I received a series of rejections this week. It hurts, i won’t deny it. When I started to internalize them, I called one of my bros and he helped me remember that I’m so much more than any opportunity or accomplishment. In short it’s okay to let your folks know when youre down ❤️
99% of people I know who became financially free while working their 9-5 did the following:
- Had a side hustle or started a business
- Paid off their consumer debt
- Maximized their retirement accounts
- Lived below their means
- Tithed/Gave
- Had no excuses
Lesson there 😉.
Your competition isn't other people. Your competition is your procrastination, your ego, your bad diet, your lack of knowledge, your lack of creativity.
Compete against that.
In order to truly be a prophetic voice you must make of yourself no reputation. If you’re concerned about being popular in today’s society you can’t be a true representative for the kingdom of God. What God is saying is countercultural and completely against the grain of society.
I do not say this lightly or hastily but with fear & trembling after much deliberation. I think we are experiencing a divine reckoning in America. I don’t think the reckoning is over our having simply sinned. I think it’s over the fact that we have used God & the Bible to do it.
💡To my white faith leaders: you can not be concerned with my black soul and ignore my black suffering. Care about our lives like you care about our attendance.
