Every now and again, ok I’m lying like every 5 minutes a random song pops in my head. The random song of the moment happened to be 3LW’s “Playa’s Gonna Play.” If you really think about the lyrics these 3 Little Women were really dropping some jewels. A wise man once said, “Playas they gonna play, haters they gonna hate, ballers, they gonna ball, shot callers they gonna call.”
Now I know that these girls from this semi-popular group in the the early 2000’s probably just thought they had a hit single on their hands. But when you really think about it they are speaking some fundamental truths of life.
Everyone plays a role in life. First up are the playas, the people who have figured most of it out already. Whether, it is your cool ass Uncle still picking up women at the singles night. Or, that one person that always seems to have the perfect advice when it comes to the biddies of the opposite sex. You can learn a great deal from them. Pay attention.
Then of course you have your haters. The people who are going to push you to be greater because they are miserable with their lives. There’s nothing more to really say about that.
Now ballers, they are there to give you a constant reminder of something to strive to. Whether it’s making your dream salary at your dream job. Or popping models and pouring it on models every Saturday night. Hey, I don’t judge. But these people are here to remind you it’s attainable.
And of course the shot callers. The bosses, the parents, the planners. Where would we be without them? The goal here is to be one of them.
Saying all of this to say, the world has a certain balance of people that are in place for reasons. Find out which one is yours and start using it to your advantage.
