Brother,
I write to you from my dining room table. It’s about 11:50 pm on the dime, cold, a small cool breeze to keep my toes curled.
I miss you, man.
I miss when we use to play at the basketball court at the park. You were always the best on the court. I was so proud to say yep, that’s my older brother.
It’s crazy how much life has changed bro. It seemed like we were kids only a few years ago. As time flies and we sit on our own spaces. I know you, like me. Sit and think of the world and the possibilities of life.
Don’t ever let the beauty of life go bro. I dare you not to. Never let your current situation make you believe this is what forever looks like because it doesn’t. For every second that passes, is only opportunities for us to shine our best shine.
You have every second to be your best. Every second to have the most respect for another living person. A second to have faith.
I know you’re in one of the wildest places ever but your still somewhere. I can write this letter and by the grace of God, it gets to you and you read this and just smile. Smile because you are reading this, this very second. I’m smiling with you right now and it only took seconds to think about it and make it happen.
Use your seconds wisely and think of your next move. Think of the next decisions for the next decisions like chess.
You, like me, are only human beings trying to make the best out of the time we have. We are supposed to go through tough things to make us tougher. Believe it or not, you’re in your situation right now because that's how it's supposed to be right now.
I wouldn’t be as strong as I am if I didn’t have you in your situation. You make me stronger. Like how people make people stronger. At least that’s what believe. I believe all things will change in this world. Even if it’s making someone else life better.
People affect people in so many ways.
Look how people are changed by situations. Look at all the change created by Martin Luther King Jr. He changed things in a huge way. He wasn’t afraid to use his voice and knew he had power.
Bro, to be real. I’ve been reading some shit lately about becoming an Arthur. I think that’s something you should really consider doing big bro. Just like Martin Luther King Jr. use your voice bro. Allow your words to tell stories. Think of things and write it down and keep writing bro.
I’m starting to have this belief in writing bro. It sets you free because you can write about anything.
Have you ever dreamed of owning a business or hanging out with some cool ass people on an island or traveling the world? Bring it to life with your words.
Write bro.
Writing may be the key to success bro. I’m not playing at all. With the world, we live in right now. It’s not hard to get a good story out to the world. You just have to consistently work at it. Whatever you stay consistent at and never stop marketing and putting stuff out to the world. It will work.
For some strange reason, the world will accept it now. Especially if it’s honest and from a true heart.
When I say honest, I mean honest out of your own mind. We all as human beings think different about things and we can do anything we want to do. There are no limitations.
With this new millennium, we are currently in and this new technological world we're moving towards. It doesn’t matter your situation anymore. It doesn’t matter where you live. Nothing matters anymore. The world wants people who do things now.
Everyone wants to hear the new story. Everyone wants to believe things are possible through the eyes of another human being. That's where the belief comes from.
Sorry for just going on and on. I just want you to know that anything is still possible bro. Don’t let prison stop your mind and body from success bro. You could create a story that is a hit and goes viral and helps you get out that bitch. Or you could create something that not only helps you but helps out the family as well bro.
Don’t let that place get you not to believe bro. That's why that place was created. But If you have a pen and paper or a computer to type on, get it going, bro. The best stories we tell now and the shit that goes viral now is shit just from real ass people.
Now, I cannot guarantee that anything will actually happen. But what I can guarantee is a shot. And the more shots you take by creating and putting out to the world your thoughts and ideas, the more chances you have to swing at success.
Remember It’s all about consistency. To be real that's the hardest part. The one thing that holds most people back is that consistency. Things always sound good and easy when there is no plan and it could happen over night mentality.
Nothing great or nothing that is worth real value happened over night. And if you know of something that did. That shits very rare and that's not the way life works.
The great things take time. The great thing took none stop moving towards a specific goal. Michael Jordan would not have been Michael Jordan if he didn't have any goals.The goal is what matters.
See, the goal is what's going to allow you to track your progress for you to see it yourself grow. Unlike rich people who have secretaries. The regular people must do things themselves and watch their own schedules. Everything starts with a single idea, which turned into actions, which lead to consistency, to give results of success.
Bro, you have everything in you to be the best you can be in this world. Never believe what anyone says. Never believe your current situation is your only situation because it’s not.
You still have years and a whole lot of chances at bat.
To me, life is about living your life to the fullest and leaving valuables pieces behind. You know heroes of the times because of the pieces they left for you and the world.
They left their work for us. They left their thoughts and ideas behind. Those thoughts and ideas are so strong. They are strong because they made it possible for you to give something they created value. There are so many people in this world you could call the greatest people of all time.
But I got a secret for you.
Are you ready?
You are Greatest, you are the secret. It's your mind and actions you decided to take. You are important enough to create something everyone could have and share forever. The only thing that stopping it from happing is you.
You have to grab your balls and figure out what the fuck you like, what the fuck you would like and start writing.
Create your visions. Create stories that make people uncomfortable. Tell stories that make you cry when you're writing it. Create stories that would encourage a youngster who may need to hear your words and finally straightens up. Write a story to kids.
You are the Great person that could do great things if you wanted to. You just have to truly want to.
One thing I’ve learned from reading many books is that you must do things successful people have done before you. When you look at history and the outcomes of society. Everyone wants to be successful. Everyone wants to believe they can do it.
The shits that's crazy is that it is possible. Based on your situation, you may not be able to think about what you can do to move forward. But I'll tell you right now, writing is an option for you.
I wrote this to tell you to write. Write a novel or something you think would be valuable to one person in this world. It doesn't even have to be long.
All it needs is a beginning and ending.
I’m taking this online class from the University of Irvine on this app called Cousera. It’s an online class on doing presentations and she was talking about the importance of story telling.
All a story needs is a grabbing intro, some grabbing meat to keep the reader's interested and close it out.
Yes, it’s a lot more difficult than it sounds, but it is that easy. At least from what I’ve read. I’m currently working on a book right now.
I’ll go into it on another letter though. This one is getting super long.
Let me know your thoughts on this bro. Let me know if you're want to get into this writing world with me. Whatever you produce, I’ll do my part and market it.
You already have a story to tell right now. I’ll tell you this bro. This shit feels good to see things unfold. Once you start getting into a good thought, the shit just starts pouring out.
But again let me know if your down and we can move on to phase two.
I love you, just sitting here at my table thinking about you and what we could possibly do to still create an amazing future for us, bro.
I Love You.
Hit me back…
Your loved one, your little brother.
Travis
