No Amount Of Hustle Is Ever Enough

-

When i think of hustle, i think of god. I think of christianity, i think of faith. No amount of hustle is ever good enough. Woah...wait a minute, probably thinking this guy be contradicting himself and all of the picture quotes in the whole entire interwebs.

No amount of hustle is ever good enough. You can work, hustle, spend sleepless nights working towards something but then to only realize you didn't achieve what you wanted. How can that be, they say if you give it your all you'll be rewarded....why...?

Well typical answer to that, life ain't fare. Not much reasoning to that answer is there.

No amount of hustle is ever good enough. Hustle on its own ain't enough. You can sit infront of books all day everyday for that big test, read your work, memorize that shit like its a nursery rhyme but the difference between you passing that paper and failing it is in the moment you enter that exam room. No amount of hustle is ever good enough. You need faith. When i talk about faith i don't mean religion but i mean self belief. Trusting in your own abilities, staying in the most difficult of circumstances through hope.

Some situations it wasn't because you where smart that you came through but the fact that you never lost hope. Faith is more powerful than any tool or resource you can think of. Think of a mother with a family and kids and she loses her job. She can't find employement because she doesn't have any form of qualification. She thinks of what are her children gonna eat tonight. She will find a way of feeding her children not because a miracle happened and food just started knocking on her doorstep. She will kneel down in prayer and put her faith in her religion and the rest will follow.

Not all of us are christians and that's reality but faith doesn't only mean in jesus. You find faith through your buddah, your Allah, your ancestors or anything that generates positive energy in your.life.

No amount of hustle is ever enough. You need faith

Don't get me wrong, Men are trash, vile treacherous things that will betray even themselves.a Engineered to want or need women from the day their born. And so from the get go the ball has always been in our court. But we're to busy loathing ourselves and in competition with each other to notice. That discovery and not just the external locus of control has been the source of my many depressions. That all we do on this earth is hurt and be hurt, endure. Tell me what is the meaning of life,  How does the caterpillar metamorph if it is constantly in healing? How does the butterfly relish in kissing flowers when it will either pluck it's wings out? It's self or other animals and forces of nature will do it.  And that ladies and gentlemen is the struggle of the depressed. Futility. What is the point of trying, if the probability of your efforts being thwarted is identical to you succeeding? The metaphor I like using for my depressions...

The world is on a constant change. I guess we all know that by now. Staying focused is very important in this time and age. Because ive seen so many people slip from reality and fall into a endless dream of success. Too many of us procrastinate about life, we sing endless songs of making it big in this world. Not to say procrastinating is wrong, you can do it all day, week, fuck it, you can do it all year if you down for it. But dont slip. When you get an opportunity of doing something and doors open, strike while the iron is still hot. Cliché right? You've probably heard that shit more times than youve lived right? Wrong! Dont let the situations you find yourself in at this very moment be the ones that determine how the rest of your life will be. I think when one feels like the world has nothing to give or offer them, we instantaniously give up and give in to being failures. Always stay focused. What i mean is dont weaken your mental strength, neither should you take...

" You can not use apartheid as an excuse" Excuse me? I don't think you understand what you're saying... a little more than 2 decades later we are expected to forget apartheid forget that that you came to OUR country, OUR continent and had the audacity to deem us inferior. then you proceeded to take from us, in fact steal our livestock , our land, even our liberty, anything you could get your hands on you took from us. We are thieves? well I wonder where we learnt that from. Called us uncivilised, yet YOU had primitive minds that only knew to conquer and divide. Tell me how are we to forget, how you relentlessly tried to destroy our nation, our humanity. You made our ethnicity feel like sin, like the pigment of our skin made us sub-human. Called us vile but you used pseudo science to convince yourselves that you were better. You imposed your religion on us and when we rejected it, you called us Kafers and for years to follow you used such words to torment...
