“Music is reflection of self”
– Eminem on “Sing for the Moment“

It’s important to reflect sometimes. With so much going on everyday life, it’s easy to get caught up and overlook the big picture. Whether it’s what’s going on today or what the week has in store, it’s common to be shortsighted at times (and that’s ok). What is difficult, though, is taking a step back and telling yourself: wow, look at all that there is to be grateful for. If you’re alive, breathing, and reading these, there’s a lot. So yes, indulge me as we take a moment to reflect.

Before I get too ahead of myself though, whatupy’all? What is going on??? Welcome to the Ajaxxx.com July 2018 Opinions Column. This is the place where I talk about anything and everything going on with me. For those that’re new to the site, welcome and glad to have you here. For those returning, welcome back!

As I do every July, I take a moment to reflect. I usually do this every year around my birthday, and this year is no different. It’s been awhile since I just took a step back and took it all in. We always get caught up in the busy-ness of everyday life, that we mayyy forget about all the big stuff.

“Love is not just a verb, it’s you looking in the mirror.”
– Kendrick Lamar on “Poetic Justice“

When you’re moving towards a goal, it’s important to take a step back from time to time and assess yourself. Whether it’s how you’re progressing, how you’re struggling, or simply how you feel, it’s all important. Assessing yourself will help you realize what’s working and what’s not. And ultimately, it should also help you do better.

Before getting too ahead though, WHAT UP! What’s going on my peoples? I’m super late with this but welcome to the May 2018 Opinions Column. This is the place where I talk about anything and everything on my mind. So let’s talk about assessing yourself for May.

“The chair became a king’s throne
My destiny found me”
– Nas on “You’re Da Man”

It feels like the older we get, the more difficult it is to keep that same level of motivation that we had when we were younger. There was a certain hunger that’s tough to recapture, especially with knowledge. Time comes at a premium and real life creeps up on us. It’s tough. So how then do you maintain the motivation?

Before we jump ahead though, WELCOME. Welcome to the Ajaxxx.com April 2018 Opinions Column. This is the place where I talk about whatever’s on my mind. And in this episode, I wanna spend a little bit of time talking about maintaining motivation, especially as time passes.

– J. Cole on Royce Da 5’9″‘s “Boblo Boat“

When you’re leading a busy life and things are coming at you from all angles, it can get pretty overwhelming. And when your head is spinning from all that’s going on, you can also be left spinning.
