So a while back right before I started college my dad gave me a book titled " a Letter to a Young Brother" subtitle "MANifest Your Destiny" by Hill Harper. The book is mainly like an ongoing conversation between Hill Harper and this young kid or kids through a year or so period and it goes over the young man's struggles and changes and Hill Harper gives advice to the maturing young guy. My dad had given me the book because I was 18 and becoming my own man and he felt with factors like my Love Life, Friendships, School, Work and so on which are all talked about in the book would really help me. I will admit I read the book and the first chapter really drew me in. Like Hill Harper talked about a few things that someone in my stage of life are concerned with.
How much money I wanted to make, deciding if a higher education was really the path for me, Understanding the flaws of relationships, lusting for women, Being myself, BlAH BlaH.
Now I'm not saying the book is one of those live your life like this books and your days on this earth will be amazing not at all its more of a look this is what I did take what you want from it. One of the things Hill Harper stresses in the book is to take risk do things out of character try new things cause how many of us still don't know what we want out of life or dwell on hidden passions we never went for. I have to admit when your life is filled with new things doesn't even have to be a lot just something out of your normal routine life becomes enjoyable it becomes exciting you forget about so many of life's problem or annoying features.
The Journey to becoming who I will be 10 years down the road determines so much of how I will treat people, act in situations, and handle life. This book was really a eye opener cause we all know those 20, 30 and sometimes 40 years old guys that never became a Man and are stuck playing the same cards hanging with same people and taking the same fool like stance. Just like Hill Harper says it might be easier to close your eyes and ears and act like your passing time. But you not. Life is as always moving and it is our personal duty to ourselves to take advantage of it all. Young Millionaire in the making Remember that forget that actually I AIM HIGH Billions Boys and Girls LOL
