Struggles of Moving into New Quarter

Today is April 1, usually a time for mischief. But, today it doesn’t feel like fun and games. Who wants to play pranks when real life feels like one exhausting joke?

Yesterday, I got to play some beach volleyball with my friends. The day was beautiful, the competition was good, and the company was great. But looking back through day there where little shadows of unfortunate events. The last of those being the lost of a great member of the community, Nipsey Hussle.

Every time something happened that wasn’t aligned with positive energy, I stopped, prayed, and radiated as much positivity into the universe as I could. But the end of the day, I felt drained.

I always kept in mind the first quarter of the year was coming to a close, and this was just the balance of the universe in effect. But the loss of life really drained me emotionally. This was someone I didn’t know personally, and somehow I internalized the pain as if I did.

While, the senseless murder of Nispey was tragic, I choose not to believe that the God has not forsaken his family and community. There is something greater at works and we must have faith even though reality seems so bleek.

Looking Ahead

So here, we are in a new quarter. And the last quarter still feels like its happening and the truth is, it is! Time is a construct. Just because the dates say certain times have ended, we don’t know if that is the actual design of time. We are feeling the effects of an old period into a new.

This new quarter still has the potential to be just as powerful as the last. And it’s only as real as the work we complete. So, it is our job to make sure that energy carried over from this current quarter is as positive as we can make it. We must be confident in our work and diligent in our growth to be better and inspire.
