Broken Conditioned Heart of Humanity

I have been following a story that has broken my heart in many different ways.

The story is about Pakistan; the flood waters in Pakistan.

The flood waters in Pakistan have been triggered by monsoon rains and it has destroyed crops, villages in their entirety, and has also caused rapid spread of disease among the flood victims.

The part that perplexes me is that 2 days after this occurred international aid said they could not reach the flood victims and they were trying their best to help. As I am watching this being reported on CNN by a reporter that is standing in Pakistan in the midst of the flood waters. My question is how did this English speaking reporter get here and international aid can not figure out how to make a dent in this horrifying situation.

The other part that is so heart breaking is that the world does not care. The international community is not rushing to give aid as they did in Haiti, there are no telethons on TV to support the efforts, and no radio hosts are speaking about this grave devastation.

What are the reasons for this lack of response? People are suffering in Pakistan as they still are in Haiti, lives have been lost and changed forever as Haiti, and there is a definite apparent need for help as Haiti.

Why is there no cry out from humanity for these people that are suffering?

Maybe it is because the death toll in Pakistan is estimated to be ONLY at 1100. But I say one life lost is one too many. Maybe its because they are so far away that it is easy to turn our backs because now they are someone else's problem. But I say when you don't cry out for your brother or sister, who will cry for you when you need help. Maybe its because they are a different religion. But I say that religion is man made but humanity is not.

I feel like the spirit of humanity is crying right now because we have failed it again.

I guess only lights, camera, and action determines what cause we will focus our time and energy.

So to that I say, cheers to you humanity for you have just been bamboozled into thinking your life and this world is only as great as the most recent popular snap shot.

Go beyond the borders of your mind and your self-imposed limitations.

God Bless You and Keep You Pakistan!!!!!!!

Who Are You

As I get older my intuitive spidey senses become more heightened. As I meet more people, I noticed that God has given me a gift to be able to pirce through the character that people want me to meet and look at the real person. I must admit sometimes I do ignore it though.

This is a blessing and a curse because as soon as God shows me the things that people so desperatly try to hide I can not ignore it. The saying "ignorance is bliss", is so true.

Being given this gift also lets me be more real and true with my stuff. I am keenly aware of the fact that everyone has their stuff. We are all human shaped by hurt, pain, insecurities, a past, and experiences. So we can not help but to have stuff.

But when does having stuff become dangerous?

It becomes dangerous when you do not want to face it. When you allow your "stuff" to remain in your life to the point that it actually has control over you and your decisions.

For example, you have a good friendship or relationship. But you ruin it because you are not used to actually being loved or cared for in a healthy manner. You are used to relationships with turmoil and drama at least some of the time so this healthy relationship does not feel good to you.

That is an example of letting "stuff" control you. Take an inventory of your stuff and figure out how you can maintain control. Whatever insecurities you may have figure how you can take power over that insecurity. Whatever fears you may have, figure out where the fear came from and how you can control it.

Even though I speak for a living, I had the biggest fear of speaking in public. My hands and legs would shake, and my voice would quiver. The only way for me to overcome it and follow my dream was to control it. I still become nervous when I speak but I have control over it and it does not control me. That fear did not stop me from following my dreams.

Take inventory now, before your stuff controls you later.

The Moment

Did you see that? Did you feel it? It was moment that just passed you by and you missed it thinking about tomorrow! FOCUS MAN!!!!!


A moment is a precious thing. It is probably the most valuable commodity in the world but it is always taken for granted.

My new goal, since I have turned 30, is to be ever presently involved in each moment. At least to really try to be.

Each moment prepares you for the next moment. They are all connected in some way. Just think.

Just think about the moment you met that special person in your life. Think if you had not been fully involved and paying attention you would have missed that connection.

Just think about the moment you came up with a brilliant idea that changed your life and moved your life in many different directions.

Just think about the moment you decided that it was ok to be you and to be the best you. You had to be present within that moment and present within yourself.

This weekend be present in each moment even if it is a moment that makes you feel uncomfortable for there is always a lesson to be learned in the moments of our lives.

Did you see that? Did you feel it? It was a moment that just passed you by and you missed it thinking about tomorrow! FOCUS MAN!!!

Keep Pushing

Everyone has a vision in life that they would like to see come to reality. A vision that wakes them up in the morning and puts them to bed at night. A vision that excites them and confirms that they are alive and living within "this thing called Life" (to quote Prince).

I always say the most dangerous person in the world is not a person living in poverty or a person with no education but its a person that has no vision.

When you do not have a vision, it means you have stopped believing in your passion, and when you have stopped believing in your passion you have stopped feeling the connection to your soul.

Your passion and your vision does not come from your mind it comes from your soul.

If your vision came from your mind then there lies the reasons you have not tried to complete the designed vision for your life. Your mind sees all the obstacles and turmoil that you must get over.

But your soul, your soul gives you the courage to know that the walls could be falling down around you but you still have the courage and tenacity to complete your vision.

Guard your vision people do not let the problems of this world take it away. Keep moving forward this world needs you because we were all put here for a specific purpose.

Remain inspired.

Date Yourself

There are many different reasons why people enter into relationships - whether they are personal, professional, acquaintances, or friendships. The reasons are varied but the reason that frightens me the most concerning people is when they look for others to complete who they are; they look for others to define the very essence of where they stand in this world.

Many of us do this very thing. We are involved in a romantic relationship and we allow our being to be lost in this person to the point that we forget how to stand on our own two feet. We depend on this other person for support to the point that we forget that we have strength enough to support ourselves. We depend on this other person for happiness, to the point that we forget that we experienced happiness before them. Last but not least, we depend on them to complete who we are but not realizing they are not one of the main ingredients that make up our personal recipe called Life. That this relationship in fact is just something to add spice and flavor.

It does not mean this relationship is not important it means that a relationship whether it is familial, friendship, or professional should not be your focus to the point that you lose yourself in it.

I have heard friends of mine say after a break up now what do I do. My response to them is always the same, you keep doing you. Whatever you did during the relationship you continue to do now. Usually they will then say well I did everything with them. This means they forgot who they were.

While in a relationship whether romantic, friendship, or professional have a hobby outside of that relationship. If you work all the time what if suddenly that job is taken away, you will be devastated. But if you have worked hard while maintaining who you are, if it is taken away at least you are still in tact.

I go out to eat by myself at least once a month and I love it. I always have fun talking to the bartender and other people in the restaurant. I have a good time with me, myself, and I. This is just one of things I do to make sure I do not lose myself within any relationship in my life.

I have lost friendships, romantic relationships, and professional relationships for whatever reason and what I have realized is that life goes on and so will you.

Start today to celebrate who you are and do not involve anyone just allow you to love you. If a relationship disappears at least you will still be in tact.

The Oil Spill in Your Life

I was looking at pictures of the oil spill and they are very much disheartening. This man made process and man made machinery have caused Gods natural process and God made land and wild life to operate under a different mode.

Instead of the wild life flowing within the natural order that was given to them, they now must operate outside of their basic divine given operation. They can not move smoothly from water to land because now they have to contend with a foreign element that has invaded their natural elements.

Some of us have allowed a foreign element to enter our lives. We have been operating within an oil spil in our personal lives. Something that has caused us to become stuck within the same routine and the same operation. But the operation is not a divine given operation within our lives but a man made one that has altered our course.

Maybe your oil spil is depression, jealousy, pain, hurt, drugs, a person, or a job whatever it is that has made you operate out of the natural divine element that God has given to you.

You know you are because it has caused you to become stuck in thought and stuck in moving forward in life.

We do not have a government to save us but we have our tenacity and spirit to not to settle for anything less then what we know we deserve.

Clean that oil spill out of your life and move forward.

Life Is Not A Game

Life does not give you a free card to pass to the next rest stop, life does not give you
a get out of jail free card and it certainly does not have a do over or a roll again. But yet most
of us treat life as if it has all of these amenities.

We treat life as if it is doing us favor by allowing us to be a part of its purpose, a part of its history. But if you only knew the few breaths we give to life and the many breaths we take away.

When you breathe pain, hate, judgement, ridicule, jealousy, violence etc., you are stealing from life, for life was not created to generate a path of ignorance. For this means you have just stolen breath and violated life itself.

When you violate something it stops working in the full capacity that it was meant to do. It begins to work at half of its power and half of its energy. It loses the momentum for which it was charged to operate.
hink

Think about your life and think about if its operating at full maximum capacity. If the answer is no then then ask yourself are you stealing precious breaths from life.

Own Your Destiny 1 in 30

Your mind works in a very interesting manner.

If you do this 1 time every 30 minutes your life will change!!!


Your actions follow the thoughts which your mind generates. You never commit to an action such as sitting down and then your mind all of a sudden thinks, Oh I am sitting down.


If you train your mind to think certain thoughts that action will come to pass. Some of you may be saying that this is similar to the movie, "The Secret", but it is slightly different.


I am not speaking of just having random thoughts in your mind and those thoughts coming to light. I am speaking of actually conditioning your mind in a very real manner to produce the goals you would like to fulfill within your life.



It does not stop at training your mind. Its about training your mind to become confident in fulfilling its actions.



For example, you can have the thought in your mind that you are a good singer. But that thought does not make you confident, its the carry thru of that thought that allows one to receive that confidence, true purposeful confidence. It involves getting singing lessons, participating in talent shows, and receiving feedback.

Energy + Thoughts + Action = Movement

Whatever thoughts you have daily leads to your actions which determine your movements.

A definition of movement is a progressive development of ideas toward a particular conclusion.

Example, if you are married but you have continuous thoughts about having relations with another person. Your thoughts will lead to certain actions such as going to a club all the time or spending time with your single friends more than your mate. Those thoughts plus your actions will develop work toward a certain movement/conclusion. The movement will eventually be you having that affair.

I implore you. Once every 30 minutes do something (something positive) that has to with whatever movement you would like to create within your life. It can be something as simple as just writing down that conclusion. The conclusion can be financial, relational, or career.

If you would like to own a home. Even if you are sitting at work write on a piece of paper, I will buy a home in a year. The thing that will happen is that your spirit will become more empowered which will then move your energy to form your thoughts to develop actions to then create movements.


This thinking is about empowering you to create a life you deserve. But do not wait for it to be handed to you.

So 1 time every 30 minutes have a thought/ action concerning the movement you would like to create.

Then watch your life change!!!

Ignorance Begots Ignorance

I read a quote over the weekend that said "Time is a blessing". No one does anything to get it, no one can do anything to buy it, and it is not promised to any person.

Then I started thinking about how I have been using my time. My thought was, concerning myself, how could I have been so ignorant. I have wasted my time on ignorant people, ignorant moments, ignorant situations, and ignorant emotions. I am using the term ignorant as the colloquialism that means stupid.

Last week I said how mistakes are experiences. But sometimes we waste time trying to make a relationship, whether friendship or otherwise; a situation, a job, a business opportunity, or a moment something that it is not or will ever become.

Some of us are repeat offenders. We go into something with our eyes wide shut and we have this tiny inkling of exactly what it is but we ignore it. We become "ignorant" to it.

We become a slave to what we want something to be and not what it actually is.

Some of the greatest CEOs and generals in history became great because they were able to look at reality dead on with its flaws and all.

How do you do such a thing:

Be courageous, know that you are equipped to handle your life.

Value you! You would not let anyone drive your Mercedes, why let anything or anyone crowd your life.


Take inventory! Look at what people, emotions, and situations should not be in your life.

In order to redecorate a room sometimes you have to move the old furniture out. Its the same for your life.

Live on purpose and be courageous.

Mistakes - everyone makes them

What is that seeping into your veins?

You know if you insert this into your blood stream it will ruin your life?

I am speaking of mistakes.

Do not wallow in the mistakes of last week, just write them down, and recognize that it was not a mistake but an opportunity to learn...to learn more about yourself and the operation that surrounds you. Whether that operation is filled with family, friends, co-workers, ideas, school, etc...

The key is to not to allow these mistakes to be your stop sign, your road block, or your cause for confusion. You can not turn a mistake into an emotion. AN emotion that seeps into your blood stream and causes you to question who you are, who you are meant to become, and your present task at hand.

Mistakes are meant to help form your experiences. I compare mistakes to a video game. In some video games a player has three lives. Once you make three mistakes, you...as the player dies. But do you stop playing...No!!! You recognize it and now you play more proficiently because now you understand what detail to observe and also what not to do.

Mistakes help to tailor and stream line your movements.

This week keep moving and pushing.

Mistakes...the best leaders make them. It does not mean you give up. A newspaper editor fired Walt Disney because he said "he lacked imagination and had no original ideas."

Go out and make this week yours!!!

In the words of a leader that has made many mistakes, "Can't Stop, Won't Stop".

50 Cents new book "50th Law" is the TRUTH

50 Cents new book "50th Law" is the TRUTH

Now I do not buy his music and I do not run to the computer to download his videos...basically on the musical side of things I am not a fan. I respect him but not a musical fan.

One thing I can not put past 50 Cent is that he is a genius. He is inventive and knows how to create a situation not for a moment but so that it continuously leads to another endeavor or opportunity. Many of us, as human beings, do things for a moment until we can create another moment. Its as if we always start from the beginning. But 50 Cent has learned the art of what I like to call "chain opportunities".

Chain Opportunities is basically looking at an opportunity and figuring out what to do to make that opportunity lead to another opportunity or endeavor. 50 Cent teaches in the "50th Law" by giving concrete examples from his experiences how to do this and how to make it an art form.

Also the "50th Law" had a great co-author and that is Robert Greene. Robert Greene is the author of the best selling book "48 Laws of Power". For those that have not read it, it is a very powerful book and that if used the wrong way can actually be used to support evil intentions.

Robert Greene and 50 Cent have together written a great book! The book uses 50 Cent's experiences (even from drug dealing days) and Robert Greens flips it and teaches how to use the specific tool in every day life.

I recommend the "50th Law" for those that need to expand their mind to think beyond the moment and move into the next experience or opportunity.

New Year...What does it all MEAN?

I am glad that our previous forefathers of humanity thought well enough to make a New year. The date was formed most studies show for political reasons in the Late Republic period. But the reasons why it was formed is not important right now but the feeling that it represents.

People cling to the new year for many reasons:

to forget about the problems of the past year, regeneration of mind, body, and spirit, forge new relationships and mend old ones, contemplate life in a way that will allow a person to create a new energy, and also to form new goals and put a battery pack on the goals that need a new jump start from last year.

There is a definite excitement. Its almost like a re-birth as if we get a second chance to learn to walk, talk, and breathe again.

Inhale...Exhale. Do not hold your breath. Allow your breathing to just flow.

One foot in front of the other. Try not to fall and try not to wobble. Be steady.

But what if you lose your breath again this year and what if your walking and you happen to fall again this year.

What if you have different problems but you happen to stumble as you did last year. What if you lose your breath and get the wind knocked out of you by some unfortunate mishap of life.

Life is still life whether its the new year or midyear.

This blog sounds depressing but its not.

What I am trying to say is that instead of trying to figure how not to fall and how to maintain your breath. We should learn how to make the recovery from the fall a little shorter each year, so soon we do not fall but just slightly wobble.

Instead of having to catch our breath we should just try to breathe more slowly and each day we take a breath realize that it is a connection to our next moment of peace, enlightenment, and point of destiny. But you must keep breathing.


I am not a huge fan of football but I love to watch football diaries that have an inside view at preparation, practices, and games. One of the things that football players do is that they practice how to fall so they do not get completely injured. We should take a page from this, for we waste the most time during the process of the fall and the recovery.

This year lets breathe a little better and recover more quickly from a fall; for at the end of the day your destiny awaits.
