The Daddy Diaries: Keep The Dream Alive (From the 2018 Archives)
The Unseen Manifestation Recorded: Friday, April 6, 2018. Los Angeles, California.
Sometimes, the most profound growth happens on the days you decide to do absolutely nothing. I recorded this message for my son on a Friday afternoon in LA, taking a rest day before starting a year-long driving gig with Google.
I had been watching a documentary about the origins of hip-hop artists, and it hit me with a wave of clarity: Dreams absolutely come true. But you have to be patient. You have to understand that so many of your desires are manifesting right now on a level that is currently unseen. Just because you can’t see the architecture being built doesn’t mean the foundation isn’t there.
The Curse Words of the Matrix The biggest threat to your unseen manifestation is the noise of the naysayers.
When people start telling you what you “should” do, or what you are “supposed to” be—run. Those are the curse words of the matrix. They are attempts to hand you a script that does not belong to you. You are royalty from the Source. You do not need to perform for the approval of a system that wants to box you in.
I knew this at four years old. But it took me until I was 39 to actually apply it to my life—to say, “I am going to do what my heart desires, and I will be guided by that internal voice instead of the voices of the world.”
The Anthem I was a rapper back in the day, and the cadence of those words has never left me. This is the hook I wrote years ago, and it stands as the motto for anyone building their sovereign reality today:
“Keep the dream alive, Never let it die. You never know until you try, give it all you got. Whether you make it or not ain’t a mistake, Because God has already ordered your steps before your first breath.”
The Legacy Mantras I leave my son, and all of you, with the foundational elements of the Eco-System:
Go within, you’ll never go without.
Choose love over everything.
Live authentically, be yourself unapologetically.
Fire is my spirit, water is my blood, earth is my flesh, wind is my breath. We are never disconnected, only elevated.
There is one today and a hundred tomorrows. Which one are you going to live for?
