Classic thread lets revive it. I needa get back to reading, and applying tho.
Everything learnt isnt going to help if you dont do it. Action.
Write everything down in a journal, your goals, your thoughts, everything. Write it all in before night time, read it back to yourself in the morning.
Get a White/Blackboard and write down your goals and put it somewhere you see everyday, just to had it in the back of your mind what your doing all this for.
Read Books! Your Brain is the most powerful part of you, Its not cool being a dumb nikka, regardless of your situation, you can go to the public library and read and learn or if you have internet and a phone or laptop etc. you can get damn near any book you want online for free. Just go to google, insert name of book and author and put .pdf after then you should be good.
You can control what you choose to do at anytime in life. Tired of your town? Pick up what you need and move. Boss being a bytch, hold your tongue or light his ass up and walk out of that slave ass job. ex. I worked at a warehouse job, temp but could have been permanent position, with raise and health care all that good stuff. Pay was reasonable, but doing the same shyt daily just being a robot, I didnt want to do that, plus nikkas was hatin. put them on blast and said fukk this job im out, meet in the restroom if yall wanna throw hands. It just one example of something that showed me that i can do whatever i want to do when i want to. I need to learn to control my anger, but at times its just necessary. Got a better job and better pay now too.
Always try to have a positive mind set though, if you keep thinking of the past and being worried about your future, it wont help, it'll just keep subtracting the positive from what you gain.
Life is always going to balance out. Everything in life is a cycle, we are born, then we live,then we die. We go right back into the world that made us.
Same thing while living life, You're going to go through hell to experience what happiness truly is.
Try to find Peace within yourself. I know alot of people be going through shyt in life and no matter what, dont compare your situation to anybody elses, because we all live different lives, we all been through different living situations and nobody will ever know what you have ever went through or are going through. You will make it through the rainy dark days, and you will see that Beautiful sun rise, just move one step at a time.
One more, Meditate and Exercise also Yoga. It'll improve your health of body and mind. I always thought Yoga was for women but tried it cuz i was doing p90x. Yoga will teach you about muscles you never knew you had, that pain is soothing lol
Good luck on all yalls journey in life, ever need anything hit me up and I'll try to give my Moneys worth cuz 2 cents wont help to much.
