So here’s the thing: Time flies when you’re having fun, when you’re being stagnant or when you’re playing the game. 8 years ago I didn’t have a plan but I had dreams. I had dreams of one day remodeling my beige ass home. I had dreams of having a successful career in television or public relations and also aspired to one day becoming a makeup artist. 8 years ago, I was in Brooklyn hyyyyype af, with high hopes and a sense of security when the first Black Man was elected President of the United States.
As I listened to President Obama’s Farewell Address last night it got me to reflecting…
I watched how Aunt Chelle Chelle (in my head) got bomber by the day, taking a stance on education, health initiatives and on every magazine cover she graced; Malia and Sasha grew up in front of our eyes and Barack worked his plan as a leader, husband and father.
Aside from watching that family spend damn near a decade in that house I also got older, wiser and better. My vocabulary increased, my network increased, I fully invested in my artistry, I got hella stamps in my passport, my book collection has grown, i’m stepping into my purpose and my outlook on life has changed along with a host of other things.
So as I take a step back and really go through my last eight years with a fine tooth comb I can say that just like the 44th president, I have made some strides, put in work but most importantly believed in myself. Now that I know my purpose and qualities I can create a plan for the next 4 years and look forward to reflecting on my accomplishments with this other dude.
A few pieces of Weezdom:
• The world is full of folks who wonder, folks who wander and folks who play!
• Find yourself, choose yourself and tap into your passion.
• Create a strategic plan, so when the next term is complete you can say you played the game of life and not just watched another family do it.
