Going Hard For What Matters

I'm a firm believer in that people only do their best at things they truly enjoy. It is difficult to excel at something you don't enjoy. Think about it, why would you give your all to something (or someone) you aren't passionate about? Doesn't make sense. The energy spent towards meaningless requests could be energy spent going after what's important to you. I'm the kind of person that I put my all into things I'm passionate about. It doesn't mean I won't become weary, it means I need to refuel from time to time so I can keep pushing towards what I want. Everyone is like this, but I make no apologies for being this way. Why would I? I have a passion for something and I will put my all into it. Period. I don't want to have any regrets like some people. I see some people who are on their death beds with a lot of regrets about not focusing on what matters and while I do feel bad for them, I also have to think did they have a clear vision? Were they willing to say no to unnecessary things. Chances are, the answer is no. You have to do what's best for you, even if it means others may not understand your rationale. It's not for others to understand why you focus on important matters. That's called efficiency, focusing on what counts. I feel if people focused more on what matters than trivial things, they would get further in life. Look at the most successful people, they got where they are because they focused on what mattered (and still do). They didn't waste time on trivial pursuits, they had a clear focus of what they wanted to accomplish and went hard for what matters.

Call & Response

Today's commentary is going to be a little different. From time to time I'll do call and response segments where I issue random call outs most people are likely to say and post my response. This should be fun so without further ado, let's go.

1. Woman: I want a Barack & Michelle relationship!

Me: You're a hoe, you'll never have a Barack & Michelle relationship because you'll always be viewed as a piece of meat to most men.

2. I Want The Truth

Me: Most people want the truth, until they get it and catch feelings because it wasn't watered down.

3. If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best

Me: Try that on someone with a GED because no discerned (wo)man is going for that.

4. I'm A Good Man/Woman

Me: Keep Telling Yourself That. That's what most people say when they want to compensate for their flaws.

5. I want a man/woman that will let me rip & run the streets, talk crazy to him/her and not control me.

Me: Basically you want a spineless mate because you can't handle someone that will put you in your place if you get out of order.

6. I'm A Queen

Me: Since when did queens become ratchet? Start acting belligerent. If that's a queen, then I don't want one.

7. Behind every good man is a good woman and behind every bad woman is a bad man

Me: Why is it that when a man is great, a great woman is behind him but when the man is foul, it's all on him?

8. Free My N***a (insert name here)

Me: What did he do? Response: Shot 12 people (all but 1 died) and raped 3 children in the hood. Oh...throw him UNDER the jail.

9. A sugarcoated truth is not the truth, it's a falsity.

Me: True Talk, people want to put their own truth on things instead of taking truth as it comes.

10. Not all people are this, that & the third

Me: When you have a majority who display contrary conduct, that's what you are judged on. It's not right, but that's what it is.
