How To H.U.S.T.L.E.

Can the financially finagled and frustrated flip into the fruitful?

The answer to the aforementioned question is simple. Yes. However, most of us do not know how or where to begin this process. With this ignorance running rampant like bulls in Spain the narrator of this binary manuscript is here to inform thou that becoming a monetary matador is possible. This is not some late night money making scheme infomercial type hype. This is going to require one to dig deep, sacrifice and use the innate ability that the all-mighty has given all of us. This ability is the intangible trait of being able to make progression.

We all have to learn the ability to H.U.S.T.L.E (Help Us Secure Tangible Long-term Endeavors). Often we as humanity associate this term with negative connotations such as drugs and prostitution however, being able to h.u.s.t.l.e. is so much more than this.

Check his.story (the chronological story of him the original hustla). He was brown-skinned, hair texture of wool, a pure heart designed to allow us to make mistakes in our h.u.s.t.l.e. and he appears in every major spiritual text known to man. In short he is constant, consistent and always there which is exactly like the thing we have in common with him. A soul. We all have a soul and in order to understand our soul’s purpose we have to learn to h.u.s.t.l.e. We have to put our self out there and try different things in order to learn what we are passionate enough to h.u.s.t.l.e. about.

Before the text of different ways to h.u.s.t.l.e. continues, allow the raconteur to give the reader this statement. The almighty wants us to make money as long as we keep our purpose in perspective and do not allow that pursuit to become the soul purpose of our h.u.s.t.l.e.

We all have a natural ability or abilities at which we excel more so than our brethren.

If one has a passion for the arts then pursue it. Of course this is easier said than done but, once again this will not be easy. Find a location that allows one to display this talent for free. Get out and talk to other people. Spoken word, rap or singing: then find a weekly venue. Every major city has at least one. If you are not in a major city then find one. Art, photography or web/graphic design: then give your work away for free and build a buzz. Work a day job to get by until the buzz is strong enough to make that your business. If writing is your love: then learn to write query letters. Find publications that are seeking writers. Use the internet because it has a low cost and has more daily viewers than any other entity in the world excluding television. Write that novel or those short stories. Do not allow a nine to five to stop that progression.

If one has a passion for empirical numbers then pursue it. In order to do this money is necessary so sacrifice is a must. Wait on the new handbag and outfit. Save that money. Avoid a car note if possible by outright purchasing a used vehicle. If one cannot avoid a note then purchase a vehicle that is two to three years old. A car depreciates the most in value during its first three years. That means avoid purchasing depreciable items. Stick to things that have great odds of increasing in value. Things like stocks, mutual funds, bonds, certificates of deposit (CD), individual retirement accounts (IRA), real estate, small businesses and 401k accounts if one’s place of employment has that option. Do the research find out how all of these things work. After all, libraries and the internet are free.

All of these things are possible for any of us even the homeless. Anyone can recover from a bad situation so no excuses are allowed. The world's most intelligent person is a paraplegic. So what is your excuse (An excuse is the closest thing to a lie without telling one)?

Finally there are some specific characteristics that a person who knows the h.u.s.t.l.e. must understand.

Swagger! One must have swagger. This does not mean arrogance or self-absorption it means subtle confidence. It means being confident enough to be able to keep one’s accomplishments to oneself when things are in your favor. No one likes a bragger so save the self-bravado oration and allow one’s actions to speak for them self. Trust me if you are handling things people will take notice.

Fear? Believe it or not one must have fear. Fear allows us to be able to think rationally about whether or not something is a good idea. If we did not have fear we would do everything that we feel without any mental recourse. It also gives us strength because when we conquer it our passion and swagger only grows stronger.

Spirituality. This does not mean religion it means knowing that our strength and soul did not come from a big bang theory. It came from a being that is infinitely more powerful than us. That means it can be taken from us in the flash of an instance. Spirituality allows us to remain humble and be thankful the positive and accept the negative as growth in our soul’s progression.

Maturity. Learn from mistakes of the past so better decisions can be made in the future. That is why history is so imperative to man. It allows us to continue down the path productivity.

Network. Develop positive relationships and keep contact. We must surround ourselves with people that have a desire to make progression just like us. They understand our h.u.s.t.l.e. and are willing to help us if they have been where we are. In turn it is our duty to help those that we encounter who are taking steps that we have already taken. Eventually, we will establish a network for our children. That is community development at its finest.

Philanthropies? That is correct give back to that which allowed one to reach the place where one is. This does not necessarily mean financially. The writer of this manuscript firmly believes that giving time is just as important as making monetary contributions. If one only has a single expendable hour a week to give. Then give exactly that with no guilt. Imagine if all people gave one hour a week back. A major difference could be made.

Love! Love yourself. When it comes down to it, we must learn to love ourselves before we can have a passion or love for anyone or anything else. That means forgiving ourselves for any mistakes that we have made. If the all-mighty can do it, then why can’t we.

Love yourself and learn to H.U.S.T.L.E.

-Peace-
