Having a conversation with one of my homeboys this evening...it posed a question...a question that people seem to no longer ask themselves...Why Settle???...And that right there goes for everything in life...why settle when it comes to your education...when it comes to you school...when it comes to relationships...why do so many people settle...is it because it is the way of society...is it because your parents did the same things...is it because that is the easy way...why would you compromise things that make you who you are...
Work: We will start here as this the easiest and most settled of all things...how many people in this world can say that they are satisfied with their jobs...4 out of 5 of my friends say differently...they don't have careers they have jobs...living paycheck to paycheck not satisfied because it is killing them on the inside...there not happy...they are all either extremely intelligent or extremely artistic but there are in fields that have nothing to do with anything they ever did...situation really is heart breaking cause i am like damn you deserve better you family deserves better but what do you do...when did people start living to society standards...by living the American dream of a nice 9 to 5 Monday Thur Friday working hard at a desk...just hoping that someone higher then you will pay attention to your work and you will move to the next level...
Guess what it is all a lie...most people who do the work get passed over for the Yes man or woman...usually you don't get paid your worth...they aren't forthcoming with the raise that you deserve...expect to be used because they know you will do anything that you can if they hold some money or a promotion over you...That right there is the American way...sorry boys and girls there are just simple numbers and if you break them down...the statistics can be a bit overwhelming...a wise man once said it isn't WHAT you know...it is WHO you know...another simple fact that people can never seem to looks past...For some people this is the dream but for the other 75% of you...maybe you need to think about your future....
Relationships: This is just a sad situation...people who settle because their parents things it appropriate or their friends think it is the right thing to do...heck i know someone who got married not because of love...it was for financial reasons...that is sad...evening among those relationships goes friendships....nothing worse then a forced friendship (if you need more info see earlier blog)...relationships with people because you believe they make you cooler...or even just trying to fit it...is it that hard for people to be themselves...(getting into that next)...why settle for something with someone that isn't a fulfilling experience...be it you heart...your mind...hell even your soul...why would you settle once again for what you believe society wants...do you see where i am going with this...if you do just read on anyways...whatever kind of relationship you are in...should always balance out 50/50...there is nothing else for you to settle on...anything else is pure stupidity...to help someone who doesn't want to help themselves especially after multiple trials are just ridiculous...the exact same goes for someones heart...if they didn't love you before it started...how in the hell are they going to fall in love with you...cupid doesn't exist and if he does i believe he is running match.com so might wanna try there instead if you are looking for that amazing relationship that will cost you some money per month to maintain...lol
You: How people compromise their moral, their intelligence, even their bodies...i will never understand...why would you change who you are for a person or a job...anytime you have to change when there was nothing wrong in the first place you will never ever be happy...nothing you do an make you happy if you cant control yourself...i cant stand when girls are like he will like me more if i lose 30 lbs...or a guy is like if i kiss my bosses but at work for a little while they will look at me for this promotion...that is the most absolute failure if i have ever heard one...if you have to change who you are and your not an actor or a detective you need to rethink your life...funny thing about me is no matter who i am around...no matter who i am talking to...i am always the same...it is why people respect me so much as i never break character for anyone...i am going talk to my peoples the same way i am going to talk to President Obama or Bill Gates cause in my eyes you are a man just like I am...
It amazes me as time goes on people are less and less creative...informed...and just original...i remember when i was in high school those kids were called weird...now they are trendsetting...i remember when music had some originality...now it is called a fad...i remember once upon a time you can dictate who you wanted to be...now you have corporations...when did the artist become the store manager...the rapper became the sandwich maker...when did the college diploma become a piece of paper...I guess the same time when people stopped dreaming and people lost hope...
Wun's Nation and I am Signing off....Holla Back!!!!
