Perseverance

“I feel I know a little bit of everything but I’ve grown unfamiliar with limitations…”

Wale is one of my favorite young hip-hop artists because of his inspirational and motivational messages in his music.  This except is from the intro off his latest mixtape “Eleven One Eleven Theory” that he released as a precursor to his 2nd studio album “Ambition” is released November 1, 2011 (Hence “Eleven One Eleven Theory”).  Now to the topic at hand: people always tell you that you can do this but you can’t do that.  Or you may have someone tell you that you doing too much at times.  But many times people attempt to place the limitations of others on you and as with everything limitations aren’t the same for everybody.  This excerpt I derived from Wale really registered with me.  I am on the brink of taking on quite a few new challenges and becoming “unfamiliar with limitations” is the only way I am going to meet these challenges and accomplish my goals.  YP’s identify your limitations and work on reducing/overcoming your limitations then get rid of them all together.  See you guys and girls in Successville minus the limitations of course…

Tired Of…

by JimH on 08/01/2011

in YP Guest Blogs

Life can be as hard as you make it at times. YP CGT shares a poem about some of the trials and tribulations that he goes through in life. Even though the stacks are against him, he is ready for a change, and his own personal ‘revolution’.

Tired Of…

Doing nothing…
Overlooking things..
Not speaking up…
Being half azzed..
Being Judged so quickly..
expecting me to do as they want…
people thinking i need them…
watching myself be stagnant…
being taken for granted…
being lazy ..
being unorganized..
being left behind…
being looked down at..
Not living to my full potential..
Not being stable with one’s self…
writing about what i should change….tired of talking about making moves…
it’s time 4 my Revolution…

If children have the ability to ignore all odds and percentages, then maybe we can all learn from them. When you think about it, what other choice is there but to hope? We have two options, medically and emotionally: give up, or Fight Like Hell.”

I love this quote YP’s!  Regardless of what you’re encountering, going to encounter, already encountered, there are 2 decisions that will define you and ultimately determine your fate.  Please make the right decision and never give up on yourself but fight to the finish and you may be able to get the results you desire.  Someone told me that if I do everything I can do then God will do everything I can’t.  All it takes a positive attitude, good work ethic, and confidence/faith in order to fully execute this saying.  Stand up YP’s!

March 22, 2010

“Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it’s not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won’t. It’s whether you let it harden or [...]
