Overview
Why? Forward because after all the obstacles, all the distractions, all the setbacks I always looked at the bigger picture, looked at my past , looked at my future self so all of these circumstances couldn't been achievable without looking forward, moving forward and preparing yourself in the present while looking forward. Poetry like "never give up" are spoken words that I kept saying to myself while being productive."rising forward" it's poetry that I wrote while witnessing others and myself who wasn't derailing on who they are, and no matter what kept pushing forward without missing a beat. "Some people" it's one of my favorite,wrote it when I realize that distraction it's really here to take you out of destination, but when you understand it, accept responsibility from it you will rise from it with a little more knowledge.
Description
In life, we are all faced with challenges, either rich or poor either black, white or brow, our challenges are the stairs that we faced to get to our destination. We are all on earth to serve a purpose either big or small, your actions will still play a part on someone else life. Life to me it's not something to blame or to count on its agenda doesn't wait on anyone, it keeps moving as days go on, and it keeps giving and taking as life goes on. in the 35 years of my life, I learned and grew from so many challenges and blessings only my writing could shine a light on my experiences. I decided to share my lessons thru motivation, blessed enough to learn from my mistakes at a such young age but thru major repetition of several habits , I will admit that I was such a follower not paying attention to the way I was being used by my peers instead of being loved and accepted, like the great rapper Nas says in one his songs " they don't give damn about me like I was just a gun" one of the reason why I could say today I am grateful and not regretting anything that I been thru, it's because I always wanted to leave an impact on people, always make a change in the world, even the ones who hurt me actually build me and made me unbreakable today, but not bitter most importantly wiser.
About the author
In life, we are all faced with challenges, either rich or poor either black, white or brown our challenges are the stairs that we faced to get to our destination. We are all on earth to serve a purpose either big or small. Life to me it's not something to blame or to count on its agenda doesn't wait on anyone, it keeps moving as days go on, and it keeps giving and taking as life goes on. In the 35 years of my life, I learned and grew from so many challenges and blessings only my writing could shine a light on my experiences. I decided to share my experiences thru motivation, with the acknowledgment that I have been a victim of not using my brain as a lethal motivator, instead, I used anger and excuses as a tool to not do something. Thru my experiences and paying attention to the advice of my uncle and all the wise people who elevated me to the next level of my life. Their pieces of advice were very simple: always pay attention by being very observant, always listen even when u know it's fabricated, and just be wise instead of being a know it all, and challenges are very important in our life cause it's where the next level starts and they always looked at it as a new chapter. I was blessed enough to learn from my mistakes at a such young age but thru major repetition of several mistakes, I will admit that I was such a follower not paying attention to the way I was being used by my peers instead of being loved and accepted, like the great rapper Nas says in one his songs " they don't give damn about me like I was just a gun" one of the reason why I could say today I am grateful and not regretting anything that I been thru, it's because I always wanted to leave an impact on people, and to inspire to make a change.
