One of the greatest lessons I learned is that it is okay to do the things you fear. Life is all about taking leaps and doing what may scare you but that leap of faith into the unknown may make all the difference and give your life the meaning that you seek.
There is a Jay-Z quote that has meant so much to me lately, it goes,
“So they made light of, my type a dreams seem dumb
They said wise up, how many guys a you see making it from here, The world don’t like us, is that not clear, alright but,
I’m different, I can’t base what I’m gonna be off a what everybody isn’t,
They don’t listen, just whispering behind my back,
No vision, lack of ambition, So wack!”
Some of the people I know can’t see my vision for my dreams because they dream so small. It’s sad to feel like members aren’t on the same page as me but c’est la vie. I still must continue to move towards my dreams. Recently I was at a political event and it was great to be around like minded people. It really helped me remember that my dreams can come true and that those that don’t want me to do well are just jealous. I am just happy that I am blessed with others around me that want to see me do well. Family doesn’t have to be those with the same bloodline just those that have your back and only want the best for you. I have many mentors and gain my inspiration from many places. I am thankful for the love and positivity that counters the negativity.
