Legacy

I will admit, there are a lot of things I don’t know. I don’t pretend I know everything. The best thing you can do is question everything. One thing I am aware of; I am a great father. That is one of 3 things I am proud of. It is important to teach and learn with your kids. Growing up with a single mother you learn minimal father duties. I felt like I never needed him in my life. A son growing up without their dad is critical. See, you have to learn as a man how to treat the other gender and also how to survive not only in business but in life.
When my oldest daughter came to me for advice to start her business it made my soul smile. She is truly excited to do something at 12 years old. See, leaving a legacy is what I am about. I found my lane: writing stories and currently writing a script… but for my daughter at 12 years old to take initiative is simply amazing. Think about what you want to do in your life that catapults your family to a different atmosphere. My grandparents struggled in life to give my parents the tools to survive. My grandmother worked daily, not for money, but for food. She cleaned houses for a cooked pot of rice for her children (my mom and her siblings). That hustle itself is what motivates me. I want to change the way my family thinks. Not that $15.00 is the maximum amount we can earn but that we are worth more. Hard work pays off especially when your mindset is thinking above minimum wage. I will continue to thrive through the clouds of doubts and make sure my kids see greatness.
Not mine but theirs.
It is crucial to leave a positive mark in your kids psyche but especially when you are Hispanic or black. They have to believe in something or they will fall for anything. Don’t think you have to leave your imprints on society as much. Think of your kids, that is your LEGACY.
PEACE and LOVE
