Message to Malik

Reflections…

Everything you’ve done in life to get where you’re at right now, this moment. This very moment. What is circumstance and what is chance? Are you satisfied? Are you regretful? Or are you just….could it be just a case of, it is what it is? Think of all the people you consider close in your life. Now think back 10 years ago. Anything changed? Do your folks hold you up? Empower you? Challenge you? Celebrate your intricacies? Your eccentricity? Do you have a support system? Someone to talk it out with? Someone that listens? Someone to hear? Someone that sees you? Do you support yourself in what you love? Your passion, you art? Self-respect is action. This world, the faster it gets, the more connected it seems, the more distant we become from self, from each other, from the soul- the universal goal. I make this for my Brotha Blake, and tell him- you’re appreciated, acknowledged and respected. For his son Malik, you are loved young black man. Rise up. And be the greatness you are destined to be. The world and its’ treasures are yours. If we just breathe, reflect. Go inside and live a life of love and respect. Don’t be afraid to do you. Be at peace. Walk where few traveled. Demand your prize. Work harder and smarter than anyone else. Be the change, the exception. Be exceptional. Be you. Be luv.
