Carpe Diem: Seize the Day to "Turn Up"

4 Comments

Why do people only get "turned up" in reference to partying? The phrase reminds me of "Yolo"; "Yolo-ing" gave people a manifested excuse to live recklessly. The unabash abused the term, and pop culture illustrated it as a Mecca for a reason to party with insane behavior. Reinvented in "turning-up", people have lost perspective on the infinite ways to apply the term.

Let's get "turned up" a different way. When we have plans to go out or party, we usually do 3 things: invite others, pick a location, and buy an outfit. We map out our swag, so that we feel confident in ourselves. The people we invite are 9 times out of 10 our friends and/or family, or people we feel comfortable "kicking it with". Rather you are single, married, young, or older you want to draw attention to who YOU are and what status you represent when you step out.

On the flip side, how do we "turn up" to a better our way of living? Let's look at it like the 3 steps to partying: invite people to be a part of a opportunity, make sure the opportunity is dynamic and will be worthwhile for you and others involved, put your best "swag" on by educating yourself on the path to success in your opportunity and dressing for the part when you're promoting the opportunity; in other words brand yourself so your reputation has clout. Three steps could change the quality of life you live.

People who invest in growing people have a niche in understanding how you create a sustaining magnitude of success. It comes with an aggressive attitude towards your ambition. At a criminals core, money is usually the driving force of their ruthlessness, just like the average person seeking a better way to have MORE. Carpe Diem to "turn up".

This was an amazing point of view. I love it!! Keep the writing coming cousin. Us educated & experienced minds have a moral obligation/duty to clear the cloud that blankets the masses. We must WAKE THEM UP to the reality that is real and unplug them from the matrix. As it's explained in the book The Four Agreements, " people are sleep walking in an obscure place they call reality!" I live in accordance with what the main actor in 12 years a Slave said, "I don't want to just exist, I want to LIVE!" I'm "turnt up" on the "AWAKENING!" Again, let's Wake Them Up Now! ;-)

I am all for the turn up in every aspect of our lives. We must open the minds and hearts of our world to live in the same word but different meanings O yea Homonyms, turn up for your career, turn up for your family, turn up in your involvement, turn up in your relationships. Finally, and yes still turn up when its party time. If not you who, if not now when, man TURN UP.
