Episode 47 | Appreciate Your Position, While Plotting Your Promotion...

If You Could Speak To Yourself Just A Year Ago, What Life Changing Information Would You Share With Yung You From 2020? My Lil’ Brother CJ Has Made A Habit Of Providing Perspective In Rather Key Times Of My Developmental Years, While Also Managing To Be A Constant Source Of Motivation And Some Much Needed Encouragement... Having Been Hard At Work To Establish Ourselves As Professional Creatives Over The Past Few Years, We’d Grown Apart Due To The Physical Distance That Was Between Us, Yet I Was Still Able To Tap Into Lil’ Bro For That Perspective, Motivation & Encouragement Over The Years. Since We’ve Recently Reunited Through His Relocation Back Home To PTA, I’ve Been Able To Learn So Much In Such A Short Span Of Time... Appreciating That Position In Time Has Allowed Us Both To Grow Even Closer To Who We May Be, Which Has Been Truly Beautiful To See And Experience.

A Year Ago Today, I Was Still Tryna Pick Up The Pieces Of Some Broken Dreams, That Were Shattered By Almost A Decade Of Bad Decision’s Emanating From A Misguidedly Controlling Degree Of Self-Doubt & Overall Destructiveness. Learning How To Be Grateful, In Some Of The Most Inhumane Situations, Conditions & Times Can Do Wonders For Your Present And Your Future, I’m Living Proof Of That. A Year Ago, I Started To Repeat A Quote That Had Kept Me Going Through The Trap Years, One That Would Keep Me Going Throughout 2020... “Appreciate Your Position, While Plotting Your Promotion.” That Bar From The OG Uncle Jalen Rose Has Helped Me Get To Where I Am Today, Despite Having Taken The Road Less Travelled And Valiantly Fighting To Overcome All The Obstacles That One Finds Along The Way. Gratitude Gave Me An Opportunity To Receive More Than What I Was Asking For / Working Towards At The Time, Giving Me Even More To Be Grateful For, Which Is Pure Proof Of How Mercifully God Loves Us All.

Like Nas Said, “God Loves Us Hood Niggaz!”, Show Love & Spread Love! ️

Let’s Appreciate What We Have, While Working Towards What We’ve Prayer For, God Got Us! Our Ancestors Got Us!
