the trick is having the courage to live through a chapter you hate without letting it poison your belief in the story. even in the middle of something painful, you can hold onto that deep pull toward what your life could become. so much of life comes down to your ability to keep believing in what you cannot see yet, to keep faith in the story while you’re still living through the parts that make it hard to believe

10 years ago today, Meek Mill went on Hot 97 with Funk Flex and freestyled over:
▫️ “Quiet Storm” by Mobb Deep
▫️ “Where I’m From” by JAY-Z
He went in for 7 minutes straight 🔥 (2016)
King silly as hell 😭😂 “that’s y I ain’t say Tupac, that’s my Tupac” 😂😂😭😭😭
T.I. got PISSED at his children, King, Domani, and Messiah, after he walked in on them talking about hip-hop. He asked each of them to list their TOP 5 favorite artists, but none of them included him on their list, despite the fact that he put them on. So, he decided to get back at them by listing his TOP 5 children instead😂😭
Domani: “Kendrick Lamar, Jay Z, Outkast, J Cole, Killermike”
King: “Young thug, Future, Lil Durk, Lil Wayne, Lil Baby”
T.I. “Hey look i got a list of my Top 5 favorite children, Deyja, Heiress, Nick Nick, Deyja, Y’all disrespectful man, i can’t believe you wouldn’t even know this people if it weren’t for me, i should have wiped all three of y’all on the pillow”😂😭

Let me be REAL for a minute: You cannot work full time, stay in great shape, be an amazing spouse, be a great parent, keep up with every friend, build a business, invest, grow your wealth, travel, read, have hobbies, keep the house together, answer every text, eat perfectly, sleep 8 hours a night and somehow be fully present for ALL OF IT. That’s complete bullshit.

I saw a post that said:
“I think being forced to be hyper independent as a child has caused me to be irrationally angry with any adult who needs their hand held through anything they do.”
And I felt that in my soul.

This nigga mean something to us
Lamar Jackson says he watched friends chase fast money while he was playing the long game and counting how many years it would take him to reach the NFL
“I’m seeing my friends who I was growing up with who I was playing football with… Just throw their life away for fast money and stuff like that. They used to tell me ‘Oh, you talk too much’. Because I used to always speak about football and positivity stuff. They didn’t want to hear that.”
“Now it’s like… They’d rather hear it now because I’m Lamar Jackson. But I’ve been speaking about it. Everybody just wasn’t listening. I was already seeing what was going on. I wish we could go back in time and y’all could see what I was seeing. Because I always looked at life like, I counted years.”
“Like I would think… ‘How many years does it take to get to the league?’ They’re saying… ‘You do three years in college.’ I said… ‘I’m doing three years.’ I’m not doing four. I’m not trying to go fifth year. I’m doing three years because I’m going to make sure my family is good.”
“If you’re coming from a place like where I come from, don’t try to be like the guys around you. Don’t look up to the stuff that looks like it’s fun… Because sometimes it gets you in trouble.”
“It’s sacrificing. ‘Man, I can’t have fun right now. I’ve got to get my family right. I can’t do this right now. I can’t mess up.’ Forget the fast money. I’ve got to think about longevity.”
“You can get locked up and do five years for $1,000. That money gone. It’s gone. You’re like… ‘Man, I just did that for $1,000…’ And I could have waited five years and I would’ve had $10 million.”
“That’s why I’m where I’m at right now. That’s how I used to think. My mom working… She’s busting her behind. It’s me, my brother and my two sisters at home. I’m the oldest…”
“So I’ve got to make sure everybody right. And it’s like… Man, I can’t wait, but I’ve got to wait. That’s the sacrifice. I’ve got to be patient. People don’t look at it like that. It’s like… ‘Man, I need that money right now.’ But you don’t need that money right now. Just wait.”

If you don't let people experience consequences of their actions towards you , you will remain a safe space for their worst behavior.

Keep your problems smaller than your life. A flat tire is a flat tire. A bad meeting is a bad meeting. A canceled flight is just an extra two hours. These things become catastrophes when you let them. But they stay manageable when you remember the depth of your real life- the people you love, the work you care about, the beautiful years still ahead. Zoom out. Fit your reaction to the size of the problem.

Lou Williams reveals why NBA players wives/girlfriends leave them when they stop playing.
“How’re you going to keep her happy when your keep her happy button is to send her to the mall”
“You don’t really know the woman you married”
“If I’m playing for the clippers, she might move with me but I’m on the road for 3 - 4 nights a week and only got to deal with her for 2 nights a week”
“You know how we keep them happy? We send them to the mall and that’s why they’d say they understand and be like ‘I’d stay home with the kids’”
“Because she can shop in peace and you’re on the road doing what you’re doing”
“And then when you retire, you got to deal with this 24/7 and play house”
