#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.

RIP Muhammad Ali (The Greatest)

As you have heard the sad news by now, the great Muhammad Ali has passed on. He was laid to rest yesterday. When I say passed on, he has moved on to another journey. To another place to inspire, love, encourage, and communicate without bounds or limits. Mr. Ali is free yet again. I don't have to say what Mr. Ali meant to me. Just from past articles, tweets, and videos, you guys already know what he meant to me. He was a inspiration, hero, mentor, and someone to look up to and listen; learning and hanging on to has every word. Even if those words were 50 years old, they still hold relevance to this very day. I am keeping this post short, because no true words can describe what he meant to me, to all of us. However, I will end this post like this. Heroes are remembered, but legends never die. Therefore, he was the greatest legend ALL-TIME. And, he will live on as long as WE as a PEOPLE are still ALIVE!!!!! Rest Easy Champ!!!!!!!

RIP Mr. Dick Gregory

Mr. Dick Gregory was much more than a comedian. To simply say he was a comedian would almost water-down his greatness. The greatness in which he used a comedic style to educate those of various generations and philosophies. Mr. Dick Gregory was a man of intelligence, sophistication, and humor. Mr. Gregory was a truth seeker and one whom understood that a man must always investigate the conspiracy as well as facts written in the open to truly get a possible understanding of this cryptic world. Baba Gregory understood the importance of health and taking care of one's body. He understand the importance of a healthy spiritual life, and having a true connection with the one true universal GOD. And, the importance of being aware of our ancestors whom came before we all did. Furthermore, Mr. Gregory understood the importance of mental awareness, and the idea to continue to read and learn throughout the journey of life. Mr. Gregory activism and platform is beyond great, and very ...
                                                          "#TheFlagMustGo" Growing up, I have seen the Confederate flag so many times I could not count. As, a Young age I knew the Flag was wrong. Then, as I got older I was about to study the origins as well as the very people who created, represented, and coveted the flag; I truly had my answer: The Flag Must Go. Before, I give my opinion; I am going to give y'all unmistakable and unarguable facts. In 1861, politician William Porcher Miles designed the flag. As I studied the very man who created the "confederacy flag." I wanted to understand his doctrine and beliefs. I wanted to see what he wanted to create, pass-down, and strength who's cau...
