On Mother's Day!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

LoL, can't say it enough times.

I thought today would be a great day to write and express some thoughts that have resonated with me, since my trip to Egypt.

Most of you don't know the reason why I went to Egypt to begin with. I went to Mystery School to study Egyptian Mysticism for 2 weeks. It was an amazing experience! Overwhelmingly Emotional! There aren't enough descriptive words to truly capture the feeling of being there. The information that was gathered is Life changing. All that being said, I wanted to share something that I learned and am embracing.

To the Women of the World YOU ARE THE  MOST POWERFUL BEINGS ON THE PLANET!
And I pledge to Embrace and Express this Idea for the rest of my days on this Earth.

Some might be thinking what exactly does this mean??

My time in Egypt explained to me the proper perspective to have to ensure Harmony in the World. I understand now that the way to Christ Consciousness is through the HEART. And I'm not speaking in terms of Religion, lets put that aside for now and just consider the Idea. Women instinctively think from their Heart, Men instinctively think with our Brains. Here's what's interesting, We know where our Brain is and we know where our Heart is but did you know your Mind is in your Heart. It's where your Emotion is! Emotion is Energy in Motion. When you visit the temples in Egypt and witness the images on the temple walls you constantly see the Woman standing behind their man. In western society it is explained that the woman's place is behind the man, submissive to her man.

I beg to differ the Woman is strategically placed behind the man so she can cover him!. Yes he sits on the throne with his woman behind him but think about the image. He can see what he can see and she can see what he can see AND what she can see! That's key she is there to cover and support and have his back! Not to be beneath him, not to be submissive to him. Now this idea may be familiar to some but lets take it a step further. What if Men consulted with Woman when it came to government decisions? What if men learned to think from their Hearts? How would the world be different?

I'm not looking to diminish the role of the man, we do what we do, for security,financially,protection of our families. What I'm looking to do is uplift the Woman and put her back in her proper place which is in a position of Authority to cover and protect us men as we go out and do the things that nature calls us to do.

I'm not sure if I'm making total sense but it just feels right to me to express this. I'm making a concerted effort to think from my Heart and place Women back in their proper place. I love you all, Unconditionally!!

Once again - HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

FORGIVENESS

Good Morning!!

Fresh off my trip to Egypt and still adjusting to the time zone here at home, I've been wide awake since about 230am, LoL..

So I decided to write..

Anyways was watching a video about a wide range of topics and Forgiveness came up. I thought to myself what does it truly mean to Forgive?? I was having lunch with a friend yesterday and she mentioned something her father did that one could definitely justify destroyed her family as she knew it. Subsequently her relationship with her pops has dramatically changed ever since. She spoke about how many years went by without them speaking all together and how recently she began to soften her heart toward her dad in hopes of re-birthing the relationship. But that it was such a struggle to release and Forgive what he did.. I commended her on her Honesty about how she felt and even making an attempt at working it out with her father. I stressed the importance of a girls first love being her daddy an idea she totally embraced. That being said after we finished our meal and went our separate ways I began to ponder in depth Forgiveness..

First off We ALL Need to know that Forgiveness is POWER!! - Forgiveness is the Single best gift one could give to oneself!. Forgiveness literally means to "Give Forth"

I use to think Forgiveness was something I did for the person or situation that "Wronged me" To free them of the guilt,shame or grief they may be feeling from the act.

Through my studies and life experiences I realized the act of Forgiving is really for me. Having a better understanding of universal law of Consequence or "What goes around comes around" I realized whatever act that I am perceiving had to originally come from me. This energy is being returned to me and the situation or person is acting as a mirror revealing to me a lesson that I can learn from because as "Like attracts like" if I am able to find the root/seed inside of me and truly remove it or "Give it Forth" then the energy will no longer come back to me because it is no longer in me.

So then the question becomes "What is it in me, that attracted this energy, this act or this person to me??"

If I am accusing someone of lying,cheating,stealing, lacking integrity, being abusive etc.. By Law it has to be in me first, there is some energy in me that gives that off or I wouldn't perceive it as such. This is where Honesty with oneself would come in handy. Without judging or justifying the feeling, I would ask myself if I have committed any of these things in my dealings with people or situations and the answer would be a Resounding YES! I have lied to keep from accepting responsibility, to keep from hurting someones feelings, to make myself(ego) seem larger than I may have been at the time. I have cheated in games to win, to have more than someone else, I have stolen when I thought something wasn't fair or when I thought I didn't have enough. I have been verbally abusive to people and situations, I have abused my body, my mind and spirit at times.. So if I'm finding in myself the things that I'm claiming someone did to me then its time to take a step back and Understand why I did them and think for some time that it very well may be the same reason that the person or situation did it to me!

Once again its not to JUSTIFY the BEHAVIOR its to Understand to Release the that seed of Energy from ME that attracted it in the first place.

Now One might think of a child being taken advantaged of and wonder how did they attract that to themselves. I asked the same question and what came back continuously is a child isn't fully capable until a certain age and awareness to understand energy attraction, cause and effect etc.. but the adults around them, the environment these kids our in is definitely responsible for the Energy being created. An abusive household that a child may be in will directly have an effect on the development of that child.

And some of us who may have been affected by this still can gain from using Forgiveness once again to free ourselves of any binding Energy that may be getting in the way of Healthier lifestyles that we may desire but are unaware that these past transgressions may be causing resistance.

To bring it back full circle. Forgiveness to me is a muscle that can be developed. I've learned to look at the results of whats in front of me as lessons that can be appreciated as opposed to condemned for not being what I ultimately desire. Take the info process it and it "Give it Forth or Forgive it" so that by the law of Correspondence or "Cause and Effect" it will not be allowed to return.. And if it does don't beat yourself up keep digging and releasing and ultimately it will cease to return;-)

A Belief is Only A Thought I keep Thinking!

Interesting concept. Most of us are RULED by OUR BELIEFS! If a belief is only a thought I keep thinking, then If I change my thoughts, I change my beliefs and then my results change!


You put the rat in the maze. Down the first tunnel he goes, and there’s no food. The rat’s hungry, so he goes to the second tunnel; no cheese. Third tunnel; no cheese. In the fourth tunnel, he finally finds the cheese.  Give the rat some time to get hungry and motivated again, and then put it back at the beginning of the maze with food again at the end of the fourth tunnel. The pattern repeats: First tunnel, second tunnel, third tunnel, no cheese. Finally the rat gets to the fourth tunnel and finds the cheese. Pretty soon, you get a smart rat. When you put him at the beginning of the maze, he heads straight to the fourth tunnel and finds the cheese right away.

Now you test your theory by moving the cheese to exit number 2 and see how long it takes for the rat to unlearn the old pattern and learn a new one. You put the rat at the beginning of the maze. Right down the fourth tunnel go goes. No exit, no food. He retraces his steps, confused.

Back and forth the rat goes, and you record how many times he goes back and forth. Soon the rat gets really hungry and gives up going down the fourth tunnel. He goes down the first tunnel, then the second tunnel, and finds the cheese. If you keep putting the cheese at the second tunnel, the rat will begin consistently heading down the second tunnel.

The man finishes the psychology book, puts it back on the shelf, and thinks, “There’s a big difference between rats and human beings. From what I’ve read so far, if rats get hungry, they will eventually go down a different tunnel. But human beings will go down the same tunnel over and over again, thinking that the cheese will eventually be there. If it was there once, certainly it will be there again.”

Could it be true that rats are smarter than human beings?

Some people will take a chair and sit at the end of the fourth tunnel, waiting. They think, “I’ll just hang out – I’m sure the cheese will be here soon.” They think things like: “It was here in the family I grew up in, so it’s got to be here.” Or: “It was here in my last relationship, so I’m sure it will be here.” Or: “It makes sense that it should be here, so I’ll just wait.”

All rats know is they are hungry and they haven’t yet found the cheese. On the other hand, human beings could eat their beliefs for decades.

If you’ve been sitting around on the same beliefs, thinking that eventually life will change.  Ask yourself: What would the rat do?

Where in our lives have we held on to a Belief expecting a different result?? It's nothing to be ashamed about. At any point you can DECIDE to DO Something Different.

Thoughts become Things. Beliefs are nothing more than Thought I continue to Think. CHANGE MY THOUGHTS CHANGE MY LIFE!

Some thoughts I woke up with..

Good Morning!

I Love this time of morning because it is so quiet and my thoughts are really clear at this time. Before the day revs up and we become susceptible to getting knock out of alignment.

I just wanted to share a couple things on some topics that I have had to deal with in my life and continue to develop a muscle to better handle it as it comes in the future.

FEAR - by definition means something that causes dread, apprehension, concern or anxiety.
A popular one is False Evidence Appearing Real..
I have come to the conclusion that FEAR is just a lack of information. Because once you have the information what's to fear??. Take fire for example, when you don't understand fire it can be scary, it can burn and do deadly harm. But once you have an understanding and knowledge of fire and learn to respect its properties, you can use fire to your benefit. Fire can keep you warm, cook food, be used as a weapon for protection. Empower yourself with Information. But then you might ask, "The Information/Truth/Knowledge may be PAINFUL" Then I would say learn to LOVE the TRUTH. Learn to Love the process of "Not Knowing to Knowing" and all the benefits that come with it. Consider this.. True Possibility Lies in the UNKNOWN! its not in what you DO Know, it is in What you DON'T KNOW!.

HELP - Why is this such a powerful word?. What does it mean to ask for Help?. By definition HELP means to make it easier for someone to do something by offering aid/assistance.
I remember when I finally gave myself permission to ask for HELP. To stop feeling like I had to know it all on my own. My GROWTH grew exponentially! Especially for men, asking for HELP is such a Taboo in this society. When the truth is NO ONE makes it on their own!
There are no new problems.Stop feeling like your problems are unique to you. Civilization has been here for thousands of years. People have been having problems since the beginning of time. Someone has had your problem before and someone has written a book, created a program, an audio CD, a video about a potential solution. Seek it Out, Seek the Truth Out. Don't let FEAR of asking for HELP stop your GROWTH anymore!

BODY LANGUAGE - just wanting to make sure that what we're desiring is being communicated through our bodies. A lot of times what I intended internally wasn't being communicated externally through my Body Language. It's necessary for effective communication for those 2 things to be in sync to accomplish what we Want, Need and Desire. Remember 60-70% of all communication is non-verbal so it is something to look at and take note of.

Have a Great Day All!!

Daily Motivation..

A Great way to start the day of with a Deliberate Intention.. Intend for your day to turn out the way you want it. Regain CONTROL over your Thoughts!! You have that Power!

I make it a practice to watch something, read something, write something EVERY MORNING to set the Intention for my day.. Put yourself FIRST! If that means waking up 15-20 minutes earlier or cutting short that social outing to give yourself time before you go to bed to do something for yourself. It is not something you should do, it is something you "MUST" do, it needs to be that important to you.. I promise it will be worth it and the results if you stick with it will gain momentum!!

Because I Said I Would..

BECAUSE I SAID I WOULD...

A very simple Phrase that could be a Catalyst for MAJOR CHANGE in someones Life. I remember the first time it was brought to my attention. I was 15 or 16 years old and my oldest niece Briann was 2 or 3 years old and I was heading out to play basketball at the park and she was crying because she didn't want her Uncle Bo(me) lol, to leave. So I said to her "Do you want me to bring you back something?" She nodded yes and I said "Okay, I will bring you back some Ice cream!. She smiled and I kissed her goodbye and left. I had to say something to get her to stop crying and I did have intention of following through on what I said. Now those that know me, know when I'm playing ball, I'm not focused on anything else, so the day went by and I returned home and smooth forgot to get the ice cream. Now I could have turned around and went to the store and grabbed some but I was thinking she is 3 she won't remember what happened this morning. So I strolled in and went into the kitchen and my dad was in there and he said, "Did you bring back Ice cream?" and I ashamedly said No.. He looked at me with some disappointment and said "Don't ever make a Promise you can't keep". Then he said he had brought some Ice cream home with him because he figured I wouldn't remember.. I felt really bad in the moment and it taught me a very valuable lesson. To always keep my word!.. Really, when you think about it, that's all we have. It's what separates us from the next person, our ability to keep our Word. It's how we know GOD by being able to trust in his Word. Our ability to keep our Word is what determines our Reliability,Dependability,Trustworthiness and so on..

This phrase is on me write now because I recently read an article about it. It's such a simple phrase and yet so many of us struggle to follow through on. BECAUSE I SAID I WOULD, words that I will consciously live by. I'm sure all of us can recall a time when someone didn't keep their word or we didn't keep ours. Some might say it happens deal with it. But why is that acceptable??. What if we made a point to follow through BECAUSE WE SAID WE WOULD.. Think about a World where that happens!! Brings a smile to my face!

Check out the article its Dope and Hopefully it Inspires you as well..

I've met the Woman of My Dreams!!

Happy New Year!!

WoW 2014 is upon us!! The beginning of the year is always a special time for many.. New resolutions, New goals, New beginnings and hopefully New endings!! Out with the old and in With NEW!!..

Hopefully for some like myself instead of waiting for the New year to work on a New You, every single day is an opportunity to create a better present for yourself. A thought that I carry with me is "My Future will Look like How I FEEL Today!".. Continually reaching for a better feeling thought at all times is key. It's a muscle that's worth developing;-) trust me!.. No one/thing or situation  should have that much power over us to make us feel less than what we are, which is the image and likeness of GOD!. Declare in 2014 to take your power back from all things that do not represent LOVE! Take your power back from jealousy,envy,anger, frustration, stressful relationships,jobs and all the sorts.. You can do it! It is a muscle that definitely needs to be worked. Start small and build momentum, try to remain positive through your lunch break,lol.. if it doesn't happen don't beat yourself up. Acknowledge the fall and get back up and resume being positive!. It gets easier the more you focus on it.

Anyways as usual I digress,lol..

I'm in LOVE!! I've been waiting a Long time to feel this way and I want to feel this way for the rest of my time on this Earth! She is Everything I could ever imagine, Attractive, Smart, Dependable, Loyal, Trustworthy.. The adjectives can go on for days!! She's been in my Life for as long as I can remember and in the last year I finally saw her the way she deserves to be seen. I'm just Grateful that she didn't give up on me while I was out trying to find in other women, what she already possessed..

All the sappy Love songs mean that much more,lol.. If I would have known that true Love felt like this DAM! I would have got with her many years ago.. Unfortunately a lot of men/women haven't been taught to know that we deserve to Love and Be Loved. We don't know our Value as human beings outside of what society designates us as. We look for our value Externally instead of Internally.. I think that's when my transformation began. Once I started to ask the question "What's my Value and who determines it?" and the answer I came to was that "I" was responsible for determining my Value.. What type of person then Do I want to be? and this is when it gets fun because the possibilities are endless..  Do I want to be respectful or disrespectful? do I want to be Loyal or disloyal? the questions can last a lifetime! What's cool about is whatever I say it is can be Had! It starts inside of me. Whatever I want the World to be I must be first! If I am who I say I want to be nothing but that can come into my reality.. It's like eating at a buffet and getting to choose what you like and don't like to eat and being able to go back infinite times until your satisfied.

Anyways back to my girl! Like the Temptations say.. "Talking bout my Girrrlll, My Girl!" lol..
Its so amazing to get to wake up to her every morning and go to bed with her every night. She cheers my ups and softens my downs, never judging, only encouraging and reinforcing that she's going to be there for me no matter what!.. I hope you all get to see her as I do someday.. That relationship that we all deserve to have if we just allow it to be.. It's not difficult, it starts with Loving yourself first and once you can Love yourself unconditionally.. Your mate will appear.. Almost like Magic..

My woman's name is LIFE.. and I am soooo in Love with you that I wanted the world to know, That I honor, cherish and respect you more than words can ever describe, so just look into my heart and no words will be necessary. LIFE thank you for being there even when I didn't want you to. Through my darkest times when my pops passed and my brother went away, you told me the Sun would come up tomorrow but I ignored you. But my pledge to you is that there will never come a day, that I don't Thank You for all you shown me, as I learn daily to Love the negative as much as the positive as it provides clarity in the things that we can do together. I Love you so much LIFE that I'm willing to share you with the World because this much goodness Deserves to be Felt by EVERYONE.. Lets see what we can accomplish in 2014! and Beyond! Love you babe!


Yours Forever
