Under Construction

Under Construction

A term widely used to let Mah’fvckas know that you’re taking steps to be “a better you”.

Lately, I’ve been on this constant mission to be a better me and to be honest... It’s fvcking tiring!!!! So this post is for all my people in the “I’m trying to stay positive, but they trying me” part of life. This is for those people who know changes have to be made in order to attain their life goals, accomplishments and personal resolutions & agendas. It’s funny, because most people know there has to be changes made, but It’s the work that’s the hard part. I mean, no one wants to do the work... Including my black ass. Fortunately, there was a point for me when I was like, “Fvck that, I need to be rich” and actually meant it. No, I’m not talking about rich at heart bull either (although I consider my self to be). I’m talking rich- RICH, or at-least I’d like to be... I’ll even take a Miami condo with a great expendable income to. Problem is, I just know it’s not going to happen with some of the piss poor habits I’ve created... Unless I hit the lotto.🤷🏾‍♂️

From what I’ve learned, In order to be successful at pretty much anything so much bull has to stop. And that’s the hardest part yo! So I’m just here to help empower anybody else on their journey. If you’re trying your best at something, just know I emphasize with y’all. I thought it might be better knowing someone else is probably feeling just like you. Wether its losing weight, quitting cigarettes or trying to successfully stack paper, the work that goes into isn’t easy. Dealing with attitudes and different opinions while maintaining a smile isn’t easy. Also, If you haven’t noticed yet, life isn’t easy! So I’m sure being a better version of ya self won’t be an easy task either. I mean, that’s just logic.

So just Incase no one else has told you... Keep up the good Fvcking work. Today you ain’t curse nobody out cause you trying work on ya people skills... I SEE YOU! Today you got to the gym a little late, but you made it there... I SEE YOU! Today you didn’t add that lil bit of info on a coworker at the gossip table, because you’re not tryna be messy... I SEE YOU!  Tired of being the late one so you left 15 mins early... I SEE YOU. If you finally saved up that cash for trips, bills, school, investments or simply treating yourself… I FVCKING SEE YOU!

Getting Shyt together in life ISN’T EASY and no one has got it all together. Honestly I don’t have Shyt together, but everyday I’m trying to change that. I think the best way to start that change is by being a better me. Being better at everything I put my mind to is the goal. I think it involves building constantly. It’s like you always have to keep being better and keep doing better. That’s pretty much means we should always be “Under Constuction”. Constantly adding new bricks and continuing to Renovate the things about ourselves that we want to change. The shyt sounds poetic, but it’s a real big deal. So big shout out to everyone trying to push trough regardless of the negative comments, nay-sayers and setbacks (wether emotional or financial). Keep building… Your time is coming… Don’t give up!

Look out for my next blogpost. Until then, Stay Flee!
