Some things get clear real quick while others take time to blossom. We realize how shT connects in retrospect without going back piecing the puzzle pieces together.
I'm about a third of the way through the Rich Dad, poor Dad book already and I've also been doing a lot of reading online with all of my recent free time. Some sht really is apparent only when you have time to reflect, reassess, and redo with hindsight. I've read a couple of things online that struck a nerve.
Being true. My man HC lays it heavy in response to an anonnymous commenter. Basically, the premise of of his retort is why should you have to shed your exoskeleton to blend in? Why woudl you sacrifice you who are and what you rep to fit a certain mold or avoid being typecast. As a matter of fact, fitting the stereotype in theory, but shattering it in reality is the ultimate come-up, no?
But then my man conscious decides to regain his consciuusness and become re-inspired. His op-ed letter to the editor is brillaint in its sublte kick to the gut way of articulating the angst of peoples without hood sensibilities sans the criminality. Then, upon learning of the death of one of the The Wire's guest stars, I had the chance to read more about writer and producer Ed Burns. Truly some real talk going on right here. The thought process that I've observed throughout the show's run has been simply engaging for someone like me who can identify with many of the character's and the many interrelated plotlines that exist. I'm going to have to give teaching some serious thought. Although my preparation pales in comparison to those who truly have it in their heart to be a teacher and go through all of the formal training and certification and test-taking, it still sits in the back of my mind.
But this shT really has me thinking now. I'm trying to piece my life's puzzle piece together one by one and while being careful not to make the wrong decisions, sometimes taking to long to make a decision could be the wrong decision. Feel me? So with all of this career talk and education talk and financial talk swirling through my head, I'm trying to make sense of it all and figure out my course of action. It's a seemingly continusous uphill battle of balancing priorities, fears, desires, lusts, wants, needs, and happiness. Which side will prevail is anyone's guess. Here's to hoping I figure some of this shT out in less than 364 days.

I'm reading the book now, too. I was recommended this book many moons ago, but it wasn't until this point in my life that I actually feel like I'm able to get something out of it. Hindsight...The book inspired me to write a detailed list of my personal, career and relationship goals. Like Con, you know that lately I have been truly uninspired. My head was muddied up with BS, lost goals, unrealistic future goals, other people, etc. I'm realizing that sometimes you have to go through a moment of unclarity inorder for everything to become clear...you feel me? At least for me, the lack of inspiration has inspired me. I'll talk more about that later on my blog...
interesting, but this is no time to be uninspired.
My point EXACTLY!
