"I'm not here to tell you what to believe in. But I am here to say that if you don't know what you believe in, everything in your life will be confused. knowing what you believe lays a foundation for your life. then you can have ideas that follow. Things you are unwilling to compromise. if you decide you believe something everyday and everyday you believe something different then you will have nothing else to look forward to but chaos." -Sista Soulja
I finally read something that wasn't imposed on me by school. I haven't done such a thing since Goosbumps. The book I've read was Sista Soulja's The Coldest Winter Ever. A couple of female friends put me on to it and I finally gave in. Lemme stop, i was willing to read it ..shit i was bored as fuck and the synopsis Ju gave me piqued my interest so I moved foward. Don't expect any spoilers in here because the fact that a read a book isn't the focus of this entry. Just know that the book is fire and it opened my eyes to a certain type of female (their need for security, lust for material possessions, how they know what their doing [using what they got to get what they want]) .... now of course this isnt all females and i know that but if you think that a Winter Santiaga doesn't exist out there then you are in neverland....
Anyway.
The quote above is obviously from the book and I highlighted it so i wouldn't forget it. Im feeling this quote becuz its the truth. If we don't know what we believe in we are destined to live like a hobo in hollywood. If there is a foundation for anything we hope to accomplish in life its our mindset, our mental. So i thought what do I believe in, what morals/ standards/ beliefs I hold that makes me, me. Brace yourselves cuz im actually thinking about this shit.
umm lemme be like: 10 things i believe in
1. I believe in self preservation. selfish I know but I believe everyone will do whats neccesary for them at any given time and specially me included. I've learned a long time ago that worrying about everybody else will leave you unhappy and worse off.
2. Never take shit from anyone! because all in all they shit stinks just like yours and i just have too much pride to let a lesser being take control of me.
3. Shoot for the moon cuz even if you miss you gonna be with the stars. I love setting high goals for myself because i'll act accordingly and i'll never be disappointed. If I happen to be disappointed the reasons why and the answers will be more clear for you to try again.
4. Never start something with a potential serious someone on a lie because you never know how it will go. That whole relationship is based on a lie shit holds some water with me. I believe in being open or closed but I'll never lie.
5. The truth is a time saver. You ever been in a situation with somebody where they would continuously stack lies and then you eventually find out the truth and you look back at all the uneccessary time you've wasted. The truth is like removing a bandaid just rip the shit off and be done with it and most importantly move foward.
6. Know what you want ... thats basically the hardest thing to do but once you do know and you start taking steps towards getting or attaining whatever you wish it gets easier because you're moving foward.
7. Know what you deserve and don't settle. This isnt hard at all just do it.
8. I dont impose my vehement beliefs onto anyone else. That shit is just ignorant of other people congnitive abilities. You a republican (example) fine dont cast aspersions to the people who don't necessarily believe the same shit you do. Atheists/christians need to learn to shut the fuck up, and thats real.
9 The loudest man in the room is the weakest/A wise man doesnt argue with fools... now me being of a quiet nature i sorta fell into this. I knew how true this was before the words were put together in front of me. In the grand scheme of things (i stay looking at the big pic) somethings aren't worth arguing about... i digress, MOST THINGS arent worth arguing about. Especially in our ass society today. Who do you see more, a dumb loud person or a dumb quiet person? You know how they say its the quiet ones to watch out for or that the quiet ones are the real freaks....its not neccessarily fiction, marinate on that one
10 Realism > Idealism... shit rarely happens like its supposed to. If you crumble every time shit goes left then you gonna be sand by the time life is done with you. When life happens roll with it because tears won't do anything but release frustration (in some weird emotional way) instead of crying too much try to find a way to flip it. Life happens but it doesn't have a mind to plot against us with....we do, use it to your advantage
