Hello World and welcome to the
first post on the new BossOfMe blog!
I’m back like I never left. Don’t
call it a comeback though because, to be honest, I really didn’t ever
leave. I’ve just been in the lab working
like Dexter trying to concoct the perfect formula to deliver to the people
(that would be you). Unfortunately, DeeDee has been in the laboratory distracting me, so it took a little longer than
anticipated for me to deliver the recent breakthroughs and creations of newfound
knowledge in the field of life. That
being said, I believe this is the third time that I’ve made a post like this;
one that introduces the new idea behind the blog, brand, etc. Though, I feel that this time is
different. Why? Well, for one, as we all know, the third time
is the charm (duh). But two, and more
importantly, the fact that you are reading this right now means that the grind
for BOM has officially begun; the grind of becoming something special.
When I
decided on the name BossOfMe, please understand that it was not meant to be a
call to rebellion. BOM is a realization
of self in understanding what we truly desire out of our lives, while achieving
a peace of mind in knowing that complete self-fulfillment is imminent because
of the pursuit of a particular passion.
If you desire rebellion, then go ahead and be about that life, but
understand that that is not the main mission for us. Have you ever really wanted something or to
be something, but were told that you couldn’t because (insert reason
here)? Or maybe you were told that you
should study (insert major here) because it will get you a high paying job one
day. In life, I have found that people
want us to fit into a mold; one of this “American Dream” that says we need a
wife, a son and daughter, family dog, a house in the suburbs with a white
picket fence, and some great neighbors named Tom and Lisa who have been happily
married for 18 years and still act like newlyweds.
Not many people are truly meant for that lifestyle. Some people are, and I don’t knock that at all. As long as that is what you really want, more power to you. There are many
of us though who aren’t made for that life, but we have never had anyone say that
it is okay to live a different one. How
are we supposed to know that it is okay to be different? We could all just listen to a little 2 Chainz
or try on a Russell Westbrook outfit.
But I thought I could try and do something to open the minds off the
confused people who are feeling that they are supposed to do one thing, when
they aspire to be something that means much more to them. Pursuing passions is the only way to achieve
happiness. Do you know why people say
that money won’t buy you happiness?
Because there are so many people who only chase the money and forget
about the delights of doing what they love.
If there isn’t a certain level of infatuation that we have in our work,
then why do it? Do what you love,
regardless of what others may think about it.
BOM is here to support those who do or are trying to chase their true dreams and declare
that they are the boss of themselves and their destiny.
I have only recently discovered and
began to implement my own power in the past 8 months, so this message is not coming from a condescending pulpit. It is coming from even ground and looking you in the eye asking you to think about yourself. The reason being that I am on
the same journey as you in discovering myself and what I want to do with my
life. Something that I have realized in
that time it is that no one can really make me do anything that I don’t want
to. This doesn’t mean that I’ve become
disrespectful to those that are in positions of authority (parents, employers,
professors). It only means that I
understand that I am in control of me and the destiny that I covet. Our ambitions will control our futures, and
ambition derives from doing what we desire.
At the end of the day, you are the boss of you and I am the boss of
me. Listen to other’s input or
suggestions, but be able to trust in whatever it is that you believe in. Be
confident in yourself becoming successful and going about it in your own way. Success has no template. We don’t have to do what another individual
says or go their route in life because we are all different and have to find
our own individual way. American author
Wilfred Peterson said, “Champion the right to be yourself; dare to be different
and to set your own pattern, live your own life, and follow your own star.”
(S/o to Google for the quote)
So, in
order to spread our message of self-empowerment, BOM has created an account on every single
social network site. Yes, we are on
Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Vine (I need a link for this!!!).
All of those are under one name: @WeAreBOM. We also have a Tumblr and will be blogging here too.
We will eventually get to Youtube, but we’re broke nahmean! So
after we save up some money, we’ll get a camera and begin making some
humorous/life-changing videos. Until
then, here is our plan for each social network:
Twitter & Instagram – Quotes of inspiration to help you
stay on track, as well as a little humor that is also known as real life.
Pinterest – Showing y’all the things that we like at BOM and
sharing any new designs of logos or tees
Vine (I need a link!!!!) – Just us doing some fun stuff. Would you like a little realness and seeing
how we live?
Blogspot & Tumblr – My favorite form of expression has
always been writing, so here is where you will get the most out of our beliefs,
what we enjoy, and what we think is funny.
We will try and get up a few posts a week, and we will feature guest
writers as much as possible as well.
(I’d do all the post, but I’ve already failed at that twice. It’s time for a new approach.)
Please understand that this is for
y’all. We want your input as much as possible.
If you want more material, let us know.
If you want less material, let us know.
We are here to express ourselves in order for you to have an opportunity
to express yourself. “Empowering the
perceived powerless.” I guess I’m just
tired of people perceiving themselves as powerless because of what employers,
friends, family, or society tells us. We
have the power to do, think, and believe in whatever we want. Therefore, you and I are the bosses of
ourselves. Only you can decide what it
is that makes you happy, and what makes you determined to achieve your
dreams. We all like what we like, so do
what you do.
I hope that we at BOM are able to
help change someone’s perspective out there somewhere. Like I have written in this post, BossOfMe is
more than a brand; it is a compilation of ideas and views related to real
subjects that affect our daily lives. We want to share this with the world. Mutes Mundum.
We all have a chance to be ourselves and I hate that we allow other’s
opinions to impede our progress of realizing our full potential of being successful
human beings. Anyways! Go follow us on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Vine (Can someone please find me a link?!?!?!) @WeAreBOM. Make sure to check out the blogs daily as
well and comment to let us know what you want us to write about. And, finally, be on the lookout for shirts
coming soon that have this stupiddumb insanely dope logo!
We’ll be back tomorrow with a little Music
Monday. Until then, deuces brodie!
