How Can I Stop Being Mediocre ?

Image
We know we deserve better and that’s why we strive for better. We don’t always necessarily get to our satisfied place mentally, we fallout, fall back, and give up and embrace mediocrity. Growing up my dad would tell me stories of the first member of our family to make it big. King Kaku Ackah. A nation builder and leader in the 17 and 18 century. He fought long against the Portuguese, Dutch only loosing to the deception of the English. His family scattered and struggled to find the past glory and nation building skills again. When I was in middle class foster care I was surrounded with comfort luxury and a seemingly easy life. Tryouts for the regional juvenile team in serie A at 9 was quite an achievement. My dads incapacity to reconcile with his failure and submission to Christianity made him jealous .The task to be great had stumbled on me and so he did what every narcissist does best: he destroyed everything; himself, me, and his family. What has all this got to do with mediocrity. S...

Is Life About The Pursuit Of Things Bigger Than Ourselves?

Image
 I think life is all about doing things in pursuit of something bigger than yourself. Life wouldn't be as extraordinary as it is if you're always thinking about me, me, me. Having your vision set to something larger than yourself is the most fulfilling. It means you're helping others, uplifting those around you, and inspiring others to do the same. That's what matters most. At the end of your life, nobody will remember you for the things you did for yourself. They will remember all you did for others. It's the things that pushed the world forward so all of humanity can benefit. Ego and selfishness get in the way. Fame, money, and power, rather than love, connection, and purpose. Don't fall into the trap. When you're doing something bigger than yourself, your heart is deeply in it. You are so in love with what you're doing, because you know how important it is. It's something that positively impacts those around you and leaves your mark. Life is short...

What Is Broke Shaming ?

Image
In 2021 I went to dinner with a mixed couple. We chose a Caribbean restaurant in Brixton, South East London. During one of the conversations I had to describe where we lived. In Gravesend. We described Gravesend as “white trash”. I noticed the expression on their face, it looked like they just swallowed turtle poop or something similar. I have had numerous occasions where I have described something I’ve done or experienced and people have had the turtle poop reaction. But why? I grew up with white Italian middle class foster parents. I went skiing in the winter and beach in the summer. We had a German shepherd as guard dog in a colonial 3 floor house with a basketball court. I’m saying this to make the point, that I’ve seen what middle class looks and feels like. The other side of the coin was that we’d go camping, do charity at the local Catholic Church where my foster parents were personally involved, we recited 50 Ave Maria’s every May for a week, and I remember we housed a family o...

Has Slavery Ended ?

Image
  You’ve never been free, you’ve just been attached to a long leash. Slavery never ended,     it just evolved. In the past they would enslave the body but now the mind has been enslaved. Your mind has been taken from you. You wonder why you’re depressed, you wonder why you’re unmotivated… it’s because deep down you know you’re locked in a cage. Look at the cities you live in compared to the architecture of the past. They even took beauty from you and sold it back to you as luxury. Everything in this world, including food and water has been taken from you and sold back to you. God gave you this earth and there are people who have taken his gift to you and charged you money to access it. What gives them the right to sell you what God gave all of us? You think you live in a democracy but you live in a dictatorship. You drastically underestimate power if you think those in power would give you the opportunity to take from them. Your elections are no more real than the reality...

How To Brainwash Millions Of People

Image
  People are becoming whatever their masters brainwash them to be. Free will has become an illusion as the majority of people just follow the herd like sheep unconsciously while the few of us stand against this zombification of the human mind. The weak are being herded into a group hypnosis. The elite are removing an individual's ability to reach self individuality. Most people don't even possess their own perceptions. All the views they have of themselves, others, and the world are programmed into their subconscious through hypnosis and propaganda. The matrix also uses tactics like shaming and FOMO to force people into a bias and herd mentality. Most people don't want to be the only one who doesn't agree with the majority or else they'll be rejected by the tribe... This is how most people make decisions and form beliefs. They don't seek to express truth, they seek to express whatever will make others accept them. The fear of judgment makes it easy for the matri...

How To Explore Your Inner Self

Image
The actual psychological personality of a person is referred to as the self of a person. Each one of us has a hidden self within us, but we are not aware of it. A human being thinks that it is his consciousness that lead his actions. Actually, our inner self guides our behavior in our day-to-day life. This self is constructed and undergoes transformation with the passage of time as we experience new things. Ego also forms a part of our inner self. It makes us fight for our own identity in the world. It stresses on an individual existence of a human being separated from others. This will make an individual proud and selfish. He will neglect certain facts, which will be an obstacle in his self-awareness and thereby degrading his self-development. Thus for the development of the inner-self, the foremost step is self-introspection. This means that an individual should look within himself and analyze his own personality. This way he will be able to make out his own strengths and weaknesses....

Why Does The Middle Class Still Think Money Is Earned Through Labour?

Image
  The average person believes the harder they work the more money they'll make. Their linear thinking equates labor and effort with financial success. This is why most people aren't rich. They're following an outdated model of success and are confounded when they reach middle age with little money to show for twenty years of hard work. The rich know that creative thinking is the highest paid skill in the world. Independent, creative thinking is the most valuable asset anyone can acquire. So while the masses are trying to figure out how to put their kids through college and retire on half of what they can barely exist on now, the great ones are building empires, living in abundance, and donating large sums to their favorite causes. This sets off a psychological domino effect, because once a person thinks and lives at this level of abundance, they know even greater levels of success are possible through the vehicle of creative thought. Most of us were told as kids that if we ...
