Integrity is Everything.

There is no such thing as reality. Only our perception of it.

Before you Judge, Critique or Draw conclusions...
Remember you only know what you THINK you know.

Reality, or the interpretation of it, is built from many years of consistent conditioning.
Inherited Beliefs, limiting Labels, forced Fears and incomplete experiences that have been implanted into our consciousness throughout our entire lives… from every influence and experience we've ever been exposed to.

Making determinations based on what we do know, whilst deleting what we don't know only leads to an impoverished version of ourselves and others.

Our view of the outer world is a reflection of our inner world…
If we seek to change the world for the better, it starts at source.

Everything begins and ends with you.

You can’t see the picture when you are IN the Frame.

How many times do we search for sense or answers whilst being in the midst of a situation?

Why do we react so soon when we can't see so much of what is being shown?

The key is not to seek to be part of a storm that will dominate you. Learn to Stand outside of the storm so you can objectively see it for what it is in its entirely.

When you can change the way you look at things. The things you look at change 🙏🏽

We lose our Way when we lose our Why.



.

Consistency holds the key to Strength, Skill and Success. But is almost always disguised as mundane doing.

This Hits Hard.

Fear like beauty is a part of this world. It's existence is an intrinsic part of our journey through life. It cannot be eliminated, It can be challenged and redirected but never extinguished.

It's said "Our greatest Fear is Facing Fear itself". And the truth of that is, we are designed to feel fear But not designed to be ruled by it. When we do, we open the doors for panic and worry to pave the path. Live this way long enough it eventually paralyses Purpose and is powerful enough to kill any dream, goal or growth.

The point is not to become ruled by it and stay with what we've always done and known, more go in the direction others are unwilling to go, The way of the truth by Facing the unknown.

I’ve died a thousand psychological deaths, ⁣

fitter, healthier and purer than before. ⁣
From the Depths of destruction, ⁣
I found a Faith like no other. ⁣
In the Midst of darkness, ⁣
I Became my Own light.

This quote reminds me of opportunity, both lost and found. Opportunity or inspiration comes on its own schedule, not yours.

Have you ever had a great idea, but life just got the better of you and you became too busy to follow it through?

Whether it be an idea to make your next move, create your own business or change your life. If you aren’t ready, it will be gone in a heartbeat.

However, if you are busy doing what you do and following through, when Inspiration stops by, you’re ready to take it and begin to make use of it.

Inspiration and opportunity have a shelf life. If you aren’t ready to act on it, the opportunities will only stick around for so long, then they will slip through your fingers. They will vanish from your mind, leaving only regret of what you knew once a great idea.

Getting good at anything takes repetition. Lots of repetition. Practice and practice and practice. And then, in the midst of practice, inspiration strikes, and you end up with a gem.

That’s how you get inspiration to find you working. You keep working at your craft until it finds you. You work and work and work. learn from your last attempt and practice again.

Practice will not make you perfect, perfection is an illusion. But practice will make what you learn Permanent.

Read up on the life Pablo Picasso.
A master of his craft. You’ll see what he went through to find Inspiration.

⁣
According to Psychology an average person has around 60,000 to 80,000 thoughts per day. Of those, 80% are negative and 95% are repetitive thoughts.⁣
⁣
Just think about those stats for a moment... and maybe think about the thoughts you have running on a continuous loop. ⁣
⁣
Our brains are wired to repeatedly create the same thoughts over and over again. But what happens to us when we process negative thoughts more than we process positive thoughts? ⁣
⁣
Well, we end up living in a painful state feeling; stressed out, worried, frustrated, angry, depressed, irritable, overwhelmed, resentful and fearful. These are the very emotions that deplete us of our energy leaving us weak and suppressed with long term mental and physical effects. In this state nothing is achievable, exciting, worthwhile and valuable. ⁣
⁣
How do we change it? ⁣
⁣
The way to make a change is to start experiencing change every single day. Making it a daily part of your life. If you think the same thoughts and do the same thing over and over again you’ll never face any form of resistance or challenge... ⁣
and you’ll never Change or Grow. ⁣
⁣
Being in a state of balance is key to mental health. When you feel; inspired, motivated, love, joy, gratitude, playfulness, ease, creativity, drive, care, growth, curiosity and appreciation...You activate your internal resources to perceive things differently.

Our Perceptions are our Projections.
⁣
You owe it to yourself to improve the quality of your thoughts and ultimately your life. 🙏

Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

One man’s Calling, His Vision, Leadership, Wisdom and Capacity to be one of the most Inspiring Leaders in History. He delivered a message and Inspired a movement of people to stand up and Reclaim their Power. To ultimately do what’s Morally right towards one another.

If he were alive today I know what he’d say about the current flock of self serving “Leaders” we continue electing to run the world.

You see, He became the biggest threat to Modern society because he couldn’t be bought. He had no price tag, he had no interest in Power or control. He was interested in People standing up for themselves and be given their rights to be Human again. To be counted. To be Valued. To matter.

His struggles serve as reminder to us, that we have the power to Transcend above any adversity we Face. 54 years later, his words are as relevant today as they were back then. And will continued to echo in our Minds and resound in our Hearts.

The Magnificence of the man and his Message will be etched into the Fabric of time
Forever. 🙏🏽

Here are some of them:

1. “NEVER, NEVER BE AFRAID TO DO WHAT’S RIGHT, ESPECIALLY IF THE WELL-BEING OF A PERSON OR ANIMAL IS AT STAKE. SOCIETY’S PUNISHMENTS ARE SMALL COMPARED TO THE WOUNDS WE INFLICT ON OUR SOUL WHEN WE LOOK THE OTHER WAY.”

2. “THE TIME IS ALWAYS RIGHT TO DO THE RIGHT THING.”

3. “CHANGE DOES NOT ROLL IN ON THE WHEELS OF INEVITABILITY, BUT COMES THROUGH CONTINUOUS STRUGGLE.”

4. “DARKNESS CANNOT DRIVE OUT DARKNESS; ONLY LIGHT CAN DO THAT. HATE CANNOT DRIVE OUT HATE; ONLY LOVE CAN DO THAT.”

5. “IF YOU CAN’T FLY THEN RUN, IF YOU CAN’T RUN THEN WALK, IF YOU CAN’T WALK THEN CRAWL, BUT WHATEVER YOU DO YOU HAVE TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD.”

6. “EVERYBODY CAN BE GREAT…BECAUSE ANYBODY CAN SERVE. YOU DON’T HAVE TO HAVE A COLLEGE DEGREE TO SERVE. YOU DON’T HAVE TO MAKE YOUR SUBJECT AND VERB AGREE TO SERVE. YOU ONLY NEED A HEART FULL OF GRACE. A SOUL GENERATED BY LOVE.”

7. “INJUSTICE ANYWHERE IS A THREAT TO JUSTICE EVERYWHERE.”

8. “A GENUINE LEADER IS NOT A SEARCHER FOR CONSENSUS BUT A MOLDER OF CONSENSUS.”

9. “I WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED, I WILL NOT BE HARASSED. I WILL NOT BE SILENT, AND I WILL BE HEARD.”

10. “CREATIVE POWER CAN PULL DOWN MOUNTAINS OF EVIL AND LEVEL HILLTOPS OF INJUSTICE.”

11. “FREEDOM IS NEVER VOLUNTARILY GRANTED BY THE OPPRESSOR; IT MUST BE DEMANDED BY THE OPPRESSED,”

12. “LEADERSHIP NEVER ASCENDS FROM THE PEW TO THE PULPIT, BUT INVARIABLY DESCENDS FROM THE PULPIT TO THE PEW.”

13. “THE ULTIMATE MEASURE OF A MAN IS NOT WHERE HE STANDS IN MOMENTS OF COMFORT, BUT WHERE HE STANDS AT TIMES OF CHALLENGE AND CONTROVERSY.”

14. “I BELIEVE THAT UNARMED TRUTH AND UNCONDITIONAL LOVE WILL HAVE THE FINAL WORD IN REALITY. THAT IS WHY RIGHT, TEMPORARILY DEFEATED, IS STRONGER THAN EVIL TRIUMPHANT.”

15. “WE MUST ACCEPT FINITE DISAPPOINTMENT BUT NEVER LOSE INFINITE HOPE.”

16. “FAITH IS TAKING THE FIRST STEP EVEN WHEN YOU CAN’T SEE THE WHOLE STAIRCASE.”

17. “GREATNESS IS DETERMINED BY SERVICE.”

18. “OUR LIVES BEGIN TO END THE DAY WE BECOME SILENT ABOUT THINGS THAT MATTER.”

19. “ONE HAS A MORAL RESPONSIBILITY TO DISOBEY UNJUST LAWS.”

20. “THE ULTIMATE TRAGEDY IS NOT THE OPPRESSION AND CRUELTY BY THE BAD PEOPLE BUT THE SILENCE OVER THAT BY THE GOOD PEOPLE.”

Do just one thing that'll get you closer to the things you Dream about doing.

Would you do the same??

"What would my Mom think of that?"

In a race, (see picture), athlete Abel Mutai representing Kenya, was just a few feet from the finish line but he was confused with the signage & stopped thinking he had completed the race. The Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez was right behind him & realizing what was happening, started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't know Spanish & didn't understand. Then the Spaniard pushed him to victory.

A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"

Ivan replied, "My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life".

The journalist insisted "But why did you let the Kenyan win?"

Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win".

The journalist insisted again, "But you could have won!"

Ivan looked at him & replied,"But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal? What would my Mom think of that?"

Values are transmitted from generation to generation.

What values are we teaching our children?

Let us teach our kids what it really means to WIN.
