i am giving up coffee in 2016
i am actually drinking it right now as i type this.. but its leftover coffee that was in my refrigerator i went about 3 days without coffee the first two days were really hard but on the third day i felt like my mind was clearer and i felt like i should take advantage of it.. i saw it as an opportunity to break my addiction.. so i threw my coffee maker out i stopped drinking espressos a few years ago.. giving those up was great because i stopped spending all my money on them and i stopped needing it so much (also stopped having nosebleeds, stopped being dehydrated and angry, and i stopped having heart palpitations).. but i was still drinking coffee which has been like a lesser version of the espresso.. i am tired of feeling like i need something that isn't natural.. like food and water are natural.. if u need a caffeine hit, that is not natural that is an addiction or basically a umm... like a personality flaw so like i said.. today i'm drinking leftover coffee i had in the fridge and my hope is to just finish it off and just be coffee free i am very happy that i was able to do 3 days off the problems i've been having with coffee are like.. oh man.. my eye started twitching.. this was about 6 months ago some guy came up to me and asked me how i was doing and i told him i wasn't the best and he was like what's going on? i was like man my eye is twitching and i don't know why and he explained he had the same thing and it was that he needed to cut back on the caffeine.. and i should've just listened to him.. i should've just been like thanking God that He sent someone to explain my problem to me but i still couldn't really stop drinking it but there are a lot of things i notice in my body that are weird now.. and basically.. i feel like in life we sometimes have a space to repent.. and i feel like this is my space.. i have a time where i can jump ship before the problems really start coffee may not be a problem for everyone, but for me it is i started using it as a coping mechanism back when i was about 23 or so but looking back i honestly feel that it took the place of prayer have you ever woke up and had a terrible day.. then the next day you woke up and prayed, and your day was much smoother? that's what i'm referring to instead of just praying that my plight would be easier, or praying the the Lord would give me more wisdom, or lighten my load- i was just drinking coffee and feeling a "high" of sorts and making my mood lighter people do this with marijuana as well i am tired of this i want to just depend on the Lord to help me through things as opposed to drinking a cup of "get up and go" anyway.. that's all i really wanted to say peeps take it easy

here is something i sometimes want to explain to women who don't understand that men don't really care about their money or status or whatever
women listen to a brotha have you ever met a guy who was always telling you how moral he was? and he thought maybe you would like him because he is so moral? but in reality you were more attracted to a guy who wasn't trying to tout his righteousness? its sort of like that as a woman you may be thinking "ok he is moral but he is also self righteous" or something like that.. you may say "you THINK you're moral but you're also always hating on and bashing people in a hypocritical way" as a woman you're thinking YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT, I STILL DONT LIKE YOU.. YOUR CHARACTER IS REPULSIVE this is how men sometimes view women who try to tout their money and career and status its like men are looking at you like, ok you have money A. i don't care B. you're arrogant about it C. you act in a way that makes me think you want to wear the pants D. you are always hating on "basic" women who have less than you.. when in reality they have more traits that i like as a man than you do this is just something i wanted to post to draw a parallel to show women why men don't care that you are president of a club or something i hear women saying things like "i feel insecure because i'm not on his level yet" and i think- wow she doesn't get it.. most men don't mind bringing you up to their level and actually oftentimes would consider it a pleasure.. if a man is preoccupied with a woman's money and status he may be a coward (not believing he can be successful himself) or he may be the type of guy who will settle to be a woman's house-husband in the next few years.. so you can go to work for 40hours a week while he breast feeds your kids anyway.. anyone feel me on this? was the morality thing a decent analogy? "resist the devil and he will flee"
i keep hearing and seeing this in my head i feel like it is deeper than what we immediately understand resist the devil and he will flee.. what does him fleeing entail? if the enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy then it definitely sounds like a good idea to do the things that cause him to flee what does he flee from exactly? from tempting you? from harming your mental state? from attacking your finances? from impeding your progress? from all of the above? we gotta start resisting bros -man on a mission -no distractions -tunnel vision -goal oriented HERO.
