The beginning

Since way back when you think back to when things were 10000 times easier.
What happened?
You either grew up or there's something in the milk....or both.

There's not doubt that the people of today versus the people of yesterday are a lot more exhausted than necessary.
This is due to increase in stress, money issues, stuff in our foods (there's a reason why the dollar menu exists), and certainly the issue of the insecure world where everything depends on the MTV or magazines.

Naturally, back then none of this existed so you depended on yourself and your remedies to take you through any BS you can come up with.

Today's society is based on the outside appearance. Not everyone, just mostly everyone.
Yet, we're still tired. Everyone's trying to make something out of themselves, or are just doing whatever to pass the time.

People are a lot more secretive, too.
Even with facebook, twitter, etc.
Everyone wants everyone to know their business, but yet none of it all at the same time.

Shame is at an all time low, yet you would think that would be a good thing.
It's neither here nor there.

Being tired is basically the biggest problem today.
How can you spend money on the economy when you're spending it on everything else?
How can you save when you're spending too much?
How can you think when everything else is on your mind?

Unfortunately, you can't fix things over night.
You can't become a great athlete just because you put on your sneakers finally.

Everything is hard work.
Saving money is hard work.
Feeding and clothing your children is hard work.
Getting through your day at times is hard work.
Stress is a negative component to your daily move.
Stress is easily piled up if you think too much, when its not creative thinking.

They say you are your worst enemy.
It's true.
No matter how many fights you get into, break-ups you endure, or even quick gains or losses you watch happen before your very eyes; at the end of the day, you still gotta see tomorrow and deal with your personality and hidden negatives.

Money is a huge factor to all stress.
Money can make or break a man's thought process.
Money can cause you to sit out of things you didn't want to.
Habits are also controlled by money.

Point is, if you're tired its probably because you're depressed from money, life, kids, significant other, etc.

Money is still the center of all evil, but it will make sure you can get by until tomorrow and thereafter.
The man wants his doe too so don;t forget that part.
Every little you get, the man wants his cut.
Don't like it?
Stay broke.
What else could you do with your day without money?
Could you eat without any surplus in your fridge?
Could you go out to the store when it's more than 5 miles away and your legs aren't so hot?
Could you call someone, when your cellphone bill's 175 overdue?
Could you play scrabble? Did you forget you threw that out when you did spring cleaning?

All in all, you got to start making changes.
Eat less Mickie D's, eat more deli cuts and fruits and veggies.
(Reminder: Fruits and veggies contain a lot of water...you will stop feeling so hungry after a few carrots or grapes..if not..drink some more water)
Save up your money. All those trips to the gas station, convenience store for cigarettes, and dollar menu's add up.

When was the last time you took a look at your budget?
Not so healthy.
Almost like the way you feel, except your wallet is starting to want to sleep too.


And that's Real Talk.
