The power of your mind and how to utilize it…

What’s up NewGen family! I hope y’all are having a great weekend so far and that you had fun this holiday. Today I want to come to y’all with a thinker today. This upcoming week I’ll be dropping more gems on different ways and different methods on how to run your online business, but today is going to more of a personal message I would like to share to you, because I have a strong feeling someone needs to see this. So without further a due, let’s go ahead and begin…

 

Since the beginning of time when God created the earth and created men & women, we were given one power tool that literally controls our entire body. That is your brain. Fast forward thousands of years later and we are at a time to where we still don’t know how to fully utilize the power of our brain. Scientist say that we as humans use only 10% of our brain power, but in all honesty I think that the average person doesn’t even use 3-5% of their brain.

People we need to realize the weapon our skulls are protecting. Think about it for one second, a person’s thought is why we have buildings, why we have the internet, why we have automobiles, etc… The power of a thought can go deeper than we can actually comprehend. However, we live in a society that tries to control the way you think. Everything down to what you wear, how you talk, what president you should vote for, and many more things. Your mental connects to your physical so what ever you mentally think of yourself, you will physically act out. This is why it’s important to realize and take caution to the things you allow to come inside of your mind.

Let me tell you how powerful your mind is. The fact that you can physically lock somebody up, take away their freedom and by the time it’s time for them to come out they’re either more at peace with themselves or seem more lively and want to change their life (I’m not saying that’s the case all the time but hear me out). Why is that? Well lets go a bit deeper. I was reading some info about the Willy Lynch letter: The making of a slave by Dr.Kwabena Ashanti and what I was reading was about how the plantation owners couldn’t get their slaves to pretty much behave and/or do what owner said. It came to a point where they would have to bring in Willy Lynch (a plantation owner himself) to show them they ways of how to control their slave, increase labor and make more profits.

One of the key points the letter was talking about was how to break the slave mentally in order to not only control them physically, but to only trust them (the plantation owner) and not their own. Now you’re probably thinking, “why in the hell is he bringing this up?” well the whole gist of the point is this. That your brain is so powerful that in order for someone to control you physically, they would first have to get to you mentally. Your body can be locked up, but one thing they can never take is your mind and once you’ve realized that you’ve reached a dangerous level of freedom.

Your thoughts have power as well. A shit ton of power to be exact and that can be a good or a bad thing. You can literally think yourself into sickness. Depression, a mental disease. Key word “Mental”, you see what ends up happening is that you dwell on a traumatic event so deeply that you implant those negative thoughts which manifest into energies that damn near take you out in your nerve system and your nerves are what actually sends waves to your brain which controls your body which now starts manifesting physically. You can literally think yourself to death. Sounds crazy I know.

So how do you actually start utilizing your brain correctly? Well for one you can start by getting rid of all drama, gossip, news, etc… anything that is bringing negativity into your life. Did you know that 95% of our thoughts ain’t even our thoughts? The majority of what we think about stems from other shit we either see on social media, see on the news, or heard from a family, co-worker, friends, etc… so the first step is to filter all of the bs. The next step is actually feed your brain with things that will actually help you grow. When you first wake up in the morning the first 20 minutes, your brain is at it’s most vulnerable state. Meaning whatever you take in the first 20 minutes will greatly effect how your day is going to play out. So stay away from your phone, don’t turn on the tv and watch the news, instead read your word, listen to motivational tapes, hell even music will be a better alternative. Anything to get the positive juices flowing in your minds most vulnerable state.

Also, your brain needs to rest. Start by doing meditation in your daily routine, at least 10-15 minutes when your first starting off. What happens to your brain is that when you meditate you actually allow your brain to rest. Did you know that even when you’re still asleep your mind is still active? Now imagine your brain gets no rest and constantly gets fed negativity every single day… It’s a lot of f***king work for the mind. Here’s a key tip, when you’re meditating, don’t focus on getting rid of your thoughts. Allow your mind to focus on one thing specifically. Whether it be your breathing, the sound of water (me personally I meditate to the sounds of a fan) and focus on that for the duration of the time. In the beginning will be a challenge, but you’ll get better at it the more you do it.

Lastly, start giving yourself things to do and accomplish. Set goals, create strategies and follow your path. Give your brain something to actually do and watch how productive you will become. Look life isn’t fair and there’s many cards we get dealt with that’s out of our control and not in our favor. However, if we can control the way we think and start putting energy into things we can control and we can fix, we’ll start seeing great improvements over time in our lives and hey some of y’all may be in a situation of higher greatness just because of it. That’s all I wanted to share with y’all today. Take care.

Are people sleeping on you? Hear me out…

What’s up NewGen family? Today I’m going on a motivational rant today because, I’ve been thinking lately and this needs to be said. So, if you’re going through your journey right now and you feel like nobody is watching or nobody truthfully cares about what you’re doing, let me tell you something… GET THE F*** OVER IT! I mean this in the most non-attacking way ever, but we gotta understand something. People will purposely look over your greatness for multiple reasons, but will still keep a close eye on everything you do.
For me a prime example, I post on social medias about my blog post/business tips and not many people read them. I post some of my clothing line and stylist fits and not many people pay it no mind. I drop gems about different topics and not many people even bat an eye towards my way, especially when its major truth bombs. Now it might sound like I’m complaining, but really I’m in a way glad I’m slept on and here’s why. Have y’all ever heard the saying “It’s not about where I’ve been, but where I’m going.”? You see I came to a point to where my destinations in the future are so BIG that I don’t even bat an eye when I only get 1 like on a post or whatever. I’ve came to a point where I’ve stopped caring about if people are watching or not and THAT’S a dangerous level of freedom.
The crazy part about this though is that even though I don’t get much engagement on my stuff, HELLA people watch everything I post. Why is that? You would think if you don’t engage in someone’s content, you wouldn’t even watch it. Right? Wrong. Let me tell y’all something. The reason why people are watching you, but not really supporting you vis-a-vii sleeping on you is because, they see your potential and they’re watching real close so WHEN you blow up, they’ll be the first ones tapping your phone talking bout, “Congrats I knew you would make it!” or some, “Hey how are you I see you doing your thing…” shut the f**** up.
Another reason why people are sleeping your potential, and a lot of people don’t understand so I’m going to be extremely blunt on this next reason so pay attention real quick. Another reason why people are sleeping on you is because, it’s YOU! Because you are who you are contributes to the reason why people aren’t giving much of two shits on what you’re doing. Think about it, there’s someone out there who came from the same place you came from. Grew up the same way you grew up. Hanged around the same people you hung around, yet you’re the one going up in life. A lot of people can’t handle that fact so that’s why they make sure they don’t contribute to anything that puts you towards the path of success. That’s just how it is.
Now I’m not gonna lie, sometimes it is disappointing when you’ve put a lot of work into your passion whether it be your music, business, fashion, etc… and you’re so excited about it and you’re twice as excited to show people and the response if any is extremely underwhelming. Trust me it does hurt sometime, however you need to understand that when you keep going and you keep investing inside that passion that one day it will pay off. Remember we live in the age of social media (still in the beginning ages) all it takes is 1 business, 1 design, 1 song, it just takes 1 to take off and BOOM all of your work that you’ve been putting in will pay off and the people who were watching, but not supporting it’ll be a salty day for them. It could take months, years, etc… doesn’t matter. You have to be able to put in the work in private (even when you’re not getting credit for it now) so you can be rewarded in public.
Now I will say one thing and this might hurt a few people’s egos, but I want to be upfront and blunt as possible that way we all have an understanding. People have their own lives to look after and truth be told no one’s day is going to ever start like “I wonder how so and so is doing on their journey” truth be told most people don’t give a motherf**** about what you got going on and that’s just real. The world DOES NOT revolve around you and how you wish people gave your work attention truth be told, people don’t care until AFTER you make it. That’s just how most humans function. You may have 2-3 people truly be interested in what you got going on, but most people will not give a damn. ONCE you’ve understand that, the amount of freedom you have becomes unreal.

Make sure what ever it is that you’re doing, that you’re doing it because you genuinely love the thing that you’re investing your time into. I love giving game about business tips, fashion, music, etc… If you don’t do what you love for the free or when no one is looking right now then when people sleep on your vision you will fold it’s just what it is. With that being said NewGen family, if you’re reading this right now it’s because you feel like you’ve been slept on and you might be on the verge of just saying, “F*** everything” but, I’m here to tell you to keep pushing and hit the gas on they ass. At the end and when it’s all said and done, people WILL regret not giving you the time of day and supporting when you were grinding and now that you’re out of reach, even if they don’t outwardly say it, it’ll screw with them on the inside. With that being said NewGen family I hope you have a great day today and tackle any obstacles in your way. You’re almost there! Take care.

How to make sure you don’t miss the opportunities that are given to you…

What’s up Newgen family! Yeah I know, it’s been a while. I’ve been in a temporary hiatus and I have some explaining to do as of my where abouts have been. You I’ve been going through many transitions of my life these past few months, everything from moving into a new place, from me pulling a Steve Harvey and leaving my job when I thought I had a plan in place, but when things don’t all the way in order you have to make adjustments and make it work. Never the less i’m back and back with a hunger to give you what I felt the beginning of this year and that’s educate, motivate, and inspire. Prepared to see more of me and content on this page as I myself am still going on this journey. So without anymore waiting let’s go ahead and get into today’s topic.

 

Opportunities…

Now we live in a world where we are born with a lot of advantages and disadvantages at the same damn time. Some of us where born in lower class homes, some with broken neighborhoods, broken families, etc… For the most part we are born with the odds of life stacked against us. However, how our life plays out is all determined by our choices and what decisions we make. With that being said we have these things in our life and they come seldom and few, called opportunitites. Now I don’t have to go into the definition of what opportunites are(if you’re really that damn slow just ask google)but some people don’t understand the seriousness of utilizing the ones we are given.

Maybe there’s a business you want to start right now, maybe there’s a woman/man that you want to pursue at the place you always see them, maybe your boss offered you a leadership position that is so good you can’t even pass up. What ever it is, just know with most given opportunities there’s a time gap, a window when you can enter. However, that window will close. Now let me ask y’all a question. How many people here have an opportunity that just opened for you, but you feel like is something you back from achieving that decision that could change your life? If this is you now, I definitely want you to pay attention to next part because this will be the most important paragraph you will ever read in your life, mark my words.

Do not and I repeat DO NOT, let your family, friends, your inner doubt, etc… Stop you from taking an opportuntiy that can potentially change your life for the better. If you’ve prayed over it and that strong feeling inside of yourself(your intuition)is pushing you towards it, take it and I repeat TAKE IT! You see the funny thing about the opportunities is that each one is different and each one will require a version of you. You also need to take in account as well that the timing is different for each one. Some opportunities, the window can be weeks, months, hell it can even be open for a couple of years. Then they’re others that are on the spot and require a decision right there and right now and if you miss it, you’ll most likely never see that same chance again. Trust me, I can speak from first experience…

Now those are just the opportunities that are given, let me go ahead and go into the part when you have to create your own. This is what seperates the victims and the victors. You see life will only hand you a handful of opportunities, but overall life will consistantly beat the living shit out of you you. However, God gave us the best gift of our life and that’s free will. You see if you were dealt with a shit hand of cards, that’s fine. How you play them will determine if you win or lose. Remember if you’re born poor that’s by chance, but if you die poor that’s by choice. What the 97% tend to do a lot is wait for an opportunity to just come and wait until it’s staring them dead in their face.

“Oh I’ll start my business when the kids are out the house”, “I’ll approach that person tomorrow even though they’re alone right now”, “I don’t think I’m ready to take that position so I’ll wait until i’m more seasoned”. Different excuses, loss chances. If you’re reading this far that means you’re apart of the 3% that takes the tools they were given and build their own opportunites. People let trival things stop them from a life changing experiences that could poteinally take them to the next level in life. Excuses are the kryptonite to opportunitity. While you’re in the position you’re in right now, you need to quit bullshitting your self and tackle this like defensive lineman. Because the plane doesn’t land when it just takes off.

 

So how to make sure you don’t miss out on your blessing?

For one, pray. If you geniually believe that this is the opportunity you should take then God will provide a path for you to go all you gotta do is just say yes to it. Two, make sure that you don’t over think it, because too much thinking on a opportunity can actually cause you to change your mind and that could cause you to miss out big time on something that could had got you going. You don’t want to be that person on their deathbed regretting all the things they could have done, but let the opportunities slip passed them. So know what you want out of life and when the opportunities pop up, attack them full force and don’t hold back. I pray that this helps someone push through a wall they thought was stopping them… Take care Newgen family!

 

 

You become what you think… Fact or fiction?

Hey Newgen family and welcome to all new comers into this blog channel! I know i’ve been out for some weeks, been doing some moving, working on building some extra resources up and getting a lot together as the summer gets ready to end soon. With that being said I have a lot of great things coming for the fall not only for this channel, but in every business venture I have so be on the look out. Now without furthur adue let’s begin!

 

Let me ask you something right now. What do you think of yourself? If you have to give a presentation of what you are, what would you say about yourself? Are you happy with your current situation whether you’re poor, financially stable or wealthy? Take a second and truly reflect off these questions. What’s your answer? comment below in the post comments.

So my people lend me your ears for a second. Your brain is literally the most power tool you were born with. Everything you seen around you right all started from a mere thought inside your cranium. With that being said you should also know that humans are the ONLY life forms that can shape our own reality. Animals, mammals, insects, etc… Live off instincts alone, so where ever they were born at that’s more than likely where their life will span out at.

Pay attention what I just said, we humans have the power to change our reality and how does that start… With a simple thought. Here is a hard truth that a lot of people don’t seem to want to grasp, because we’ve grown in a society where it’s okay to be a victim and want hand outs with “Equal” opportunites. YOU BECOME WHAT YOU THINK. This is something you must understand and realize now. If you think you’re a amazing, healthy, wealthy, loving and caring person, that will start attracting to you. If you think you’re a worthless, sad, non loved, ugly individual, that’s what will attract to you.

Some people love to argue me on this, but don’t even realize the actual proof behind this. When you talk to someone who has a negative outlook on life ask them what do they think of themselves. Do they speak highly of themselves or tear themselves down with a lot of insecurities? Do they use words like, “I can’t” or “It isn’t possible” or even my favorite ” I don’t”? You know those are the types of people who see the glass as half empty instead of half full. Another thing about your brain is that when you think about a certain thought long enough, your brain starts manifesting those thoughts and starts creating a reality based off of those thoughts.

Then we start putting words and belief behind those thoughts now you’ve just created a alternate reality of what you are currently on now whether that is a good thing or bad. Because remember there’s life and death in the power of the tounge. That’s why people are a constantly speaking about death and manifesting thoughts about it usually end up dying earlier than expected or in some cases out of no where. What’s even crazier is that most people are creating realities sub-consiously and not even know it. You see if you’re going to trick your brain into creating realities at least do it for the positive. Speak wealth, health, love, contentness over yourself and manifest in those thoughts/feelings and watch how your life starts making turnarounds.

You must understand that life is 90% of what you can control and 10% of what you can’t control and the sad part is the 97% soulfully focuses on the 10% they can’t control instead of the 90% that can make a big difference. People you gotta understand that in life shit will happen that will be out of our power. Most likely you didn’t do anything to deseverve it and it will diffenitely be an inconvience. That’s just life family and there’s nothing that we can do about it so you have to learn how to let it go and keeping as much energy out of that situation. Think about it like this, pick up a glass of water and hold it. After 5 minutes you still feel fine, after 3 hours your arm starts hurting like hell and the glass feels heavier, after 24 hours your arm will be paraliyzed. Moral of the story, either drink the f*cking water or put the cup down either way do something with the drink and move on! You have choices in life so choose to not stress over things you can’t control.

 

So how do you improve you mind/thought proccess?

Simple, start by changing what comes out of your mouth. Start saying, “I can” “I will” “I’m happy” “I’m joyful” “I can do great things”. Even if you don’t believe it at first, just keep speaking over yourself until your brain locks it in and starts sending out energy that’ll come back to you. Let go of any thoughts that are haunting you (whether real or not) and move forwad. There’s a quote that sticks to me and it says, “If you drive towards your future looking at your past through your rear view mirror… You’re going to crash.” Everyone has a story, we’ve all made mistakes and done our dirt, but don’t let the rough upbringing, downbring your present.

Your future is ahead of you so whether you believe it’s true that you become what you think is true or not is not relevant at this point. The real question is that with the position you’re in right now what are you going to do to bring yourself to your next level? I’ve never seen someone with a poor mindset make more than what they think they’re worth. You are in control of your life and only you have the keys to change your reality. Your starting line might had been rough, doesn’t mean your finish line has to be the same… YOU BECOME WHAT YOU THINK.

How to start making money when you’re broke…

So in the past couple weeks I’ve seen soo much complaining from people. “I hate my damn job!”, “I can’t make any real money” or even “I wish somebody would give me money”. It’s like people now a days are scared to put in some work and everybody wants the easy way to acheieve wealth, but there’s a saying. “Everybody wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die.” If you want to achieve financial freedom, you have to put in work for a period of time in order to set yourself ahead. So today, this is going to be more of an advice blog of how you can start building your money up even if you’re broke. Now if you’re at rock bottom in terms of finances there is good news for you… You can only go up from this point.

 

Step 1: Get a job

When you have no money, but want to start a business the smart thing to do is to get you a source of active income to take care of your bills and needs first. Now some people will see this and be like “Well I can’t get a job because–” save the excuses. I don’t care if you even gotta flip burgers at Mcdonalds, get yourself a job. Doesn’t matter the circumstances. Keep in mind, someone in your same exact situation has lived and conqured the obsticals you’re currently going through right now.

Stack up some money for a couple of months, me personally I say around 3-6 months to give you a decent amount. During that time you should be studying ways to invest in a secondary income to suppliment with your current income. Now during this phase you’re going to make a lot of sacrifices in this time. You’re going to have to push yourself because, this will be one of the periods that will test you the hardest. Now remember, a job is only temporary, you were not ment to stay there forever. Unfortantely a lot of people get comfortable in this step and never end up leveling up. Don’t be that person.

 

Step 2: Invest in a side/passive income

Now this is your second phase for leveling up when coming out of rock bottom financially. At this point you’ve stacked up some cash and you’ve done research on different passive income opportunities such as affiliate marketing, e-com, social media marketing, etc… If you don’t know what either of these things are I’ll give you a mini overall example of what each one is.

So affiliate marketing is pretty much you advertise an already established brand, product or service. You connect the brand/service/product and the consumer together and if the consumer buys said product/service/etc… Then you get a commission. With E-com you’re creating a store, customers buy products and you’ll utilize their money to buy the product from it’s supplier and you keep the profits. So say if I charge a phone case for $29.99 but it only cost $2 to make, well that means I keep $27.99 profit per case sold. Social media marketing is pretty much running ads and managing social media accounts for businesses and companies. For more info click these other blog post I made discussing each topic.

–Affiliate marketing

-E-commerce

 

Now there’s actually thousands more ways to make more money online, but today we’re going to focus on the heavy hitters. Now of course you’re going to have to put in some extra time to do these, but each of these things I listed here have the power to take you out the dreaded 9-5 you always complain about and actually but you in financial freedom. Invest an hour a day in making sure you’re learning how to market as well, because if you can master marketing, you’ll never be broke, period.

 

Final step/conclusion: Stay focused

This is very crucial because, during your journey you’re going to be hit with many distraction and setbacks and it can definitely throw off your focus and make you want to give up. Hold yourself responsible and negate all excuses. Make the best of what you have, start small and grow from there. Look at all the successful people you seen around you, ones that made it or still going. We all gotta start from somewhere so don’t be ashamed when you see someone else living a little bit better than you. Remember competition is the thef of joy, so stay in your lane and remain focus.
