Planting Correct Seeds

Repost: Monica Regina Jones

Just a thought: We must be careful of the seeds we plant, because we're going to have to eat the fruit of that harvest when it springs forth. As long as the Earth remains, there shall be seedtime and harvest. 

If I’m In Leadership

If I’m ever promoted to leadership in my company, trust…I’m crushing everything in my path. What do I mean? My staff will have MY permission to call me out (respectfully) if I gave them wrong procedures in their job. I’m not holding my staff accountable for MY mistakes as a leader.

Employee Conflict: Work out issues with each other before getting me involved. Even if staff members agree to disagree, that’s fine. If adults, professionals…can’t solve conflict without management interference, something’s wrong. Companies are doing their employees a disservice by meddling in employee conflicts because they’re crippling their staff by making them dependent on leadership to fix their issue(s). Leaders spend too much time babysitting overgrown children who can’t solve conflicts without running to the supervisor/manager. If you bring me problems, you better have solutions.

Suggestions: Employees know their jobs better than management. How many managers could do their staff’s jobs daily?👀👀👀👀I’ll wait…🥱If employees know their jobs, that means they have a better idea of what’s not working & what could work better in their position. Any suggestions brought to me with a logical proposal will be escalated to executive leadership. I’ll go further and have the staff member present their idea to senior management.☺️Your idea, YOU get the credit, and present to executive management.🙂 

Throwback Message: I’m Sorry For Being Blessed

 One thing I won’t do is apologize for being blessed. I will remain humble through my blessings, but apologizing for them....negative.😎👊🏾 It’s crazy to me that some people dumb their blessings down not to offend others. If others are offended at you being blessed, they can take it up with God! I’m big on humility because everything I will accomplish in life is because of God. I can’t & won’t take credit for any success.

Reasons Why The Black Community Will NEVER Thrive

This message may be harsh, but it needs to be said:

Reasons Why the Black Community will NEVER prosper (Disclaimer: I don’t want to hear 💩 about “other races”)

1. Jealousy-Some of us don’t trust each other, let alone work together. Other races & ethnic groups have came over & surpassed blacks, and here we are…still fighting among each other. Honestly, I don’t go to any majority black events because 95% of them end in gunplay or fighting.

2. Infrastructure-How many black neighborhoods are drug & violence-free? I’ll wait…There’s a reason why gentrification hits black communities first.

The only way for the black community to survive is Divide & Thrive: The reprobate blacks have their own world to destroy themselves, and the blacks who want to build together have their own community.🤷🏾‍♂️

A Story Of Karma

 Repost: John King Johnson

TLDR: you won't be young forever, and eventually time will make you pay for your mistreatment of people.

I got a call a little while ago from someone I used to be in a band with. We talked music for a little bit, and then they got right to the point and asked me to donate to a GoFundMe for their aunt.

The aunt in question is one of the meanest, vile, messy, human females I know. She delights in using her age as leverage to be insanely disrespectful. She's not dead she just had a stroke. Her family isn't taking her in... She'll be going to a state home.

I've had two distinct interactions with this woman myself, and both were so bad, that I often reference one of those situations as me ever experiencing the urge to violently beat on a woman which is rare for me. This woman has broken up so many marriages, and unlike a very sneaky antagonistic woman would be about that? She will openly tell you she did these things with Glee. 

She beats children, she targets men to disrespect especially. I would almost say her disrespect of men is like a fetish. It gets her smelly old dry wrinkled hairy monkey wet.

I chose to keep it respectful and just politely declined to donate to any funds that would benefit this woman. What my bandmate said to me is profound:

"John, I'm really not surprised that you refused. To be real, I just called you to ask because I was asked to and I didn't want to lie and say I did. I'm not donating either. We ain't gotta lie to each other, we both know that my auntie is a horrible person. And at the end of the month they're going to stick her in the state home. The kicker is all her kids have space to house her they just won't. Instead they made the GoFundMe."

It is a powerful statement to the life you've lead. That your children, and your family will not house you once you become old and disabled. That sends a very strong message that you are so insufferable, that they are not willing to have you under the same roof with them. These are the things you should think about as you go through life stepping on people especially your own relatives.

A few of you might know her on here and I do not care if you tell people what happened. Cuz I don't like her, and most of the people I know that know this woman don't like her either. And I will also say I had a big stupid grin on my face when I hung up the phone. How funny is it, that a woman who gleefully insults people and their spouses and children? Ends up having a stroke, that paralyzes her right arm and her ability to speak? How often has that right hand went across somebody's face? And that mouth said something that no one could get over?

You may think you are big and bad, but time is bigger and always patient.

I want to add that Karma…is giving her the blues. You reap what you sow. This lady has sown disrespect & hate to people, and her own family doesn’t want to care for her, so they let her go to a state home. I can’t say I blame them, because honestly…I would consider doing the same because if you’ve been hateful all your life, chances are you’ll die that way.
