November 19th, 2018 was a speech that had everyone scratching their heads a little bit.
This was the day that Snoop Dogg received his star at the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.
After thanking numerous people for their support over the years for their efforts in helping him get to the point he was at, Snoop finally took a turn that received mostly laughs because people thought it was a joke:
He thanked himself.
“I want to thank me for believing in me, I want to thank me for doing all this hard work. I wanna thank me for having no days off. I wanna thank me for never quitting. I wanna thank me for always being a giver and trying to give more than I receive. I wanna thank me for trying to do more right than wrong. I wanna thank me for being me at all times, Snoop Dogg you a bad motherf**ker.”
If you watch the video again, people laughed like it was a joke.
Hell, even he chuckled.
News outlets decided to run that 50 seconds worth of video as some sort of abnormality that someone would actually thank themselves during a speech.
When I watched it I thought the same thing.
Now I view it differently.
A lot differently.
Along this journey of life, there will be a lot of people that will be there to assist you when you are down, just starting out, struggling, and succeeding. These individuals will offer assistance and guidance and send you on your way to be a better version of yourself at work or personally.
Here’s the catch: it’s up to you to take the advice and guidance then decide to work your ass off to build on it to be who you want to be and what you want.
When success is found in any certain area we tend to glamorize the guidance and message more than the hard work we put in to make the dream a reality.
