BDR Prison Story. "Lessons are Blessings too"

                                      As I sat at the precinct, in a cold cell the size of a New York City apartment, the band on my wrist read “Robbery.” I asked myself “what’s this? What does this mean? Is this my life? Is this whom I become? All I could think of is all that I ever aspired to be: a Businessman, an Entrepreneur, and a Young Mogul, someone that inspired others to live out their dreams. A young man whose purpose is bigger than himself. I asked myself how I ended up in such an unlikely situation, in which I didn’t foresee. I couldn’t yet figure this out because I couldn’t grasp my thoughts. This was a dream to me.
Until I was called to see the judge and I was told I was being charged with “Robbery’ and server other chargers. My bail was 15,000. My mind was racing, I didn’t know what to do or how to feel. I did what I knew best, I stood up kept my head up and told myself man up and I did just that. I got my thoughts together and realized I have allowed my demons to take control of my life. I realized that I allowed myself to become all that I once said I wasn't. Funny right? Sometimes in life you have to become everything you’re not to become one with yourself.

Once I realized this I understood the meaning of my life. I realized that I wasn’t this person that was sitting in this cell. I realized that this was all just a wakeup call. God wanted to show me something and I was well aware of the signs. I was also aware of the “BDR” that was written on the wall of my cell across from me as I laid on the top bunk at The House of Corrections where I spend the remainder of my time. In that moment I knew BDR was bigger than me. My brand was where I needed to focus all my energy, in order to become all I aspired to be. God will rearrange your entire life to show you what’s for you, pay attention. I did.
