I want to express my thoughts on self control. Most of you follow me on twitter know that I have given up Beef, Pork, and chicken for Lent. Its been really hard for me, not giving it up, but having very little choices for quick food with the life style I live. I by no means enjoy fast food, but some times its necessary to hit a drive thru and grab something quick. I have almost gave in about 15 times. I have exercised self control. Which is better than I can say about most people. My battle with the food I can and can not eat is nothing compared to things I witnessed this past month. People are so selfish that they can't see beyond the reach of their hand. Everything is instant gratification. Right Now Right Now Right Now! Not giving any thought to the consequences of the actions that they choose. Or even going ahead in spite of the consequences. Expressing NO self control.
I hate to preach. I hate to offer unsolicited advice. All I want people to do is THINK! With my situation with food, I think about how I would feel about myself if I don't complete what I started. I would feel like shit. For lack of a better word. And that's just my own personal guilt. Me not being able to complete this affects no one but myself. However some peoples actions aren't that simple and will affect a plethora of people, on so many different levels. Life is like a chess game. You have to think 4 and 5 steps ahead. Not just right now. Be warned, I will not speak to you after 5pm if you use the term YOLO or express no self control. That's "nigga" thinking.
At some point you have to grow and expand. Yeah on air you might hear CaliRadio joke and laugh and clown. But at the end of the day we are all about business and family and leaving a legacy for the people we love. That in it self takes great self control.
