In the coming year, I'm RUNNING towards greatness. I have to curate my life in a way that, for my own personal & professional good, accentuates the positives and alleviates the negatives. S/O to Bing Crosby. Lol...
I had to take time & pray over what that means my life in for my family, friends, and fellow creators & collaborators. I'm tired of feeling bad about focusing on myself. I'm tired of being called selfish for distancing myself from problematic behavior. I'm tired of being stifled in many ways & for reasons by people who truly wouldn't care if I died tomorrow.
With that said, a quick THANK YOU to everybody that has been letting me crawl into my cave & re-emerging when it feels safe to me since the "Great Flood" of July 2024. Most of you had NO idea, you were just being yourselves & caring for me, and when I tell you that level of mental & emotional safety is enough to make a grown man cry tears of praise. GOD IS THE GREATEST.
Okay, let's wrap it up, STRAFE. LOL
The biggest lesson in these last couple of months has been that as great as my want for other people to succeed has been/is, I've personally never really given that kind of belief to ME. I be thinking I do, but I'm still aiming low EVERY TIME. Sorry to myself. BUT, I've seen SO MUCH love for ME in these past two months, and the craziest thing is meeting people who don't know me from a rock, but can see greatness & feel greatness in & on me. As much as I hate attention, I'm constantly being called to the forefront of things. As much as I appreciate the good things in my life, I'm being challenged to lean into greatness.
GOD, the creator of all, would only clear out my life to such a degree if & when it was time to build a NEW, STRONG foundation. So be it.
I'M DECLARING THIS: . . . Before the end of 2025, ALL 3 WILL BE RECOGNIZED AS SUCCESSFUL, WORLDWIDE BRANDS.
See you all in a few.
