Inventory/TGIF

First Take...

Isn't it so easy to just fly away, and forget about your cares and responsibilities. Oh but if it were all that simple. This is the time of year where I reevaluate everything in my life and my purpose. A spring cleaning if you will in December. All dead weight must go. No longer will I give a pass to stagnation, at least not in 2009, Next year we'll get the chance to try harder with resolutions. The world keeps changing, and are we even aware of these traditions that they call 'resolutions'.

Lately I find that people are afraid to stand by standards and traditions, so most opt to go with the popular votes. That can only get you so far. Honestly some people were never taught values and standards. Thinking outside of the box may have you alienated, but I feel the rewards are more gratifying. Being insecure is in abundance. Walking alone, in deep thought is a lovely conversation within itself. We can no longer make excuses for the lack thereof. Inventory is a must in our lives. To reconsider is to revisit. You can change your mind, if and when you do, be gallant in your decision.

Am I being the best that I can be....and yes I have to reevaluate myself and what I have to offer others as well. No man is an island. I'm not perfect, and neither are you. Putting your best foot forward, falling, stumbling, crawling, who cares how you get there, just as long as you get there. Examples are part of you destiny, you must teach others' the lessons that you've learn, as someone has taught you from their mistakes. It's not a new rule, but it's one that perhaps has been forgotten or set aside. To know your value is a tool and a great beginning.

Never let anyone take advantage of your nor your good deeds. In life we have dead weight around us all the time, sometimes its in your family, or in your friendships, and of course it clearly exists in the work place. Over the next few weeks, I suggest that you take a look a deep look at yourself and your actions. Also look at the actions of those around you. So many of us tend to get complacent. We're all looking for new reasons for existence, things like twitter, texting, facebook, blue tooth, blue ray, LCD, Mac Books, are all the wave of a new generation and movement. If you don't pay attention you get left behind. Taking inventory is chance for you to say what gets left, you are in control of your life and your surroundings.

Change is constant, nothing puzzling about that. Make sure the world that you create is a world in which you have equality, a world where no one hurts or goes hungry. Visualizations of a deeper understanding and a deeper meaning with a greater appreciation. Take your inventory, you got some work to do, when you've fully cleaned house, make sure that all is in divine order.

What are you doing with you life?

  8. Your message is a great reminder. I'm cleaning "HOUSE" for real, in the hopes that my true goals and purpose in life become clearer in 2010. I've had some great accomplishments in 2009 and have made some repetitive mistakes in the area of love and relationships. But I've learned that my mistakes were unconscious and that I still have healing work to do around my relationship with my parents. It hurts and it sucks...but I suppose that comes with growth. I see why so many people avoid doing work on themselves...it doesn't feel good.

  14. Yo Son!! It's take for you to stop being lazy, and go after your destiny. God has chosen you. What are you going to do with your gift? You give so much to others, but what you giving yourself? Time is not going to wait on you, if you don't jump at your opportunity, someone else will take your spot. The time is YOURS!!

  15. It's hard to get rid of dead weight. Closure is never easy. Just like J'Sun sings on "Pretty Wings" it talks about letting go, but it's never easy. Btw who is J'Sun he's mad talented. If you're featuring him on your blog either he's a relative or someone that you are really digging....cause you only like real singers, like your boy Rahsaan.
    Get at me.

  17. I'm just opening my Friday mail, it's been one of those days. I just wanted to take time to thank you for the gift that you're continue to give us every week. I don't know where the words come from with you...but you give us good stuff on the regular. I take these words to heart. I need to reevaluate some things.

  19. Good seeing you last night at Lalah's celebration for her grammy nod.
    I finally made my way to your blog, and I've been reading this joint for over two hours. Your TGIF's are powerful, you should write a book or make it a yearly series. Very good stuff.
