#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 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 ...

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...

Short Story of the Fatherless Black Male

I wrote this in the backseat of a car during a road trip. This post may have a couple of grammar errors and a couple of different ideas. But, this is how I truly felt. Let's get into it. I can't sugar-coat it or make it seem insignificant. Point blank, being a young black male without a father sucks. It worse than the stench of rotten eggs, and it feels worse than being hit by a truck at high speed. Being a fatherless male is like having half of your self taken away at birth. Being a father black male means going through life without a round-the-clock mentor, a disciplinary, a friend, a dad. I mean having a mom is a blessing within itself. Most fatherless males usually have a mom. However, if it took two to create, then it is best to take two to mold and build. And, let's be honest, it's some questions no dude feels comfortable or feels right asking their mom. That is just one of the reason why not having a father sucks. At the very least, it is a inconvenien...
