Feel free to write some bars if the mood strikes.

We say we love rap but how often are we rapping? Did you make time to rap, write or freestyle?

I've been focused on reconstruction this week. Not from the aspect of copying the reference but attempting to reconstruction the building blocks based on one's own interpretation. Have u every heard a song so good that u wanted to make ur own version of it? Tell us which song and how did u approach the task? And describe the outcome for us.

Let's try something different with 4BAD this week. I invite you to post a photo of your 4 bars. Because some of you may be writing 4 bars a day, meaning to post them, but forget. I don't want sharing your bars to feel like extra work, so I hope posting a picture makes it simpler. Typing your bars in the comments is still acceptable, too. Just giving balance and options. The reminder for the 4 Bars a Day (4BAD) structure 4 lines 8-12 syllables per line End in rhyme Every time you write 4 bars a day, you have an opportunity to experience flow. Which is good for your well-being.

What are you committed to? Too often I allow the how to limit my commitment to a goal. If I don't know the steps then I tiptoe instead of march towards what I want. Where might you be doing this in your life? Committing to the life we want doesn't mean we know how to make it a reality. More often we are freestyling until we find something that feels like progress. But when we don't commit fully, the uncertainty increases problems, shrinks our capabilities, and we get stuck in our heads. I am committed building a growth rap movement. To that end, here's your opportunity to write your 4 bars this week. For those that need it, remember: 4 bars a day is... 4 lines 8-12 syllables per line End in rhyme Daily! Genius over doubt -Desmond
