The thought of me ever becoming :flabbynsick: scares me so I'm improving myself by going to the gym, reading history, I stopped drinking (never drank much though anyway), trying to cut out a lot of the sugar I consume but it's hard :ohlawd:. I also don't over eat, I only had 1 plate of thanksgiving food last night.


The only gem I can drop is to pay attention to history or what goes on around you. Everything seems to repeat itself so learn from the consequences others are dealing with so you don't have to.

Always staying hungry in life... keeping an insatiable appetite to get further whilst being young & able really!
Adhering to the your body is a temple mantra & always keeping that side of me in check...more so for health longevity purpose as opposed to doing it for the women!
Hmm.... Lets see what else oh yea recently (about 6 months ago) having joined the RAF (Royal air force) reservist alongside fulltime employment as an Intelligence Osssssiffffer & currently awaiting deployment so I can go out there & pretend to be a bad ass Homeland character for abit.

The best advise I can give these young'uns (I'm talking the Coli teen crowd) is YOUTH is on your side so go make the most of it & accept sacrificial times... it doesn't matter if you gotta divorce your social life temporarily & endure lack of enjoyment. Just know that once you on your feet the world is your Oyster!

^^^ By no means am I implying I've made it... but I'm dead 'CERT' that I'm on track to blisfful old age down the line :myman:

For a while I was going to the gym, but it's cold outside and :flabbynsick: season is upon us :blessed:

I'll pick it back up come new year though when shyt's a little less crazy in my life. Other than that, I'm improving myself by just stacking my money. I'm trying to Gross at least half a mil next year, but I'm shooting for 7 digits. Plus I'm working on internal shyt in my life. Trying to weed out bad habits and trying to stop being a fukk nikka :to:

And to those who in their own view believe they have made it how do you drop knowledge to the young coli breh's and brehettes?

Been thinking about making a thread for young cats on that subject. I don't think I've made it, but I'm sure as hell getting there. I'm 31 and the best advice I can give you is to stack your money and learn how to save.

After that, have a plan for your life and stick with it. Make 1 year, 3 year, and 5 year goals and do everything in your power to hit it. My most recent goal is buying some income property (a mini apartment complex). I want to have something in the next 6-12 months. On top of that, I want to have one of my businesses bring in enough money to pay me about 20-30k/month. After that I want to expand it into other territories, and in 3-5 years I wanna be overseas getting international money.

My life plan is to build an economic bridge from blacks in the US to Africa (probably Nigeria or Kenya). Probably create some financial instruments to make it easier for blacks to invest in African businesses. Never know how where shyt may lead me, nikka might fukk around and start a hedge fund or some shyt.

Most importantly, dream big. If you wanna be an entrepreneur, make it you goal to be a multi billionaire. Never be afraid of success or failure, but you should be terrified of not even trying.

I'm exercising regularly now.
I try to be polite to people.
I try to respect differing opinions (although it's a work in progress for me)
I try to help others...whether helping them tangibly or by listening/advising them on any personal things they're dealing with.
I'm trying to be honest with myself about who I am. That's really underrated and extremely hard to do. We often see ourselves one way because we want to. But that isn't always the truth.

I think giving to others (in all the ways that could be) ultimately teaches you more about yourself. And the more you know about yourself, the better person you become.

Bruce Lee said once in an interview, "All knowledge ultimately means self-knowledge". For some reason that stuck with me when I heard him say it.

The better I know myself, the more I think I can improve myself. And that probably makes me better able to help and connect with others.

At least, I hope so.
