Get By | Talib Kweli

I woke up early this morning. Unreasonably early. Ridiculously early. But not tired in any way.

I found myself watching Lemon, the documentary about Lemon Andersen. It was definitely a motivating way to start the day…or the year.

It was humbling and inspiring to watch him go though the trials of achieving the goals he worked so hard for. At one point he said something that really made me take pause:

Maybe I was being tested by the laws out there. That if you really want it, you’re going to work for it. And it’ll work for you. On it’s on time. Not yours.

I’ve always looked to calendars to map out my life.
They just might be the most misleading and arbitrary measurements of time out there.
