The appeal and attraction to the “hood” and all it consist of, baffles me. I don’t understand why so many want IN when all we wanted was OUT. The ability to share instantly or broadcast from wherever and whenever are contributors to this appeal. I was raised in South Central LA, firsthand experience is priceless, the street smarts that you gain cannot be taught in a class. You have to had been there, gone through the trials and tribulations. There is no other way. People don’t realize that, you can’t just want to be a native or a part of all the hood is made of, there is no ticket or wrist bad or stamp. Your either from there because that’s where you grew up and was raised or your NOT. Tune in. Positive Vibes. Positive Energy. ➕🔋➕🔋➕🔋

I was like many of us today, a social media addict. Yes I consider the Facebooks and Instagrams to be addictive. Why wouldn’t I? They are structured to deploy the same appeal as a slot machine, pull the lever and hope to win! Cal Newport was the beginning of why I really even had the thought, watching one of his interviews about “Digital Minimalism”. The key takeaway for me was when he asked us, the audience, to think of what VALUE each application held or added to our lives. Got me thinking, then I watched an interview with Tristan Harris where he’s basically exposing these applications for their designs and flaws. I asked myself the question “What Value Do These Applications Add To My Life?” Listen to the episode to find out my answer. Positive Vibes. Positive Energy. ➕🔋➕🔋

I’ve learned over the years how much someone can affect you, how you perform, how you feel, and how you think. What realized is that when you reach a point where you’ve pieces together a great version of you, and your proud of this version of you, those things people used to be able to do, don’t work. You enter a space where your just being you! The hard worker, the go getter, the business handler, the person who hits beast mode as soon as it’s showtime. Not because you want to show off or gain recognition and attention, no. But because that’s just who you are! Let people assume or make up what ever story they would like to tell themselves or others. But the truth is YOUR JUST BEING YOU! Positive Vibes. Positive Energy! ➕🔋➕🔋

As people it’s natural for us to observe and be curious of one another. We share things about ourselves, people read things about us, and thus an identity or a rough draft of who are is formed! Boom! We are not obligated to control the narrative of that “rough draft”, if we do it, it is only by choice. See people will think what they want regardless, it’s what we do. There are some people who want to know about you for reasons other then pure curiosity. Be mindful of those people, watch for the behaviors, and most importantly they only know what we reveal or share intentionally or unintentionally. Positive Vibes. Positive Energy. ➕🔋➕🔋

What’s perfect? What’s perfection? WHO defines these such things? Questions! My answer is: YOU! You control and determine what is perfect and what is perfection! You! Nobody else but YOU! Allow input when valid or sincere, however guard your self definitions and beliefs diligently. The world will never exist without input and opinions, it’s part of the systems mechanics. But, stay fast to your own definitions such as what is PERFECT and PERFECTION! Positive Vibes. Positive Energy. ➕🔋➕🔋

Yesterday is done, it’s over with so let’s move on, right? Why hold a grudge? Who is affected more by this grudge? Is it you or the person the grudge is against? If yesterday wasn’t a great day then why bring it into TODAY! Now, if yesterday was awesome, appreciate it and learn from it, then make the most of the day you have before you. Make it count, money wasted is money wasted. Time wasted, well that is a more of loss then anything monetary or of value. Time has a hidden value that we overlook constantly, if only we can process its true value, how greater our understandings will be. Positive Vibes. Positive Energy. ➕🔋➕🔋

Traditionally we are taught not to be selfish and to do onto others as we want them to do onto us. We are taught it is always better to GIVE then to RECEIVE. We will give all to others whether it’s for our spouse or our kids or the jobs of our choosing. Give all of us away, until there is nothing left for SELF. Being selfish is a must, if we want to be the best and healthiest versions of ourselves. We have to give to ourself also, not only to others. But make time for self. Set aside energy for self. Do something for self. BE SELFISH! Positive Vibes. Positive Energy. ➕🔋➕🔋

This episode reflects on how we sometimes miss the small things in life. Whether it’s daily, weekly, and even monthly. People do things because they want too, not because it’s demanded of them, and when they do these things you play a part in whether or not they continue to do so. If you something out the kindness of your heart or because it’s just who you are, don’t let people who don’t appreciate it change that about you. It’s a dope quality to have, trust me. Don’t allow your life to move a such a speed that you don’t see the small things that are happening around you, the things that are being done for you or because of you. If someone packs you lunch each time you head out to work, never make it an expectation or forget to say thank you. Be grateful. Positive Vibes. Positive Energy. ➕🔋➕

Choices? Do we really understand the power of choice? How there’s always a choice no matter what? The results of our choices and the lessons we learn from the choices we make in our life. EVERYTHING we do is a choice! Period. I’ll talk about some of my choices and where they placed me, what I learned, and how they helped me evolve. Positive Vibes. Positive Energy. ➕🔋➕🔋
