Before you start reading this blog post, I would like you to actually READ the picture of the contract my awesome sidder Kashia Marshall made for her youngest son, Shawn "Punchie" Marshall...
Dope isn't it? How many times have YOU had to have someone else motivate you to get going? How many times did YOU want to quit, but someone else didn't let you? Who's MOM does something like this?
Apparently MY sister (aka sidder) does! How cool is this?!?! How awesome is it to have #HEART instilled in you before you even know the concept of it? How many kids grow into adults (this term can be used lightly, and we ALL know THIS is true) and have absolutely no testicular fortitude?
My kick ass sidder has set the ground rules for the upcoming season and hopefully the rest of my nephew's life. It may seem "hard" that he can only cry if he's bleeding or has a broken bone, but what happens to his #Toughness if he crys over something trivial?
I'll tell you what happens...he becomes a whiner, a complainer and everything is somebody else's fault. Period. And this is something he'll carry with him for the rest of his life. I don't want this, his Moms doesn't want this...and I KNOW his Pops doesn't want this (even though he's a Giant's fan...I won't take that any further).
This contract will most definitely set my nephew Shauny on the right track to realize the true definition of #HEART for himself when he gets older. He may not appreciate it now, and he may not realize the ramifications of this contract. But WE do. And when he gets older, he will too.
Thank you Sidder for making so important look so simple and understandable. This is easily one of the illest things I have EVER seen...
