I LIKE TO BRING ABOUT A CERTAIN AWARENESS THAT SEEMS TO HAVE DRAWN MANY HEATED DEBATES AND ( WE )LL ANTICIPATED DISCUSSION' THAT MANY MAY NOT HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT WHICH WILL TAKE [ US ] INTO A FRAME OF MIND THAT WILL ALLOW ME TO GIVE MY OPINION LEADING INTO THIS METAPHOR ABOUT SALT BEING IDENTIFY AS GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT AND SUGAR AS GANGSTER DISCIPLES THESE ARE “FOUR FORCES: SALT, SUGAR, GANGSTER DISCIPLE, GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT” NOW LET’S START HERE 👇
This ain’t j[ US ]t about salt and sugar… This is about "WHAT" ( WE )’ve become vs "WHAT" ( WE )’re called to be. There are FOUR forces moving at the same time: 👉 Salt, Sugar, Gangster Disciple, Growth & Development
And if ( WE ) don’t understand their function… ( WE ) will misidentify [ OUR ] own role in [ OUR ] families are communities and in [ OUR ] organization.
THIS IS THE MASTER KEY HERE 👉FUNCTION OVER FEELING: 👇
SALT = PRESERVATION IS THE STANDARD. It stops decay, Protects "WHAT" matters, It adds "WHAT"S needed, not "WHAT" feels good
Works in silence but changes everything. It's function: 👉 It
sustain life, have structure, and order
SUGAR = INDULGENCE: THIS IS THE DISTRACTION 👉 It feels good instantly, It is addictive, it has no structure, and no discipline and with
too much of it' It can destroys from within. It's Function: 👉 temporary pleasure, LONG-TERM damage.
NOW IF ( WE ) APPLY THIS UNDERSTANDING TO [ OUR ] DAILY LIVES THIS IS "WHERE" TRUTH CAN TEACH [ US ]: 👉 “GANGSTER DISCIPLE” ( MISAPPLIED ) = SUGAR-DRIVEN IDENTITY: Let’s be real and precise… This is NOT "WHAT" the founders intended, but it’s "WHAT" many have turned it into. 👉 Name over knowledge 👉 Image over integrity 👉 Loyalty without correction 👉 Emotion over instruction 👉 Chaos disguised as culture. These function of today in many cases: 👉 Has Creates ego highs Produces reaction, not strategy, Feeds cycles of violence, prison, and loss. NOW HERE THE HARD TRUTH: 👉 If it’s not building… it’s sugar... no matter "WHAT" ( WE ) call it.
“GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT” = SALT-LEVEL EVOLUTION This is the correction. The elevation. The intention of the foundation. 👉Principles over popularity
👉 Discipline over desire
👉 Correction over comfort
👉 Structure over conf[ US ]ion
👉 Legacy over reputation
THE FUNCTION IS THIS: 👉 It Preserves the people, 👉 Rebuilds the mindsets, 👉 Teaches responsibility, 👉 Creates builders, and not j[ US ]t members
THE TRUTH IS THIS IN MY OPINION: 👉 Growth & Development ain’t a new thing… It’s the true form of "WHAT" was always supposed to be.
THE DANGEROUS CONFUSION IS THIS: 👉 SAME COLORS. SAME WORDS. DIFFERENT FUNCTION.
J[ US ]t like salt and sugar: 👉 They look alike, Sit in the same place,
Get [ US ]ed by the same people
But one saves the meal… and the other, "WHEN" mis[ US ]ed, ruins it.
HERE THE CLARITY THAT I'LL LIKE TO BREAKDOWN SO ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY CAN GET IT: THIS WILL
FORCE [ US ] TO LEARN "WHAT" IT FEELS LIKE AND "WHAT" IT PRODUCES AND THIER TRUE FUNCTION 👇
SUGAR: 👉 Good, Fast acting, Exciting, Addictive, Leading to imbalances, seem to give off pleasure.
SALT: 👉 Strong, Sharp, Necessary
Preservation, Stability, Protection
GANGSTER DISCIPLE "WHEN" ( IF MIS[ US ]ED ) it ab[ US ]es thier Authority, It seeks Power, Have no Respect, Creates fear amongst thier Peers, Keep up Chaos, Cycles loss and have some Misguided Identity.
GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT
Love Discipline, Loves Accountability
Embraces Structure, keep up Legacy,
Love to see Evolution.
( WE ) don’t have to leave the foundation… ( WE ) have to become "WHAT" it was meant to be.
👉 From Sugar GD TO Salt Growth & Development, This means: 👉 Stop chasing image and Start building impact, Stop protecting wrong and Start correcting right, Stop feeding ego and Start feeding structure
Stop reacting and Start thinking and teaching
If ( WE ) say ( WE )’re apart of something… Then answer this beloved: 👉 Are ( WE ) preserving [ US ]… or decaying [ US ]?
Beca[ US ]e: 👉 ( WE ) can’t claim Growth & Development and still operate in sugar ( WE ) can’t ( WE )ar the name and ignore the responsibility
LET ME GIVE MY FINAL THOUGHTS HERE: 👉 Salt builds nations.
Sugar builds addictions.
Growth & Development builds people. Mis[ US ]ed GD destroys them.
