Don't Complain, Adjust!

We live in a world of captions and quotes now. Every day, minute, and hour someone is trying to think of the catchiest, coolest, most boisterous way to get their "mood" across to the world. "Don't Complain, Adjust!" is more than that to me. Always have been. I believe in affirmations. I believe in energy. I believe in speaking things into existence. That being said, a year or two ago, I was at a crossroads. I was letting a lot of bad energy affect me. Like always, I looked to music or quotes or quotes from music to change that energy and motivate me. "Don't Complain, Adjust" came to me one day as a product of all the things that I was ingesting at that time. It was a reality check to myself. I started tweeting it every single morning. Not for retweets or likes per say, but my intention was to give good energy out to people, all the while giving myself that daily reminder also. Eventually it started to catch on. People started retweeting it and liking it. People started replying saying "Thanks, I needed this today" or something to the sort. That made me feel good because it was touching people, not because it was hitting a certain retweet number. Everyday we are around people, literally or virtually, and we don't know what they are truly going thru or dealing with on. Everyday people are venting their frustrations directly or indirectly and that energy becomes contagious. Naturally. Unfortunately, negative energy moves like Usain Bolt and positive energy moves like the time clock at work after lunch. The consistency in which I was tweeting "Don't Complain, Adjust" led people to say, "Hey you should put this on a shirt". I didn't want to do it. I didn't want to do it because EVERYBODY has a shirt line. Plus "Don't complain, adjust" wasn't a money grab for me. But more and more people said it and it made me reconsider it. A good friend of mine, Anthony Hezekiah, already had a beautiful clothing line, Lords (Living Our Ridiculous Dreams) that I loved. I loved what the acronym stood for but more so than that, I believed in his passion and vision for the line. I had already purchased a couple of pieces a year before that so now that I wanted to put this vision across my chest, I wanted to go partner with someone who I knew would understand, this isn't about money! We met a few times, discussed the vision, and got to work. We got the right shirts, the right quality, the logo and we executed the vision. After seeing people love the shirts and wear them everywhere, across different states and different races it inspired me to not only continue to print up more, but to not be shy about putting other ideas out. But this is forever the foundation and forever my motto, if you purchase a shirt or not, if you love the shirts or not, think about the words carefully and if they help you get through anything, my job is done. We will always face different things in life, approach them head on! Don't Complain, Adjust!
