Positive Self-Talk Works

Love Yourz by J. Cole

"Great message...love your life."

I like the way No such thing as a life that's better than yours is repeated like a mantra. That's the way you have to tell it to yourself, too. Because sometimes your life may not feel so awesome, but it's still the only one you have, and it's beautiful in it's way.

This song isn't just about one aspect about your life; it's about the whole damn thing. It's beauty in the struggle, ugliness in the success, and you have to love all of it. Take whatever lemons life throws at you and suck it up.

J. Cole talks about how most people fantasize about a life with no stress, expecting wealth to bring some kind of fulfillment. Then he talks about the opposite, Think being broke was better / 'cause what's money without happiness? Or hard times without the people you love? The point is, of course, that the grass is always greener on the other side. But J. Cole says it better.

Okay, so I love pretty much every line in this track, but there was this one thing:

Long as the people in that motherf****r love you dearly.

I mean this s**t sincerely.

This been some legendary s**t, man. Until the next time, goddammit. Peace and love.

Like...variety is the spice of life. His vocabulary is different from mine, and as long as he loves his, that's cool, man. Express yourself. But it was kind of funny.

Anyway, I loved this rec. Thanks, Deja!
