What do you want? PtII

What do you want? (Cont.)

3: Be Grateful: Be grateful. Cause no matter how bad it seems, you were not where you started from. If you look closely you’d realize there’s a lot to be grateful for. A roof over your head, don’t matter if you’re still staying at moms’, food to eat, don’t matter if it’s food stamps or the church, you doing better than you used to. You got clothes and you look finer than last year. There’s a lot to be grateful to the supreme being for. Don’t forget to be grateful to him, and other people involved in your growth process.

4: Never get comfortable where you are: this is where we all get things wrong. We sometimes slack because we feel we’ve gotten to where we’re supposed to be. My pastor would say “Success is dangerous “ because it has a way of making you too comfortable, which is a dangerous setting on its own.

5: Never forget where you came from: I kinda see this happen in real life, not just a lot of movies. Never forget where you come from. You’ve tasted an unfulfilled life, you’re tasting a better one, don’t go down that road, it ain’t worth it. Tell your kids your history! Remembering that things weren’t always so smooth, and realizing that if you don’t bring your A game, you could be going back to the trenches, has a way of keeping us at our best.

I hope this helps. Selah!
