A word to the wise...
Brotherly Love. ❥
Have you heard of brotherly love? Brotherly love is respect, loyalty & love shown towards someone else. Like the love that you share with your own blood brother.
Set better examples.
Your kids, nieces & nephews are watching you. Other people's children may look up to you. You're supposed to be a positive role model to them, teach them & show them the right way. Kids are like sponges and they soak up everything that they see & hear. It starts at home. First teach them how to treat & respect you. Show them love, teach them how to be kind & guide them towards greatness.
Use your platforms.
The world is watching. Use your social media, music & influence to be a positive change in the world. The younger generation is easily influenced. Yes, you have probably been through the a lot of turmoil & struggles. But your mouth is very powerful. That's why they say, "Speak it into existence." Your negative mindset can really hinder you. Stop promoting negativity & violence. Be a better role model. Your fans look up to you. If they see you change your life for the better being positive, then they will want to do the same.
Violence isn't the answer.
Treat people the way that you would want to be treated. Think about this. How would it make you feel if someone killed your child, mother, sister, brother or any loved one? Or even your friend? Exactly. Just like you have people who love you, they have people who love them. God said for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. So, what do you think is going to happen if you're out here acting reckless, robbing people, shooting people & everything else? God also said don't repay evil for evil & that the revenge is His.
Learn how to control your anger. Stop being violent in your relationships. Domestic violence is never okay. Learn when to walk away. No matter what situation you're in domestic or not, never let anybody make you feel so mad that you try or do kill them. Do not shoot into homes & cars. Or shoot up anything, period. Kids and innocent people are being shot & being killed. Be the bigger person & walk away. Nothing is worth taking away your freedom. Again, The Lord said love one another & that the revenge is His. Stop letting your anger get the best of you. Keep calm & put the guns down. Learn some anger management techniques. Please breathe deep & think about your consequences. Think about your loved ones who will miss you if you go to prison, it will change your perspective of things.
Again, please breathe deep, keep calm & be the bigger person. I am not making any excuses for anybody. But nobody is perfect. You're not perfect. We all make mistakes. God is merciful. How many times has God forgiven you for your wrongs? Stop letting misunderstandings cost you your life or freedom. If somebody wrongs you, put it in God's hands. He said people who walk away from conflict will be rewarded. Let Him fight your battles. God said thou shall not steal & money is the root to all evil. And money gotten hastily, will not last. Do not rob people or businesses. Put the guns down. Don't rob people at gun point or with any type of weapon, period. Either way, it is not the way.
Sometimes, in life we have to do things that we really don't want to do to get to where we want to be. You have to start somewhere. If you do not conform well to strict schedules, become self-employed. Or work a job until you get your money up to start your business. You never know you might get an investor once they see your drive either way self-employed or a 9 to 5 job. Either way & in the meantime put in a little work. Start somewhere. It's not permanent. It takes money to make money. Invest into yourself. Being a CEO. Now that's the street cred that you want. Everybody is destined for greatness & that includes you. Find a legal hustle. You have it in you. Become an entrepreneur. Find your purpose.
Be the Change.
You are loved. Your family would hate to lose you to violence or prison. Think before you react or do something reckless. Live peacefully & treat others the way that you would want to be treated. Be more positive, loving & kind. Evolve. Don't be the same, be better. Be a better role model. Whether you would want to believe it or not, people look up to you. Set better examples. Do everything with excellence. You never know who you inspire, or who is watching.
So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. James 1:19-20
Pray for your friends & family that are abusers & victims. The Bible states when people come together whole heartily, The Lord begins to make drastic changes in people lives. Two are better than one. And sometimes you need to separate from toxic, unruly & violent friends and family. Be patient & don’t write them off. But love them from a distance until God does His work in them. In the meanwhile, live a joyful & peaceful life.
1 Thessalonians 13-22
13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
16 Rejoice evermore.
17 Pray without ceasing.
18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19 Quench not the Spirit.
20 Despise not prophesyings.
21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
22 Abstain from all forms of evil.
