Loving yourself fully is the best way to love another. Sincere love with another starts and ends with you. You are the factor that is in all of your love relationship.

Having a closer relationship with yourself is critical to living the life you want.  Sometimes however we find ourselves on a loop of deficiency, never feeling good enough to love how we want, never feeling blessed enough to have our finances the way we want, and never feeling bold enough to create the life we want.  Some of us have gotten used to wanting but never having, hoping but never experiencing, and living but never enjoying life.   Sometimes we have to take time to brainstorm ourselves to uncover our wants but then merge our wants into our being.

Learning to just be you can be hard working because the automatic systems in our mind have us beholden to belief systems and thinking patterns that don't get us the life we really want.  You have to be dedicated to being you and let's face it sometimes we treat ourselves like the enemy.  In order to stop that we have to change the abstractions that are controlling our inner systems about who we are and can be.  To read the full blog, go to freeyourthinkingmind.com

IT'S UP TO US TO CHANGE OUR THINKING ABOUT OURSELVES 

Keep trying to be who you want to be.  Keep trying to achieve what you want to achieve.  Let only death be the barrier that stops you in this lifetime.  Don't give up.

All is fair in life and business they say, but got damn some things really hurt.  We have to learn how to expand pass the hurt. 

Everybody is talking about Black Lives Matter but are all organizations claiming that mantra the same. Today I have a conversation with a Seval Haley who is the Vice President of Black Lives Matter Help Us, a nonprofit organization based in California. The last two words following the slogan is a distinction that I now understand makes a difference. Not all Black Lives Matter organizations are made the same. Listen as we discuss Black Lives Matter Help Us, politics, the racial and regional inequalities in the educational and economic system and a host of other topics all related to making this critical juncture of time we are in right now one that is a movement of sincere change in the course of human behavior and not just a momentary scream of pain.
To learn more about this organization visit their website at  https://blacklivesmatterhelpus.org/  or call at (951) 354-5066 to team up and learn how to better arm us with the information and knowledge what will truly help us. Another website to check out if you have school age children is greatschools.org.

Is America really a melting pot? If yes, then why are will still tackling with racism and police brutality against blacks in 2020? Could it be that racism is only the symptom of a greater cause?  It's undeniable that white privilege exist in America, not because it's the will of some benevolent super daddy as I was taught growing up, but because humans built a system of laws on top of laws that intentionally and barbarically elevated and biased the minds of one group of people as white and superior over another group of people, as niggers and inferior.  And this distorted mentality on both sides have been passed down through the generations as righteous, destiny, and impenetrable. It's time that we manifest a new destiny!
