Please Be More Selfish
Go back with me, if you will, to a moment in your life when you were luxuriating in the beauty, virtue, and sheer joy of being selfish…
Unfortunately, if you’re like most people, the mere thought of doing something for pleasurable for yourself leaves you racked with guilt, questioning your ego, and scrutinizing your self-esteem.
Unleash your Genius on the World
A few years back, I wrote a book titled Mad Genius, because I was fascinated by the transformational alchemy process that occurs when people transcend the ordinary and even the extraordinary and enter the realm of their unique genius. This gift is unique for each of us and displays in many different ways.
Stop Providing Weapons to Your Enemy
We’ve talked a lot about the tug-of-war between your conscious mind versus your subconscious programming, for outcomes you want to do, have, and become. Unfortunately, you can sometimes unknowingly give the negative programming in your subconscious mind an extra advantage. One it certainly doesn’t need.
Free Your Mind!
One of the most liberating things you can ever do is free your mind from limiting beliefs about money, material comforts, and wealthy people. Most people have a continuous tug-of-war going on between their conscious and subconscious minds. Primally their have a subconscious desire to become wealthy and successful, while at the same time, they have subconscious programming disdaining the rich. Something has to give for you to create a harmonious life.
Escaping Mediocrity
When is the last time you attempted something really great? Something so bold, daring, and imaginative – that if you failing at it you would face a potentially strong degree of risk?
Becoming a Co-Creator in Your Life
There certainly are a lot of outside factors that can derail your journey toward success. There are things outside your control that can slow you down, send you on a long detour, or even stop you in your tracks. But did you really think anything worth doing was going to be easy?
Protect Your Soul and Humanity
You can’t watch the video of the life ebbing out of George Karl without tearing a hole in your heart. Likewise, when you see police officers push down the 75-year-old man and walk by him as his head was bleeding onto the pavement. It’s also gut-wrenching to see honorable police or National Guard officers trying to maintain peace and see them getting bricks thrown at their heads.
What Makes You Happy?
You would probably be happy to find a four-leaf clover, see the coronavirus disappear, sports and cultural events to resume, and Spike Lee to put out a new film. But can external things like these or others, “make’ you happy? Or is happiness a choice?
Don’t Give Up on Hope
If ever there was a time for hope, it is now. You may be feeling overwhelmed right now, anxious or disconcerted. Perfectly understandable. There’s a lot going on right now, and media and your social feeds are probably in hyperdrive to report it all to you. But they can’t extinguish hope.
The Unspeakable Evil
As you likely know, here in the United States, we’ve had several weeks of protests since George Floyd was killed by a police officer. Obviously, there are all the surface issues like systemic bias, racism, and police brutality. But there’s an underlying issue that frightens me more than any other…
The dehumanization of human beings.
