As much as I love Tyrese...his music, his
movies and his books, I was finally given the opportunity to read and now take
the time out to write a review for his book entitled, "How to Get Out of
Your Own Way." I should have written this blog months ago after I read the
book but in the process of procrastinating on what I wanted to write about, I
myself was going through some humbling experiences of my own that encouraged me
to have regards and relate to some of the scenarios given in the book. For
those of you that have not read the book, it definitely is a good read.
“How to Get Out Of Your Own Way,” was a
remarkable story told by multi-talented super star, multi-platinum recording
artist Tyrese Gibson. The story behind Gibson was informative and can be
inspirational to an audience of all ages. Gibson delivers a positive message to
the youth that encourages youngsters to make responsible choices by not
allowing negative influence of peers that can persuade one to make bad choices
for them individually. “I want you to concentrate on your own goals before
thinking about someone else’s. Dropping out is not an option, so you have to
stay focused on school, and if your friends are leading you down the wrong path, surround yourself with a
better circle of friends.”
Gibson reminisces about priceless childhood
memories that motivated him to become the successful man that he has grown into
today. Gibson had a phenomenal way of capturing his childhood and expressing
the hardships he experienced with his family. He spoke of good times as well
but he knew as a young boy that he would eventually be in pursuit to have a
more extravagant life. Gibson grew up in the streets of Watts, Ca. Indeed,
Gibson endured hardships as a child exposing him to domestic violence, drugs
& alcohol, and even worst being subjected to a vicious environment that he
as a male was forced to survive in. Gibson then had to make a choice, “to eat
or get eaten.”
Additionally the book offers valuable life
lessons that every reader can relate to, such as making positive changes in our
lives for the betterment of our future. Gibson covers becoming a father, the
different levels of being in a solid relationship with your mate, friends,
peers, and business associates. I definitely recommend picking up the book from
the library or a local bookstore, to enjoy the more personal side of Tyrese
Gibson. He is a entrepreneur, singer, book writer, actor, model and completed many milestones. He has achieved nothing but success in his career since his first start of stardom in a Coca Cola
commercial. make sure you sit back and enjoy this book by allowing yourself to be inspired, being more optimistic about
new opportunities and making changes that are meaningful in your life by
“Getting out of your own way.”
