This article totally rocks: How to be THE LUCKIEST GUY ON THE PLANET in 4 Easy Steps
Like...I LURVED IT!
Probably because I feel it validates a lot of what I think as it relates to how I choose to live my life and the things I need to focus on in order to continue to get better.
Let's take his three goals. That is soooooo me! I just want to be happy man. And I want Robby to be happy. I don't want to EVER be unhappy! SERIOUSLY. I want my family, framily and friends to be happy. Hell...I want everybody to be happy as long as I don't have to be UNhappy for them to be so.
Is that confucious?
Might be.
Regarding his physical mantra? Well...yall know my personal ones already. KEEP YA STRIDE STANK! and BE MORE VAIN!
His emotional one? ME.TO.A.T!
Emotional– If someone is a drag on me, I cut them out. If someone lifts me up, I bring them closer. Nobody is sacred here. When the plane is going down, put the oxygen mask on your face first. Family, friends, people I love – I always try to be there for them and help. But I don’t get close to anyone bringing me down. This rule can’t be broken. Energy leaks out of you if someone is draining you. And I never owe anyone an explanation. Explaining is draining.
Another important rule: always be honest. Its fun. Nobody is honest anymore and people are afraid of it. Try being honest for a day (without being hurtful). Its amazing where the boundaries are of how honest one can be. Its much bigger than I thought. A corollary of this is: I never do anything I don’t want to do. Like I NEVER go to weddings.
I do AB-SO-LUTELY nothing I don't want to do. NOTHING. EVER. NEVER. Ain't gonna happen. If I'm there, it's because I want to be there. If I'm talking to you, it's because I want to talk to you. If I'm doing it, it's because I want to do it. I DO WHAT I WANT!
Woe is me people? Ya gotta pick your battles. If someone you love is going through something...be there for them right up until you figure out that hell...they ain't TRYING to do better. And then? You put some distance betwix yall cuz you can't help someone who isn't trying to help themselves and you need all of your energy to focus on YOUR life plan.
Cuz I know ya got one right?
o_0 if ya don't.
Folks know not to ask me questions they really don't want the answer to. I don't give advice unless I am SPECIFICALLY asked. Why? Because I am going to answer you honestly based on my thoughts and experiences. That's all I got to go on. What I know. If what I know doesn't coincide with what YOU know...there could be issues with your feeling some kinda way. I'm not trying to hurt you because, again, if I didn't want to talk to you...I wouldn't be and I go out of my way to NOT hurt people. Also...I feel like if whenever I'm talking to you I feel the urge to be mean...I already know I shouldn't be talking to you cuz really...how difficult is it to be nice? If it starts being hard...there is something going on and I know I need to stop, drop and figure it out ON.MY.OWN cuz it doesn't have anything to do with you at that point. That's MY issue and we all know I am well aware of my issues and many of them...I'm currently not working on. ROFL!
I'm much more focused regarding the mental part of this mantra because I'm dealing with one industry. But yes...I think about, write down, read about and focus on my industry EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.

My spiritual area? Yall would be surprised to find how much I pray. The kid is a praying FOOL! And I don't really pray BEFORE the fact. I figured that out about myself a few years ago. Like...I don't pray for a specific outcome mostly. I pray for my mind to be right and for me to be blessed with discernment as I approach a task. I am extremely THANKFUL in my prayers. I'm extremely GRATEFUL in my prayers. My thought process is that God has given me every.single.thing I need to do what I need to do and I trust Him so when things work out based on my hard work and the hard work of those relationships I've made and nurtured...I thank Him. Last night, several times, I found myself closing my eyes, inhaling and sending God THANKS. Letting him know how GRATEFUL I am.
I mean...I have other stuff too that are my personal mantras. If I can help you...I will but if I don't have the time when YOU need it done, it doesn't mean that I didn't want to help you...it just means that I had other stuff going on and my stuff will ALWAYS be more important.
I don't put myself on the backburner.
I love with ALL of me. If I love you...I fugging LOVE YOU. I'm so loyal it could be considered a weakness but it's not because I'm not going to let you do stoopit ish around me and give you a pass. HELL.NO. People that do that aren't in a relationship (friendship, etc.) for you...they are in it for what you can do for THEM if they give you ridiculous passes.
Seriously.
I'm extremely generous and that's probably why I always have enough. I might not have as much as I could have sitting in the bank because of my generosity...but what I get out of giving is so much more than material. I'm okay with that.
I can and do...talk to ANYBODY! I don't care who you are. I talk to anybody. I don't have a big head and will never have one. I ENJOY talking to people. A couple of weeks ago I had a full blown conversation with a homeless guy. Dude rocked. Know what else he did right? He told his truth TRUTHFULLY.
That shit is hard to do.
I admire that.
Yeah...this article really made me think about a few things this morning and I'm happy Robby found it and sent it to me.
Robby: I found this dude online who thinks pretty much like you.
Me: Is he throwed off?
Robby: Yup.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I love that dude.
