I'll be leaving, see you next year!!!

Image
I remember when I decided to take myself off the grid with social media accounts, at first I thought I was making a mistake and that I would lose valuable relationships but what I gain was worth more than any relationship in the world. I discover who I was and from then I realize that the things we devote most of our attention to on a daily basis are the things that may be stopping us from growing. This blog will now be dormant for the remaining of 2016, I have a lot of weak areas I need to start working on and I'm determined to get better by next year, I have to, I have no choice but to. The first half of this year hasn't been what I wanted it to be; missed opportunities, emotional rollercoaster, uncertainties that kept me on edge, I've been fighting the battle of my life and with my 25 birthday just around the corner, it's time to elevate more. I now have over 4000 views and I thank you guys whoever you may be, I see people visiting from over 8 countries in this w

Why Haven't I Released The Mind Crater Yet

Image
A few months ago I mention the Mind Crater and I thought that I should put it out in the public because of how great I believed the idea was and still is. Now I'm not rushing through the process, I feel like I've been rushing a lot of things lately in my life trying to get goals within a certain timeframe and honestly this was causing a lot of energy to be used that I could have been saving for  people. There's a lot of people that need me in their lives right now because of the knowledge I've acquired over the years of my life and I want to be more available to them. I have great ideas but they can wait and I know one day they will be revealed to the world even if I was to die today because I always leave trails. I feel like I am one of the greatest minds in the world today and I don't have to prove that just hang out with me for a day or talk to me for two hours about stuff that matters to you and you would see it. I am aware of my God gift and I try to shar

Missing In Action - Life Unexpected

Image
I haven't been blogging lately and that's because I've been going through a difficult transition during last month. Realizing some flaws and strengths I had to start being more self-aware of my actions and how they affect others. Stepping into the 2 quarter of the year, I know this would be tough and it lived up to that hype but I made it through, not exactly how I envisioned it but I got through. I recently started watching newly turned celebrities and athletes rise to the top and all of them talks about this part of their journey being the best. The part which involves hustling, missing meals, sleepless nights, poor hygiene, let's called it the grind. Some of these successful people even went as far as saying they missed it. It makes you wonder about life. It's truly the smaller things that matter and not the limelight and money. I mean those things are cool to have and affords you a whole lot of opportunities but what's opportunities if they have no intri

Hon. JAGS McCartney - History Lesson #TheTimeisNow

Image
This is a brief profile of the late Hon. JAGS McCartney that was written some years ago.The late Honourable James Alexander George Smith (JAGS) McCartney was bo rn on June 30, 1945 to parents Harvey and Sarah (Sally) McCartney on the island of Grand Turk. Named after a Jamaican Lawyer, JAG Smith, at birth, he was not expected to live beyond three weeks due to a heart murmur, a condition that would in the future prevent him from being enlisted in the US Army during the Vietnam War. Despite this condition, JAGS lived a practically healthy and active childhood life. The Honourable McCartney was primarily educated in Grand Turk but later attended a Quaker School in Portland, Jamaica where he excelled in sports, in particular swimming and track and field. After graduating from School in Jamaica, JAGS returned home at the age of 17 where he found employment and immediately took interests in formulating sporting and social programmes for the youth to provide them some escape from the apa

Lived a Quarter of a Century

Image
Where did the years go? Lately I've been looking back on things I've wasted time on. I know what my subconscious is saying " Time is never wasted because experiences are being gained" but let's be real wise one, I wasted sometime within my 25 years on this Earth. I'm almost 25 and having a mid life crisis *Yikes*.  I couldn't figure it out and it was always on my mind!     I unsure of where life will take me and I've accepted the fact that I am not in control and that nothing is happens to be by coincidence. All we are given as human beings is our abilities to make choices and the choices we make carries over into the next life. That means every dollar that not our dollars is accounted for by God, every meal we put into our bodies, everything is a test. Can we make the right choice ? I only ask God to give me these words as my last words before I live this world as I've accepted the reality of death being a spiritual ascension experience

The Mind Of A Critical Thinker - Acceptance

Image
I think I'll write more in-depth on this topic with my Let's Inc Post for next week but acceptance is key to living a life not filled with misery. We all have to accept some level of discomfort in our lives and most often it's the most difficult thing to do. God gives us these test and honestly as we pass one, another one comes which is harder which causes us to use every resource possible to solve it. It's draining and emotionally unbearable at times but I'm reminded that my strength cometh from the Lord. You have to accept what you can't change, doing otherwise is just a waste of time.  Be Bless, Be Brave, One Love, Leo

Project Finally Completed

Image
In about 1-2 week from now, I will post my design and theory that I believe will impact the education system greatly. I've been working on it since early  March so a lot of time and thinking has gone into this project. I'm a little nervous because  I am expecting harsh criticism for my work because it's so unique. I once said that "if you take away my ability to think then you destroy the very purpose of my existence, I am a thinker, that's my strength, that's my gift, that's my element, but me in any other arena I will not thrive". I believe I am one of the greatest thinkers in the world today, whether you want to say Black Thinker, Thinker from the Caribbean, Turks and Caicos, Young Thinker etc, I'm amongst the greats in all areas and me putting my second created project into the world solidifies my claim. First being Open Thought of course. Thank God continuously, without him, I won't have the strength to do the things I do, God is i

I Feel Like Superman

Image
Superman : [ about Earth's people ] Why am I so different from them? Jor-El : Earth's sun is younger and brighter than Krypton's was. Your cells have drunk in its radiation, strengthening your muscles, your skin, your senses. Earth's gravity is weaker, yet its atmosphere is more nourishing. You've grown stronger here than I ever could have imagined. The only way to know how strong, is to keep testing your limits. Keep testing my limits ? Emphasis on "Testing" or being tested at least, why are all these tests necessary ? I watch Man of Steel and Forest Gump a lot because both of them are so relatable. So gifted for the world but so distant from the world, if that even makes sense. It's not easy being so gifted, most people would want it but it comes with so much to give, so much of everything to give. Like Superman because you can hear everyone's cries, it's hard not to accept the responsibilty of being their hero.  Human beings are a

Writing To Heal

Image
When you're just different in a world that has developed standards based on it's own ambitions; life weighs down on you from time to time because the world no matter how picture clear you paint it will never understand the abnormality. From my book, notepad phone app, sticky notes, and blog, I write to heal the wounds from this world. My book has ideas I believe can improve the lives of many people in this world but at what cost? I feel like the more we as human beings try to help the problems of this world, they more we contribute to them and it's puzzling to meditate on sometimes. There are thousands of non-profits, charities, giveaways, etc.,  doing great things on a daily basis to improve this world, but can this world truly be helped when that faith is not of Man to decide? Only God possesses the power to change the world forever. It's hard for me to sit down and think that no matter what I do to help this world, no matter what sacrifices I make personally, tho

"Into Pieces" - A Poem by Me :-D

"Into Pieces" by Leo For everything there's a purpose, For a purpose relies on everything, Twisted faiths sealed by uncontrollable forces, Forces aligned since the beginning of time, Time heals and time destroys, Destined for eternity our time is forever, Death is only the beginning, Life filled with identical multiple choice answers, Even with a cheat sheet we're destined to fail, Standing tall in the face of adversity, Fighting a battle that's already been won, Meeting souls I've already known, Traveling to places I've already been, Is there anything new under this sun ? In the words of King Solomon "nothing is new!", But only the wise in spirit can relate, Wisdom, a knowledge of not knowing so it's instinctive more than knowledge, Wisdom cannot be attained through college, College cannot attain wisdom through repetition of meaningless information, Maybe I'm being too critical or maybe the time is, Abortion clinics, heartless

My Time Will Come

Image
Lately being feeling really anxious about things and it's been affecting my energy level. Somedays it peaks and my thoughts flow like a river while other days I'm brain dead and low energy. I've consulted all three of my mentors, lol yes I have three spiritual mentors that I talk to because I not a perfect man. Moving on, the anxiety of achieving my goals has been weighing in on me. Literally everything I've worked for, for the past 5 years are within reach, who wouldn't feel the anxiety or the excitement of being so close to their dreams.  I had to ground my spirit this week and remind it that it's day to day that I must go about it. It won't come when I want it to but it will happen at the right time that I will need it to happen. The time in which it happens is in God's hand because only he knows what's best for me. God's in control is what I have to keep reminding myself of. I know whenever it happens I'll be fully equipped and read

Seed Growth

Image
Everything started with me and so I must be willing to handle the load that continues to be placed on me, I can't complain, I can't get mad, I can't be the disappointment because I don't have to be in the positions I put myself in. I need to in order to grow, I challenge my thought process everyday and myself to overcome these obstacle that's ahead and when things get tough I report back to my mentors and loved ones who has been here since day one. God continues to be my light guide, my lamp that never runs out of oil, my torch, my flame, my spark through this very dark and unpleasant world, and I give him all the praises to be in the positions I am in now. I've gotten through every obstacle strongly and effortless relying on God, I've had people approach me and tell me they don't know how I always pull the things off I've accomplished and it's only relying on God through every process and listening to my voice in my head that tells me when s

The Story of God with Morgan Freeman - Episode One

Image
I'm happy Morgan Freeman is attempting to reveal some truth and it warms my heart to see he's being so open minded about the word God, not limiting to one Religion. My mentor always teaches me about religion and not to discuss it with anyone whose possess an argument against it, he's reason was always, "the fool has more experience being foolish than you" lol so true. So much history I having mini heart attacks throughout the whole episode, I just love seeing, reading and learning about historical stuff.  Whenever a new episode of this series is released I will share it on my blog, here's episode 1 enjoy !!  The Story of God with Morgan Freeman - Episode One

Losing Friends and People

Image
I can't please everybody and it's not my business what people think of me. I'm human and I battle my human instincts just like every man but they never get the best of me. NEVER! My great grandmother was a prayer warrior and I am blessed to had met her and known her for 9 years of my life before she passed away. Even now as I reflect I am able to see the little lessons she tried to teach me growing up. I'm indeed grateful. At that age, I guess, all one can do is sit down and reflect, bad decisions, good decisions, regrets or no regrets. My great grandmother spent most of her days stirring outside the window just thinking and observing away. Thinking about it, it's probably where I get my observant nature from. Early in my adult life I develop a concept that I will lose people yearly and I will gain people yearly, the ones who last a decade are the ones that are meant to be in my life. That's just how it works, people come and go but the journey remains the s

Getting Back Into Gear......0-100 Real Quick

Image
When I moved to the UK I basically turned over a new page in my life, everything was basically new to me, no job, no steady income anymore, house with strangers at the time, bad weather, I think you get it, this was totally out of my comfort zone. This is my 7th month here and I am finally kicking back into gear and it's amazing if my drive in this country would be identical to the drive I had back home. That means the sky would be the limit for me; considering the many opportunities I had in my country to excel and grow. Once my confidence level got up and I was able to separate the real from the fake then it was all uphill for me.I give all credit to God and praises to God because he has worked me into this stage that I am at now and of course following my mother's advice I know this is not my best or even close to my best. Whatever you are going through understand that there is a higher power in control and if someone tells you differently, tell them to come see me and

Horn Blowing, Oh Wait....

Image
I only blow my own horn when I need a confidence boost to get over an obstacle. I overcame a lot of things to be where I am today and so I have to remind myself that "this too shall come to pass" when I'm faced with a huge challenge. Nobody told me how to be a man growing up and so I had to learn by watching people within my community especially my uncles. Even when I left high school, I was still searching for myself and honestly I still am. I think I've faced everything a black male has to face in this world, except jail time but even that I can't say I won't see based on the  society we live in. In closing, don't settle for less, if you know God got something out there for you, go after it wholeheartedly, I never settle for nothing less than great, I expect the same from you! Be Bless, Be Safe, One Love, Leo

Finding My Balance Again

Image
I am badly off my groove right now, and I need to get back in it. The first quarter of the year is over and I am happy at the rate that I am moving at, however, I still have a lot of personal work to do. This second quarter is very important to me because if it doesn't go my way well....yeah. Through it all though, I thank God for the opportunities he is about to provide for me, there is no doubt of his presence in my life and I appreciate the support he has for me and my vision in which could be his vision for my life. I know exactly where I need to be and how I need to get there but of course the journey itself is totally up to him. Only God knows the lessons I need to fully mature into the adult I need to be for my dreams to truly mean something to me so I put my faith and trust in his words. My balance is always found in my silence so I know what I will be doing to rebalance so that I am ready for this second quarter. Silence is the only way God is able to talk to me and so

I am Back!!!

It feels great to be writing on my wall again ;-D, yes I had a great rest week and I am almost ready to get back to blogging proactively. I do apologize for not updating my blog but I do plan to make up for it next week.

Wednesday or Tuesday the earliest I will be back to blogging fully, I am sorry for the delay, I have pictures, videos, and post to share with you guys that is worth the wait so stay tune.

Game Day - Let's Get It Barons!!!

Image
Today we go up against a league team and it's a crucial game because it's a measuring stick to assess whether or not we are ready for the next step which is playing in an actual league by summer. I proud of the progress these guys have made both physically and mentally; they have definitely grown from our first day of practice. My pre-game mental preparation will be reading a book lol yes I am a geek, Bob Marley playlist on blast and going over a few tapes. I am just grateful to be alive and have strength the dribble a basketball up the court, we take those things for granted sometimes and I am conscious of someone wishing they had this opportunity. Be Bless, Be Safe, One Love! Leo

I Need A Vacation....So Next Week I'm Taking One!!!!

Image
Realizing I didn't take a real vacation last year, I've decided to take one for Spring Break and enjoy a new culture well sort of new; I've visited a Spanish country before so I'm excited to be going to another one. Plus I have been practicing my Spanish a lot lately " Entiendo ?" :-D I love working on new ideas and that's my problem because I am always coming up with new ideas. I have one now that I'm anxious to get to work on but won't until I get back from my vacation. I  know what God has given me and I just want to maximize it to its full potential at the end of the day. My rivals, I don't acknowledge because I compete with no man but if someone considers me one well, good for them.  Work Hard Play Harder? I have fine with everything I do so work is always playful once it's one of my projects. School work or any other work I give it just enough, never my full potential and probably never will. Not because I am lazy but those

Buckingham Baron !!!

Image
There are so many things I'm working on right now but one of the things I am proud of is making my university's basketball team. When I first got to Buckingham, I met a fresher like myself at the time who wanted to restart the school's basketball club. I encouraged him and told him if he does I would join. Now honestly at the time, I just thought he was talking for talking sakes, I didn't anticipate him actually starting the club. The club launched officially in January and here I am today. Played my first game as a Buckingham Baron, and it felt great plus we won which was icing on the cake. I know what starting something from the ground is like and for him to mentally endure obstacles for this vision inspires me. What's even more inspirational is that I actually encouraged him and supported him to this stage.I write this blog to say when someone comes to you with an idea don't brush it off, of course, it sounds impossible at first but don't brush it off

Ban Exams !!!

Image
One of the areas I am an activist for is the banning of exams that account for a large portion of a student grade. I never liked exams and still don't, though, I have never failed one before and I am grateful to God for that I still do not stand for examinations. It seems ridiculous to me to test someone's intelligence by one day of examination. It is a disadvantage to people who have memory problems, and, a huge advantage for people who remember things well or who have photographic memory. I just think it isn't fair and honestly, anything that capitalist praises I am skeptical of. Since capitalism is a system that thrives on competition then it's only right to raise children to be competitors. This is the number one reason why people are growing further and further away for each other, because, we always feel a need to compete with each other and when we are losing we feel we are not good enough, so we distance oursleves. And guess what; this is all related to th

How is this legal ?

Image
So I got this letter in the mail for the fourth time today and my mind told me to read it thoroughly. I don't like politics so I automatically discard anything related to that area. I just realised this [insert curse word] can potentially charge me if I don't register to vote -_-. How is this legal and 80 pounds :-O, how is this legal ? *Sigh*  It's a damn good thing I listened to my mind because I would had dump this thing again. I'm tired of people calling places like the United States of America and the United Kingdom free countries. This is in no way FREEDOM!!!!. If a citizen doesn't want to register to vote why should he/she be fine ? I want to rebel against this but I won't forget, God in heaven knows I will remember this whenever I am in a position to express myself. This is ridiculous !!!! I can't believe these people -_-. On a more positive note, Have a great day!!! Leo

DeBugging The Zika Virus - Conspiracy Theory

Image
Whatever effects Latin American effects the Caribbean as well and so out of the concern for my family members I'm always looking for reason why all these mosquitoes diseases keep popping up in the these regions. My firm belief is that it's politically motivated because of the lucrative pharmaceutical industry but I have no real information to support my gut feeling so I will post an article I've found that makes sense to me and might even help you guys. My favourite quote from the article is “ Official science” is a contradiction in terms, and a grand illusion ". Being a conscious psychology student I can testify to this and with nothing regarded as provable in the field of science, going to doctors and taking their recommended medicines can be considered as them gambling with your life. I won't go in depth on my dislikes for doctors. the pharmaceutical industry and modern day scientist so here's the article. The Zika Virus is a Hoax!..Click Here

Emotions

Lost in my thoughts, Lost thoughts roaming down memory lane, Judging by memory I'm surprised you remembered my name, Was it the million conversations or the phone hang up games?, Bridge still burning I'm inhaling the flames, Tired of games, I swear I'm heading for change, For these hundred dollars bills since money isn't happiness, I'm cashing mines in for a bottle of emotions, Drink it all down, Just drink it all down, Until the bottle is someone I can relate to, Maybe I'm to honest because the feeling wasn't there, Trapped in a maze of the emotions I done gave, To people who didn't deserve it, I should ha ve made them paid, Payday Fridays, Recovering Saturdays, Resting My Sundays and Mourning My Mondays, Weekends are predictable, No more dating, the actions became predictable, Prevent the action before the action is prevented, So I'm sitting at this dinner table writing a note, Dining alone to any eye that looks,

Why Manny Pacquiao Shouldn't Be Criticise

Image
Of course talking about gay rights always is a sensitive topic and seeing and reading Manny Pacquiao's views on it doesn't surprise me at all. Pacquiao was raised on the belief that gay marriages is wrong so last year when the USA aka THE WORLD decided to make gay marriages legal of course these things are going to happen when non Americans express their views on Gay Rights. It's common sense Pacquiao isn't American so he isn't entitled to support anything America does. Now comparing human beings to animals considering we live in a post racist society; this is nothing new people. Do I support Pacquiao's comments ? I won't go as far as degrading another human being for their sins;the gay agenda throughout history has not been a popular or liked agenda. Ancient societies cast them out and scriptures are written in religious books speaking against being gay. When you're a gay supporter you have to understand that being gay was only accepted socially i

Tomorrow's never Promised

Image
I have no excuses, I accept everything that I am prepared for now. Built by the blood, cold sweat and tears I rise to this occasion, this occasion of life, with one goal in sight, if this be my last night, I pray to God I live it right. And these words I write, so much grammatical errors, story of my life, I can't tell it no better, flaws floors' my imperfections, cold tiles seeps beneath my broken feet, carrying a load that wasn't meant for me. Maya Angelou I am Leonardo, a new high breed black mother lover, cops probably labels me a black mother f*cker, excuse my English, the French fries compliments this horrible tasting British fish, I can't be your mate I am not Gay, and if we were on a boat I would probably be your slave so please don't call me mate...Hold up! it's time I behave... *stops writing* .... New Post coming tomorrow for Letsinc.org, you guys stay tune, I will be talking about my fast experiences which is very insightful. Be Bless, Be Insp
