Take what you have been given and work the hell out of it!
This is who we are as a people and how we do the damn thing!
From our beginnings as sons and daughters of slaves without a voice, to President of the Mother Fucking United States of America!
How is that for Humble Beginnings!
There was a time we were not told ” Son. Daughter. You can become President of These Here United States of America”.
Today. It is a given.
Hold up!
Wait a minute!
I would be wrong not to remember, and celebrate, The Miss Shirley Anita Chisholm, the first black candidate in 1972 to run for President of The United States of America!
Not only the first woman ever! but A Black Woman!
Hell yes, I voted for her!
She was the first Black Woman Elected To Congress!
She served seven terms as Congresswoman before running for President of These Here United States of America!
Descendant sons and daughters of slaves, your beginnings may be humble but you are an amazing, fearless, spirited, Blessed, extraordinary people!
And don’t you ever forget it!
Taking it back even further, your beginnings were not ever humble.
You have always been sons and daughters of Royalty.
Your fore parents were Kings and Queens throughout the lands of African and what was formally known as Canaan, now known as the land of Israel, which originally started out as one land.
Ain’t nothing humble about you my people!
When you know where you come from, and you embrace the power you have always had in your genetic make up, you will never be defeated no matter how many times you might fall down.
Just get the fuck back up and keep on going!
We have never been quitters.
That is not a part of who we are.
It is not what we do.
There is no need to mention athletes or entertainers here.
We excel in every area of life imaginable!
Always have!
Always will!
When we look around us, it can be easy to forget who we are.
It is easy to forget who I am.
Where I come from.
How I got here.
All I have accomplished!
It is so much easier to see what I have not yet done while forgetting all of the many accomplishments I have already made.
It is much easier to marginalize our successes than it is to celebrate them.
It is because we know we are designed for greatness.
Feeling less than, in any area, can derail us and take us off our course.
Only for a moment.
Sometimes shit needs to happen so we can sit the fuck down and take a look at who and how we have been being.
You may have stumbled onto a path that doesn’t feel as good as it should, to make you think about, and remember your not as humble as you think beginnings, and who you really are.
My people!
There is not any thing you cannot be, do and have.
Let us rise up, fix our sight on our desire, and go get it.
We do this day, in and day out any way.
Do it with intention.
Do it with purpose.
Do it for a reason.
Do it because it feels good.
Do it because you simply can not, not do it.
So much for Humble Beginnings My People!
Remember!
Royalty and greatness runs in your blood and is who you are!
Heart. Base. Sharing
Peace. Love. Blessings.
