You Just Keep Living Long Enough..

I remember when I was young I thought I knew everything about everything. No matter what the topic or situation was, not unlike most kids, I thought my G-Ma had no idea what was the best choice for me and/or no idea what she was talking about. Never did I question her, for fear of losing my breath when she chopped me in my throat. But, you couldn't tell me anything. I remember vividly, having conversations with my G-Ma about everything from church to women. She would end all our discussions by saying, "You Just Keep Living Long Enough and you will I am right."

Of course as a kid, with an adolescent thought process, no one could've imagined that their parents would end up being right about 99.9% of the time. My G-Ma use to tell me about my so-called friends, my attitude and especially my affinity for women (thanks dad.) But, just like most of you, the kid wasn't trying to hear it. And as always, she would say, "You Just Keep Living Long Enough." Boy, was she on point. While I am not sure I have still been Living Long Enough, I do know that if I knew a lot of the things I know now, I probably could've saved myself a lot of heart ache and pain. But such is life. What happens to us, is suppose to happen, unless we make choices that lead us a stray or horribly misguide us.

I write today, to encourage all of you to be more aware of the things you do and say to others. Also, take a moment out of your busy day to talk to your younger sibling(s), nephew/niece(s) and/or a student of yours. Especially those who may not be making the best choices in life. There is no need to scold them, but simply give them a piece of knowledge like my G-Ma gave to me. Tell them, "You Just Keep Living Long Enough, either you will end up a failure or you can live right into your Destiny and become a Success." If you are one of those people who think you have it all figured out or know everything about everything. Today I say to you "You Just Keep On Living Enough..."
