Go Get IT!!!!

Disclaimer: I’m going back to North Carolina A&T on Friday to finish the promotional video! See you there! And NEXT Friday, October 14th is the show! Too excited and Spongebob ready! Does that info have anything to do with this post? Of course NOT! Welp… Here it goes:

Everybody has that person in their family who has problems. Whether it’s the crackhead, alcoholic or abusive husband. My dad was (maybe still is… not sure) all three. I’m telling you all this because I have nothing better to talk about. Lol. But at the end of the day, that’s still my dad. I bet yall didn’t know that my dad is a disabled veteran. For Undergrad I could have went to ANY State school for FREE. But I chose Claflin, which is a private institution. That n**** was MMMMMAAAAADDDDD!!!! Because I decided to help my mom pay out of pocket instead of taking a free ride. I worked my butt off and got an academic scholarship starting my Sophomore year till graduation. I went and got it!

Sometimes that’s the stance you have to take. “I gotta go get it!” Everybody has a comfort zone. For you to man up or woman up takes you out of that comfort zone. 9 times out of 10, when you challenge yourself, only then do you find your true potential. I preach to yall all the time about not being complacent. But to be honest, it’s time I take my own advice. Analyzing my life, I have excelled at things that I wanted to do! Very very selfish of me! It’s more than just doing what you have to do, to do what you want to do at this point. Now the goal is to CHALLENGE myself. Here is my checklist:

1.) Goal- I want to be an avid blogger. Steps to get there- Blog EVERYDAY.

2.) Goal- I want to have my Youtube poppin. Steps to get there- New video EVERY week!

3.) Goal- I want to do stand-up comedy. Steps to get there- Get on a stage at least two nights a week.

Those are SOME of my goals that I should currently work on. PLEASE check up on me and watch me grow. Have you set goals? Are you challenging yourself and preparing for that next step? STAY ready! So, when someone asks you, “You ready to do this?” You can answer, “I’ve BEEN ready!” Because if you are the guy or girl who is always fixin’ to or bout to then you will probably will get left. Get ready right now! Not now, but RIGHT NOW! Being ready and waiting on an the opportunity is better than missing the opportunity because you weren’t ready.

Summary:

1.) You probably have a crackhead in your family too.
2.) Claflin stand the f- up!
3.) Set goals and put them on paper where you can see them!
4.) Don’t take my advice
