1.Play The Game (PTG)

instead of getting angry or flustered and allowing anyone to see that they’re effecting your mood. Try doing this instead. Play the game! What do I mean, play the game you ask? You have to spot when you’re beginning to get triggered and take a step back. Play the game. If you can avoid conflict. Then avoid it. You don’t always have to be right. Although you may be. 

Whether it be dealing with your children’s mother or mothers if you have more than one like myself. Bless their hearts. Play the game. Being combative will not get you the results that you want. Use the game, play the game don’t allow the game to play you. Most of the arguments that you get into can be avoided if you realize what is happening while it is happening. 

If you see a conversation turning into an argument. Stop talking. Adjust  your tone and body language and calm the situation. Make jokes. Lighten the mood. However, you should never be a push over or a door mat. You are not a bitch just because you avoid conflict.  Play the game and make the right decisions .  The moves that will push you further up not down. 

2.Keep Your Feelings Out Of It (TYFOOI)

Stop getting angry and frustrated. Take your feelings out of it! Focus on the goals that you set. If you know you have to keep the peace in order to fund the leave then be smart and take your feelings out of it. Don’t get angry and say things that you cannot take back. The damage will already be done. If you’re receiving criticism. Don’t get mad at the person who is giving you criticism. You can listen to their advice and learn from it. Never let them see that the criticism that they are giving you is making  you emotional. Say thank you  for your opinion. I will take it into consideration. Kindly and respectfully. 

This goes for sports too. I recall times when a team of players that had nothing to do with me. Could ruin my whole week. Being too emotionally attached to anything is harmful. This goes for  rappers and actors too. Take your feelings out of it. None of them are feeding you or your family. Unless you are working for them. Which a lot of people are for free of charge. While you’re at work. Take your feelings out of it. Get the job done but don’t just get the job done, be the best at the job. However, if you’re being mistreated by a job or anyone. You shouldn’t feel bad for walking away. 

Take your feelings out of it. Don’t allow anyone to disrespect or mistreat you. Walk away. 

3.Stop Being emotional (SBE)

Stop overreacting and responding. Take your time to breathe and communicate effectively. Listen to understand. Not to respond. You know when you are beginning to feel flustered. At that moment instead of blurting out the first thing that comes to your mind. Breathe. Let that breathe be your first word. After that first breath. Take another one. Stop being emotional. Don’t let emotions cloud your decision making skills. 

When she doesn’t listen or tries to over talk you don’t get angry and start matching her energy. Simply exit from the conversation. Tell her that if she isn’t interested in talking to you respectfully and listening without interrupting. Then you will not continue the conversation. However, Make sure you don’t sound emotional. Be respectful and patient. 

While using social media stop being emotional. Don’t use social media to post subliminal messages. Also don’t argue with anyone over social media. Laugh and joke but don’t get angry or provoke. 

4.We Getting Money (WGM)

Anybody you see around me. Just know we’re getting money. Everyone is benefiting. Everyone is putting in that energy to benefit. 

If they’re around  then, they need to be getting money as well. No leeches or users. They are  playing the game. Trust me. They are playing you if they are only taking from you but never seem to give they are playing you. Everyone around you needs to be building. Take a look around at the people you call your close friends and evaluate your circle. Iron sharpens iron. 

5.Be Nice (BN)

Be nice . Stop being an asshole to her man. Excuse my language but, that won’t get you great results. We want great results. Hurting her feelings isn’t going to make her help your goals and beliefs. Smile, hug, kiss and love her. Remind her why she fell in love with you. Show her you’re still that guy just new and improved. You’ll catch more bees with honey than vinegar.  

6.Help Her Be Productive (HHBP)

Don’t stop her from being productive. Help her achieve. Because if the she achieves that’s a victory for you as well. A woman will show you a great amount of love when you support their goals and speak life and victory into them. 

Sometimes your woman needs kind words to encourage her to be productive. Some of these ladies aren’t shit but, she can still be taught new ideas. There are many ways to get a woman to be productive. It can be having her stream your music all night from a phone on mute. It could be talking her in to working security and getting an easy bag. Just help her be productive. If she needs gas money to go make more money than give it to her. If the baby moms start slacking and get on some bum shit. Talk her back into reality and give her the she’s a boss talk and make her run up a fucking bag. Excuse my language. 

7.Do What You Said You Would (DWYSYW)

If you say you’re going to do something. Then do that shit. Don’t just talk to talk. Put action behind what you say and stand on that. If you said that you were going to start working out. Then start working out. If you said that you were going to stop drinking. Then stop drinking. If you said you were going to stop watching porn. Then stop watching porn. Do what you said you would do. Point blank period. No more excuses. If you’re not going to do what you say, then stop saying it. It gets old the more you do it the more you play yourself. 

8.Think Before You Speak (TBYS)

Before you say anything. Take a couple of seconds and think about the next words you choose to use. In any situation. Let your breath be your first word. Think about your words carefully. Can they persuade or could they attack? Use persuasion to get what you want. You can actually persuade your way out of an argument and into something much better. Use intelligence and think of the best response. Even to questions that you find unnecessary. However, think before you speak. Does everyone have to hear that random thought or feeling you couldn’t keep to yourself and now everyone’s mood is off? Think about those type of things before you start blurting the first thought that comes to mind. 

9.Stick to the plan (STTP) 

Don’t switch up the plans that you set. Stick to them until you accomplish them. Then set another goal. If you have a goal of saving 200 every week then save 200 every week. Don’t switch up the plans because something else came up. Stick to the plans you set and achieve them. If you plan on moving and getting your own place then stick to the plan. Don’t fall into another trap and end up in the same situation. Stick to the plan. 

10.Don’t Yell or Scream (DYOS)

Don’t yell or scream. Calm down and breathe. Don’t interrupt when someone else is talking. Yelling at her isn’t going to accomplish anything but high blood pressure. Don’t yell or scream. Play the game. Lead her with calmness and patience 

Don’t let her play you out of your position. Be a man and hold your composure. 

11.Stay On Point. (SOP)

Stay on Point. No matter what you’re doing, no matter where you are. Remember to stay on point. Don’t be outside moving to carelessly. Make sure your papers are up to date. Make sure there is money in your checking and saving accounts . From now on the goal is to always have over a certain amount in the bank. However, much that might be for you. Keep bills on an automated system. This will help you not miss any payments. Credit is important. It should have been taught more in public school. However, staying on point involves educating yourself. While out in public stay on point. Don’t get sloppy drunk make sure you can always handle yourself. .
