Peace,
I came across this dope song the other day…an old school hip hop track called “Self-Conscience” by Nas & Prodigy (of Mobb Deep) and I’d like you to take a second to listen to it.

Particularly Prodigy’s verse, because he builds on how he uses his internal voice to help navigate him through writer’s block and other forms of self-doubt.

What makes it so brilliant is how he crafted the rhyme: peep how it’s actually a conversation with his own self-awareness, and how his internal warrior is his ally, NOT his …

Next Tuesday, I’ll be one of the presenters at an ODU (Old Dominion University’s) event called Sankofa: Distant Relatives, a “multicultural historic celebration of art, culture and social activism.”

As you might already know, Sankofa is an Akan word literally translating as “return, seek and take.” Some aphorism derived from the term include:

>> “You can always undo your mistakes,”
>> “There is nothing wrong with learning from hindsight,” and
>> “It is not taboo to return and get what you have forgotten.”

The traditional symbol for this concept is a mythical bird that flies …

Here’s another excerpt from my upcoming book, Doing the Knowledge: Ascending into Action. I shared the first few paragraphs of this with you in Session 11 from Conquer Yourself (the one on sports psychology and an athlete’s mindset), so today we’ll finish the entire section…

It’s called “Knowledge Feeds Uniqueness,” and it’s from a chapter in the book entitled “Being Unique & Being Yourself.” You’ll definitely see the classic literature influence in this one, so check it out:

Usually on youtube you find a lot of people wasting time, acting childish or otherwise promoting stupidity.
But there’s a lot of knowledge on there too, and once you start finding some of the knowledge-oriented material, it’ll link you to even more science because of the related posts. Eventually, you’ll come to find that youtube is a great place to do research online.
Here’s an example of that with some of my favorite joints from the channel “Psyche-Truth” (check out their youtube page here). Peep it:

To make it easier for you though, I just copied and pasted everything right here below. Check it out:

So here’s a funny video my friend Scott Brandon Hoffman just put up >> one of my first friends on facebook who’s been positive and supportive ever since…

His whole thing is spirituality and self-Help with a comedic twist, which is where we all need to be: at a point where we take a more lighthearted approach towards developing ourselves.(INSTEAD OF trying to transcend the next level by force…it’s a deep point we’ll get into later, but for now, just check this out – it’s fun.)
