What are the Bone Thug boys earning these days? Don’t matter cause they are still inferno. People just didn’t mature with there music. They really should go back to Bone Enterprise cause they are grown married men with children now and the thug era is over.
Contrary to what you may believe based upon what you have been taught in the Matrix, there is no such thing as failure or being a failure. To fail only means to achieve a result you did not desire; but nevertheless, so-called failure gives us beneficial information; information we can use to arrive at the result or goal we desire.
All so-called failure or even defeat is success inverted. Always remember this! So-called failure (and defeat) is the polarity of success. So-called failure (and defeat) makes us appreciate success and triumph when we attain them or experience them; gives us a balanced perspective of things.
When you achieve a so-called failure, you have obtained information that simply states you need to do more work, dig deeper, work harder and/or smarter, apply more effort, and have more faith!
So-called failure can lead to success for those who have strong will, courage, mental tenacity, faith, patience, and who can persevere; and more importantly, who BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES!
