#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...
Hi, my Brothers; I have not posted anything in a couple of days. I was going to write about something different today. However, I saw this video and I had to share it. The anger and outrage I have can not be calculated because this video is too outrageous to believe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJhIN0gUN30 The video link above will direct you to Youtube. Where it shows a video of four Young Brothers being harassed and thrown out of Walmart. It further shows one of the Young Brothers being arrested. They were not harassed and then arrested for Robbery or Theft; but for "JUST HANGING OUT AND SHOPPING TOO SLOW." Yes you heard me, for going to slow in the store. Now this I can't believe. Maybe something else will come out and show otherwise. However, if this was the Young Brothers only "behavior"; then this arrest and event is truly hard to believe. For anyone who has ever grown up in any city in the world, you know summer are boring. Now, ...
