The cop blocked me in. He didn’t want to move, wanted to share some words with me. I just wasn’t in the mood. He said, did you know this is a one way, right after I said good evening and excuse me. I proceeded to say I am try to park, he didn’t the sauce, he drove right off.
Lesson: Don’t block the entrance of my parking. Just kindly move and adjust. The interaction was mid, just as much. Life goes on.
Timing and ability are luxuries in life. They don’t always come by often, but when you have a good chance and they both a making together, make more of what you love. Do it when you are able.
Each month has been teaching me new lessons. I feel equipped with the knowledge and wisdom with every improvement I have been making. It’s not easy, it’s not always the most fun. I like the pressure, I embrace it, as I won’t ever go back or forget the past pressures.
Evolving and giving grace and appreciation for every level gained, big or small, is truly growth. Some days I feel I am just keeping up, but I am actually living in the present and growing without a limit or cap.
So after an enlightened few days, I am happy and content in myself. I love my direction and vision.
I wasn’t a believer at first, But became well versed, When I escaped a path that was good, But certainly got worse, It felt like a curse, Living the life of bad mind, And the rat race, Working a 9-5, On full throttle, With no brakes,
These garbage ass distractions, The corrupted manipulation, More than just mere occasions, It’s everywhere, The world forcing us, To give in, Everyday, Day in and day out, Clouding our judgment, And worth, Birthing new norms, We never consented on,
Until we rip up these contracts, Being high off a little bit of contact, Of how freedom feels, Reading a book, Going for walks, Have real talks, With people that’s not mean, Paying off debts, Cashing higher checks, Investing into our dreams, Seeing a new baby laugh, Family dinners well planned, Is more reality than a dream,
How to believe is seeing the end goal, To believe is going tunnel vision, To the end zone, Touchdown, The essence of feeling free, You got to believe, Put the work in, Don’t stop, Until what they selling stay fake, But out of your face, All you see is what’s real, You happy, In control, With Memories, To celebrate with your team.
Believe, believe, and believe! You can be free and will be.

The question is why are you afraid? You have to be brave to make changes and strides in your life. It’s the ones that hide behind a zodiac sign, or the why I can’t, rather than the what I will have to do to make it possible. It’s also the ones that claims they are an introvert, or the world has always not liked them.
To be honest, I can say this, yes they are right, and also totally wrong. Change comes from within, the power of choice and change can happen. Find someone or something to believe in that can change your path, and stay prayed up. Believe in higher and bigger in your life.
Let the wind guides your thoughts, let them flow likes leaves falling to the ground. The world will open up to hear the words you were meant to say in silence.
HAIKU
Worry less, breathe deep, Leaves fall without asking why, Wind cradles their peace.

Showed up to the venue, ready to lift, Working hard in the gym to elevate my gift, I am firm on business & staying ten toes down, I try my best to smile & not lead with a frown.
