Allah is the best of planners 🙏🏾 Almost didn’t finish the shoe, but the marathon in me wouldn’t let me quit 🤞🏾🏁.
Never let doubt creep into your vision.
Let the record show #michaelbjordan work ethic got him here. This is from six years ago, but he’s been doing this since a teenager. Are you willing to work harder than anyone else. #sinners
the years before the work finds its shape are the years everyone misreads. from the outside: aimlessness, indecision, a person who can’t explain what they’re doing because what they’re doing doesn’t have a name yet. circling a subject with a devotion that looks, to everyone watching, like paralysis.
from the inside: a fever. a low, constant, productive fever. the mind is assembling something that the craft can’t deliver yet and that the mouth can’t name and the inability to describe the thing you’re becoming to the people who knew the thing you were - that inability is its own particular wilderness. and I have lived in it, and the living in it was the making of me, though I couldn’t have told you that at the time. at the time, I would have told you I was lost.
