Yo, what's good, it's your boy Steele, and today we're gonna talk about what Nipsey tweeted about here - shortcuts. Yeah, you heard me right. And let me tell you, they might seem like a great idea at the time, but they could actually be sabotaging your success.

Now I know we live in a world where everything is about instant gratification. We want what we want and we want it now. We don't want to put in the work or the effort, we just want the quick results. And that's where shortcuts come in. They're a tempting solution to the problem of wanting success without the work. But let me tell you, they're not the answer.

Shortcuts can be a sign of laziness and lack of motivation. When you take shortcuts, you're not putting in the work that's necessary to achieve your goals. You're cheating yourself out of the satisfaction of knowing that you put in the effort and saw the results of your hard work. And, let me tell you, that feeling of satisfaction is priceless.

When you take shortcuts, you're also deceiving yourself into thinking that you're making progress. The reality is that you're not. Sure, you might see some quick results, but they won't last. Eventually, the shortcuts will catch up to you, and you'll be right back where you started. It's like trying to build a house on a shaky foundation. It might look good at first, but it's only a matter of time before it all falls apart.

So what's the answer? Well, it's pretty simple. Stay focused and determined. Don't let the temptation of quick results deceive you into thinking you're making progress. Instead, put in the work. See the process through. And when you do achieve your goals, you'll be able to look back with pride and satisfaction, knowing that you earned every bit of success that came your way.

Remember, success is not something that's handed to you on a silver platter. It's something that you have to work hard for, something that you have to earn. But trust me when I say, the hard work is worth it. The feeling of accomplishment and pride that comes with achieving your goals is unlike anything else in this world.

So don't fall into the trap of shortcuts. Stay focused, stay determined, and keep pushing towards your goals. Because at the end of the day the only person you're cheating is yourself if you take the easy way out. Believe in yourself and your abilities, and don't be afraid to put in the work that's necessary to achieve your dreams. 

Remember, there are no shortcuts to success, but with hard work and determination, anything is possible. So keep striving for greatness and don't let anyone or anything stand in your way.

Now go RUN A LAP 🏁
