One more hour won’t hurt… right?


There you go again. Sitting on the bed, scrolling through social media for hours on hours.

It’s crazy cause deep down you know you don’t care about nothing these people posting.

You know they ain’t putting no extra money in yo pocket.

But you too stressed out. And you tired. I get it. Cause i been there.

But you gotta understand that scrolling on social media ain’t gone do nothing but add more static to your mind.

But let me guess…

One more hour ain’t gone hurt right? You been laying around all this time. Might as well do it a lil longer huh? Ain’t like you was gone start anything productive today no way… right?

That’s the trap. Right there.

That’s how you end up looking back 15 years from now wishing you woulda chased yo purpose instead of pleasure.

Don’t let that be you.

Real talk, it ain’t never too late to get started. You and me both know you got what it takes.

But time is ticking.

I’ve been trying for a while to get my bag up so I can finally control my own schedule and live my life on my own terms, but sometimes I feel like it’s taking too long to work out. You feel me? And listen, if I’m being 100 with you, the more I think about it, the more I realize I really can’t be mad at anyone but myself. I put myself behind the 8 ball. All them nights when I had hella free time, and all I did was spend hours and hours: Laying around watching YouTube videos Playing the game...

The big mistake most people make… Is that they think confidence is something you get from somebody else. In other words… They think other people need to give them their approval for them to be confident. And the reason they constantly feel stuck in life is cause they keep sitting back waiting for an approval that ain’t never coming. Let me be real with you… The only thing you really need to be worried about is how you feel about yourself. Cause true confidence doesn’t come from the outside....

Don’t call yourself lazy. You’re not lazy. You’re just confused. I’ve been there. Trying to figure out what I could do to make the most money, that I would actually enjoy doing and not feel like I was slaving my life away. But now, I see things a different way. I’ve finally realized… Your passion is already in you. It ain’t something you find by thinking. It’s something you find by doing. And the good thing for you, is that you still got time. The best thing you can do for yourself right now...
