"Try, Try, Try again"


"Everything that happens happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so."
- Marcus Aurelius



I find this to be so due to my personal experience and analyzing my present. Everything I've been through prepared me for this present moment. We have free will and the decisions we make gives us experience and knowledge. For example, when we were children and understood right from wrong some of us were drawn to the dancing blue and orange light or the red eye on the stove. Your guardian said "no" but you were determined to touch it, at least I know I was. My doctor said this was an early sign of my future obstacles. He said since I touched it I showed early signs of rebellion, ambition, persistence and independence along with some other hogwash. If you didn't touch the amazing flame or red eye congratulations woo who. He said if I touched it more than once I had serious issues, I'm unsure if I did. The point is once I learned it was HOT, I was aware and careful ever since.
"Nothing happens to any man that he is not formed by nature to bear."

- Marcus Aurelius


Experience doesn't have to come from an event you've personally experienced. Experience can come from the advice of someone who did or didn't experienced a particular event. Experience can come from a story or event you seen or heard someone else experienced whether T.V., radio, internet, magazine, etc. Experience can also come from common sense. From experience comes knowledge and than wisdom but it's one thing to have wisdom and another thing to be wise. Wisdom means "the quality or state of being wise; knowledge of what is true or right coupled with just judgment as to action" Wise means "having the power of discerning and judging properly as to what is true or right; possessing discernment, judgment, or discretion. 2.) characterized by or showing such power."

"Let it be your constant method to look into the design of people's actions, and see what they would be at, as often as it is practicable; and to make this custom the more significant, practice it first upon yourself."
- Marcus Aurelius

Having the experience and knowledge, to this day I still don't utilize my wisdom and make wise decisions. Sometimes there are no negative consequences, just fun and more experience but the keyword is sometimes. "Sometime" is not "all the time" which means it's just a matter of time, in my opinion of course. I've experienced first hand by continuously putting myself in the same negative situation, I've decreased my odds of a positive out come but not permanently of course. I continuously experience to this day what HOT is. My doctor says Ben Franklin and Rita Mae Brown stated "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different

results." I told him my teacher stated my kindergarten teacher, Ms. Evans, stated "Try, Try, Try again." My doctor calls it insanity, I call it determination. I'm was raised and taught to not be a quitter, I think majority of us were. I can't say to give up if something your attempting that isn't working for you or your not good because of Colonel Harland David Sander. Colonel Sanders is the founder of KFC who is rumored to have created over 1000 recipes before the winning formula was found. Thomas Edison attempted to invent the light bulb over 10,000 times and didn't really invented. The point is were they insane? Maybe they were but so what, they were successful.

"Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present."

- Marcus Aurelius



Some of us have to go through a dramatic or tragic event to change or quit. Some don't, like the ones who never touched the flame or the red eye, because they feel it's not worth it. Few never quit and literary "try, try, try again" until the get it or die, which very comes first. Experience teaches and knowledge is what learned. So abuse your free will my friends, reach for your dreams and "try, try, try again"until it becomes a reality.

"Execute every act of thy life as though it were thy last."
- Marcus Aurelius

I need a Hobby..."bout dat life"...Currently

Sometimes there has to be a dramatic event in order for a much needed dramatic change. During recovery you undergo medications to keep you stable, then treatment to draw you off the medication and finally therapy. The medications are good but can become addictive, treatment can take years or as little as hours and physical therapy can last all your life or less than a month. I can't take medication so I don't need treatment which leaves me to physical therapy. I've have decided to pick up a hobby, writing. I started this blog but didn't follow through mainly because I picked another hobby and basically didn't pace myself. This time I will start another blog focused on Short stories and/or series, I haven't decided yet and maintain this blog. I will keep you posted on the short story Blog Site, now back to the regular broadcasting blog...

WTF is up with people talking about they "bout dat life"? I'm talking about the ones who don't have no dope, never sold dope or even have a hustle SMH. On top of them being "bout dat life" they don't have no money LMFAO. Don't get it confused getting money or materials from your mom, family, friends, associates and co workers IS A BLESSING it doesn't make you a hustla or "bout dat life." It's what you do with it and what you do that makes you "bout dat life" i.e Flip, Re-up, Rob, Steal, Kill. If you have a job sorry your not "bout dat life" but if you have a job and hustle on the side i.e not legit then you "bout dat life." That's just my opinion. WTF is up with people saying someone isn't "bout dat life" but then say "I don't judge nobody...don't judge me...you shouldn't judge people" LMFAO OMG What??? I use to Judge people especially when they say BS like this topic but I evolved. I'm no better than any one walking this earth so if you don't affect me in a negative way, "I F**ks with you", "The Long way, The Strong Way, Always but the Wrong Way." Even if you "bout dat life" SMH "do you" Get your paper I don't knock you.

OMG this week was cray...It started on Tuesday and I don't know when it will end but I do know it's not forever. SMH I didn't think I would be where I'm at now but I'm not complaining. Even though it effected me in a negative way I'm rebuilding and I'm slowly still progressing. I learned another lesson in life which I knew and heard for years but didn't full understand. "God blesses the one who has his/her own" SMH Amen. I've made mistakes and repeated the same mistakes until I got it right but you live and you learn. Now I'm in a situation where I didn't want to be in the first place SMH sharing an apartment but since I was in denial aka "love" SMH I'm definitely where I didn't want to go back, sharing a room not by choice. "It is what it is and it isn't forever" and on the upside my roommates are positive and Ex Cons fresh out from 10 years plus. Actually Everybody in the building are Ex Cons fresh out except me LMFAO. Feels like I'm "behind the walls" again but "it is what it is and it isn't forever." I'm some what thankfully because I'm not dead and I'm not behind the walls plus I'm sober for the first time in over 10 years...Yea I know over a decade. I still want to F**king DRINK LMFAO does that make me alcoholic???

Everybody stay safe, drink and smoke responsibly LOL, reach your goals, stay confident and ambitious. Leave a comment or a like...Whats your hobby? Old or New. Till the next Post STAY ADVENTUROUS
