It’s so easy to let others bring us down one way or the other, but what about us? Sure, blame could be put on others for our shortcomings to an extent,  but do we ever have the guts to look at ourselves in the mirror and realize one of the biggest culprits can be the same person looking right back at us.

I’ve always been the type of person who would “keep it real,” but how real? But when you listen to the lies the outside world tells you, and then you yourself believe and tell yourself more lies,  who’s really raining on your parade?

It’s long overdue, but no more lies. No more letting others dictate MY life. No more believing the made-up BS that we all tell ourselves and use as an excuse to stay stuck. Sometimes, it almost seems like we WANT to stay in that mindset. Makes no sense if you really think about it.

Time to shut them all up. It’s time to quiet that annoying voice in the back of my head that has been killing my progression for years. It’s poison. It really is. We drink up that poison given to us, and then act surprised when it starts to infect us and things around us….make it make sense.
