At some point in time things just start feeling right. You can't predict it, you can't plan for it, you can only work and hope that the moves you're making correlate to a higher purpose. I've always found myself stressing, in retrospect that's how I work best. If there's no pressure on me I'm least likely to perform, and that's why I hate comfort. At 21 I know I haven't really accomplished shit. I'm two semesters from graduating a prestigious school, I have a couple nice internships and a decent resume but, to get where I want to be Im having to fully understand I've accomplished nothing. My biggest motivator is realizing and reminding myself I'm not shit, because some time in the near future that won't be true. Although I'm not the most religious person, I believe in a higher power, and I believe that the higher power I believe in has me on the right path. To simplify it I believe in the process. By process and to quote Talib Kweli I'm living the "beautiful struggle". The struggle is some of you're purest days because struggling drags that feeling of hunger out of you. Nobody likes to struggle but in order to shine you gotta grind, in order to eat you gotta work. You just don't wake up and eat steak and lobster, you gotta eat Top Ramen first and chicken flavored to be exact. I really plan on having a hand in changing multiple aspects of the career's that I want to pursuit. I've never been the person who liked sitting on any bench, I want to get in games, I want to make All-Star teams, I want to hoist that MVP award. My Grandpa told me when I was young, "whatever you do in life be the best at it," I take that to heart because I hate the shit out of losing. . I will say this at this point in my life the picture's getting clearer. We all move at a different pace, but most of us strive for the finer things, the difference is we're not all willing to put in the work to obtain those things. If I'm able to obtain my goals and stay true to who I am, that paints a picture for the future. Dawg I gotta get it.
