" The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages is preserved into perpetuity by a nation's proverbs, fables, folk sayings and quotations. -William Feather Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure . You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that?s where you will find success. - Thomas J. Watson Many a one has succeeded only becaus

Image via Wikipedia While in pain I weeped/ My soul opened to answers/ Secrets were revealed/ I have been fortunate in my life to have been blessed to sit at the feet of some the wisest men and woman. They have taught me a lot and some of the stories I will bring to you through my blog, and videos. I have one elder who taught me an important lesson about 14 years ago and it has finally sunk in. This elder is a major part of The SIMBA Nation, and his lesson came to me by way of a question that he not only asked me, but he continues to still ask every potential NationBuilder in the SIMBA Nation. The question is simply "when was the last time you cried ?" Seems like a simple question on paper, but when asked in an interview process and also dealing with many of the "false" lessons of manhood. This simple question sends you for a loop. The question hit home for me while I was taking care of my youngest daughter . She began to cry and I did everything in my power

How do you care for your invisible sword? Do you practice using it or do you just keep it in your sheath? Your Invisible sword needs to be used on a regular basis in your battles of life. you must harness your techniques and constantly practice with it. You must keep it oiled and sharp, and ready for action. The dangers of your mind are very similar to that of a sword. Because like a sword the mind cuts both ways. It can either cut you if used improperly, or cut your opponent. We have to constantly practice using our mind, and like with a sword develop techniques that are effective. For example what thoughts (strikes) are you throwing out into the world. Many of us constantly produce cutting blows upon ourselves by producing negative thoughts. We destroy ourselves long before o

Image by eph2810 via Flickr What is in your name/ It is the song of your life/ What song do you dance/ What does your name  say about you? Have you taken the time to find out what the most prominent word in your life says about you? If you do know and don't like what it means, have you taken the time to either change it or even redefine  it? One of the gifts we were blessed with by our Creator , was the ability to define . So let us start by defining ourselves. We need to learn to look at our names as tools to help us achieve our goals in  life. Does your name empower you to move toward your destiny, or does the sound of it weigh you down. Take control of your life,  and guide the song of your life. We also need to be careful about the names that we call others. Do you speak failure to friends and family. Are you throwing pleasant curses through the nicknames we use or give. We have forgotten about the power of the Word, especially the words that we use to describe ours

Image by Aesum via Flickr David slew giant/ With free stones, could terrorist / Do same to this land?/ David slew the unstoppable Goliath with three smooth stones. David was a unknown shepard living in the hills with his flock, he had no reputation nor did he have anything to loose. The stones costed David close to nothing. The only thing we can factor in for David's expense was the fact he had to spend time finding the stones. Goliath on the other hand was known as unbeatable and he spent years building up this rep. He also spent thousands of his country's money to arm and protect himself. We all know the outcome of this underdog story, but have we explored it as a metaphore for what is happening between America and this war on terror ? America the once under dog country now has grown into a Goliath. It's exploits are lengedary. Like Goliath America has spent large sums of money on it's weapons and it's protection. America is now poised on the battlefield

Image via Wikipedia What's sacred to you/ Today we trample sacred/ In name of progress/ We all need to find what is sacred to us. Society seems to have diminished the importance of the sacred. The sacred forms the foundation of our lives and needs to be embraced by us. These sacred things that we have in our life whether they are people, ideas, and/or etc.,help us maintain our personal path. Modern progress has stripped the sacred from us, and has left everything the same. When we set something up as sacred we separate it from the normal world. We appreciate the mystery of the person, obj ect, or idea. This mystery is the source of the power of the sacred, but now we confuse ignorance with mystery. When we are ignorant of something we just don't know, and may not want to take the time to learn. When something is a mystery we know about it, but we know that there is something always deeper. So we respectfully seek out the hidden knowledge learning that we may never know

Let's stop standing in our own way. Take some time today to search your heart, and ask yourself the questions that will lead you to the ways that you are blocking your blessings. Let's Search out our personal foolishness, and get out the way and let that creative force move through us and for us. I can not help but stress the importance of monitoring our thoughts. Those that are on the Journey of SelfMastery need to begin to track where our minds go(thought diary). This is the major block, I will even say the main foolishness that stops the flow of blessings in our lives. So get your mind right, and get the "Fuck out of the way".

Image via Wikipedia We learn by questions/ Questions light fire of mind / that burns to the Truth/ Ha2ku by ha2tim When did we stop asking questions? I have noticed that during my SelfMastery coaching sessions that I don't get a lot of questions. I have also noticed a drop in questions in some of the lectures that I attend as well. What happened to that desire to know more than was revealed. Have we surrendered to our training and now just except what we are told? I remember when I was younger, I use to get in trouble and embarrassed for asking questions. I was made to feel stupid for asking, but I did not care and still asked questions. Questions are what we use to sharpen our minds. In junior high I learned about basic questions that I feel some of us need to dust off and begin to use again: Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How. While talking to myself, as I was writing this blog, my Grand Father over heard what my subject was and he stated, " we stopped asking

Image via Wikipedia Seperation from/ Initiation into/ Transformation now/ I was thinking about the term rites of passage and I have come to the conclusion that the title is wrong for the work that I am doing. Rites of Passage is a term that was developed from a world view that was shaped through anthropology. this is a science that strives to look at human activity from an outside perspective. when I look at something from an objective view I can never truly get out of the process what is meant. truly when we look at what people were doing in this process we have mislabeled as ROP we see that they were transmitting information that promoted the growth of the society that it came from. so we have a process that is involved with two things. first I am introducing you to the roles and responsibilities of the new position you would be taking in the society. on the deeper level I was introducing you to a new part of yourself that was unknonw to you.

Image via Wikipedia it has been one of those days where i had to make major decision but fear moved in and i froze. I was faced with a situation where i was teaching but the people I was spending time and money on were not receptive. i was left with a decision to either continue throwing "pearls to swine", or leave and continue seeking people with who I could share. Today I chose the latter. For years I have been put, or better yet allowed myself to be put into a situation where I would be forced to try to get "blood from a turnip". In other words teach people who don't want what I have to offer. Many of the young people that I work with are at a point where they have to be introduced to spirituality outside of their familiar surroundings. unfortunately the group that i was working with were locked up. They cant even leave the pods they are in, so I find that the majority are not receptive to much of anything. The minority that are willing to learn a

Image via Wikipedia What do you expect?/ That is what you will recieve/ Look for what you want/ What are you looking for in this life? The sad truth is that we usually find what it is we seek. Although this could be viewed negatively, through the lens of our training in this life. When we view this fact From another angle we empower ourselves. If it is true that we find what look for ,and the world gives us what we expect then be bold, and look for what it is you want in life. Expect the best. Expect to be treated as royalty, and expect to succeed. I know some of you skeptics are reading this and stating that that is not realistic, but I am issueing a challenge. I am betting that this view of the world is as real as yours. I have personally seen in my experiences as a coach that many of the people that have a realistic view of the world get exactly what they expect. A big "nothing", the expect disappointment and get it, the expect saddness and get it, they expect lie
