“101 Simple Truths For A Better Life” Humble The Poet (20) “YOU CAN BE WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT”

 

“In life, if you don’t know who you are, there will be entities, systems, and people to tell you who you are.  Media will subtly jam into your brain, what you should look like, smell like, act like, talk like, walk like, and like in general.  Even if you have a very unique concept of yourself, it’s not set in stone.”  Our personality or core beings are not genetic, and they are not in our blood.  We can change who we are at any moment, no not overnight, but yes it can be done.  I’m working on this daily trust me because deep down I know it’s not concrete.

I find myself at times thinking perhaps I’m too old for change.  Maybe this is who I am and who I will continue to be.  The reality is, this notion that we’re too old for change is ridiculous.  We can change, I will change, I promise you that.  I know what type of person I want to be, and I will become that person, mark my words.  I am a unique individual, you won’t find another Alok anywhere, trust me.  I’m a diamond in the rough, and I did not form from a stencil.  As Steve Harvey always reminds me, we have to be comfortable with the uncomfortable.  I will become the best version of myself.  “I Am Become.”  Let’s continue to avoid those comfort zones, “comfort zones, after all, are the enemy of growth.”  Our goal should be to look back at the present me in lets say 5 years and be happy I/were not longer here.

“We are all a mixture of our nature and nurture, the more we discover those elements, the better we can work at out redesigns”


What parts of you need to b e fed?  What parts need to be starved, and killed off?

  My goal here is to encourage and inspire you through the trials and tribulations of my own life’s journey. They say men are typically socialized to be stoic, rational and are expected to be strong and proud in all aspects of life.  So what happens when that may have been true at one point of your life but today is not the case.  I am seeking transformation, hope, a new beginning, change, comfort, positivity and essentially a new life.   They say the wings of transformation are born of patience and struggle.  Apparently the caterpillar never feared change as it knew to fly, it was the only way.  I am here, moving ahead bravely despite everything that went wrong.  If nothing ever changed, there would be no such things as butterflies, nor Alok.  If you want to fly, give up everything that weighs you down.  How will I know I can fly if I never spread my wings.  I want to feel how wonderful it feels to fly. Wan’t to know something?  We...

“101 Simple Truths For A Better Life” Humble The Poet (32) “COMPARISONS ARE KILLER”

Image
  We can’t and will never be ourselves if we don’t know ourselves, and we can’t know ourselves, if all we know about who we are, is in comparison to others.  We will never know all the problems and stresses that others are going through and some would argue nor do we need to.  My personality type doesn’t always allow this, and to be quite frank, I don’t want to.  I like being a person that people feel comfortable talking to, confiding in, and love helping others whenever and wherever I possibly can.  This doesn’t mean that this is where all my time goes to, it’s vital at the same time to constantly be exploring who we are, especially on the inside. No one is saying it’s ever easy, nothing is.  We constantly see others around us doing amazing things, and it has been culturally engrained into us to try to keep up.  I call total BS here, sorry.  There is nothing to keep up with, and no one person to keep up with.  “Instead of comparing yourself ...

“101 Simple Truths For A Better Life” Humble The Poet (39) “ANOTHER LESSON FROM 50 CENT”

Image
  “Either pray or worry - - don’t do both.” ~ 50 Cent Regardless of your spiritual inclinations, this quote hits a note.  It comes down to your need for control; our need to understand and make sense of things; and our need to NEED.  Our minds are dramatically more complex than other life forms, but that’s not necessarily always a good thing. “We internalize things more and manufacture suffering.  No animals are worried about what time it is, or being late, or even running out of time.   Animals only experience fear in the present, and that fear is what they use to get out of danger.  Our fears plant seeds in our brain to grow into things we have yet to experience or finished experiencing a long time ago.  For reasons like this, we’ve done wonders in the field of suffering.”  We unfortunately don’t have a pill option for this.  Worry exists in the future, and like depression of the past, it can spiral out of control very quickly.  The an...
