"Eyes low, I'm so loaded. Eyes, pose bitch!" -Pose, Rihanna

No matter how many times it happens, I cannot grow comfortable with doors being slammed in my face. Opportunity is rarely just come across and more likely than not must be searched for. How do we do it, though? How do we go from setting countless limitations on ourselves because that is what our environment or relationships have called for perpetually throughout the years?

Clean up.

Everything and everyone negative, let them go. Be frank with yourself. Learn and acknowledge all the ways in which you are toxic to yourself as well as others.

Get antsy.

Complacency is what keeps us in bondage. As people, we have to understand that change is something inevitable, but that does not mean it should not be consciously executed.

Be quiet.

Everyone is not entitled to your goals and dreams. If their field of vision is not as broad as yours, you are just speaking meaningless garbage, and they will not hesitate to let you know so.

Cry.

It does not equate to weakness. If anything, it removes build-up that could not be washed any other way.

While 2018 is practically over before it even started, I hope that you all do understand it is not too late to get started on those resolutions, to finally work things out with that person, to get started writing that book, get that gym membership, or even to pray if you are feeling like you have strayed from your spiritual health. These are trying times, and the only way to overcome so much hate is with love, dedication, consistency, and action because love alone does not mean you cannot kick ass or scream or fight for what you believe in. Be blessed, bees.
