So I stop trying, and start writing, let’s see what happens.

I mean I have nothing to lose, right?
(NO! you’re wrong, you have your pride, digniity, and other principals that you must wear)
Right….? For me to wear?? Like medals for a marathon runner?
(Not like that, it is an accessory, to make you look good)
But I don’t care to look good… I just want to run the race
(Well, what it is the point of running a race if you don’t look good?”
To win. Above all else, to win.

Now that I have got the pride out of my system, let me make it known that this conversation is one that I have every single time I move closer and closer to completing my goals

Unfortunately, the weight of this world, and this weight of principles, prizes, and pride will weigh us down as we try to run faster and faster onto completing our goals. I know and understand that everyone wants to look good, I mean many of us are judged by how attractive we look, how muscular certain parts of our bodies are, and how symmetrical our face is. Let it be known that when it comes to a race, when it comes to winning, all that makeup, and all those things that do not contribute to winning will wiped away with the sweat on your brow, the tears on your face, the blood in your eyes, and none of that is “pretty”.

The unpredictiblity of life, forces us change how we do things every single day, so let’s stop focusing and being so stern on the how, but rather be focus on the what. A huge disclaimer must be made, that it is in fact important for us to have neccessary values in everything we do, and we stand firm on those, even when it is unneccessary because those values are a reflection of our identity, those values will keep us grounded, and they should actually propel you past the finish line of your goals. If your values and your goals do not align, please read this following article, because their is a major shift that needs to happen.

Now that the disclaimer is out of the way, I need your full undivided attention. We need to stop being so full of ourselves America if we are ever going to be able to accomplish something meaningful and legendary in this country. To be honest, so many times here people describing legend of the past, but never the legend of the present, or even the past century. We have people that have accomplished great things, but when will we find that person that is married to the legendary. That person who is tied to their goal and destiny so much that they are willing to do whatever it takes to make an imprint on this world not just for themselves, but for everyone else. That is a legend, and that will be legendary.

We are a long way from making this happen, some adage from today’s culture such as “look only after yourself” or “trust nobody [insert emoji]” has made me duobt if we will every reach the spawn of another legend. If that person is you, allow me to encourage you that you need to do three things:

Get off Social Media

“This might be the age of technology, but greatness lies within this world, and for you achieve the legendary, you must look beyond it”

2. Live out your Legacy

“Pretend that your home is your purpose, and anything outside of it is mere distraction, be focused and be ready to sacrifice whatever it takes”

3. Do not forget to Love on the Way

“Every person has their way to achieve Greatness, even fewer keep on the path of being Legend. The thing that seperate great people from legends is they loves their people,s tayed grounded on their values, and never compromised their loved ones.”
