Pusha T, one of of my favorite artists, released a new single this week–“Diet Coke”. The song leads in with a sample from Fat Joe where he emphatically suggests that “yesterday’s price is not today’s price”.

F**k The Haters With Dr. David Rhoiney | The Pursuit
I was scrolling through Twitter last week and saw my friend Dr. David Rhoiney share his thoughts about why we shouldn’t let the opinions of others impact our happiness and Pursuit–especially when it’s hate or doubt.
