In a Perfect World [Click Here To Read]

When we envision our future we envision a perfect world. No one ever envisions what could go wrong. I don’t blame you, why would you envision things to go wrong in your life? I’m sure we could all agree that in a perfect world we would all envision something different. 

If it was a perfect world 🌎

IF we lived in a perfect world my parents would have stayed together.

IF we lived in a perfect world none of my relationships would have failed.

IF we lived in a perfect world every single business I started would have succeeded. 

IF we lived in a perfect world we wouldn’t lose family members or friends

IF we lived in a perfect world our family wouldn’t be separated.

The list goes on IF WE LIVED IN A PERFECT WORLD. Part of life is learning to move past these things. All the occurrences in my life that sent me into a spiral of sadness and feeling of not wanting to live anymore. There was a feeling in me that didn’t want to let these hurdles stop me but I was at the point of not wanting to live another day. How could I feel like this when there are people begging for another day of life. How selfish of me.

Life isn’t meant to be perfect❤️‍🩹

How cliché it can be but how true it can be. You see, sometimes we may not understand why life puts these obstacles in our way. They can tear us apart into pieces and have us begging for a moment of happiness. I’m not sure why life makes people endure hard times that I can’t even imagine. Part of me wants that perfect life that I envisioned, while the other half believes without these moments of hardship I wouldn’t have been so happy to be alive in other moments.

I’m here to tell a story✍🏼

I’m not here to live a perfect life. I’m here to tell a story. Through all the trials and tribulations I made it here and I can make it further. As 50 cent said “Death gotta be easy, because life is hard.” Part of creating Hustlers Only was to show our youth that their life is important as hard as it can be. Feeling important is part of discovering your hustle. Your hustle will sometimes be the only thing to keep you pushing forward in life. Your hustle is that feeling of wanting more in life regardless of the obstacles put in your way.
