Part two of my series “The Journey” focuses on how I became a prisoner of my own thoughts. There was an experimental study conducted by a few college Universities to study the effects of placing monkeys in a cage. The monkeys became enemies and kept each other from leaving instead of helping each other. I spent YEARS trying to break myself free of this mentality, and it wasn’t until I surrounded myself with positivity that I realized how important it was to have a community of brothers. 0:40 - Breeze’s attire 2:50 - Deontay Wilder 4:00 - Introducing Manny 7:50 - The Cage Mentality 17:00 - Responses from Manny and Breeze 35:00 - How do we break the cycle? 55:20 - Prayer

This is the first installment of a new series I’m titling “THE JOURNEY.” The journey is where true character is revealed. Most people rave about the destination because it gives them a reason to keep striving. The journey actually encourages more people because it teaches us how to remain strong, even when the destination isn’t in sight.

How can you tell if the weight you’re carrying is strengthening you or hindering you? Physically, heavy weights can be a sign of endurance. Emotionally, a heavy heart can be a sign of burdens that we are not meant to carry. I’ve learned that God is willing to help me carry heavy weights whenever I’m willing to ask for it.

What happens when a boy is told to “man up,” without ever having a man in his life? What happens when a boy doesn’t know how to treat women respectfully, because he never saw a man treating his mother respectfully? How can we encourage those who grew up without a father (or father figure) in a society that has diminished the true essence of manhood? I brought my father back for another episode to discuss the importance of masculinity, NOT the way we define it, but the way God ordained it. #TSM💪🏾
