What motivates you? Could your surroundings be stopping you? Are you your best you?

[2stepz_ahead]

Example

" Lemmy i want to be in shape. Im going hard in the gym so ill succeed."

" do you have a goal?

Do you know how to eat?

How much does it costs to you?

Can you afford it? Do you plan to get financial returns for that investment?

What motivates you? Are women a sufficient reason to spend all tha time and money for that?"

" nigga why all these question?!!! Foh its all about going hard or going home!! You hating, you gay etc....."

" no bruh you are setting yourself for failure cause you dont have a GLOBAL APPROACH of your plan. You will fail hard"

i can go so many places with the bolded.

i see people who are smart as hell but refuse to leave what they know....which to me makes them dumb.

i know it sounds bad.....but i look at it like this.....if i can move the way i move across the globe....those same people who can navigate the hardship and randomness of the hood can excell anywhere.

think about the possibilities you would have if your hood wasnt "your first oppressor"....the the name of a short book i am writing....lol

but anyway.....once i got out the hood.....the world was easy to deal with for so many reasons.

i felt like a caged tiger let out into the wild and his natural habitat.

but question..

do you ever think about why you respect the people that you respect.

did you ever think about why you look up to certain people or certain behaviors...

did you ever think why certain things dont bother you even if they are inhumane...

did you really try your hardest today...

even if it was to help out with something simply.....did you do it like a boss or did it just to get it done.

always remember there is no traffic going an extra mile....AND you will be further than the rest

 

[2stepz_ahead]

what have you sacrificed in life that would make achieving your goal that much sweeter

 

[2stepz_ahead]

have you ever though about relocating.

another city, state, country....

did you apply for a job just see if you could get it...just to test the waters.

That last one yes

Last one was an IT Support job at LAX for Southwest Airlines

I got it but because of my background I couldnt get the TSA clearance

He even tried to get me in as a temp but once they saw my name again they already knew...and i have name that once u see it you know its me and youll recognize it if it comes up again

we all need to help and hold each other accountable.

we can make this right....we can create something powerful

if i am fukkin up ...i need someone to tell me

but i also need to have someone help me if i ask for it....

or maybe just help cause i said i ran into a problem and didnt ask for help.

what is the harm in helping just because...

did it harm you in anyway....does it make you feel a grown man can do it himself.

do you feel ...since you made it without ...he should be able to as well....

guess what...we never know when we may be on the other end of that need......

so i will go outta my way just because i want to help.

people talk about karma.....but what about the positive things that come back because of the positive you out out there......

You know I can only think of one thing that has always motivated me when I was younger and it was too live my life on my terms

I grew up in a super religious, closed off immigrant community, and being as strong headed as I am I always bucked their attempts to control me

I've only ever wanted two things that I can remember clearly since I was about 12. To be a scientist and to have real love. The last one is because I didn't see that in the marriages of the Africans around me. Shit all seemed like a business arrangement and that's how the husbands and wives I saw treated each other. I knew I didn't want that shit

So when I met my husband at 18 and my family was opposed to the relationship, I knew my decision would be easy. I moved out and didn't talk to them for almost 2 years. They needed to understand that no one is going to dictate my life but me

And I swear I've never been happier since. I'm more financially stable now, but even when I was struggling in undergrad I was still very happy because I was in control of my life. I didn't have to suppress who I wanted to be because other people may not approve

Now what motivates and gives me purpose is to maintain that control and to keep my husband happy

what have you sacrificed in life that would make achieving your goal that much sweeter

Sacrifice is painfull. Time management and paradigm shift can reduce the sacrifice load.

Look im in shape while not doing a damn treadmill, nor sitting in the gym for hours. The cost of my results is less burdensome on my body.

It has cost me my vacations. For two weeks i jave watched vids after vids, conferences after conferences non stop in order to have a deeper understanding on hunger, food and the body.

Now i spend less than 70$ a week eating better.

 

[LEMZIMUS_RAMSEY]

And ince again im ready to share. We can elevate each other and transcend ourselves.

My kinda thread

I never had a leader (mentor) before but just because I never had one doesn't mean that I can't be one. For almost the past two years, I grew an inner fire of determination in my soul. I say there's two things that you have to do to reach your dream. Do the things that you need to do & do the things that you is scared to do. As you go through life then you'll probably have to draw space from those who are content, complacent & not like minded as yourself. You'll never find yourself until you are by yourself. I never thought that I'll bounce back financially from 2010. I'll never thought I'll translate fitness a hobby & have a toned physique. I'll never thought that I'll be on the back end & almost done with school. All through self motivation.

I'll be back in this thread tomorrow evening. I gotta get rested & catch this flight tomorrow morning

There's so much to say I don't even know where to start. There were so many questions but I'll start with the title.

Hands down, I'm the most self motivated and driven person I know. And what motivates me is purpose. I know everything has (a) purpose, and so do I.

When Pac said “I'm not saying I'm gonna change the world, but I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world.” He was speaking about me. Not me alone, but yes, ME. The world will change for the better, and I will have played a part in that. Everything I'm building will benefit all Life on the planet, not just people.

But I blame all of my limitations on myself, mainly my ignorance. I also realize that nothing in existence is independent of itself, but at the moment, I'm building alone. So being that I haven't built a reliable team or made the necessary connections, I have to build alone and I haven't yet figured out how to build all of these things and invest into all of these ideas with my VERY limited resources (or at least with what I'm aware of as limited). I only build alone because I haven't found anyone to really build with. But at the same time, I know there's avenues I'm not taking that will help, I just don't realize them yet. At the moment I'm strugglin and everybody I know is too (which perpetuates this cycle, a bunch of poor people making poor decisions). At the moment, ALL of my resources go into survival only, so executing these ideas takes a little ingenuity.

Another reality is, people like me very rarely cross paths with people like 2stepz and others who have the resources and the will to build. To me it seems that in the world there's a lot of financially stable people with questions, and a lot of poor people with answers. So what are we going to do about that? What connections need to be made?

Also, being that nothing is independent of itself, how does one build several non-profits, co-ops and businesses alone?

How?

To be continued...

Everything has purpose, and I know, (a part of) my purpose is to help lay down the foundations of a new system. Or maybe even realign to with the true system of Life.

to be continued...

i say this to people alot.

some people need others around....because they may not like who they are.

its more common than you think.

i think this is something we need to work on in our community.

think about this...

can you really be in the house alone, not be on your phone and entertain yourself all day or all weekend.

learning just who you are is a very scary thing and it takes inner strength to want to correct who you are. and you are doing it for you....an not an outside influence who will make you feel special because of who they think you are.

the only person you should be special for is you....you are important enough for you. i you can self analyze and be honest you will seewe are all imperfect and we would be more reluctant to expose others....because we see just how "exposed" we truly are

workin with limited resource is the best time to create.....because you have to be creative instead of just throwing your resources.

you tend to think more and process the what ifs.

if you can learn to eat for a week with tuna, bread and koolaid.

you should be fine when you you have a fridge full of food.

but what if you lived like you only had tuna, bread and koolaid when you have the fridge full of food.

never forget your hunger even when you are not hungry

Having an understanding of self is fundamental, but after you find/understand yourself you see see that the "self" is just a part of a whole, and that nothing in the universe is independent of itself. Everything in this universe needs something because everything is connected. Everything has purpose and your purpose is connected to mine. Nothing that exists was designed to be alone.
