Daily Insight: Past Predicting The Future

A wise man once said “your guards up, our heart’s cold this might be the one but you will never know, you’re holding onto pain from so long ago, you gotta let it go, you gotta let it go, and I promise you’re gonna find love.” I feel as though everyone at some point is hurt like they never thought was gonna happen to them. And they just say eff it and throw up their hands to everything, only to protect themselves. But think about it what if every time something didn’t go as planned you just gave up?

What if Patrick Ewing quit the damn NBA when he missed that wide open finger roll for the win in the playoffs?! I know it’s hard to imagine, but the Knicks might have been a whole hell of a lot worse throughout the 90’s. What if you hold the door for someone, and their rude asses don’t say thanks?! Are you gonna slam the door on that little old lady that might be coming up behind you next time?? What if Mike would’ve said “oh hell naw this is for the birds,” when his Jheri Curl caught on fire at that Pepsi commercial?!? We probably wouldn’t have anything to dance to and no one of Usher, Chris Brown, Neyo ect to bite off of!

I know I’m going on a tangent, but I’m saying that to say that when things don’t go exactly how you planned them to you can’t write off everything and everyone else. All you’re doing is blocking what future blessings God may have in store for you.

I believe Teedra when she sings, and she ended this song with “a heart that's pure won't be denied, the kinda lovin' that'll rock ya, The kinda lovin' that'll keep ya, Hold ya for a lifetime.” I damn sure ain’t tryna miss that kinda loving so I won’t let the past get in the way of my future.
