#flashbackfriday❤️ to me recently treating my father to lunch at TGI Friday’s in Trinidad 🇹🇹 Haven’t seen this man in over 22yrs due to his former incarceration and deportation back to Trinidad after my mom divorced him. I previously held A LOT of animosity and harsh feelings towards him, but back in 2015 I released those feelings to him n before God on paper in a letter 📝 I wrote to him. Although he still never took full responsibility for his actions in my feelings, I know I did my part. As a man 👨🏾 you should never bottle up your feelings to any person that HURTS you deeply, especially another man. Likewise as a King 👑 you should always be willing to speak 🗣your truth to others even when it hurts you in the process. As Kings, we are responsible for what we say and don’t say 🗣 The life we choose to live is determined by what we speak‼️ It’s NEVER good to hold onto grudges against people or family/parents because it only ends up stifling your Ascension to go to the next level⬆️. Having a man-to-man sit-down w/him was the last priority and stop on my Lost in Trinidad tour 🇹🇹 this past holiday season. Because of the rejection of being let down by my father flaking on seeing me back in 2004 (my last time in Trinidad), I refused to return until recently. But this trip for my cousin’s wedding and uncle’s funeral, God told me I had unfinished business I needed to take care of. I suggest anyone who holds a grudge against a parent, sibling or loved one, make it PLAIN and simple by having a meet-up to make things square (before you or them pass away). You don’t want to be THAT PERSON wishing you would have told someone (who you hold resentment or bitterness to) your TRUE feelings. Even if they don’t take accountability for their actions, you have done your part in speaking 🗣truth on the matter in order to freely give yourself the permission and opportunity to forgive (heal) and move onto your greatness 🙌🏾 This is my Jesus ✝️ Year and I look forward to seeing how God blesses me because of my obedience in 2018...stay tuned the journey continues 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 #blessup🙏 #blessupfridays #blessup🔑 #prodigalfather #forgivethem (at Belmont, Saint George, Trinidad And Tobago) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsOrOhVBtws/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d3wutdhjefg8
