Before I get started let’s be clear…I am in no way shape or form, judging, or knocking anyone’s hustle . I’m not bitter about my position in comparison to others because I’m too busy focusing on my own grass . However, it was heavy on my spirit to say this :
Yes, everyone has a past and you had to do what you felt you had to in order to survive . Yes, you grind hard for yours and somehow some way you made it to the top True, you had to get a little “dirty” and broke a few rules, but now you got your money , fame , man , car , house , business, and stamps on your passport. Turned it all around and you are “clean” as you start a new path.
Yet the sad reality is people on the outside looking in your world , whether it be on social media , reality TV, or just word of mouth don’t know the ugly side of the game . The hell you had to go through to just get a piece of “heaven”. How no matter how things may appear your story isn’t over and tomorrow isn’t promised .
These followers have no clue what they are getting into. they’re signing up for some shit they just may not be built for. The probability of success in this game is lower than your chances of getting signed to the league . This isn’t a game of chess !! This is Russian roulette !!! And every move and risk you take is yet another spin and pull on that trigger. That’s what hurts me the most. But the harsh reality is ignorance is bliss and still to this day, no matter how high the body count,
AIDS rate,
constant reports of conspiracy that leads to incarceration,
suicides,
homicides,
broken homes,
treason,
homelessness,
STD,
malpractices,
the quiet loom of karma,
and many other vices of this game that people are well aware of , they are STILL willing to risk it “all” for a handful of fool’s gold.

Side note :This was one of my first blogs and due to that I feel it may have gotten a tad bit overshadowed . So I decided to exercise my right to repost. Lol
Values are principles and ideas that bring meaning to the seemingly mundane experience of life. A meaningful life that ultimately brings happiness and pride requires you to respond to temptations as well as challenges with honor, dignity, and courage.

This is true. It’s in transparency when other folks can see you for who you really are.

Great post!! I Love how authentic you are. It seems not many people value morality anymore. It’s more important to be popular than have a sense of self worth

No one knows your struggle but you and God. Even those closest to you in the flesh don’t know your heart — what hurts you and what heals you. Once we get our little peace of “heaven” on Earth, we must remember that everything belongs to God. If we’re not using it in a way that makes him smile. What’s the point of having it? Nice post.

So true. Life is all about choices. Every choice we make, whether good or bad, will in some way affect or shape our future.

Excellent! This is a big problem in our community and the media, reality tv shows don’t help any at all.

I feel you. That’s why I try to be as transparent as possible about my experiences. I know too many people that would call me out anyway, lol.

Haha! I’m all for exercising the right to re-post! Life is really about choices. When we make some that aren’t the best, you just gotta hope that you get a chance to make better choices.

I’m thankful for the way my morals are set up. They keep me from doing things I may regret in the name of making “it”.

I love this and the authenticity. I speak about transparency all the time and how we do a dissservice when we lack it. To ourselves and to others.

For a lot of people morals have gone out of fashion. Hopefully it will come back in style. We’ll all be better for it.
