Are You Listening?

Are you listening? 

Sometimes, your circumstances and situations can talk to you

How you respond is how you are not how you hear

How you are influences how you hear

If you are big, you respond big when circumstances talk to you

If you are small, you respond small

Sometimes, situations tell you to be economical, but you talk to it based on who you are and not what you hear

This is why some people respond to others by asking if they know who they are...

In a nutshell, don't let circumstances dictate who you are to you!

A notorious lecturer came to class one semester and barked at his students, threatening that his course was going to be the hardest they had ever written and guaranteed them carryovers.

Half of the students got scared and went privately to sort(bribe) him, some intensified their already intensive reading habits.

After the exams, all of them that sorted him got F's.

All of them, no exceptions.

They all failed because they had already programmed their minds that they couldn't pass without sorting, he returned the monies paid to him by calling all the students out in front of the lecture hall and revealing how much they bribed him with...but the students that didn't sort but studied hard, got A's and B's.

Some people are making more money this period, while others are losing their jobs or getting a huge pay cut.

When circumstances talk to you,  respond big not because you can but because you are!

I have made more money this period from taking on freelance writing and other auxiliary jobs I didn't have time to focus on before Covid19.

Besides my book "Water and Fire," I write professional resumes, comedy skits, brand copies and social media web contents

Situations and circumstances told me that the world is bleeding, but I responded by growing a thicker skin. 

I cannot bleed because I cannot be cut

Most people say it's not the size of the dog in the fight that matters but the size of the fight in the dog...

I say, "It is not the size of the man in the street that matters, it is the size of the street in the man that matters!!!"

Sometimes, until you get tired and say, I either move up or I move out of the way, you will keep making excuses to be small.

Let someone encounter you and be awed!

The world shouldn't happen to you, you should happen to the world! 

My bestseller "Water and Fire" is coming out on Amazon soon.

For those of you that haven't gotten your copy but have paid, you will get it soon.
