Truth--it is a trigger word these says in the polarized globalized liberal landscape. Most people live in such uncertainty that they will only claim that "truth is relative" and "there is no absolutely truth", which, ironically, is a self negating statement proving there is absolutely truth. 

But there are Truths that I AM very certain of. Admittedly, there are many gray areas of life--but there is TRUTH. And Truth that we can be certain of. 

How can I say that with such confidence? Because Truth has been revealed to us, AND Truth can be tested. 

In this episode I break down the FRUIT and EVIDENCE of truth, how you can TEST truth, and how you too can become not only certain about Truth but can live a life of total freedom--the real freedom you have been searching for.

I'll give you a hint--TRUTH sets you free. Free from depression, anxiety, self hatred, envy, criticism, fear, lust, hate, anger, and doubt. Find truth and you'll find true freedom.

 Until next time… Be a purpose seeker, truth lover, and own your future.

Mustafa Abbas is an award-winning Emirati writer and director. One of his many highlights was being the guest of honor at a ceremony held by Dubai Customs where he was awarded for his work as an Emirati filmmaker. Recently, Mustafa has completed his latest project The Long Game.

In the second part of this interview we discussing philosophy--a long time passion of Mustafa, and specifically how humility and "knowing nothing" is the very thing that enables us to continue to learn and grow. 

What I enjoyed greatly about this episode is being able to hear Mustafa articulate his deep and cohesive thoughts on the deeper things in life which are a driving and shaping force in his art, businesses, and life.

We discuss film, the art of story telling, and importance of structure. But we didn't stop there, we went beyond the normal "writer-director-film-maker-conversation" and discussing the deep philosophies which are the underpinning of his success. Namely the grace of God, Fate, destiny, power of choice, intention, and listening for God's sign, listening and knowing who you are, and listening to those around you.

Probably NO ONE would trade living in 2020 for living back in the 1950 without internet, cell phones, AC, supermarkets, advancement in modern medicine (myself included) – but are we wrong?

Back in the 1950

• super glue,
• power steering,
• Video tape recorder,
• first music synth
• transistor radio.
• Teflon pan
• computer modem 
• Barbie

2020 life span is 78.93 vs 68.14 in 1950

There has FOR sure been some HUGE steps in quality of life.

YET There are some STARK differences that might make us think twice about saying “life is better now”

Michael Snyder writes in the Economic Collapse Blog about the differences between America 1950 vs. America 2020.

The last startling difference is the suicide rates.

In this episode we explore what went so wrong over the past 70 years that has led to the disintegration of the moral fabric of America society and what you and I can to do preserve the integrity of our family, society, and nations.

Who is your degree for, and what is your degree for?

The answer to such a question might appear obvious, but as we will see, it is far from straight forward.

To examine the value of an online degree we first begin by understand the difference between learning and a degree, opening the door to explore not just "online degrees" but degrees in general and the power of "online learning."
