The Gift of Profound Advice

In a world overflowing with noise and opinions, truly profound advice is a rare and priceless gift. It doesn’t shout; it resonates. It doesn’t demand attention; it earns reflection. These are the words that shift our perspective, reframe our struggles, and light the way forward when the path seems dim. This is why those in a position of control control the narrative of thought for too many. Those who have gained knowledge, money, and power from ill-gotten methods are extremely sensitive to anyone else, gaining what they believe solely belongs to themselves. However, I believe if you truly earned what you have, there’s no need to worry about the next person because you know you can create.

Profound advice often comes not from those with the loudest voices but from those who have lived, observed, and understood. A single sentence, offered at the right time, can become a turning point in someone’s life.

If you’ve ever received such guidance, you know its power. And if you hold wisdom born from experience or quiet insight, don’t keep it to yourself. Offer it freely, gently – because someone might be waiting for exactly what you have to give.

To give profound advice is to give clarity, courage, and sometimes healing. It’s one of the most generous and lasting gifts we can offer one another.

For instance, growing up a black male in the U.S. I was forced to grow through struggles; because there are zero laws to protect the lie of young black boys being Americas biggest threat group -as if there’s ever been record of any black groups holding white Americans against their will of progress or making laws to systematically hurt and keep them underneath the skyline of the great illusion of the American Dream. Unfortunately, for many black boys like myself, the gift for themselves is/has been just surviving America and the labels our abusers give us.

A Legacy We Must Share Through history, if you don’t look like the founding thieves that stole the country, you are denied access to the kinds of knowledge and insight that builds wealth, emotional wellness, and generational growth. But even in the face of that, wisdom has always found a way to rise -from elders, from shared struggle, from culture, and from deep inner strength.

From the knowledge commonly known within the power ranks, there’s only a small group of individuals that are allowed a sliver of the pie, and that’s through entertaining the the leaders of sunscreen or tanning lotion community; or selling your soul/integrity by degrading yourself and your community.

Profound advice is more than just good words – it’s survival. It’s strategy. It’s healing. And today, it’s power.

When one person gains access to life-changing information -whether about finances, education, mental health, or spiritual balance -they hold a key that can unlock doors not just for themselves, but for others. That’s why sharing what we know is more than helpful it’s revolutionary. In part, this has a lot to do with the past 30 years or so of those in power destroying the fabric that held many minority groups together, the family structure. Starting with breaking apart of the family and making it feel illegal to have a father present (because a strong black man is considered toxic). Next, making it almost illegal to raise your own children, with society encouraging parents to be their kids’ best friends for popularity and misleading youth by handing them trophies for just showing up. Leading up to today, forcing the confusion of sexual identity of young males (especially black) and teaching them its okay to change your sexual orientation at 5 years old; regardless of many not being able to tie their own shoes yet.

If you’ve received wisdom, pass it on. If you’ve learned from experience, speak up. You never know who’s listening or what generational cycle your words might help break. Profound advice, shared with intention, is how we build. It’s how we heal. It’s how we rise together.

Here’s some gems I’ve heard through my life:

Trees don’t hang around with the grass even though they all started in the same place. = Don’t have allegiance because of time aquatinted if you know a person is not a good role model.

The magic you’re looking for is the work you’re avoiding.

If you’re a friend of everybody you’re an enemy to yourself.

If you always do what you always did, you’ll always get what you always got.

I didn’t fail, I fell, and as long as I get up, I win.

Your haters are out there holding their breath, waiting for you to fail. Make sure they suffocate.

It’s a beautiful thing when the gift of advice bears fruit.
