Thoughts: Pretty calm, life is beautiful…
BEING VAGUE AND DISJOINTED IS SOMETHING I DO VERY WELL... BE FOREWARNED!!!
As most people may know… I’ve been very privileged most of my life… Life is good.
So how does this all work? You know, I hear people tell me stuff like…
1. I’ve worked for this so hard, and you could f**k it up… You are just out there
2. Why don’t you care? It’s because you’ve always had money
3. So what are you going to be when your father dies?
4. They stole it…
5. Just like **** (my first name) but bigger
6. Bye daddy
7. What’s your schedule for today?
Explanation of #1: Okay people… this is how each of these scenarios panned out, and happened. There is a comedian that lives one of the buildings that my family manages. He’s Mr. AM. He’s a mid or late 30’s black male. Quite honestly, if you saw him in a dark alley, most people would run. I like having “questionable” judgment when it comes to choosing the people around me. Tenants included.
Explanation of #2: A barista/friend at the neighborhood S@#$b&*(s is saying something to me. It’s about working to survive and working to make money. I refute these notions all day and every day for the fact that you can choose this not to be your fate/destiny. Yes money is a fountain of choices and a source of “the feeling of accomplishment”… but remember, most SAHM, (Stay At Home Mothers) are the most incredible people around, and they don’t get ‘paid’ for most of their efforts and stress.
Explanation of #3: My simple answer to having many blessings and living the “American Dream” is that we are all lucky. We are all blessed. My answer to this is… “be rich”… but my answer is decide to be bold/simple/generous. Wealth and riches are from within, and not just what others see/feel.
Explanation of #4: I am at my highly recommended mechanic yesterday tending to some issues on my wife’s vehicle. I told him that all of my washer fluid simply leaked out of the reservoir. After a bit of examination, it was discovered that someone stole my washer fluid pump. My washer fluid pump… what are the chances of that?
Explanation of #5: The folks around me were playing the board game “taboo”… the word to describe was “sumo wrestler”… just like “****” but fatter… everyone knew… laughs for all…
Explanation of #6: This happens when my daughter is off for school. It’s not very common that I bring her to school. But let me just say… Highly valued, and under-utilized… That is what a parent’s presence is… To all the bread winners who read this… When’s the last time you took your small child(ren) to school? Walk them… enjoy them… It’s the toughest ‘job’ in the world… but the only one worth dying for…
Explanation of #7: This is the way my boss/father/mentor/counselor calls and asks me “what the hell are you going to do today”? I think it’s a very politically correct way to check in on your grown child. I doubt that there are any seniors who read this blog, so I suppose it’s sort of a out of place thought, but I think it’s really poetic that a parent’s desire/love for their children is literally one of the strongest bonds/emotions on earth…
To this end, I would like to say… I don’t know what I will be doing for the rest of my life, let alone today. I read something this morning… I liked it… Digest this…
We can choose to be P.O.E. (planned, organized, executed) effectively. Get your ducks in order, and make whatever you wish happen. I request that this sort of methodology used everyday in schools around the world. I think it’s a basic problem solving method that really simplifies and focuses on the seriously important thoughts…
Live long, live well,
