Are you a ball hog or a team player?.... Soul Check

So many people have good ideas but rarely do you have a good idea and good people to team up with at the same time.  But when you do that is when a good idea becomes a GREAT IDEA!!!  (that is a direct quote from me and you can quote me if you like lol ) Tray :-* 

Ya'll better start being team players instead of worrying about being the leader!! (yup that one is me to lol and yes you can quote that one as well lol)  ijs





  If you rolling with that "it's all about me" nigga then you better cut his ass off! Leave that dude alone! Now! Today! By text!!!! Then block the number!!!!!  He is not the one to work with because all he  cares about is his part of the venture to succeed so he can look better than you. That's the one we always see in the movies (like juice, New Jack City, Belly, Five Heartbeats etc.....) You know the one that starts wild'n out thinking above everybody and starts messing up the whole team and then everybody fails!! You need those team players in your life. Whether its a marriage, a business, relationship, a job, drug cartel etc....  Play your part!! If everybody plays their part on a team then the team wins  most of the time! Unless its some fluke shit! Do your part so that the team wins not just so you can look like the the superstar! Check yourself are that "its all about me" nigga? If you are make some changes if you want to succeed at whatever it is your trying to do good!  And if your the team player and you have a "its all about me" nigga on your team then that is the reason why the team is not succeeding the way it should? That's why you have to make some changes too.

Soul check..... did you respect your financial blessings??

If you find yourself suddenly with less money then you use to and struggling then you might want to reflect  on your past.  Did you truly appreciate what you had? Did you thank God for what you had when you had it? Did you use any of it to help others without them asking you? Did you give with a free heart? Do you pay your tithes before you splurged on your self? Did you save a little so you wouldn't be in a bad place just in case? Did  you waste it on things that you knew weren't worth the sacrifice? If you said yes to any of these things then you must understand that you put yourself in this position and you now have to learn how to make it on less and still pay your tithes in order to prove to God that you now respect your blessings and when you do that and have FAITH in God things will get better!

Do you really deserve more?? Soul Check

  If your anything like I use to be then you are fooling yourself!! You are not worthy of all the blessings God has had waiting on you!!!! You think because you go to church every other Sunday, or because you pay tithe (less than 10% of course) when you do go to church because you claim you don't have it but you spent more than 10% on shoes, trips, dinner, partying, Patron, weed, vjj, clothes, cars, niggas, flossing, strippers , video games, weave, jewelry etc.... but you don't have 10 % when it's time to pay GOD!!  God is the reason for all the good you do have in your life and you play him on the money?!   Now you may be the one who will say "you have an issue with God because your broke.  Funny thing about that is your broke because you have been making some dumb ass financial decisions. (lol funny but true) You take your stupid butt to the dealership and get a 300 , slap every hood accessory on it that you can .. car note high... insurance even higher knowing you need to go get you a Malibu throw a little something in the sound system, tint the windows and save the rest of that damn money for your tithe and  living life!!!! Your not living life if the most expensive thing you own is a pimped out ride (Xzibit voice) but you can't pay God 10% for giving you enough money to be be able to afford that car in the first place?!  What you need be saying  is" You know what I can afford this car buy only if I don't  pay my tithe like I should but because God has already blessed me  with this money I owe him at least 10% so instead of getting the top of the line car I will take a step down on the car for now.. because in 2 years when this lease up God will have blessed you 10 times over by then you will be able to  get that 300 with all the bells and ghetto whistles and still pay him his 10 %!! 


   You see we block most of our own blessings.  The thing is we are not loving God as we should.  You see we love him  from a distance and that's just not acceptable. Its like we hold our love hostage for blessings.  You think about God when you need him. So then you love him to pieces. Until you get what you want or give up on waiting for God to give you what you need.  Ladies when your man leaves you then you wanna take you and the kids to church! For real?!?!  Your going to church now and paying some tithes so God can bless you with your man again. Don't lie you know ya'll do that.  Ain't that a b****! Or are you the kind of man  that when you don't have enough money to pay all the bills and you have to go home and look your lady  in the face and/or your family and feel like a loser and  not a "real man".  That's when you wanna take you and the fam to church and post church check-ins on FB and Twitter! Thats the only time you wanna act right because you need some miracle money?!?! Or are you the person who wants God to get them and their family through a death or hard times so now you are on your knees praying more than Karine Stephens in a room full of rappers.  All of a sudden you are a verse qouting, church repping, prayer bandit and choir sigining child of GOD! Posting pictures of the pastor on intsagram. Really?? The only time you think you need God is through the really hard times?? Just think if God can get you through such hard times when you are not living right  just imagine what he would be doing for you if you were living better for him??? THE  issue is the reason why you should live right is not because you want a car, some quick money, to pay a bill, to get a man back, to take care of a sick loved one, to buy your child some expensive cell phone at the age of 10, to get those new Jordans and in my case Jimmy Choos. Anyway you get the point.  You should live right because the ultimate blessing is to live wonderful  in this world full of chaos under Gods light so you can get All of his blessings and have Eternal life.  I know that may sound wackashell.com to a lot of you but that's ok you have your opinion and I have my proof! No love lost just come back and holla at me when you are ready because one day you will be and I will be here to kick it with you then. We are all so selfish but we are so caught up in all of our  BS that we can't even see it.  When a person gives some money to a homeless person the first thng they say is "if you bless people you will be blessed"  the problem is that should not be the reason you give someone something. The reason should be because they needed it and you had it to give. The blessings you receive from that  should be extra and  the act of truly helping someone should be the only true reason! 




 


If we truly thought about our relationship with God more we would all be in a much better place.  The classic cliche "Its the thought that counts" is probably the realist words ever! My question for you is How much do you truly think about God? Just think about that for a while.  (stepping down out of the  pulpit lol)

You look good but do you feel good? Soul Check







   Feeling good on the inside is better then just looking good on the outside. The problem with people  today is that they worry about looks more then souls. They worry about how good they look everyday but not how good they feel.  they worry about how many people think they are fine instead of how many people thing they are a good person. They worry about how good their mate is instead of how good their mate makes them feel. People worry about what club the hottest chics/niggas  hit  instead of what church that hot chic or  that find dude attends. People will spend all of their money to pay for a wedding instead of saving all of that money to enjoy their marriage. Let me give you an analogy... If you buy a Benz with a bad  engine  you can hook up BEATS in the sound systems, throw DVDS in every head rest, have wood grain every where  and slap some 20's with BZO Sprewells on it that car will not last long because the engine will fade quick.  And when it does you either have to pay a ton of money to get a new engine or your stuck with an expensive good looking car that sits there and makes you mad every time you see it!    We've all been this kind of person the key is are you still this person or are you on a mission to make a change.  Looks fade but a persons spirit is eternal! #themaninthemirror
