"Your talent can take you places that your character cannot sustain you." - Pastor AR Bernard, Brooklyn

Many people find themselves frustrated in a space of wishing they started off with more of something that someone else has, money skills, relationships. BUT the truth is having those things can be the FAST TRACK to laziness... Ask My Son.

Take this Major Key; and learn why those without can end up with more using a secret super power.

Who needs flowers when they can't see them or smell them?

I have been to so many funerals, swapping heart felt stories about the guest of honor. Everyone has a great word and some beautiful statement about how their relationship was so special and they wish they were still here.

However something has occurred to me, why is it that we allow all these people in our lives that have impacted us on so many levels to leave us with out hearing all these amazing words of fanfare.

Here is my challenge: Find someone that you don't speak to regularly and shower them with public and private love as if you would never see them again; then repeat with someone new everyday for the rest of the year.

The End

The Battle Rages on!
Since the beginning of organized war between nations there were those recognized groups of men willing to risk their lives or freedom with no allegiance or loyalty to the cause; JUST FOR THE MONEY. The Warrior operates on the opposite spectrum fighting without reservation or by force because of his commitment to his beliefs.
But is this only happening to us in times of war? Or are we choosing two operate like these fighters in different areas of our lives?

The greatest part of learning how to produce better results, is understanding what makes us achieve the results we are getting now. Sometimes Why we fight, is more important than what we may be fight for

WHO REALLY RESPECTS THE BUNT?

Ok so this can be used as a strategic move just to get on base or survive to the last pitch in a series; but truthfully who wants to build a career based on doing the BUNT. Just like your life, there are moves that you can choose which are not filled with much risk, offer the most simple and minimum reward, and protect our ego from striking out completely. 

But, the real truth is there is no magic, no flare, no dreams being created when you live like this. Where in your life are you choosing to simply Bunt, when you could be swinging for the fences?

This episode is seriously personal to me, because I was a victim of my own past success for a long time. Do you find yourself climbing up to a virtual podium around friends and family to remind them of stories or events where you 'USED TO BE' the hero? Maybe the business you built, the car you had, the touch down you made, or all the super hot chicks you dated?

Then you are probably victim to one of the most vicious and sinister thieves of success for any man... I know because it was strangling the life out out of my present possibilities and my future was almost killed by it.

Why is it that some men are respected, revered, and remembered and others are gone from the world and soon to be forgotten with in a generation or two.

     I submit to you today that a man's bigness is measured in the size of the problems he faces, multiplied by willingness to sacrifice and take big risks to accomplish his targets.

Let us dive deep into this conversation around the Bigness of men; I hope that you will see yourself in truth and take action to choose the highest level of Bigness you are not even capable achieving in this moment.

You either growing or you dying... So here is the Book of Life

When you speak to someone and ask them "how are ya doing?" and they respond with something like "..oh you know the same old thing!" .. Then you know for sure they are DYING.
You either growing or you dying. So let me share with you my simple secret weapon for non-stop continuous growth... THE JOURNAL. A simple notebook that i use everyday to take the thoughts out of my head and the feelings out of my heart and bring them into reality and history. This is more powerful than you might realize now.

YOU ARE GONNA HAVE TO FIGHT!
Not every conflict is a physical brawl, but every difference that needs to be expressed is a collision. The modern Black Man must operate powerfully in the space of collision in order to express himself and have a point of view. Too many men have become sheep to social norms and just going along with the herd, that they have become afraid or unwilling to collide with others.
The fight between ideas and beliefs will crystalize your point of view and make it stronger or in the case of Tchalla (The legendary Black panther Character of Marvel) may face an adversary that could cause you to GROW - and change your beliefs... Don't miss the message here... WHERE IS YOUR KILLMONGER?

Dating my wife weekly has given us both many gifts, but I got something dope out of a meditation around it. 

She does things very different from me and see's the world totally different than me, but that what makes this thing work. THATS WHERE HER SECRET VALUE LIES.

Check out this podcast to find out the difference between being different in a relationship and having a TOXIC relationship altogether. 

To do or not to do - That is the question we are asking ourselves all the the time; where we are measuring our internal meter of capacity. 

Can we handle, afford, or have the energy to do this new thing. We must decide what type of life we will live as KINGS; the or life of limitation or the "&" Life of Expansion and possibility.
