I'm sure we all have people we consider "Best Friends".... That's my dawg, ace in a hole and that person has my back. As I've grown older and matured, different lessons in life have shown me, that ( as the saying goes) " Everyone can't sit in your front row". Each day brings forth space to grow : and yes, even with being in my 30's, daily lessons in life exist.
While on this journey of becoming GREAT, some awesome people have been put in my path. If I sat and named them all, my laptop would stop working because I'd be dropping monsoon tears as I recollect on each of their importance to my life and my family's. Moving from my area of comfort(Boston) to a place where NOBODY knew my name(Georgia) was hard. But, the people made the transition great. and I can never forget, God had (and still does) had my back. I must admit, when your level of comfort has been removed, you learn where your true inner strength comes from.
However, today's lesson has shown me that, just because you have that one" dawg" sitting on your lawn( circle), doesn't mean they always have your best interest at heart. What good is it to have a beautiful lawn full of holes( missing people who have added to your life) because that ole ugly mangy "dawg" has dug everything up? You can't sit in my front row and attempt to be my "dawg" when you're behind my back trying to play Mr/Ms cut throat and knock people out of their positions.
It's clear, we all need to know our positions...Whether it be a personal position, business position or professional position, know it and play it well . Yes, there'll be some big dawgs( my ride or dies) and some little dawgs( people who handle the light work but still represent). While each carry a different type of importance; if you're my true dawg, you will NOT undermine the decisions I make and go behind my back like a sneaky snake. If you're my dawg be my dawg, don't change up your disguise to mastermind my demise. It would be a sad day in HELL to wake up and the people who have added luster, helped me to shine are all gone and I'm stuck with just you... Still digging away until nobody wants to stay...
Good true dawgs exist whether big or small: but still be mindful because the dawg with the biggest bark can just as well be the smallest dawg filled with the most spite....
Signed,
A Good Dawg, without a Leash~

So many times people's true colors/intentions come out when you need them to truly step up to the plate. It's often during these trying times you are surprised as who has your back and who truly doesn't.
