How to Fix A Broken Clock

Almost a month ago, I decided that it was time to start blogging again. I only blog if I feel like there’s a topic that I am passionate about and that resonates with me to the point where I just “have to” to talk about it.

Right now, the hot topic for me is “love”. Over the past few weeks I’ve talked about the Twin Flame Journey and all week I’ve been pondering about what I wanted to talk about. Then “BOOM”, the song “Self Destruction” played over the radio. “Self Destruction” was a song created in 1987 by a few hip hop artists (i.e. Boogie Down Productions, Stetsasonic, MC Lyte, Kool Moe Dee, Doug E. Fresh, Just Ice, Heavy D, and Public Enemy). The collaboration was produced in the hopes of encouraging the hip hop community to end violence being committed amongst themselves.

Over the past few decades, this legendary song is often dug out the crates of many urban radio networks music catalogs to commemorate Black History month. However sadly in 2019, violence is not just a concern within urban communities but, it’s a concern throughout the entire United States and the rest of the world.

Somedays to me, it does feel like the world is going to self-destruct. National violence, global threats, a volatile economy, politics, corruption, racism, sexism, harassment etc…are all additional accelerants towards global self destruction.

Hearing the song “Self Destruction” just made me think about how backwards the world is going. Where I feel like somewhere over the past two decades, to be exact, the day the 45th President of the U.S. took office, that the global clock just stopped and the world as we know it stopped moving forward.

Ladies and gentlemen, we’re living in a world and time when so much love is needed to heal the wounds of this world. Unfortunately, amongst us are individuals who were never shown love and as a result do not know what love is nor know how to love others. Therefore, in an effort to change the battery of the global clock that we all live by, I challenge all within eyes reach to love. Love yourself first and then love others especially, those that are different from you. Don’t just love superficially where you’re going through the motions but, love with all of your might; to the point where your love becomes infectious.

The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins

The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins.  This is a highly recommended book that can transform your life!  How would like to improve your daily productivity by simply counting backwards saying “5, 4, 3, 2, 1” and then taking action?  Mel uses her own personal experiences and the testimonies of the many people that have used the 5 Second Rule to transform themselves.  “Real talk” testimonies that will resonate with you and thwart you into taking action ASAP!  It’s like the Honey Combs commercials from back in the day, where a mom / dad puts a bowl of foreign looking / tasting cereal in front of their son named Mikey and the whole family stands around waiting to see if he likes it or not…well guess what?  He LIKED it!  That is exactly how the “5,4,3,2,1” rule makes you feel after trying it and you see that it works.  You don’t just like it, you LOVE it!  You will love how you feel and your brain is going  to act like it’s on steroids and will tell you to “feed me” more!  I know  I might be saying and doing to much with this review but, this book has primed my pump and I feel like a person that has just been given the winning numbers for the Mega Millions lottery.  Ha!

Let me get grounded again. You’re probably asking how did I find out about this AWESOME book?  Well, I stumbled upon this book title on www.audible.com. I love listening to audio books.  After viewing that this book had close to a 5 star rating, read what it was about. I had a strong feeling that this book would change my life forever.

I feel that you must meet a few conditions before diving into this book.  Mel @melrobbins, keep me honest and let me know if I left anything out.  I so, hope that you get to read my blog entry. For The 5 second rule to work for you, you have to be willing to invest in yourself, take a risk by committing to do something different, and then following through.  That’s it! Just a couple of things to improve your life forever!  The return on your investment will be the best money and time you’ve ever spent on yourself.  I promise!

Gotta go!  Anxious to getting back to listening to The 5 Second Rule  for a second time…Bye!
