Money Book
It was a typical day in the city of brotherly love. Winter was starting to come to an end. Lola has been grateful for the winter but is happy to see spring come. She has been going through tough times financially but has been keeping a smile on her face anyway. Things could be worse she thought to herself. I have much to be grateful for.

Don't be strong. Be fluffy.

What the hell was I thinking? I know right, a good question I ask myself a million times a day, as I'm sure we all do at some point in time.

SELF IMPROVEMENT
Everyone wants to become successful in life but no one wants to fail, but why? Why people are afraid of failure? Now-a-days, people think that they have to make a big jump like a tiger to reach top~level position. According to them, it is very easy to have a successful life. They see other people's success and feel jealousy. They just see the front side of a person's life but they do not know how much struggle he/she has done to become successful. How many times he/she has to face failure in life? Did they stop their struggle? Did they become the victim of inferiority complex?

How Old Will You Be?
What is it you are wanting to do? What calling on your life are you ignoring? What excuses are you making as to why you haven’t started writing that book? Why haven’t you sent out your resume or started that business you’ve been dreaming about? Why didn’t you enroll in classes and go back to school?

I Gave Up Social Media for 30 Days
Whether we are aware of it or not, social media has become a key component of our lives. It fills the gaps in activity throughout the workday and multiple hours in the evenings; the typical American spends an average of 123 minutes, or 2 hours and 3 minutes, on social media sites per day. This statistic is astounding because so many people, myself included, complain of not having enough free time during the week. Think about it, if we cut out social media, we would gain an average of 861 minutes of free time per week. It was upon realizing this that I resolved to cut social media out of my life for 30 days. The results were surprising and amazing as I was better focused, more grateful, and more connected to myself and my surroundings.

I ran for Mayor of Detroit on the Bus. LET NOTHING KILL YOUR SPIRIT ✊🏾
The first time I ran for Mayor I was at the lowest point of my life. I was fired from my job at D15 possibly from the direct request of the incumbent mayor of Detroit Mike Duggan. This was the first time I truly lost everything. The only way I could fight back or at least the only way I felt like I could fight back was to run for the city’s highest public office so I could help people that have lost everything and others who are oppressed. At first people laughed and said I was arrogant and crazy to think I would make a good mayor even though I completely changed my life as an adult from everything I knew for sure could make me money in a fast way to fight the good fight. Most of the people who laughed at me had a dead end job or they earned a decent living at the plant but they were terrible at managing money.

What is scaring me?
What is scaring me? Well, let's see, there are loads of things that scare me, and many of my fears are self-inflicted, and I know what to do about most of them. Some of the things that scare me are letting go of past hurts, past failures, rejection, and loss of friends or family members. Just recognizing when to let go of things that I already know are not good or healthy for me. I don't particularly appreciate feeling like I have failed in any area of my life, but it is often problematic. I don't like rejection because the more I get those feelings of rejection, I know sooner or later I will lose sight of what is important to me, and this is not an option for me.

You Lack Nothing.
Do you feel like you lack in your life? This is an interesting question because, for years, I always thought that I lacked something in my life. It didn't matter how big or small it was, and I knew that I lacked everything because of someone else. I didn't know that I had the power to control many things, but when you are a child, you don't know all of this stuff. You have to depend on the adult in the situation and hope that they tell you the truth about things in this world. Being that I come from a traumatic childhood, it is no wonder that I struggled and suffered long years of not measuring up to the world's standards. Please don't assume that it's my fault that I was a victim but let the adults tell it to me. It is my fault because I exist. I lacked self-esteem, self-love, encouragement, motivation, and positivity.
