"Just as a clinched had receives no gifts, a closed mind receives no knowledge!" K.C. The Prosperator
Part of my personal mission is to think outside the box. That addition to my personal mission statement was born out of my desire to escape labels and societal packaging. It was also born out of my desire to stay open to new ideas and ways of thinking that are contrary to my own.

 Advertisers often use our addiction to this mindset to help sell products by suggesting that we will be better than the next person if we use this product or drive that car or live in this neighborhood. The standards or charactaristics of superioririty are often very trendy and change quickly. They leave us constantly scrambling to both consciously and subconsciously live up to these unattainable standards of false excellence. It even affects our relationships and how we treat one another. So, the whole way we handle one another is based on differences and the assumptions that we make about that person as a result of our inordinate obsession with these differences. We make assumptions about people because of their skin color, their eye color, their job, age, status and children, for example; ignoring or never even caring about who and what they truly are.

"Patience is the companion of wisdom" Saint Augustine (354 AD - 430 AD)
What does it mean when someone tells you to "be patient"? Are you patient in some aspects of your life but impatient in others? Are you damaging your productivity and success by being impatient? Do you get angry when things aren't moving as quickly as you would like? Are you upset when others are not as quick witted as you? Do you often rush to judgement? Are you trying to do too many things at one? Is your brain filled with senseless chatter that you are too rushed to deal with? Well, you are not alone. Let's talk about patience and why it is so important.

Do you find yourself in a perpetual emotional whirlwind when it comes to money? Are all your financial transactions couched in a bed of emotions? If you get upset or disappointed, do you have to buy yourself something? If you see your neighbor with a new car do you find yourself wandering aimlessly into a car lot the following weekend? Do you race to your favorite department store every weekend fiending for the latest designer trends? Are you emotionally focused on making money or spending money?

How to Use Allowance and Desire to Get The Most Out of Life |
 Written by Wendy Franklin Muhammad, The Authenticity Coach ™
I was just on my way out the door to work out when something stopped me. I spend time when I’m working out thinking about my desires and visualizing what I want to manifest. I was beginning that familiar mental process as I laced up my gym shoes. At that moment, I thought, “What is beyond manifestation?” I ran back to jot a few notes down and I’m still sitting here writing and sharing with you at this moment. I guess a creative work out was in order!
I have also been thinking a lot lately about how so much of the popular human development teaching that is out there focuses on desire and manifestation. We are told to visualize our desires and to hold the thought of them in our mind. We are coached to keep gratitude journals and be grateful about all that we are receiving or manifesting. We are taught to focus on what is showing up as opposed to what is not showing up.

In honor of my Blog Talk Radio Show on the Economic Crisis with world renowned financial expert, Bro. Bedford, I decided that it would be a good idea to rattle your cage a bit about money. Ok now, let me rattle your cage a bit.
They say that an estimated 2% of the world’s population controls approximately 96% of the material wealth in the entire world. What keeps all of us from being in that 2%? Well I realized that what’s stopping us is our Po-Mouth Mentality.
Let’s talk about money for a minute. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to discover that in our society, money is very important. Moreover, money is one of the main focuses and topics of discussion in our world today. Most of our entire lives revolve around making and acquiring money. I was studying this subject and wrote down this statement from a thesis paper called Abundance and Happiness, written by one of my coaching colleagues:

Understanding the Intelligence of Your Heart
Written by: Wendy Franklin Muhammad, The Authenticity Coach ™
 Our perceptions, mental and emotional attitudes, immune system, reaction times, and decision-making abilities are all directly related to the health of our heart. Cultivating heart intelligence begins with recognizing that at any point in time we have the opportunity to recognize that there are many different perspectives to a situation, and that our perceptions, thoughts, choices, and actions, condition the events and outcomes of our lives. Learning to raise our EQ or our level of emotional intelligence can improve our heart intelligence and increase our heart-brain connection.

“Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.” Benjamin Spock
We live in a highly competitive world. Society gives us the green light to constantly look for ways in which we can be better than the next person or to get more for what we give. We compete for jobs, friends, mates, money, homes, attention, compliments, love, you name it. So, when we hear statements that tell us to focus on our creative side, we find ourselves challenged. In fact, we’ve deemed our competitive nature as a survival mechanism that we tweak and enhance unconsciously. It’s hard for us to think about being creative or, furthermore, to even comprehend what that truly means. The first thing that comes to mind is the artistic form of creation, which is certainly a valid and important aspect of this concept. But what I’m referring to here, is a way of thinking that aligns us with the Mind of our Creator; one that will cause us to rise above any circumstance or intellectual challenge; one that is inclusive and reliant upon the flow of the Universe; One that requires trust.

On Wednesday, June 25, 2009, the world received shocking news of the sudden death of our beloved entertainment icon, Michael Jackson. I was filled with shock and disbelief as I read the text message from my friend. I heard that TMZ broke the story and soon learned that radio stations around the country were playing his music in acknowledgement of his death. I turned on CNN, who respectfully refused to prematurely report the news of his passing, The word was that he was in a coma. I clung on to some sign of hope. I texted another friend and asked if Michael Jackson had passed away. But, as I got quiet and contemplated on my limited understanding of the difference between cardiac arrest and a heart attack, I saw an image of his happy little spirit float away. I texted my friend back and said, “Yes, I believe he’s gone”.
