to a life which takes you nowhere. I am not speaking of the "street" lifestyle, I'm speaking more of a slave minded life. This year, at the age of 33, I made a commitment to being successful spiritually, financially and move away from negativity completely.

Last few years I have weeded out a lot of people that just don't get what their purpose is in life...I don't have the answers for them lol. This year, I cold turkey cut so many people out and feel so much more energized...I am totally committed to my success. I have always had the ability but never put it to the test....

I guess my point is we all possess the ability to be great and contribute to society in a positive way but don't ever come across our true potential because of our affiliations and feelings. emotions are so fukking useless in the human existence. I hope anyone reading this who is at a cross road in life, no matter the age, realize that cutting out negative people from your circle is not a sign of disloyalty but freedom, which will allow you to grow as a human being.

In conclusion, i'm reading too many posts on this site and others about how people are lost in life and are struggling to find a way to happiness....this by no means is the answer for all...but i hope ya'll all go out there and make a difference for yourself and families. It starts within...don't talk about change, be the change lol.

Saying Goodbye has never been easier for me.

I have best friends since middle school, love them like brothers, but I had to cut them off *cold turkey*, because they do not have the same vision in life.


I'm to the point now, where if you are a black man living in this world and you DON'T talk about business, you actually offend me.


Like, if you are a BLACK MAN and I say something about business to you, and you look at me like I have 3 heads, I feel you low key want me dead.


Imagine being on the plantation, and you telling 10 other motherfukkers you TIRED of getting whipped.... TIRED of being chained.... TIRED of sweating in the Sun.... TIRED of being called N*GGER....


"Let's run away!"


And a motherfukker DARE look at you like you crazy....?


I'm sure those runaways felt betrayed... Felt like their life isn't being protected by the brotherhood because the brotherhood is cowards.


This is the mentality you have to have today as a black man.


The only reason I still talk to any of my family is because their "family"... And I don't even really talk to them.


Everybody in this world wants financial independence, freedom, to have and own their own.... So if you WANT IT and don't CHASE IT, to me, that means you're a loser who will settle for less.


I just can't be around losers.



I've had my business mentality sense 19.... Some people get it sooner.... Some get it MUCH later....


I have a cousin who, 4 years ago, was telling me: "Man go to school!"... He was 34 then.


4 years later, he's telling me: "Man, fukk school! School aint nothing!" .... And he's reading all these business / investment books...


He's literally, literally not even the same person... He's more energized about business than ME at the moment, so I have to step my fukkin game up (energized, not motivated.... I'm always motivated but sometimes you just give out of gas).


He also, for the record, told me he made his transformation when he went to ATL, left his old friends / habbits behind, and he hasn't looked back sense.



Keep pushing... Keep going... Read some books... I can at least suggest Rich Dad Poor Dad.... And help keep the black race alive.


I'll end it with this: At the rate the black Race is going, and the fact that we can be overpowered militarily... Why the fukk would the whites and asians keep us around, if we're statistically bringing down the economy?


Why wouldn't they just say, "Let's cut this fukkin dead weight and kill em all or send em back into slavery"....


Sounds fukked up, right?


I don't see it as being an impossibility.


You've made your change, stick to it, and don't ever look back. 100

Agreed, only thing is I don't judge anyone else. That is the beauty of where my mindset is. Everyone has the right to live how they want, I just don't give 2 shyts about trying to tell them what time it is lol.

Props for you on realizing what has to be done to be successful and not being a complacent human being.

Other than cutting people off, what steps are you taking toward success? Cutting people off is the easy part...

Accepted responsibilities that I didn't want to believe were mine, finishing school soon with job offers that will change my tax bracket immensely. Thinking long term rather than short term...not being attached to materialistic things...wanting to start a family in the near future...being a role model for my nephew and nieces...

knowing in my heart that 5 years from now I will be heavily involved in real estate...OWNERSHIP and being able to pass wealth from generation to generation. It's all a mind state. Nothing is easy, NOTHING. But i'm so up for the challenge.

Oh not to forget, I get more of a thrill spending 8 hours in a library...studying, doing push ups, logging on to the coli instead of going out to eat with people who can't afford their own bill...

FREE WIFI at the library lol

More than likely, it's because they expect you to come at them with some MLM / Wakeupnow bullshyt.
Furthermore, why are you trying to talk 'business' to people you just met? If it was your friends / family blowing you off I could see it, but if anyone walks up to me off the street trying to talk about, "I've got a business proposition for you." you're getting laughed off without a second thought.

Yall cutting off day ones cuz they don't have the same goals
:wtf:

Yes if they are a negative impact to my state of mind. I had a friend for whom I almost went to war with the bloods back in 98 in Harlem. I use to give this friend my fresh Jays, I use to let him rock my fly gear I just copped last week...he didn't grow up with much, as a brother I hooked him up with whatever...you believe this guy stole 96 dollars from me...I would've gave him more, way more, all he had to do was ask.

it hurt my heart that this person who i brought into my crib, my mom loved this kid...he stole from me. so fukk day 1's. that shyt don't mean anything. sometimes people make the decision for you in regards to them being in your life...we just so use to some people's company that we forget how negative they are in your life. so fukk day 1's lol. i'm meeting people a few months ago who are doing more for me than many of my friends...

i cut off my ex and it hurt for a bit, but damn it feels good to not have her negative energy around me...i'm talking to a girl who is aiming to make 100k plus, i love that fact that she is ambitious and goal driven. my ex was driven by her negative tirades lol.

again, life is good. i just don't have time to enable day 1's because they feel i owe them allegiance because we met many years ago.

I can dig it. A group of about 15 of us grew up together but we cut it down to a core group of 6 that were likeminded. A couple are dead. A couple still locked up but we made a decision to cut the others off cuz of the negativity. We are all about our families and progress
