GOD doesn’t like a Coward
Reading time: 2 – 3 minutes
As my nephew squares away the last of his job and gets ready for college I left him with these words “GOD doesn’t like a Coward… Be Bold and Take on the Challenge.” I was looking for something that would stick in his head as he gets up and leaves the family to be his own Man! He’s not going to school anywhere near where any of my family is located. No one is escorting him to the college so he’ll have to get on that plane and make it happen. I wanted him to know I’m aware he’s scared but GOD doesn’t like a coward and to handle it.
When I was moving and building in this game that was the statement I said to myself. I can’t act like I originated it as it’s a part of the movie Untouchables where Sean Connery decides Fvck it and he’s going to join the fight to take on Al Capone. When I was younger watching that movie that was the statement that stuck in my head. WOW, if GOD doesn’t like a Coward then I have no choice but to be bold in this game. I know it’s fiction but that theme seem to fit my life at that moment. I think I was about 17 or 18 watching that movie so that’s the same age as my nephew now.
Every once in a while I lose focus in this game and I double back to that saying. I never did respond well to that soft peddle shit in life as life was rough and I had to be rougher than it. There are mountains to climb and I’m barefoot in this bitch but I got to climb them. I saw that saying the same way some young kat being a suicide bomber takes his mission. If GOD doesn’t like a Coward then I don’t want to be on the wrong side of GOD.
Either way on this Tuesday, as I see my nephew walk out the door; I remember what I told myself. GOD doesn’t like a Coward so I have to be Bold in this life. As crazy as all that sounds me believing in that saying during the rough times is actually what made me succeed and endure and prosper during some shit I would’ve never do again!

I have found myself afraid and hesitant about taking the first step in things, but now I start to look at the alternative and with just one step I can change for the better.
You got to push through somehow. If it’s a inspirational quote or that feeling I get in the pit of my stomach that makes me think the alternative ain’t nice. It’s natural but we have to push through.
Good advice to your nephew. My greatest achievements occurred when I was alone and on my own.
The transition has to begin somewhere and at sometime. For me it’s when I left everyone and followed my own theories to their natural end. Once I found out I was always right about myself the game changed for me forever!
I loved this post freeman I traveled to Mexico City on my own for 1 year on a business trip and I had to adapt to culture food weather you name it. I just had to hustle! and do what I had to do, honestly I did some soul searching to keep my self balanced
No family NO friends just me and GOD one thing that helped was to value myself! as an American. People are jaw dropped when you reject some ish that most would give an arm for Lol
It’s definitely a Manhood transition moment when you have to come to grips with YOU are all you got. I did it so many times that I got used to doing things by myself. It’s a handicap for a Man not to be able to go on his own so I was glad my nephew was willing to take on the challenge.
When you know who you are you don’t act like everyone else. So me not looking or desiring or even acting like everyone else is alright with me. Your soul searching is what changes you forever and most kats never isolate themselves to know who they are and what they really want.
