Why We Do What We Do.

When I was about 7 years old. I was on my way home with my dad and two cousins in my dad's Opel Astra when one of my cousins changed the radio station and on came Skee-Lo.
For those who don't remember Skee-Lo, he was the rap artist to made the song "I Wish"
You know...............
 
I wish I was a little bit taller,
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good
I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
and a '64 Impala

Anyway...................
So I was thinking about me back then. I would have never figured out that I would turn up into the person I am today. But I'm grateful for it all.
Throughout the 11 years that have gone by, I have had to make a lot of decisions. Some basic ones and mostly life changing ones. We have all had to make decisions. But the true question is...........
Do we know why we chose what we chose at the time.

My phone (note: I have no mp3 players or iGadgets) has a collection of playlists that I wake up and plan my day to. The playlists are set at random so if I choose anyone, this is how I let it affect my day.
  • The first song is how I treat myself.
  • The second song is how I treat my good people.
  • The third song is how I treat everyone else.
For example.
If you ain't got no money, but you have debts that have to be paid in a very short time period. Play "Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley and see how that makes you feel.

Another thing that crossed my mind was Lil Wayne's Public Service Announcement video on YouTube after the passing of one of the greatest technological pioneer, Steve Jobs.
In which he was simply explaining why we do what we do and how we should do it. This made me very proud to say that I am a Lil Wayne fan and you will find out why I say so if you follow the link below.

So if you choose to do what you do because a certain person/artist/band does it or because it is mentioned in one of your favorite songs. Than you have no need to be ashamed of yourself.

Embrace yourself and your decisions and help yourself reach unknown heights in whatever.

Just Remember..............
Keep Doing You.
