Who’s Pimping Your Destiny?

You know, you do need mentors, but in the end, you really just need to believe in yourself. -Diana Ross

In the 1960’s and 70’s, Berry Gordy dominated the black music industry of Motown, with some of the greatest artist and memorable songs. He had a tight grasp on his artists where they could not have room to maneuver out of his ironclad contracts, in order to have freedom to be creative artists in their own right. Gordy was a slave master at creating his destiny through his performers. They were the puppets for his routine shows.

Do me a favor. View your life as you wake up, from Sunday to Saturday, from the first day of the week you go to church, to the last day of the week you finish work You invested so little in life, to get so little in return. Your life has adopted the same robotic daily routine, where people, places and things have locked you in a state of complacency, causing you to be at the same level they’re on, while you never have the power to advance beyond their league. Submitting to their desires of sharing your company, you sell your time and yourself out cheap to people, like a prostitute who sells their companionship. Avoid people, places and things pimping you out for your time and talent. Cease loaning your mind to anything that you can’t challenge and learn for yourself. If you’ve been lectured to without you debating back, then you’re brainwashed. A whore will believe anything her pimp preaches to her, without learning to be her own.

People, places and things won’t cut you loose to explore new territory, because they need to rely on your resources and talent, so they can shine. Of course it’s wonderful to socialize, network and have places for enjoyment or learning, nonetheless, there is a time to measure how far you advanced among these areas of your life. Even when promoted to higher positions in careers or education, in order to advance, your time and effort can no longer be spent on the same routines and associates that you surpassed. You’re in the big leagues now, and you have to move on from the minors. You can’t be concerned about people feeling insulted by your life being to busy, just because you’re achieving higher goals that don’t coincide with their time. That’s not your problem. You’re doing them a favor by helping them to move on and discover their life, so they can explore new things about themselves. You as well are accomplishing this in the Lord as the power of Yahh.

It’s hard for people to leave people, places and things, because they become so attached, that they feel they owe some type of loyalty or devotion to this attachment. In retrospect, you must be loyal and devoted to yourself first, so you can serve your purpose in life. If these routine attachments are not allowing you to challenge your own abilities and to question others, then you’re just a slave to a sermon or a career, because you are not a master of your own destiny. You have your own ministry. A ministry is a cause to increase your God given abilities. A ministry is not a church you attend, or else you will be following someone else’s destiny. Following someone else’s ministry clashes with your destiny, because they are the ones who have the power and control the outcome. This is why ministries get people to support their ministry, so followers can finance the minister’s destiny, because it cost to grow a destiny. You’re worth more power in Yahh.
