As a lion, you eat what you kill in the jungle! A lion has no medical benefits, holidays or pension plans, a full time predator – 24/7. Simply, if it doesn’t catch it’s prey, it doesn’t eat. A lion instinctively understands very young that he has to master his attack, as power alone is not [...]
The best diet on earth is the Raw Living Food diet which was created for humans. As usual, man’s god complex instructed him to improve upon the divine order of nature and add some fire to the process. For the record I’m a guilty participant. From the womb I’ve been eating cooked and processed foods. [...]
Whenever I find myself off balance, I have to go back to my fundamentals- jazz and books. Reading was strongly emphasized by my elders as a youth; I wasn’t ready to receive this knowledge until years later. As embarrassing as it sounds today, I never read a book for leisure until my senior year of high school. after reading The Autobiography of Malcolm X by Alex Haley, I began to religiously cheat on my first love – music.
Over the years, I developed the habit of reading 1 hour daily for education or leisure. Through the power of words I have journeyed to exotic places I have never physically visited. I had the luxury to be taught in a one-on-one class by some of the greatest minds ever to exist: Imhotep, Socrates, Sun Tzu, machivelli, The Dogon, Henry Hazlitt… In addition, I witnessed first hand the numerous abominations committed upon the oppressed and voiceless people all over the world.
Visualization exercise
Often people attempt to achieve goals without having a specific plan of attack. For example, if you catch a taxi it would be impossible to reach your destination without sharing the city and street. As detailed as you are giving directions to others, you have to be as thorough with yourself. Before you design your ideal life, increase your effectiveness by first visualizing your ideal day.
The power of writing our goals and dreams helps manifest them into reality expeditiously. Here’s a productive visualization exercise, I call “24″
Captain America forgot his theme music.
Why did Aretha Franklin sing before President Obama was sworn in?
Why does every gym blast music during your workout?
Why does every sporting event begin with the Star Spangled Banner?
Why are Ipod’s addictive?
Why do Superheroes have theme music?
Because… MUSIC INSPIRES!
To increase productivity, creativity and health immediately, find your theme music. It is scientifically impossible for Batman to defeat his nemesis, the Joker, the Riddler or the Sandman without music. If Superman, Spiderman and the Transformers all have theme music, why not you!

Let me shout this in cyber language, YOUR MOST VALUABLE ASSET IS TIME.
As stated by icon motivator/author Brian Tracey
“Time is like money. It can be either spent or invested. If you spend time or money, it’s gone forever. But if you invest your time or money wisely, you will get a greater return in the future.”
So, I ask what is your time worth?
Personally, time had a different value at various stages. In my youth I believed my time was an infinite resource. As I began to reflect on time spent not invested, I realized I was getting a negative ROI (return on my investment). So, I began to overstand time optimization benefits like a Fortune 500 CEO – how can I increase my profits (TIME) exponentially? To accomplish this I had to recreate my reality immediately. I have never subscribed to postponing actions until the earth’s complete rotation around the sun.
