If you’re not on Fromgirltogirl’s instagram, you’re missing out. One of my good friends, Javone Jones ( representing New Jersey) gives sound advice everyday, especially on business and relationships.
Recently we had a natural instagram discussion on the keys to success.
The discussion originally came from an instagram post where I discussed Chris Brown getting back with his ex Karrueche. Karrueche got Chris Brown back not because she was desperate to get him back but based on him being drawn to her positive attitude. She let go and lived her life.Sometimes you have to do that so a man can grow no matter how much you love him or want him to be there when you want. If it is meant to be, it will be.
Javone chimed in that he hopes I am getting my life together because I’m too old not to not follow through. He is right. It’s about time I get my life together and use the keys to success to get it in order. I told him he just won’t give me a break.
Javone told me he was happy for me because my career choices seem like on track for greatness. I believe it. Focused.
I told him I am trying as that little engine that could. He told me do say could…do.
He told me:
I feel I need to get on your level, you got yourself established while I’m still in the works. The only thing I got going for myself is the fact that I have confidence and a security in myself to do what I do. Even though I don’t have the knowledge of an elite person, I have better know than the average person in my craft.
I immediately informed him that I’m not established but I’m starting to see results. I pray to God for guidance. I told Javone his confidence and security will go a long way! Believe me, it’s the best asset a person can have in life.
Knowledge can help but street smarts and common sense are far more valuable. I told him he has all 3 ( book smarts, street smarts and common sense).
He informed me:
That is true but do u know how much dumb shit I’ve done to get to where I’m at? Cost me at times to be a little gun shy. I pray to God that I’m doing right because I can very well fall flat on my face but I have fallen on my face so many times that I’m not scared of it anymore. From what I learn that is a key to success because I’m not timid, I’m making “sure” moves. I set results but nothing concrete. I’m just all in at this point because there is no “if’s”, it only “yes’s” because I truly wholeheartedly believe I’m destined for success and that’s why I’m as confident as I am.
I told Javone: I’m taking that advice. You give good advice. I pray great things happen soon for you.
