Poem
The most efficient way to change your life is by changing your life, rearrange your life, architect your existence, it is as simple as this, Think about a seed If you plant a seed, and it doesn't grow no matter how much you try to toil, You mustn't blame the seed Because the fault lies with the soil which is the foundation, it is the same as if you build the house on a weak foundation, it will collapse and perish The topic of life after death isn't what I'm here for But that of life before death, From birth to death Your life existence Is the total sum Of every choice you ever had to make Science estimate that the average person Makes about 35000 choices per day But unfortunately, I don't believe so Because if people made That many conscious choices every day. that means their lives will be different But sadly, most people are so asleep With their heads down. They're moving so fast that they don't see Their choices are made on their behalf Let me be clear The number one predictor of how long you will live is first your blood pressure, Followed by exercise, then genes With another, which is none of those Because the real truth is, How you will live is determined by your zip code, because your opportunities Determines your possibilities, not your genes. Your map determines what you get to see Because life is not like a box of matches but it was more like a restaurant And choices are quite limited to what's on the menu? What am I trying to say? I'm saying this, If you want to consume the real food of life, Then you must have the courage To order off the menu, let me spell it out for you Move, travel, explore, create, change Change your environment Escape the menu your comfort zone I know it is challenging. No one said it would be easy. But sometimes, we must cut a finger to save the arm Sometimes you have to cut friends and family And believe me, it will be an emotional rollercoaster But to survive, you must hang with people With a common future like you You must change your I will to I have Yeah, not just a common past, don't worry about your mistakes, as they say Sometimes you do win And other times you lose, but do learn This I can't confirm second chances do exist But I can confirm that the changed you Need to make an alternative choice Decide on a fresh path And when your time comes, I pray that at the mid-end of your B & D, Your Line Is Not just a dash, but a squiggle Inspired by Prince Ea
