This is easily my new favourite quote of all time (a bit of an exaggeration, "Hakuna Matata" is still near and dear to my heart) "Don't get mad, get better". I first read it on my boy Ill's blog (http://illdapoe.blogspot.com/) and immediately could not stop using for EVERYTHING. Im not gonna lie, I wish I made it up cause I feel so obligated to make sure I "pay royalties" for usin it (shout out to Will) and thats jus gonna make my stuff longer every time.
Shameless promotion aside, this quote really speaks to me simply because its been the way that I've lived my life for as long as I can remember. As athletically gifted as I am, there are others who are more gifted and who have a more varied skill set (see my boy BG) and after continually being subject to loss after loss after loss (after loss) I was aware I couldnt get mad at him for simply being naturally better at stuff than I. So with all that in mind, I decided that I was goin to bridge the gap on my own and send some losses back his way. Now of course this wasnt an easy process and essentially involved me making sure that I took the natural talents that I had/have and maximized them by honing and cultivating them like a plant (venus fly-trap preferrably cause I was out to kill niggas) but I was able to even out our overall records some and I feel like Im no longer in his shadow.
In terms of being the person that I am, Ive never been 1 to be upset if someone were to dislike me or "hate"on me because I know that sadly, people are dumb and I cant control them but I can control me so Imma be the best me I can be and at the end of the day I wont owe anyone anything and I'll kno that I did all that *I* could possibly do.
That leads us to the meat of this here post. The part where I hold the mirror up to you the reader so as to expand your thought process. Now when rethinking a situation do you focus on what was done to you and not acknowledge your part in the process? Most of you will naturally answer "no" and thats because a good percentage of you are liars (no offence). By that I mean that you may honestly believe that you do but arent fully truthful with yourself and I get that cause its a scary ass thing to do but if I didnt at least try to show you people yourselves Id be quite the irresponsible blogger now wouldnt I? So whether or not your on board and consider me a visionary (your not the first) or you vehemently disagree and think Im a braying jackass (again not the first) the thing to remember is dont get mad, get better!
