April 13, 2015-Drop.
It’s time
for us to “drop the act” and just be
ourselves. I know for the past couple of blogs I have been driving this point
home and it is because I am tired of seeing people make excuses for themselves. I find myself if I am dating someone or hanging
out with some friends that I say the words “sorry” all of the damn time! Why?!
Why should I apologize for just being me? Simple test: check yourself every time
you say “sorry”. You will be so surprised how much we say it.
It is time
to drop that shit. Excuse my language but come on people! We are all getting
older and we need to start surrounding ourselves with the people who will be
riding on our journeys with us. Not the fly bys or “leaves of the changing seasons”, but the people you want to look back on and see the lineage and
the growth with. And if there aren't any right now then that is fine.
Drop the bad habits: if you don’t want
things to go one way then figure out how to have it go another way! If someone doesn’t treat you right or treat
you how you deserve to be treated---drop that s**t! I am so serious! If your
career isn’t progressing along the way you want or you keep getting rejected,
then change up your process and DROP the old way!
That is
the approach I had to take and believe me, it is finally taking off and
working. I dropped a lot of people and things I didn’t necessarily need and
keep it moving. Sounds harsh but the truth of the matter is: Life waits for no one. You get up every day, so please make something out of it. I found myself
harping on the things I have done in the past. It was like a horror movie playing over
and over again on repeat. And every night and every morning I would look into
the mirror and just see pain. I would see the pain. I would see an ordinary
person with drive and hurt behind their eyes. And I got tired of seeing that. I
had to accept that we all make mistakes. We drive people out, we hurt people,
we miss out on great opportunities—shoot we even hurt ourselves but we have to
learn to DROP the past and PICK UP yourself for the future.
Some
people call it “righting your wrongs”…I just call it “living”. Believe me, if I
could apologize and take back all the hurtful things I have done to myself and
to others I would…but you must learn to forgive yourself. You can’t speak for
no one else but yourself.
