I used this title based upon RAW is WAR...WWE...from my kid days...(guess it's good to site my references huh) LOL! They say that family is all you need, but at times…family can be your own worst enemy! You would think that they would be your front line of support, but the competition involved to “be the best” or “beat one another to the trophy of claim to fame” is the case when you deal with envy, spitefulness and most notibly pride! Sometimes, they want to see you fail, in order to…make themselves/children prevail/look favorable and are no different than friends…or should I say frenemies…you know…those who are friends, but in disguise wear Cobra Commanders mask…or play Hasbro’s Destro (set to sabotage and destruct your life at all cost) or wait…how bout Zartan…you know the guy who wore disguises and fooled folks….blah…blah…blah…you get the gist! Anyhow, a friend of mine noticed this within their family and asked my advice…and I told him to keep on trucking! Be that silent sniper or tree that no one hears fall in the forest. There is no need to brag about your accomplishments…be humble…smile, wave and enjoy the escapade. Use your surroundings to fuel your hopes and dreams and know that God blesses you among other measures! Your personality is very well critiqued by those around you…so your work speaks volumes within itself, so never allow family or friends to get in the way of who you are by not recognizing you/your accomplishments! In short...BE THE TREE…or rather…the flower…that bloomed in a dark room…Hidden gems are the best to find and are more surprising than one may ever know! Life also has a way of coming full circle among us and those that never noticed you before, will ultimately be those that are the frontrunners saying that they know you later on. Now, here's the second half of the discussion...never...I repeat...never rub it in their face, because what God giveth...he also taketh away! My advisement to those family members built on outdoing one another...wake up...smell the aroma of success in your blood! Know that your gene pool is successful, therefore you should be proud and never echo the words..."he/she was the first to accomplish..." or use a measuring stick between each child associated w/ the other. Life is not about crashing others hopes and dreams...nor is it about competing for position for favortism or hierarchy. Life is short...and last I checked...everything you earn in life...does not exist when you demise...you can't take it w/ you, when you close your eyes....forever.
