Ricky Gervais fires, wars, climate change stop the lies! I tell you what we live in a time when fast food and fast headlines are killing us softly. Are we loosing our ability to think and do for ourselves.... yup I think so.
Nonetheless it’s a place in time that we each need to step into our own power, we need to take back our power. We need more people in position of influence to start maybe giving a little bit of a middle report on what’s going on.
It’s not so left or so right but let’s meet in the middle. It’s about hope and it’s about a purpose driven life. Let’s stop the quick fix BS lifestyle! The only people who are going to be able to save or help or better us, is us!
Yes, that mean's me and that mean's you. No one else truly gives a phuck this is just fact. They want to take our money our power our health or whatever it maybe, and the only way to combat that is to be mentally, physically and spiritually on point. The Strength is within us, it never left, we just forget we have it, because we have been told we don't have any.

Snake oil sales man fuck em!! So so disappointed in all the broken people who continue to break people. The only reason it irks me is because these people I spoke to today damn well know they don’t have the answers, they don’t actually take care of themselves as they preach to others, they don't practice what they preach at all, and yet want to portray to people that they have it all figured out.
As well charge money to lead these people down an unreasonable path that leads to nowhere. For me, my take was that these groups I met with (whom asked for my opinion and help mind you) never put in the real work to get to the bottom of their own personal issues. Even the name of their talks or their course is just an absolute blatant lie to what they actually are and portray. If there was just a little honesty just a little realness I could have really got behind them, yet to fake and lie through social media and pictures just shows that the intent is not positive!
So why does any of this matter? Simply because us as a people need and must take our power back. Thus meaning we need to spot out the fakes and as well warn each other of these fakes so again we can empower ourselves.
It really is that simple by helping each other out we then empower each other to rise above. Fuck the fakers and fuck those who are trying to fake their way of taking money out of our pockets that we work very very hard for. Let’s watch out for each other and have each other back. Power back to the people.

Fuck fear be inspired to live. It’s a new day it’s a new you. Why do we live in this self inflicted prison / fear state? We all have partners in our life from work to family and we are all under the same influences of these new energies hitting the planet currently. So none of us are special and none of are getting out of this without being effected.
Yet I urge all of us to try to take a few moments to analyze our reactions to opportunities, and our reactions to fear, and our reactions to our own thought process to how we respond to the things that come at us daily. If we can pause and simply put a little critical thinking into the 'why am I responding like this as I always do time after time?!'
We need to learn and by this I mean just a little push each day, little by little to be a tiny bit more confident then we were yesterday. To blossom into the human we were put on this planet to become. Fear is the control form that keeps each and every one of us in our own prison cell. Only we do that, and we do this to ourselves.
Getting the same results, weird right. Its time it’s 2020 and that means its time we look at all these opportunities that come up and push fear to the side. It’s our time it’s our life.

Broken people break people, healed people heal people. If we are not looking up to those who are older than us and in amazing health then we are missing out on some of the best education available to us out there.
Really think about these are the type of people who have put in the real time, effort, and hard work to go through the ups and downs of what it is to heal to be better and to learn what works best. Guess what each one of us is capable of this as well it just takes time and effort. However the outcome of being healed is something that is not explainable unless you get to experience it.
This struggle and this process is not always fun but to live our best life if the entry point is a little discomfort then come on, what are we waiting for?
We have to look and seek info that is for some reason not promoted to the main stream people, yet in a lot of other cultures these older types are highly revered for their strength, health and knowledge, again something we are not at all use to.
Yet no matter what you hear or they say, it's our time, it's our right and our duty to be our best self possible and to take our power back!

Ageism, Young and damaged young and clueless yet be inspired.
We continue on with the process of taking back our universal rite of being self empowered ok. This includes the poor view or the bigotry we all have been programmed to believe is true which is after you hit 25 life is over and you are old, your body will start falling apart have a couple kids get fat and take pills the rest of your life. Depressing or what.
Today while wishing an old business partner a happy birthday, his new partner who is a little younger was almost disappointed that the birthday boy was the best all around athlete in their gym.
From my studies all ancient groups knew as you aged you got stronger and smarter, yet as usual we do things a little backwards in the western culture don’t we.
Instead of praising this amazing ageing human he immediately wants to replace it with something younger?! Interesting rite!?! So for each one of us the time is now we are in the perfect storm to take over with the knowledge we have and the amazing smarts we have. It's our time to be our best and live our best life! That will lead to inspiring others in the same age categories to do the same!

It’s feels so good to feel this good! Looking back on some of my earliest journals of when I began all these changes in my life way back when, and I did not start journaling until maybe 3 or 4 years into my journey. However what I can tell you as an absolute fact is how amazing it feels feels to feel amazing like almost 100 percent of the time.
Again and as always we are all human and there are times when I don’t get a perfect sleep or I do catch a cold but over all I mean unless you have experienced it, it’s like you just can’t understand how amazing it is to drink this cool aid! If you are not looking up to those who are later in life and living an empowered healthy life then you are doing yourself a disservice for real.
Again I am talking from 12 plus years of doing this. Not hey I tried this for a week or 2 and it’s amazing so you should try it as well. No this is real talk and real life and you can not believe how truly good it is to have this knowledge and be able to implement it, execute the routine and then reap the rewards.
At the start it was a change and some hard work had to be put into this change, but once it becomes your lifestyle, it’s all over and the matrix is exposed and you don’t and won't accept anything that won’t allow you to operate at 110 percent.
This is our time, our one life, so make it count!

Fuck your New Years resolutions they are BS anyway. We as a society place all this hype all this attention all this anxiety on this one day.
Why? Really think about it.
I see each and every year in a gym or in the fight club I belong to, 10 plus new people walk in January 2, then low and behold within 2 weeks we are down to 5 new people then by February you are lucky to see 1 remaining. This happens year after year. Just facts. Statistically what is it 98 percent failure rate on all the BS resolutions we think up for the up coming year. Again why?
Something we pride ourselves on here is small actions daily over a long period, that is the true road to change. Don’t get me wrong we can use this date for sure as a jump off point. However I personally feel that there is more damage caused if you fall prey to the hype, toss out a big New Years resolution and then fail. That takes a tole on our mind body and soul!!
Which then puts us in a negative emotional state, which leads to depression and then that poor old me mentality. We are then no longer vibrating at a higher energy level, which is what we need to focus on. Staying in that higher vibrating energy area, it is a must!

Why toxic people never admit their wrong? It’s just one of those weird things when you can talk and converse with someone who just has zero faults and can regurgitate all the talking points the news or the latest scientific document has already pointed out.
Absolutely none of their own thoughts or creations, simply a head line reader and those talking points simply match with which ever "team" or belief system they want to back.
I truly (speaking from my own experience) find it is a form of toxicity. Further more if they are unwilling to look into themselves (again something I needed to do and did and undertook 14 years ago now) then they are themselves part of a toxic world wide problem.
So for me and anyone looking to empower themselves, to take back their universal rite to be empowered to be Alpha (male or female) and spread this positivity this mindset that says just get all the sides of all the info then make your own INFORMED decision. Wow what a spot that will be once we as team humanity can get there!
It will be epic!!

We all have the same insecurities so let’s talk about it! None of us are that special that we are exempt from feeling human emotions. Guess what we all bleed red and we all use a bathroom and for the most part our minds are all wired somewhat similarly.
So do not get it twisted when someone says “I don’t care what you, they, he, she thinks” because as each one of us who has ever said that (yup I’ve said it many many times) we don’t mean it.
Because that issue Is actually really bugging us!!
We get our backs up against the wall mainly because we assume something that may not be 100% correct, then instead of addressing it immediately we just play it off like we are uber cool and nothing effects us at all.
Every Human has these same issues, yet we play like this type of thing does not happen. I mean it just happened to me not even 3 days ago. Even after all the training and the tricks in my tool shed, I still felt a certain way. My only saving grace is that I am able to swing out of these emotions somewhat quickly, yet we all try to shrug it off like nothing hurts us, nothing bothers us.
Come on we are in the 2020s time for a change beautiful people, and that change starts with each one of us!

What if this Is the last time I am Able to?!!
Going back to the very first few years and months on my training way back I every now and again remember the amazing and beautiful lessons of the ancient Japanese Tea Ceremony. This beautiful event is handed down generation to generation and since then I personally applied it to my own tea time. Which is to just be mindful when I enjoy a cup of tea, to listen to my surroundings and just be grateful for all.
So today something a little more deep came to pass. The what if this is the last time I get to taste this “ insert your favourite item”. This just got me to thinking how myself personally just assume I can always get another tea, or cocoa drink, or...whatever it maybe be. But what if this was the last time I get to sip this tea? Really think about that. Really think about how preciouses it all is, from loved ones, to sight to walking. We are blessed at every turn, if we so chose to accept it as such!
