It takes a tremendous amount of WORK to EVOLVE.
To clear the clutter in your mind and life.
To stay focused and keep striving when the world conditions you to be the same.
When they rely on it because it’s the Blueprint and the standard they measure their own lives by.
It’s an arduous task being a leader by example.
My Father used to tell me “there will never be a Black President unless it’s YOU”
That’s a confidence building premonition yet the heaviness of that statement was always sobering.
My Father was born to a Mother that made sure she was ALWAYS there for ME. I know the DEPTH of it Nana. It sustains me. I will raise my Grandchildren in your image.
I’m learning to feed people with long handed spoons and not answer to every dog’s bark
I’m not going to allow anything to stunt my growth. Or belittle the strides I’ve made. I am the Victor not a victim.
I’ve stopped giving “exit interviews” I have stopped carrying burdens that are not mine to bear. I wake up Thanking God for the gift of TODAY.
I go to sleep knowing I tried my best AND that’s ALL I can do.
Each new day is another opportunity to design the life you want.
