“Once again, back is the incredible”
– Rakim on “Guess Who’s Back

I’m not quite sure how it happens, but sometimes we get off track. We lose sight of our goals and get deterred by this krazy thing called life. Whether it’s work, school, or just the random surprises that life throws at us, it’s easy to get distracted. And in turn, you think about how you’ve let it get away from you and become deflated…at least that’s what’s happened to me. Well this month, I want to state that I’m recharged. I’ve let the blah-ness go on for too long. Yes Ajaxxx, it’s time to make moves again.

Inspiration

Cause sometimes you just feel tired,
Feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up
But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
And just pull that shit out of you and get that motivation to not give up
And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse

– Eminem on “Till I Collapse

Sometimes I lose focus or get sidetracked. I don’t know why or how it happens, but it does. Maybe it’s people I’m around or maybe it’s just human nature, I don’t know. All I know is, from time to time I need inspiration to pick me back up…and maybe you do too. And so, I put together some tips for inspiration.

Before I get into alllll that though, I’d like to welcome you to the Ajaxxx.com Opinions Column. Whatup everyone! Welcome, welcome. If you’re new to the site, this is the place where I talk about my life and tell you what’s going on. If you’re returning, welcome BACK…you already know the deals. And with the formalities now behind us, let’s get right into it.

So July is my birthday month. And every year, right around this time, I do some self reflection and ask myself if I’ve progressed far enough in life. If I haven’t, I ask myself why not. Lately, I’ve just felt a bit blah…like I’ve been unmotivated and uninspired. Today, I listened to some songs that helped lift me up and raised my spirits. And after that, I really started thinking about being in a rut and what needs to be done to get out of one. I wrote some ideas down and figured I’d share because it might help you too. So here goes…my top ten tips for inspiration.

On the morning of June 12th, I received a Facebook notification to mark myself safe. Safe? Why, I asked. According to FB, there was a terrorist attack in Orlando. That can’t be right. This is Orlando we’re talking about. That kind of stuff can’t happen here. But as I began to watch the news and check my social media accounts, it was true. Orlando was struck by tragedy.

“Talking ’bout progress, I ain’t lookin’ back
You know I run track, try not to get lapped”

– Jay-Z on “What We Talkin’ About”

With change, there comes transition. There’s a period where you’ve got one foot in the past while you’re trying to move forward and it’s not easy. But once you get past transition…that is, once you pull yourself into the present…there comes progression. And progression, my friends, is addictive. Welcome to my life.

What is up world? What’s popping? Welcome to the Ajaxxx.com June 2016 Opinions Column aka the month where I finally catch up (kinda sorta lol) with the posts on this site. For those that’re wondering, this is where I talk about my life and give you a behind-the-scenes look into Ajaxxx. For those that’re returning to the site, welcome back and glad to have you again. And with that said, let’s talk specifically about this progression that I mysteriously alluded to in the intro.

“I’m getting bread while I toast to my accomplishments”
– Dr. Dre on 50 Cent’s “New Day

They say that life is all about changes. If that’s true, then they should also say that life is all about transitions because transitions accompany change. And while change is hard to embrace, transitions are perhaps more difficult. It’s the time when you’re like damn, where am I? It’s unfamiliar footing. And while it can be scary, it can also be exciting. And so, let’s “transition” into this month’s Opinions Column.

Whatup world? First of all, I can’t believe that I’m updating the Opinions Column on the last day of the month. These are supposed to get released at the beginning of each month so this is just krazy. I’m catching up on life so forgive me while I get back on track. But yes, for those that’re new to the site, this is the place where I talk about all that’s on my mind. For those that’re returning, welcome back! And with that said, let’s talk about transitions.
