You ever feel unfukkwitable, like you on a roll and nothing to slow you down. Then you get some news, some shyt happens, someone does you wrong etc and your literally stuck with the :wow: face/emotion. Its all about perspective and how you react to whatever the situation may be. Old dude once told me see everyone you meet as a teacher or friendly adversary who by their actions/inactions is helping you improve and grow on this journey. You take that "loss" and turn into a lesson and you laugh it off as life playing a trick on you and you move on wiser, stronger and more appreciative that you had the opportunity to go through that lesson and came out a better person.

Growth entails little failures on the journey to become the best versions of ourselves. Long as we stay focused, humble and have a sense of humor/appreciate that we can only control our actions we can never truly lose because we view every situation as a lesson that was placed in our way to promote our growth.

Man, I had a nice crib outside of the city, a ride that was paid for, no bills, and a nice cushy lil job just 1 year ago. I used to treat people like that scrooge mcduck gif.

Now I'm unloading trucks early in the morning for 8 dollars an hour 3 days a week. I'd commit that...but bullets are too expensive :damn:

I'm of the mentality that things happen (or don't) for a reason. I used to ask myself why I went through certain things in my life, but looking back, it made me stronger and wiser.

Everybody has to take an L every once in a while, but I just look at everything as a learning experience instead of a hindrance. I've made a lot of mistakes of course, but there's that old saying "Every master was once a disaster". Also, "no problem is born without a solution."

I find it hard to keep balance in this field. When your winning its really hard to stay humble and its scary because you could be one loss away from a downfall.

The piece of advice I always try to give myself is to never get too high or too low because all wins and loses are temporary.

I consider myself to be a humble person, never brag about things I have/gained, etc. cause I feel like it can be taken away on a dime. Sometimes you have to be careful though, because being humble can come off as also being snooty.

On the flipside, there's nothing worse than being surrounded by non-humble/arrogant/cocky motherfukkers. You feel like you now have to become one temporarily just to match with them; otherwise, it's almost like you "seem" weaker, whether true or not.

All you can do is live and be happy, people will create their own views about you regardless if they're right or wrong. fukk em.
