“Never look back, unless you’re planning to go that way.” Henry David Thoreau

American Poet

It's a good place to visit, to take a glimpse now and again, to see how far we've come. But staying there isn't recommended at all. Leave the past there where it belongs, and focus on the great future you have ahead of you.

The past is there to remind us of lessons we may have forgotten, not to be relived over and over and over again.

The most mentally depressing and draining year,2020 has done a number on us all. Almost everyone has been negatively impacted by this year; and it takes its toll. From there nearly being a World War at the start of the year to the impending recession, this year has done more than we could've ever imagined.

In this episode I share what has helped me ,so far, deal with the mental stress caused by 2020. I hope it helps you as well.

Cancer is a word that strikes fear in the hearts of millions worldwide. No matter who you are ,where you are from or what status you hold, cancer is something no of us wants to hear come out of our doctor's mouth.

As October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I have decided to do at least 3 episodes dedicated to it and bring more awareness to it.

In this first episode I share my personal experience with it and some not so interesting facts about this dreaded disease.

Water or soft drink ,stairs or elevator ,salad or fries. These are some of the choices we make daily, and they will either bring regret or discipline.

Short term discomfort + long term enjoyment = Discipline

Short term enjoyment + long term discomfort = Regret

One question I detest is "What do you do?" Unless it's work related,why ask that? Answer:we value on a person's job. Period.

Job descriptions does not equate self-descriptions,in MOST cases. Firefighters,EMTs,Doctors etc are exceptions to this as someone has to be genuinely interested in saving lives daily.

What you do for money and who you are as a person are completely different things,they are not mutually exclusive. An accountant by day isn't one by night, and during these  COVID-19 times when many,many people are losing their jobs,they've discovered that where they worked became part of who they are.

Buju Banton said it best "who feels it knows" We tend to look at people and forget how they reached there. Their sacrifices,blood,sweat,tears,long nights,early mornings... Take Usain Bolt for example: he ran a total of 325 seconds in his Olympic career, 2008-2016,just about 5 and a half minutes. Yet we don't think about his months upon months of training,early workouts,ice baths etc. Behind the scenes is where the impossible becomes possible.

Are you making yours count?

This isn't about his athletic achievements;those deserve an episode by themselves. This about LeBron James the man,the cultural icon for the black community. This is about him being more relevant to black people and black culture than the Jordan brand. He is a living legend,cultural ambassador...put some respect on his name.

The weight of regret is enormous. I share a very personal story about my life that still has a deep impact on my with regards to regret;and it's about my dad. I regret the many,many chances I had to make things right with him until it was too late.

DON'T let you ego,friends,or family stop you from doing what's in your heart. Once it's not illegal or harmful,do it.
