There’s A Program for That!
Everybody needs a program, y’all — for realz!
You know the cliché about the person who goes into recovery and then starts preaching to the world about it? That’s me AF, an’ I’mma tell you why. When you see a good movie, don’t you wanna tell everybody? When you eat at a good restaurant, don’t you tell all your foodie friends? How about when you go on vacation, land a killer job, or meet somebody amazing? You get my point? Something good happens, you frigging wanna tell the world.
All that aside, fact o’ the matter, y’all preaching about your programs all the time. Whatever you think’s the secret to your joy, you talking about it, or focusing on it, or ignoring shit you “should” be doing for your next fix o’ that shit, whatever the fuck it is. Just with some folks, they program is on purpose. With a lot of mo’ fugs, they been working the same program they whole life, damn near, ain’t got a clue they been doing it.
Get honest, here—what you giving your life too? What you worshipping? What you spend the most time/money on? When I say time/money, what I really mean is life, cause money just a reflection o’ time and time just a mechanical way o’ looking at life in little increments. Is it what you gonna buy next? Is it food? Is it that sexy mo’ fo’ you plan to see later? Is it more money? Do you spend your time worried about time?
Likely, you working something. The question to really ask yourself is, “Is the program I’m working, working?” If the answer is no, then you may wanna consider working a new program. If you still stuck on the fact you ain’t got no program—you don’t need one to balance life and shit—you prolly just working the program of your own ego. So, is it working?
How you know? That’s actually easy. When you shut the rest of the world out, and it’s just you with yourself, what happens? What‘s it like when you stuck someplace, with nothing to do but sit with your damn self? What happens when you think of losing everything? What’s your sense of self worth when everything else been stripped away—money, reputation, relationships, and all your other shit? That, my people, is your answer.
I don’t pretend to know if your answer is good or bad. You know it. So, the next question is, what are you gonna do about it?
