Let me give it to you straight. It’s
not about today, it’s about the future. It’s not about now, it’s about later.
This is Grind Season! You gotta roll up your sleeves, or if need be, take the
shirt off completely and get into your work clothes. It’s grind season homie,
it’s grind season, this is the time to grind.
Forgive me for my rude entry, or
introduction in this article, of course you all know that L.A is a polite dude.
I am so polite, cultured, well mannered, and down to earth, and I can say
without any ambiguity or fear of contradiction that I am the coolest G around here. To authenticate my claims, if you will please, you can quickly
browse through a few of my articles at www.olamideadenuga.blogspot.com and www.lamidebusinessguy.blogspot.com.
But this article I’m dishing out
right now is not the soft one, I ain’t gat no time to be pretty, Grind ain’t
pretty, we’re talking about
grind up in here. You are going to the gym; this
ain’t no time to dress all dope, in your fitted shirt, and tuxedo, with your
Italian crocodile skin shoe, you are wrongly dressed man, this ain’t no place
for that. Grind is when you get dirty, and get to work, the hard work;
that hard work of building your empire,
setting your business in motion, translating global dreams and ideas in your
mind from possibilities to realities, and taking your already successful
business to the next level.
To my babies and honeyz too, cuz this
ain’t just a man thing. You’re on your way to grind, you’re going to work out,
you don’t need a dinner gown, stiletto shoes, no mascara, no Mary Kay or Mac,
you’re going to the gym for work out, you’re going to grind, you’re going in to
fight for your dreams and goals to materialize; that beauty parlour, that
events management outfit.
Growing up, I once heard someone
said; you can either pay now and play
later, or you play now and pay later, but either ways folks, you still gat to
pay. So why not pay now, why not do the hard work now, why not put yourself
to work now, why not grind now, and enjoy the benefits in future. Do you want
to wait till you are older before you hit the grind, or do you want to be
pushed to the wall with nowhere to go before you hit the grind? IT IS GRIND
TIME!
Grind now so when it is time to make your rounds, you gonna deliver. You wanna sit for an exam – Grind
now. You are planning on starting your own business – Grind now. You see a
beautiful and bright future in front of you, trust me baby, I see it too, but
let me burst your bubble, it ain’t gonna come easy. Oh, y’all don’t want me to
be real with ya, but I gotta be. You gat to grind it to fruition, grind your
way to your future, be it in sports, in entertainment, fashion and style,
academics, business, ICT, whatever sphere of life you want to excel, you’ve got
to grind; work your art, beat on your
craft. Practice does not make perfect, it is PERFECT practice that makes
perfect. Remember those golden words packed with so much truth; you can
either pay now and play later, or you play now and pay later, either ways, you
still gat to pay.
G, do the hard work now, so in the
not too distant future, you will be able to do everything you want to do for
your peeps and for your family, buy whatever you want to buy, take luxury trips
to different parts of the world, and vacation in the choicest places on the
face of the planet, and you will be able to help people and impact lives
without limitations. That is one of my aspirations and dreams; I should one day
go to a broke community, and make their days like Christmas, once every month,
round the year. To go to a primary school where the children have no sandals
and they put on torn and patched clothes, no books, no biros, pens, pencils,
and I supply all they will need for the rest of the term at the start of the
term. To be a blessing to my Generation.
Stay focused on your grind and don’t
be carried away by what others are doing, what they are enjoying, or what they
have. If at all you need to look at successful people, let them inspire you,
let them spur you on. Work on your grind, you will have what you want, and you
will build your own empire.
It’s grind season mate, I pray you will live your dreams, and fulfill
your destiny.
