Many
people* believe
it is their
responsibility
to stay in
relationships,
communities and
situations
to prove they are
true blue.
Nothing could
be further from the
truth! We
owe it to our
dreams to place
ourselves in an
environment that
provides and supports
the things we want.
We have a right to
peace, prosperity and
success, even when it
means we leave the "
'hood." Does this
mean you think the 'hood
is bad? No, it
simply
means the 'hood is not
where you choose to be.
Growth requires
that we
move on. Movement
does not mean rejection.
It means we want to
broaden our scope.
To move beyond those
things and people who
are familiar to us does
not mean we are leaving
them behind. It
means we are clearing a
path for them to follow,
if they choose to.
