Brosk Phille Stayin Strong I went to Popeyes earlier with Tre. We pulled up looking at those prices and he said “Daddy I think we need to go somewhere else. I don’t know where I’m getting dinner for six at. I thought back to our conversations about that damn Publix Chicken and we ain’t going nowhere else for fried chicken! Before I got to the end of the parking I looked at Tre and said, I know where we goin!!!😤
I could always count on You for a suggestion…”Man If I was you T-Lee…Fill in the blank!

You would think choosing happiness is the easiest thing to do. BUT we CRAVE Drama!!! Simple and plain, we have to go the hard route. Next time think long-term and choose virtue over vice. Remember, you can only choose your response to any situation.

This morning I sent my little philosophers to public school for the first time! I think they’re happier about not having to wear Uniforms anymore! Lol

There is a saying that I heard from managers and other people before I began my journey into the Stoic philosophy. That saying is, "Control the controllables." I never stopped to see if Controllables is a word but I understood the message. You can only worry about what is in your direct control (Period) Nothing more and nothing less. Spend your energy figuring out what is in your control.

Keeping an untroubled spirit tends to be the hardest thing to do when the mind and hear are out of sync. The battles can become intense and inflamed with every new situation. Finding solace in the breath brings all back into alignment. Taking a breath provides a way to pause the universe and see everything as it is. Time is a great tool to use wisely.

In my Erykah Badu voice:" Wait did you feel that?" I mean this one cuts deep...Real DEEP! Who feels like they keep wanting more and more to no end? This is the programming. Now we can see why we are poor mentally, physically, and financially. A simple life leaves us wanting only what we need with minimal desire. This lowers our expectations and eventually leaves us with a greater peace of mind. Ultimately this leaves us happier and MORE virtuous. This is the purpose of Stoicism!

We have all heard the term, everything happens for a reason. In the Black Community, we say God will never give. you more than you can handle. Well its safe to say that Epictetus was where they got that saying from! In the hood we often look at everything happening to us as the end of the world. But some mystical magical way we pull out of the nose dive and keep it in the air. There is a reason for that. That reason is because everything thing that happens to us is happening for us. Hard times only make us stronger and wiser when we free ourselves of the victim mentality. Next time you are going through it, stop, breathe, don't be the victim, and seek the lesson so you can be the Victor!!!

So often we believe the prize is more important than the Journey, so we end up taking the easy way out. Seneca states that we can embrace the journey and all that comes with it. It has always been those rough spots that make us better than we were yesterday, even if it is just 1%. Not giving up increases our courage, our wisdom, our fortitude, causing us to become greater than we ever could have imagined. That's why we honor our ancestors and all the sacrifices they made for us.



In this quote, Seneca speaks to how our greatest changes come when we realize we are about to lose our lives. Promises of all kinds, along with the most heart-felt deals to our God. So he recommends that we think like we have reached the end of our lives and, "Go for Broke" grinding to get what our heart desires. What are you waiting for...The Last Breath!!!
