NO SERIOUSLY… WATCH IT!
A man’s throne (position) or even home can be charged at any moment in time. It’s an unfortunate cost of doing business when occupying the throne, and the threat statistically comes from behind the walls. After all Who killed Caesar? MK Gandhi?, Malcolm X ?....... see the pattern?
Life is not a race, nor a marathon. Those are games that allow you to see your competition coming head on. Life doesn’t just have competition, it has leeches, swindlers, jealous/envious associates and collogues, the distractions of your woman, the distractions of another woman aka TRAPS, get rich quick schemes, and haters in every color, size, and religious background.
This isn’t a race, IT’S A CIRCUS. Only a circus stadium could fit all of them in and seat everyone. You Sir, as a capable man must perform and some people will perform with you, though most are in their seats as a spectator. Some betting you win, some betting you lose. Often times, someone in your camp is trying to dethrone you, be it an employee, partner, or spouse. These are regular challenges that happen to test you I imagine. The most common and easy way to lose one’s throne is simple and looks innocent: CONFORMITY.
Conforming and bending like play doe didn’t get you here, and it sure as hell won’t keep you here. To conform is capitulation in its simplest form. And just like THAT, there goes the throne…had it for a while, but it’s gone now.
To stay discipline and with focused with fortitude you will seem mean to most people sitting in the circus seats watching you. They criticize your performance as good BUT, they label you as disconnected, off putting, cruel, cold, and like you really don’t give a shit……Let me be friend and also be the first to remind you of something.
Come close, I’ll only whisper it once……………they don’t give a shit about you!
They stay around because they have interest that bears in you like a certificate of deposit or a dividend stock. The day that the interest stops paying them. They'll treat you like Penny Hardaway...Penny who?..EXACTLY!
Penny was kobe before kobe but i digress.
That’s the truth, COLD, HARD, AND CRUEL TRUTH. Remembering this very fact can assist in staying focused and resist conforming. If you suddenly turned into a city garbage man, working a underwhelming yet respectful nine to five, day in and day out…would they even still be around, would they call as often?
I know this sounds harsh, but you need to know it and believe it. You’re not here for a popularity contest or to be liked. You’re here because it’s your destiny, your calling, your vision, and your birth right. Even if that means you take responsibility to upgrade your relatives that are ungrateful, complaining, unappreciative, and even lazy. Don’t get me wrong, unfaithfulness is dishonor, and they should be put to death for such acts, but you get the idea. It’s a thankless job. No rewards, but the satisfaction of knowing you made it to the top and behaved honorably enough to make your 80-year-old self-proud when you look back at life. The point is, you must guard the throne, watch it fervently. After all if you don't watch it, who will.
