Motivational Mondays with Trisha: Stairs

Paul Wall is one of my favorite rappers. His unique voice and flow is what drew me to him. Naturally, I’m going to listen to content about him. During his 85 South Show interview, I learned about the different hustles he had during his come up. For example, Paul Wall sold Grillz, a type of dental jewelry also known as fronts. Like he can mold, fit, and make Grillz for his celebrity customers.

You’re probably wondering, what does this have to do with stairs? Paul Wall isn’t afraid of hard work. He’s willing to take the steps necessary to get what he wants out of life. A desire to get Grillz for the low turned into lucrative business. He was able to do this because he was willing to promote his music, as well as, other industries requesting his skills. Back in the day it was harder to become a household name. During this portion of the interview he brought up stairs and elevators.

“If you take the stairs to the top, even if you get knocked down, you can climb back up. If you take the elevator to the top and the elevator is out of order, your stuck”

That’s where I got Today’s theme. If you’ve been here for a while, you know that I’m capable of making connections that seem random in nature. At first, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to find quotes for y’all. Turns out there is a sub category for motivational messages on staircases. I hope you enjoy this week’s selection of quotes for Motivational Mondays with Trisha.
