Mind Body and Image Control
So one of the things that I love to do is learn. But let me take it back, way back. As a kid I hated school with a passion. I felt it was almost all pointless. Almost. Now fast forward to today. I still take a firm stance in it all being mostly pointless. What do they honestly teach you in school? Dont worry I'll wait. Better yet, let me rephrase that same question. How much of anything they taught you, do you apply to your daily life since you finished? Dont worry, I'm still waiting. What grade did you learn how to balance a checkbook? Before or after lunch period? Smh. The point is we, nor our children are ever seriously going to benefit from the modern day curriculum. Facts. Did you learn about saving money before or after you had experienced a crisis situation? Most of us learned the hard way. How many television programs do you see actually educating people how to budget and manage their lives and finances in order to survive? Tell me what channel its on so I can tune in. Last time I checked there are courses offered to show you how. Whats the drawback? Most want you to pay them to show you how. Soooo if I'm already struggling and in debt, how can I afford to pay somebody to teach me how to save money? Absurd aint it? Laymans terms, I accrue debt to learn how not to accrue debt. Oh how ironic. Now Im not gonna say you will never find someone to teach you free of charge. You can but chances are its rare. So what are your options at this point? Deal with it or take on more debt right? Wrong. Education is power. They didn't say that in school for no reason at all. It was one of those few things they actually taught that had value. Ask yourself, have you seen the last episode of LNHH? Who's ya favorite character on the show? Did you see Empire last week? Or maybe you caught the ending of Black Ink Crew Chicago. Can you tell me what all of them have in common that you dont share with them? Need a hint? You. Your interest and undivided attention. Your brain. Your money. How many people thought about going to Chicago just to go to 9 Mag and get tatted? Im not gonna lie because I did. They are artists and are good at what they do. What do they do? Run their own business. Thats what sets them and you apart. They have your attention every week just to show you how they live and how they carry themselves in public. And guess what, they get paid to do it. Relatively well might I add. All the while you sit and watch your dreams pass you by as you sit and wonder how you are gonna get your roof fixed because its supposed to be a bad winter this year. How many of you are actually following your dreams or are you just content with your 9-5? It took me a while to actually open my eyes but now I'm able to see the bigger picture. Dont let them brainwash and control you just for them to keep you rigjt where they want you. Below them and under their full control (dependency). Don't become another number to society. Be the one to break the cycle and do something for you and your lineage to follow in order for you to reap the benefits of your fruits and labor. Be the one to make change. Make a difference but also remembering where you started. Remain humble but share and give back in some way shape or form. Remember that education is power and anything that you set your mind for is achievable. Dont settle for less instead, strive for more.
