#Don't-Ever-Play-Yourself

" Don't ever play yourself " - DJ Khaled




Yo, what's up my brothers, I come to y'all with something very important. This post will probably be like the 3rd or 4th Brown Brother exclusive from the upcoming book. I'm not sure if this is number three or four, however, I will do probably a couple more just because these lessons feel good.




Anyway, I come to talk about never playing yourself. As a young brother, you can never be a fool. Never playing yourself is basically never acting foolish, making dumb decisions, and being foolish.




See, there will always be chance and opportunities for "Us" to act a fool (just watch Maury or Bill Cunningham Show, however there will be few times were we are intentionally called to be great. Further, when you play yourself, the chances to advance and achieve become much more slimmer than before. 




In addition, this goes for many other things. In relationship, you can't never play yourself. In jobs or school, you can never play yourself. Every action or lack there of, has a reaction.




You say you want good grades, but you play yourself by not studying. You say you want a decent girlfriend, not the self-absorbed and untrustworthy. However, when you get someone decent you cheat. Or as Jamie Foxx so intelligently put it, "Fall for the wrong type." 




See, your playing yourself. You want to be taken seriously, however you let anyone say or do anything to you. See, one thing I learned is this; if you let society treat you like a fool or you play yourself: You will always be a fool or at least seen as one.


And eventually, the opportunities to be a king and the leader of your own life vanishes.




Therefore, don't ever play yourself my brother, the results are tragic.




From Hollywood to the Hell of the Inner City, playing yourself only leads to failure.



In conclusion, my brother know yourself and your worth. Know that you are a King, and never let anyone (including yourself) play YOU!!!!




Because the decisions and choices you make now, will impact your life forever.

FASFA

I try to explore different topics and ideas to discuss/share on the blog. While going through some papers and looking through some stuff, I remember that I forget to write about this topic. Therefore, today we are going to talk about FASFA. First, you may ask, "What is FASFA." FASFA is federal aid or money for going to college. Although they said "federal aid", it is basically tax that is set aside for students who want to go to college, but need money to help pay for college. FASFA is available to students who have need and are looking to attend college (certificate program, associate degree, or 4 year degree). You need to fill out FASFA every year. FASFA should be filled out by any and every student. It is something that will without a doubt helpful in paying for school. A simple summary is basically this: (1) Wait until you or parents file Income Tax (2) Go to this website- https://fafsa.ed.gov/ (3) Create a account (4) Fill out all of the informat...

Personal Finance for Black Males

I don't follow Kanye West on any social media outlet. I don't listen to any of Kanye West music, and when he become "Kanye West Kardishian", I really stopped listening to him. However, every since he was approaching his album release, he has been tweeting like a mad man. He has been trending non-stop on Twitter, and a lot of his tweets have been outrageous. However, one caught my attention and the attention of countless others. He stated in one of his tweets that he is "53 Million Dollars" in personal debt. Now, I think that Kanye is either a good actor or mentally insane. But, either way, if he owes 53 million dollars to anybody then this is beyond shameful. I heard that Kanye is begging Facebook's owner (Mark Zuckerberg) for money and is asking for people to pray for him. Now, I have zero sympathy for Kanye West. But, I do feel that he is not the same Kanye West that everyone respected. He is not the same Jesus Walks, Kanye. But, anyway this mad...
