Famous Dushawn Banks Quotes

“Sometimes our new mindset doesn't align with our old lives. We've spent our whole lives conquering the wrong mountain and now we are so afraid to leave the top. Though our new mindset would no longer allow us to be happy on this mountain, we are still hesitant. We were taught our whole life that life is one mountain. One career path, one relationship, one purpose, and one box. We are so scared to be at the foot of the right mountain. So used to being Kings and Queens that we are scared to get back to the foundation of the pyramid; a place where if you tell your new peers about your past while going through your new mountain's challenges, they won't believe. Most of the time we aren't happy because we're trading social acceptance for peace. How ignorant are we to think that life is just one mountain? God may bless us with 70 years to be productive, but we want to lay down in 5. Don't be scared to be at the foot of another mountain; because when you stop growing you die.”

“Sometimes our pride and success are going in two different directions. Not our morals and success. Not our respect and success. Not our faith and success, but our ego and success. We can’t be who we want to be and still become successful. Not who we need to be. We can’t be who we are tempted to be, and still become successful. Sometimes failure is success because it saved us from roads that we shouldn’t have been on in the first place.”

“Yes! Everyone is right. Since everything exists in perspective, our view depends on our version of reality. The negative and positive exist in the same space. I think that we are created in opportunity. We give each other opportunities. Our opportunity may not be limitless, but we never ran out. People give us the opportunity to love. Oxygen gives us the opportunity to breathe. Water gives us the opportunity to swim. Our home was an opportunity provided by trees. We are surrounded by opportunity; but if the world wanted to have opportunity in one tree then it would be limited. We are limited by looking for opportunity in 1. As long as the 1% of anything holds the opportunity, then opportunity will be limited. I learned to find opportunity within myself and attract opportunity from others.”

“Money and power magnifies our temptations. It allows us to do the things that we already wanted to do mentally. It allows us to be who we already wanted to be. In position, people will show you who they really are. Sometimes a financial burden is saving you from yourself. We seem to only have emotion for the things that have affected us. Some leaders had to be put through a struggle in order to genuinely lead. Some are placed in the mud before they find their purpose. A real leader, leads in the mud too. They can’t help but lead wherever they are.”

“Different levels of growth are inevitable. Love and attachment are also inevitable. Therefore, conflict and heartbreak are inevitable as well. We all know that the world’s creations are destined for different heights so some will reach their limit of growth before others. We express our love, attachment, and heartbreak in different ways so on your journey you may reach conflict. At this point always understand that it is just a part of the process of evolution. We ask for one, but we can’t have it without the other.”
