you have
one? Maybe you have goals and dreams, and if so, education will play an
important role in your upcoming moves so, plan it out. Don’t allow fear to take
over decisions that could be life-changing for you. Everyone have a talent
they’re good at, or passion for something so find what it is and onward march! Young
world, do you know where you’re running to? Expecting success when everyone
else is expecting failure is a sign of a visionary. Seeing things no one else
can yet see sounds like a BOSS to me! Stay motivated, you can do it….let’s go! Xo
