The Series : I AM.. Consequential

These are words you don't hear every day. They are not to be used in just any way. Think about that statement; only say it if you believe it, if you will live it. Let these words uplift you when you forget whose you are. Remind yourself of the force and power behind you.

CONSEQUENTIAL

Definition: I am the result and the effect. I am major. I am significant. I bear some weight. I am the weight. I will change your life consciously and unconsciously; that is a FACT. It also means I am present in every moment because I am meant to be.

Spending each day imagining how to kill me is a wasted effort. You can try, but nothing will silence me. I can't stay silent. I got a little trouble with staying silent. Being creative is one reason why you will never be able to kill me. While I sleep, my words are awake wrapping themselves around your ears and your curls, waves and the type 1s growing from your head.

I'm asking for racial reconciliation. I can't be the only one watching my nightmares with eyes wide open while you wait for me to pass your white picket fence for the noise to die out. You will get this noise. You will hear this noise. I am receptive and ready, so it's your turn to be the stimuli.

The words above are the start of this series.

It all started one Sunday in 2020 when panic was high. People thought they had to count the days until it was their time to die. People lost their sense of worth, with jobs gone, security lost, not knowing if working from home would turn to no longer working.

I listened to a Sunday sermon and created something to make us all feel worthy through words. All of this was at a time when we found out about Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd, alongside others who were all murdered. The strings of America's heart had been stretched over time until they finally snapped. There were shouts for justice, which shaped some of my captions in the earlier posts of the series. There was no justice served following Breonna Taylor's death and the coming trial of George Floyd's killers.

I had to give worth and value back to life - numerous pandemics were going on simultaneously (racial, political, health, and the freedom of people's choices).

I plan to make new additions to the series as meaningful moments and messages are forced out of this poet's mind and fingers to type or write. Let me give you snippets from that Sunday message to make this all make further sense.

SUNDAY SERMON

Wisdom is the principal thing.

Applying wisdom as a filter or lens through which we view things and situations. A lens or filter through which we approach life and our lives can lead to more effective and efficient outcomes.

"Open the ears of your spirit and drink from the rivers of wisdom."

Translation: Listen. Learn. Ask questions. Enquire about things. Express your willingness to learn. Admit that you don't know much about a whole lot of things.

Translation #2: It is a collective of rivers that don't run dry. Continually seek, and you will find the river that meets your needs each season. Respect your continual evolution by continuing to learn.

Engage in many studies. Read the books of conquerors that intrigue you. Make your books your companion. Stretch your mind.

Be mentored by great minds - not only in proximity. It can be your creative friends, skilled friends, knowledgeable neighbors, colleagues with a side hustle, or thriving business/project. It can be big-name celebrities, leaders, or influencers in your field of interest. Through this mentoring, you will find - that you are encouraged, informed, or equipped to build wealth in your habits, personal spaces, and professional spaces that matter to you.

All of these things contribute in one way or another to your consequential life. A life that has value on any given day.

Tell yourself always: 

"My life is consequential."

"There is something awesome to me. I am not here by accident or a mistake."

"My life is mine to judge first, by the way I keep on moving."

AND..

"My future and destiny are consequential."
