Grass Ain’t Greener....

Life is what you make! For the past 5 years I've accomplished numerous of goals and after each one I was convinced that the other one would bring me the happiness I wanted. You can basically say I was on this "Pursuit of Happiness". My last attempt to pursue something took me out of my comfort zone into a country I was unfamiliar with. J Cole once said "There's no such thing as a life that's better than yours" and I've grown to understand each line of that song. After years of chasing after goals, it hit me that the only thing I needed in this lifetime is the love of my family. Listen to me I've met thousands of rich people and I can tell you that money does not make you happy. It solves a lot of problems that can cause discomfort without it but happiness, well, happiness does not have a price. 

 Do I want to be rich?  who doesn't want to live life on their terms but my riches does not define me, what defines me is the impact I am able to leave on my family, friends and world on a daily basis.  

 The grass is not greener on the other side if what you are looking for is happiness from accomplishments and accolades. What you will find is that after 2-3 weeks, you will be aiming for another goal, then another goal, then another goal. It doesn't stop, it's greedy "The Mind". You have to tell it "look I am done, those awards mean nothing to me, I just want to be with the people who truly care about me"

 At this point in my life, I just want to focus o helping people now. I don't care about receiving any more accolades and accomplishments I am done. I just want to be with my family!

Let It Flow Chale.....

Both of my mentors has been grilling me for my attitude lately and yes I am confessing that I was trying to force a lot of things to happen. I got worried, I allowed the fear of the future to get me completely out of my grove. I remember I would wake up hungry, ready to take on the challenges of the day and lately I've had mornings, where I didn't want to even face the reality of what my life was. Yes, somewhere I allowed society to contaminate my mind with thoughts of being an iconic success story one day. I wanted it all and I wanted it now and this is what was making my mentors uncomfortable about me. I lost the appreciation of the little things while focusing on the big picture and I cried when I realize how far I feel off from the person I was when I first started this journey. I am back into my "FLOW" mood, just allowing things to happen and what doesn't happen wasn't meant to be. I look back at last year around this time and the odds I was up agains

Making Progress On New Year's Resolution

How do I make progress this year ? 1. Tackling the biggest misconception about new year's resolutions(NYR) - It does not have to start at the beginning of the year. Most people begin the year believing that change must be made instantly. It does not work like that. Change just like anything in the world that is worth having, takes time. Change is like a seed, you plant it, water it and make sure it is getting exposure to sunlight. By doing those things, you have made an effort and the rest is up to the universe to decide whether you are ready for a new plant(change) in your life. The universe gives us what we are ready for and it always comes at the right time.  2. What if my NYR is finding Love ? - The seed you plant for love is a seed you plant inside of yourself. A seed of personal growth; you must become the person you want to fall in love with and that takes time. We hold on to our beliefs on how life should turn out and honestly life should not be shaped by such expec

Why am I still in my box?

A year ago my mentor sent me an email about me being inside of box- not showing the world who I am, what my talents are and the gift that God has given me. Eventually I learned how to come out of my box while living in the UK and I was able to impact a few lives while doing so.  Living inside the box was safe, no one knew me, no one expected anything of me, I could be free well at least that was the illusion I was selling to myself. In contrast, living outside of the box created a passion, it made me feel valuable, it showed me my purpose in this world and that was real freedom - knowing everyday that I can impact the world just by being who I was meant to be, created a feeling of "flying" in my soul. I actually love being outside of the box although I am more vulnerable there but I think venerability is the one thing that allows people to connect with you. It's the one thing that allows people to feel comfortable around you(i.e. like a form of humility) so don't
