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!

More kids should get weight loss surgery even some preteens is the headline from an AP article. And I love what my man Gerald Celente replied to this article via twitter saying ‘we sure have come a long sick way from an apple a day keeps the doctor away’.
I could not agree more. It seems that as an absolute last resort ok maybe I can agree there is an option for this. However when most children on this planet are either going hungry or living an active lifestyle and have a healthy weight, then what is it about North America that suggests our children need to have surgery to correct something of this nature?
When those who we look up to for our own health are telling us to take such an extreme action, over food, diet, and activity it seems just a little harsh or off centre to me. I can only image the issues that could possibly arise from surgery at such a young age, and as well are we ever really looking to solve the problem any more or simply just looking to put a band aid over every issue that seems to arise in our lives?
As always it needs to be us that goes deep inside to look for the answers because "they" whoever they are do no have them for us, maybe it will work for some. The hard work it takes to loose the weight or the hard work it takes to overcome anything in the end is always worth it, it ,makes us stronger and forges us into who and what it is we are meant to be and become!

Feeling Massively Frustrated and out of place.
This is from the KP blog and he worded this so well that I had to jump in and give my 2 cents as well. I see and have been seeing this gain momentum for the last few months and I continue to say there are those who will go deeper into a sleep (maybe even have given up on life) and there are those who continue to wake up to all the beauty and joy life holds for each one of us.
Now that truly begins with self reflection and diving deep into our own past and stories.
For myself and others the pointless conversations of the weather, sport teams, Hollywood this and that, all this surface bull crap that invades our conciseness does nothing really for us. Don't get me wrong if these conversations truly make you happy then all the power to you to continue on with them. My issues is the 5 minutes here and there talking about these things could be put to much better use talking about things that truly matter to this planet and to our souls.
That does not mean it has to deep and spiritual B.S either, but rather just positive meaningful local enjoyment for all those involved.
The point of life as KP wrote is not to get old, get fat, give up, and die.
This attitude does frustrate the phuck out of me. Realize the blessing we each have just being alive!!
This all starts by looking deep inside ourselves! It is time to start your process!

Popeye’s chaos chicken sandwich rampage, it’s next level people. I have been saying this for the last 4-6 months now, there are going to many who go deeper into that mental sleep, that matrix, that lower vibrating energy. As well there are those who are going to wake the phuck up out of it all and finally start to live their life!
It is an amazing time to be alive.
There is and are so many reason's to be alive, there are so many issues any one of us could and can stand up for, there are so many of our fellow brothers and sisters that need help, there are so many reasons simply to want to be the best person we can be.
This as I always say starts inside us, and as well it starts with our mental diet and food diet. These things we putting into our bodies physically, socially and mentally all effect us to the core (and by that I mean at the atomic level) our very make up.
So when you see the type of news coming out of the world (and it is not like this is a one time thing, rather something that has now happened numerous times again and again) we can see the difference in the way we are each made up. Some are awake and some are falling deeper and deeper into the abyss.
How is it possible that most of us don't and won't stand up for all the wrong doings going on in this amazing planet from; child abuse, sex trafficking, human trafficking, the abuse of our women, animals, and the list goes on and on.
Yet we will kill a mofo for a burger?!!
Tell me what the phuck is going on?
It's simple we have lost our way, and until each one of us looks deep inside to heal, ain't much gonna change!

How to be gentle with yourself in times of knowing we need to change or be better. Not an easy thing. For myself personally and how my training was taught to me was very old school very strict and very authentic.
So I took that same mentality into the changes I implemented into my lifestyle. Now something we talk about all the time here is our mental state. So for me being so rigid, so discipline, so hard and focused on exactly to a T what it was I wanted to eat, when, how much and so on and on. I mean that also is a form of stress and an actual hindering to improvement if you don’t have the right mindset.
So for those who follow and are on this journey of starting to be your best self, I say this. One major issue I have taken into practice now compared to my start is to flow a little more. Stop being so rigid, it’s not only tough on ourselves but I can only image that it may not be that fun to be around for those whom we share our life with.
And for myself someone who wants to implement change for myself and others around that starts with happy good vibes not strict cold calculated robotic moves. The entire point of life (which when I started I think I completely forgot about was is to enjoy) Yes to enjoy your life, the people around you and all the blessings in each of our lives. To spread love and joy to others around us, not to be a bump on a log that no one wants to be around.
So again there are things we each must be dedicated to but also remember the phrase "when in Rome"

Detox the body benefits and why all major religions and ancient cultures did it?
So as most of you who listen regularly know I have been cleansing 2 times a year for the last 12 plus years. I fully believe in it and I fully subscribe to all the benefits it has provided me along my journey. I feel it is my secret sauce, one of the things that separates good from great.
What it does internally to my insides at a cellular level, what it does for my organs, my mind and my energy. I mean I can tell you the true before and after and it is night and day. The body as well after this long of doing it knows it coming around spring and fall and there is an obvious reason for that "the season change". It truly is an internal thing, an ancestry thing.
If it is health and longevity any of us seek than this is a major component of life that we should be subscribed to. I have spoken to many of the listeners and followers of the show and a few of them seem to think that what we put into our bodies does not effect our over all well being. They do not yet comprehend how eating correlates to blood sugar spikes, mind fog, fatigue, and so on, and or on the flip side if eating clean and nutritious foods, then how that allows sharpness mentally and physically, energy for days, strength and overall joy.
My personal feeling is in these current times we each need to do what we can to empower ourselves and not rely on others to save us, and that starts with something as simple as a detox!

Vitamin b 12 and vegans and all other dietary intakes.
This was a question brought forth to me today as I sat in my most favourite, most comfortable, my go to spot for food 24/7. I had a green juice and a fruit bowl siting in front of me for my first meal of the day, and I was excited to get at it.
Now my man who is on the opposite side of the health train from me (rougher lifestyle, partying, late nights, and drugs) comes in to get a friend of his a coffee (this place only serves top notch coffee). This guy thinks as he told me, we are all fools for Spending money in a place like this. As he came in tossing out his cigarette eating a breakfast burger from some gas station, and drinking that gas station coffee. So his aasumption is that this place and others like it are just riding the fad that is "health conscious" in these current times
So spending money on nutritionally dense foods or his own health obviously not at all a priority. Yet here is the mind blowing conversation that ensued, he asks me if I worry about my sugar intake, then follows that up with so where are you getting your b 12 from then, if you're only eating this? I was wondering if I was on a joke game show.
All fair questions, but absolutely irrelevant if you eat crap from a fast food spot that has zero on a scale of nutrition, I mean those are not even the proper questions to be asking I my opinion.
You can honestly tell me you don’t eat healthy because you worry about the sugar and b 12? But you eat off the dollar menu at some fast food spot? I just cannot correlate the mind set. Why would you worry about those questions while putting poison into your system 24/7?
I say this often we really all need to be and get educated on what healthy actually means!
