SOMETHING GOTTA BE SACRIFICED

SOMETHING GOTTA BE SACRIFICED

Ever tried to receive something in great in life? Can you recall a moment that you actually achieved something great without giving up something great? If you say you can, I guarantee what you accomplished wasn’t all that great because trust me something gotta be sacrificed. Let’s explore a few examples.

I. SOUL STONE

During the Marvel Cinematic Event, Avengers: Infinity War, the main antagonist Thanos was collecting what is known in the movie as the Infinity Stones. One of the stones Thanos need to collect is the Soul Stone. Now in order to acquire the soul stone, Thanos was required to sacrifice something he truly and dearly loved. It may be hard to picture a supervillain being capable of such a thing but Thanos isn’t your typical supervillain. He was a creature much capable of love.

In fact he sacrificed his greatest love, his adoptive daughter Gamora. He exchanged his daughter’s life to what he felt like was the greater good. He took something that meant the world to him to literally gain control of the entire world. All the other stones didn’t require such a grave action but the plan couldn’t be completed without that huge sacrifice.

II. GRANOLAH

In the Dragonball Super manga a new story arc has begun entitled the “Granolah the Survivor”. Granolah much like many other anime characters experienced a grave loss. His planet was destroyed under the direction of the tyrannous Frieza. Hell bent on revenge, Granolah becomes willing to do anything to exact vengeance on the wrathful emperor.

Granolah one day is made aware of the power of the Dragonballs, a magical set of orbs created by an alien race called Namekians that grants the wish of anyone who summons the dragon from the orbs. The set of Dragonballs Granolah used was only a two-set orb that was created by the namekians of his home planet. When summoned Granolah asked the dragon to become the strongest warrior in the universe. That was a wish obviously out of the dragon’s power but the dragon was willing to compromise.

The dragon granted Granolah access to all his potential power that would be normally obtained in 150 years, in a single instant! The great sacrifice only allowed him to have 3 remaining years left barring the fact he isn’t killed before then. Think about how bad you must want revenge when you’re literally willing to give up your life force to destroy another’s person life. A great sacrifice indeed!

III. ABRAHAM

In the Holy Bible, Abraham is promised great name and descendants from God himself. So When God told Abraham to sacrifice his son Issac, he had to be looking at God like “My dude this don’t make any sense”….”Sacrifice my son? Is you good?” However, Abraham had faith in God and didn’t bulge from the mission given to God. Right before Abraham was about to sacrifice his son he was stopped by an angel and a ram was sacrificed instead. So in exchange for a name that is known through history, (think of how we address God as the ‘God of Abraham’) Abraham had to almost sacrifice his son!

Although his son wasn’t sacrificed Abraham did sacrifice his son in his heart better yet he sacrificed his own will! Almost guarantee that anybody else in that position would’ve abandoned God’s plan and decided to keep their son! Keep in mind Abraham had his son at an old age and waited a while for a child! Who would want to sacrifice their son after that? Nevertheless Abraham adhered to God’s plan sacrificing his will in exchange to be the Father of Nations!

IV. CONCLUSION

So keep in mind the next time you’re itching to achieve greatness. Before you embark on your journey ask yourself what are you willing to sacrifice? Because to gain anything you have to lose something! Word to Mother B! lol

HOW SOCIAL MEDIA IS MAKING LEBRON’S SEASON EVEN MORE SAVAGE!

HOW SOCIAL MEDIA IS MAKING LEBRON’s SEASON EVEN MORE SAVAGE!

In this day and age legacy is formed just as much off the court as on the court.

Imagine if Jordan could’ve chronicled all of his pinnacle moments via social media, during his NBA reign. It would’ve made his status that much greater because we would’ve really felt like we was on that journey with him.

Now let’s turn our attention to Lebron and that’s exactly what it feels like is happening now.

This finally strike me on the head, when I seen Lebron’s post about time stamping his Zoom Soldier 11s as the “ejected game” 11s.

Since the beginning of the summer Lebron has taken us thru his journey of what he call his #SAVAGESEASON15. Through his displays of grit and godlike talent we’ve seen a Lebron that look like he’s out to accomplish something for the ages and nothing will go unaccounted for.

First you have Bron rocking out to Tee Grizzley’s first day out, which launched Lebron’s instastory being the stamp of approval for artists singles.

To relentless posting of his workouts, the inside jokes(Arthur fist meme), and to the now INFAMOUS, KING OF NEW YORK photo.

That Young Man Went to THE GARDEN [!!!!] and proclaimed himself as the KING OF NEW YORK!! 

 Not to mention he called the active Chief of Staff a bum, who else does that?

 It is clear Lebron is substantially seperated from mankind in physical capabilities, but his active use of social media platforms (especially using them to combat injustice) makes the superstar feel that much more human, thus making him more connected to the people and his journey more intiment.​

The king continues to strive for greatness, as we witness his attempt to capture his 4th ring in one of his most notorious seasons yet!

NEW YORK MINUTE: THE QUICKEST WAY TO MAKE A DECISION

​NEW YORK MINUTE: THE QUICKEST WAY TO MAKE A DECISION

If you've ever been to New York you know people pack the streets from sun up to sun down. During people commute they most certainly have to walk across the street at some point. Due to the overwhelming traffic the walking signals are usually ignored and people make their own calls of when to walk across the street.

People darting across the street can be seen as a lesson to use in our everyday lives. When you see an opportunity you must take it , hesitation of any kind can lead to an unfavorable outcome and you can miss your chance to get across the hurdle(street).

When people want to take a chance the first thing they tend to do is spend an absurd amount of time deliberating decisions. If people took as much time deliberating crossing the street as they do life decisions, their bodies would've been seen flying across the street. You could wait on a walking signal to tell you you're clear or quickly but proficiently assess the area and make your way across on your own merit.

In our lives we can tend to be overloaded with a bunch of decisions to make , one of the clearest ways to overcome is make a decision and stick it through!
