What up Playa ?
As you read this you’re thinking, “I want to score, not find out who I am. Plus anyway, I know who I am, I’m …(please enter you name)…. F this cat.”
Socrates said "Man, know thy self". Your name is not who you are. Your flesh, your residence, your friends are not who you are. Puzzled ? I was when it dawned upon me.
What I want you do today, is go into your bathroom, when you are free for a long length of time. Stare into your own eyes deeply. And ask the question, ‘Who am I ?’. When I first did this, I couldn’t eve look myself in the eyes. I avoided looking at myself! How unconfident is that? After minutes (but what felt like hours), of clearing my mind while I continually asked the question to myself. I was confidently looking at the man in the mirror saying, “I am a MAN. I’m not perfect. I’m skinny, got a few pimples on my face. I have the funniest looking rabbit teeth. My ears are not completely the same shape. I have skinny legs. I have a slighty crooked d***”, the list of thing is endless. But, even though I realized these things which previously made me feel inadequate, I sadi to myself genuinely, “F*** IT ALL ! THAT’S ME. THIS IS ME. WITH ALL MY SHORTCOMINGS. BUT WITH A LOT OF GOOD THINGS ABOUT ME. AND I’M GOING TO STOP LOOKING AT WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME, AND CONCENTRATE ON WHAT’S GOOD. I LIVE ONLY ONCE, WILL I STOP LIVING BECAUSE OF THESE ? NO ? MACHISMO YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE, NOW BE…”
That’s what we all must do. Live!! F that your not as rich as the next man, or that your d*** isn’t the largest, or you’re not Tyson Beckford or Brad Pitt, or that you’re not the best at whatever it is you do. You are you. Brad Pitt could have an accident messing up his good looks, ‘money come money go’ .My point being look into yourself for happiness (if it really exists, since it to is a mind set). Always remember perception is reality, which is said in every good post here.
To quote Micheal Jackson from his less scandalous day , “I looking at the man in the mirror/ I’m asking him to change his ways…”
BE ALL YOU CAN BE, COZ WHEN YOU DIE YOU’LL NEVER GET A SECONG CHANCE!
Gentlemen, Macismo has left the building [4 now]. And thaks to all of you guys for posting, a lot of the posts have changed my view of life, and in turn helped me improve to levels you wouldn't believe in the areas of work, friendships, play, and last and least women
