One of the craziest things about growing older is watching the people around you lose that spark in their eyes. We used to talk about how fly our house would be, the cars we were gonna collect, our daily drivers, the old schools, the watches, the vacations we would go on, the fly pics in other countries to show our sons how to really live life, buying real estate in other countries, the stories we would keep to ourselves because some parties got too wild, floor seats at the games, being wealthy random people with the best seats, the wedding, spoiling our wives, letting them drive our fly cars to school, all the big dreaming we did as young’ns… and now it’s all out the window.
Now it’s just: “Did you see the highlights from last night’s game?” “Where the hoes at?” “Look at the reels I sent you.” “Get on the game.” Drinks in the bar, which clubs are dope, etc
No more schemes about getting rich and doing fly shit and keeping our freedom. No more talks about how we would be better and more calculated than the people who came before us. No more mispronouncing countries we never heard of but were for sure gonna get to somehow. No more dreams. No more ambition. Just slowly rotting away watching TikToks and sports all day.
Even worse is when these people start criticizing the ones who actually stuck to the plan. You used to want success like him, cars like him. He just stayed consistent, and you became a critic. Now the only thing we can talk about is.. Where the hoes at?
You think you want material things but you really want freedom
The material things are a bandage to help you get through the pain of not having freedom. Once you get freedom you can get all the material things you want as long as they don’t jeopardize your freedom… but you’re going to want “things” less and less, or you’ll buy things because they are cool, well crafted, dope design, to support the owner, buy from a collection etc but you’ll slow all the way down buying things just to get a quick dopamine hit, get your freedom first then the fly shii after…that was my path and that’s the path I suggest for all of you.
Got a dope car? Doesn’t matter if you aren’t free, Rolex? Who cares you are free, fancy vacation? Doesn’t matter it ends and you go back to not being free… but when I say free I’m not talking about strictly not having a job but the option to chose where you want, chose the labor you do, do what you like to do instead of doing what pays the best, the freedom to express yourself without the fear of financial consequences, the freedom to help the people who deserve it, the freedom to not be in a rush, to stay out late because you’re having a good time, to wake up earlier and watch the sunshine without needing every hour of sleep, because if you’re sleepy you’ll go back to bed. Freedom comes in many forms but the main thing is don’t put material things first they will slow you down on your journey to freedom, assets will speed up the journey, that car payment is costing you your freedom bro, the fancy apartment or house all of that is money that can be used to give you escape velocity

I’ve heard people I would’ve done anything for talk crazy about me. People I root for to win, wanting me to lose. Life teach you a lot as you continue to live. Maturity is knowing I could retaliate but choose not to. Just bc you peep it don’t mean you have to speak it.
I played ball for the first time in a long time with some young kings at the park & it’s crazy to think that those young boys was me less than 15 yrs ago. Felt amazing being around that energy of just truly wanting to win & have no fear of what it comes with. Refreshing!
We kick & scream for our family & friends to support us meanwhile it’s a bunch of strangers that’s waiting for you to take that first step so they can help you & your dream thrive!
Can’t get mad at anyone for not seeing the vision when it wasn’t given to them! #KeepGoing
Now would be a perfect time for someone who’s been wanting to start buying Bitcoin to start buying
Get in now at $55,500, once Bitcoin is back to all time highs you’re already at +33%
We have 3 halving cycles within the next 10 years I think Bitcoin ends up at $5M - $10M
Reminder to self,
I’m learning you have to do the ground work yourself. Nobody cares about things until they see it start working. Unfortunately by that time though most seats at the table will be already filled by the ones who believed from the beginning. Keep working.
Not everyone needs to know about your wins.
Your plans.
Your goals.
Your achievements.
A head high is an exposed neck.
Learn to keep things to yourself.
