Royalty by Mali Music
Start by taking a seat
Deep breath
Relax
Release the air
Try not to think
It’s finally here
The beginning and end of another journey
Full of ups and downs
Twists and turns
Bumps and bruises
But yet
Here you are above it all
It is very easy
And quite natural
To want to forget the mistakes we made all along
But I urge you not to
Instead let them remind and teach you
Of the decisions you should make
Or some you should avoid
Use them as a teaching tool
Everything is a learning process
To some
This time brings excitement
To some
This time brings fear
The sense of doubt creeps in
About whether or not you can do it
I ask that you let that fear and doubt
Burn inside you and let their fumes blow out
And give you the space to believe
Believe in you
Because the truth of the matter is
You made it thus far
And you are going to make it farther
Excitement or fear
Belief or doubt
You have a decision to make
You’re staring down the route of another potentially amazing journey or pathway
You’ve worked hard to this moment
Those rough days you fought through
Or those lonely nights you toiled alone
You’re here
And there might be many more to come
But do not forget how you got here
Instead remember who and why you got to this place
And be thankful
This chapter is a new beginning to define greatness
The new journey is about to begin
Equip yourself and prepare for the journey
Work hard and fight harder
Stay true to yourself
In all don’t forget who you are
And never give up
Remember
There is no fatigue felt on the day of victory
Now take another deep breath
Breathe out
Get up
And suit up
Reach out to the people you love
Your support system
And hold them close
Give love and get love
Brace yourself
It’s going to be another fun ride
See you at the finish line
By his grace.
This piece practically wrote itself today during my break at school. I was in what I would consider the worst class I have ever taken in my life. It’s an Enterprise Info Class in my MBA program. I left that class after 4hrs, close to tears. Not because I didn’t know what I was doing or what was being said but because it just felt hard. It just felt like a struggle. It felt like I couldn’t do it. It felt like I would fail. And the truth is that fear is healthy IF you can harness it. I left that class with tears in my eyes but I knew I was going to make sure I leave with smiles at the end of the class. This class made me challenge myself but also reevaluate why I was getting this degree and my future goals. I even briefly considered not writing #WhatTheHeckMan anymore. Sigh. I was sad.
There are things in your life, do they challenge you anymore?
Do you have fears? Do they push you or cripple you?
Contingency plan?
I ask you today to think of your fears, think of they ways you might fail and harness them. Turn them into motivations. Own them.
I ask you today to envision greatness and you celebrating. From difficult jobs, to family situations, relationships and even balancing your crying bank account. YOU GOT THIS. I GOT THIS. WE’VE GOT THIS.
Please push harder. Fight harder. Pray harder.
Remember you are great. In everything you do.

Were you in my head yesterday?? Lol.. This piece spoke to the exact feelings I had while sitting on the plane and trying to map out my first trimester of my last year of grad school. I looked at the schedule and remembered all the horrible things my peers had to say about certain professor’s and certain subjects. I damn near started ballin on the plane, but I had to get myself together. I needed to remind myself that “there is no fatigue felt on the day of victory.” I’ve started this journey and I’m going to end it on the top. Thank you for writing this confirmation. God bless!!
This was incredibly inspiring. Sometimes there’s so much stuff going on in your life, or even nothing at all, but you lose sight of the goal and start to wonder what the fuck you’re doing and what the point of everything is.
I’ve been there, I AM there, and it’s terrifying to look at possible defeat and be crippled and paralyzed by your fears of failure (or of success).
Thanks for reminding me to resist the instinct to run away from pain or discomfort or fear, and turn it into fuel instead.
Been lurking for a while now, but this spoke to me so I’m leaving my first comment.
Thank you. Keep coming back to read more. Fan of your work too.
Wow . It’s like you know the perfect things to say at the perfect time . It’s exactly how I feel about my particular situation / situations right now . I am sure this post will help a lot of people out there . No pressure , No diamond 💎💎
let me start by thanking the Lord for you, you know just how to speak to my heart. This really helps and in a way , I always connect and relate to your writings in some way. Thank you and please don’t stop!
“Fear is healthy IF you can harness it” there is so much in that one sentance.
Now I might not be so bitter about my weekend classes
Great work and its nice to see positivity and encouragement
Definately a great read for anyone pursuing school, a career, their dreams…anything
Quite an inspiring note to start the school year. It really stood out to me ” There is no fatigue felt on the day of victory” We’ve got this like you said. Goodluck Sanmi👍👍💪💪
It’s like you read my mind and heart with this one. Many times I burden myself into thinking days full of fear, hopelessness and worry are everlasting. For me, this post was a reminder that the journey and trials will come. But they can be overcome; the time will pass. Thank you.
hold my gold medal for me at the finish line cos I’m sure getting there
an inspiring piece for my new semester
My entire undergrad and now law school struggle… and I know its only going to get worse. I never remember how hard I’ve worked to get where I am. I alwayssss forget.
