Protect Your Mental Harmony

Think about it. It really doesn’t matter if you are born on the right side of the tracks, attend the finest universities, and inherit a hundred million dollars: If you don’t have mental harmony a prosperous life will be out of reach for you.

So it was no surprise that as I negotiated a deal with a drug dealer for the sixth time, for the sixth time he asked me if I was an undercover police officer. After assuring him I wasn’t, he produced an 8-ball of crystal meth, which I accepted and replaced with the cash.

Facing That Scary Person in the Mirror

A lot of people come up to me after speeches or contact me through the blog and social media complaining that they have a fear of failure that is paralyzing them. Most of the time upon deeper analysis the truth is revealed…

Do You Have Concrete Brain?

Today let’s look at something we discuss here frequently: your brain. Or more specifically, how you develop, care for, and protect it from being co-opted by the forces that want to manipulate and control it. For me, my greatest fear is developing what I think of as “concrete brain.”

Find Motivation When You Need It

What are the things in your life that you put off, waiting until you feel motivated?
