12/19 REAL TALK: The Economics of Fear

Merely an emotion, Fear is the most expensive emotion known to man. Imagine the amount of financial, emotional and physical damage that fear is responsible for: our current global financial state, negative relationships and abusive relationships, disease and limited physical ability caused by limited mental vision -- or FEAR.

Some say the acronym is F.alse E.vidence A.ppearing R.eal. False evidence for what? Well, we as a people will always find reasons, ideas and excuses to validate whatever we believe; and when we believe something as a whole consciousness it makes that belief even more powerful -- even if it's not the truth, which then causes millions if not billions of people to look for circumstances, reasons, excuses and "realities" to validate the overall consensus. Have you seen/read the news lately? Mass media is very good at aiding the process.

Right now, as a global financial world our fear is dominating us. Although inflation and deflation, growth and attrition are part of cyclical upward and downward waves of life, the depth, length and intensity of a single cycle is driven by our fear and fear's opposite sex if you will -- greed.

The solution? Use your imagination. Take a moment and visualize a hand that is tightly closed, gripping onto something -- and that something that it's holding is believed by the person holding it to be very valuable. What can escape that hand? What can enter that hand? You guessed it. Absolutely nothing. A door works both ways; surely it keeps people/things out, but it also holds people/things in. The second part we often forget.

The worlds money hasn't gone anywhere. Currency is simply an energy measure -- and as energy, it cannot be created, nor destroyed. So where is it? In banks. Everyone is holding on to their money for dear life because of fear. The fear that more will not come in, the fear imparted by media that the global state of affairs is "bad," etc. So it's all just sitting in position, waiting to be used and moved.

Use your imagination...again. Imagine that every time you spend money, as it's leaving one hand (or your bank account), double that amount is immediately coming in to replace it. IMAGINE! -- being the operative word here. If you're paying attention you'll notice your mind and your body react with a set of stress free emotions. Too philosophical or spiritual for you? Well, I started off by saying fear is an emotion -- the only way to get rid of it is by replacing it with faster, more powerful emotions -- one of which is the emotion of abundance -- as opposed to scarcity.

It starts with one. Me, you and then the world.

Think about it.

11/05 Brick And Lace Live In Ghana Photos

Yay! They're finally here - the photos from the concert that we held in Ghana with artist Brick & Lace. For those of you who don't know, this concert was designed to raise awareness among the youth for what Real Talk is and what we do. We did accomplish our mission. Check out the photos below to get glimpse of how things went. I'm particularly inspired by the photos of the children at the orphanage. Stay tuned for what's next. Real Talk.

09/10 REAL TALK: Curiosity

Curiosity will take you to wonderful places you never would have otherwise known you could go.

Curiosity is, at its heart, a love for life and everything in it.

Those who are the most authentically and persistently curious are the best informed. Simple, sincere curiosity brings a richness of wisdom and unique experience into your life.

The biggest impediment to curiosity is arrogance. For in order to be truly curious, you must first admit that you do not know.

Keep in mind that intelligence is more than a measure of what you already know.

Intelligence depends on always being open to learning new things, some of which will contradict and supersede what you already thought you knew.

Though curiosity will often compel you to undertake great effort, curiosity itself requires no effort. Drop your pretenses, allow yourself to be curious, and you are.

There is no end to the wonder that you can discover, wherever you are, whatever you do. Be curious, and be fully alive.
