The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

I touched down in 86, knew I was a man by the age of 6⁠⁠⁠
Put my trust in God to keep my ties solid and my paper thick ⁠⁠⁠
He said “Roger That”, I’ve been Gucci ever since ⁠⁠⁠
⁠⁠⁠
Today is officially my birthday and I’ve learned a lot over these last 35 years but one thing has become abundantly clear. I have to stop treating life like it’s always gonna be there because one day… it won’t. ⁠⁠⁠
⁠⁠⁠
Life is now and until that day comes best believe I’m making the rest of whatever I’m blessed to have on this earth unforgettable. The love has been tremendously felt over the last few days leading up to now and I really just wanna thank y’all from the bottom of my heart for making this birthday a very memorable one for me.⁠⁠⁠
⁠⁠⁠
I appreciate it more than you’ll probably ever know. ⁠⁠⁠
⁠⁠⁠
Peace and much love 2 ya!

Have you y’all ever driven past a new building being constructed & for so long it looks like nothing is going on at all? It’s like literally for an eternity you’ve been driving by & it feels like they’ve been working on the same thing over & over & over again for months on end to the point where you’re like is this building ever gonna be finished??? ⁠
⁠
Then one day you’re driving by & you start to see the framing going up & the building finally begins to take shape. Then what feels like in a blink of an eye the entire building is up, done, people are moving in & you can’t believe how fast they completed everything!⁠
⁠
That’s because for so long the foundation was being laid. ⁠
⁠
The foundation is the part that nobody sees. ⁠
⁠
The foundation is the part that most people don’t care about. ⁠
⁠
The foundation is the part that takes the longest to construct, to get right & also takes the longest because it has to settle in. ⁠
⁠
It’s the part that nobody ever talks about, it’s not sexy, & often times it’s overlooked but let me tell you a few things that a foundation does. ⁠
