Confidence is crucial. Yet more than eighty percent of us lack it. The majority of us suffer from low self-esteem. Still, many of us claim to be confident. But for fear of failure, we don't do things we enjoy. That’s because we usually follow society's script, and we compare ourselves to others. All the while, we're blinded to our unique blessing.

Despite our countless flashy images on our social media pages and the stuff we buy, we lack confidence. Of course, our childhood experiences definitely play a role in it by leaving many of us with a lasting negative self-image. We feel inadequate, so we constantly criticize ourselves.

We waste our time trying to fit in by imitating those around us. True confidence isn’t something you can buy, wear, or receive from others; it’s within us but frequently goes unexpressed. What we're presenting is an illusion that shapes our personality and limits personal growth.

With confidence, we realize both our failures and successes. Confidence removes us from a self-imposed lower caste; no longer do we talk negatively about ourselves.

True confidence comes from accepting ourselves as we are. are, without the need to conform to societal norms. It's self-love; self-esteem. We eliminate our inner conflicts. We grow, become free, and appreciate our uniqueness.

We can only be that which we are. Never anything else. So live in the present, engage fully in everything you do without being distracted by past regrets or future concerns. Finally, trust yourself instead of seeking validation. Let go of the fear of failure. Stop performing; starting practicing.

It’s never too late to grow. Live authentically. Be confident. "Accept Your Own and Be Yourself."

What do you do when there are rocks on your path? We all face obstacles in various ways. While some of us repress them, others express them. Some overreact; others ignore them. Then some self-medicate or distract themselves. But a few people remove the obstacle.

What's an obstacle? A chronic illness, jobs, money issues, legal issues, relationship issues, housing, unresolved emotional challenges, anger, or anxiety. Obstacles block the way to getting what we want. And while we usually notice physical obstacles, we rarely consider the mental ones. Yet, the way we think is the hurdle.

Obstacles are a part of life. Instead of trying to avoid them, we should understand that without these challenges, we wouldn’t really grow or reach our full potential. They push us to leave certain situations. And in many ways grow up.

How do we tackle these obstacles? First, we need to recognize they’re there. Then reflect on how you think! Do we let obstacles take control of our lives? Only by confronting our obstacles, removing the roadblocks, do we really transform.

Instead of resisting obstacles, be aware of them. Do not make them your reality. Ask yourself, what practices, such as meditation and mindfulness, do you follow? Next, in removing your obstacles, what principles do you follow, such as truth, harmony, balance, morality, and justice? Do you follow the principle of doing no harm to yourself or others? Ultimately, all obstacles are within us. Learn from them. Move forward---transform your life.

Are you happy? Have you ever thought about your happiness? Probably not. But a recent survey found that less than half of Americans feel satisfied with their lives. That means there is a lot of unhappiness around us. Being unhappy can make you sick.

Recently, I heard someone talking about a family member who has a chronic illness. From what he was saying, it seemed like this relative, who’s living in a nursing home, didn’t really want to change their way of life. Now, some might think it’s an illness that's causing the problem. But I couldn’t help but wonder if maybe this person was unhappy.

Many of us may be unhappy without even realizing it. We rarely take the time to think about our happiness. Yet, it is connected to our health and wellness. Happiness strengthens our immune system, helps us bounce back from tough times quicker, and makes it easier to handle stress. It even affects how long we live.

And so we might want to think about it. Pleasure is not happiness. It comes from things outside of us. It's temporary and also addictive. Still, many people live under the illusion that pleasure is happiness. As a result, they often end up disillusioned, feeling let down, and regretful.

Think about your life: the gadgets you own, the relationships you've had, and the places you've visited. Are you in a job you dislike? Do you feel sad? Are you stuck in situations that no longer help you? No matter what has happened or what you're facing, it's time to take back your happiness.

With real happiness, we understand life, and we find joy within ourselves. Our health depends on happiness. So, take some time to meditate, practice mindfulness, and become happy.

We often overlook how experiences, dating back hundreds of years. But they impact us! We think what didn't happen to us directly doesn't affect us. But it does. Our clan experiences are stored in our nervous system—a system that handles everything that we go through, whether we’re being beaten or wrapped in love—it remembers all of it.

Due to our experiences, many of us are simply going about our lives with an overactive nervous system.

Within us are stories and experiences of people that go back more than four hundred years. Those experiences impact not just our minds but our bodies too. And so, the choices we make, the people we marry or connect with, how we think, and even how we look—none of it is random. Did you know that most people tend to remarry someone similar to the person they divorced?

What we hear, see, and exist around shapes our views of beauty, ugliness, success, failure, and power. That's why, over time, we end up looking like a cartoon version of someone else. This speaks to a mental struggle where we don't like ourselves. And why is that? We're ignoring our experiences.

Nowadays, this experience might be called post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). But what if it’s not post, but continuous? What if it's about deeply rooted trauma that still lingers? Because we never received the right care to heal?

Every experience counts. Everything we do, or don’t do, is tied to our experiences. Make your healing a priority. Take care of your nervous system and aim to break free from all the pain and limits. Consider a practices that unblocks your energy, offset your experiences and bring your mind, body, and spirit together.

From our earliest memories, there's this thrill we get from being right. It feels great when everyone notices we ace a test with a score of 100. Eventually, we're eager to get everything right and always aim for the perfect answer. But then some also start jumping in to correct others. Others may hold back from doing anything if we’re not sure we’ll nail it. But what does it all really mean?

What we don't know is that this rightness is an ego pitfall shaped by our community, especially the school. We get tricked into thinking that if we don't have the right answer, then something is wrong with us. So, we become obsessed with being right, which just leads to insecurity, arguments, emotional stiffness, unhappiness, and stirs up a lot of chaos. So many children grow up into adults stuck on needing to be right out of fear of appearing stupid. Stop wasting your energy.

Instead of getting hung up on being right, let’s focus on being aware. When we do, we find ourselves naturally doing the right thing. With awareness, we relax. Enjoy your life--know who we are.

What if we directed our energy into solving the problems we see? What if we created, instead of just complaining? Take a moment to think about your daily conversations. It's easy to complain and be bitter about the weather, people, work, relationships....

No matter what we do, we're using energy. The real question is: are we wasting that energy on the problem, or actually working to fix it? There's that saying that when we focus on the problem, we keep it alive. So we can either dwell on what's wrong or see the possibility. We can gripe or create. Are we correcting, creating, or complaining?

Complaining actually weakens our brains. It's harmful to our overall mental health. Just as our bodies do not thrive on processed junk foods, our brains do not thrive on negativity. Every time we dwell on what's wrong, we boost cortisol levels, damage our thinking skills, shrink our brain size, and struggle with memory and problem-solving. To take care of our brains, embrace positivity, show gratitude, and tap into your creativity. Today, be mindful. Be a part of the solution!

Let Go...

We’re still in the energy of the Full Moon--- a time for emotional healing and renewal. The moon is asking us to let go of what no longer serves us. If we're to grow, to be well, we have to let go of what holds us back. That means releasing fear, competition, judgments, conflicting opinions, indecision, worries, ego, mistakes, shame, memories, anxiety, planning, and calculations...

Most of us are holding on tight to thoughts and ideas that are making us sick. Why? Because our minds are stuck in conflict, we're thriving on the drama. But imagine a life without the drama, competition, and endless struggle. Imagine letting go of what others might think or the need to be right. Imagine not saying you're going to let go; you just do. It's then that we unshackle ourselves.

And so, just like a brown, yellow, orange, or red leaf falling from a tree, we let go without any struggle. We soften our faces under the light of the Full Moon. That's being free---just letting go. Experience Àse Yoga, where every breath counts.

April's Full Moon will be shining bright at 10:12 pm. Known as the Pink Moon, it’s a time for powerful rebirth, renewal, and growth, marking the first full moon of spring. Most of us will ignore it; our heads will be bent looking at our cell phones rather than lifted towards the night sky.

Still, this moon will take us from winter’s darkness into the light, making it a great moment to take action on your intentions, gain emotional clarity, and cleanse.

So, what does this mean for you? Ask yourself what emotions are we battling? With the energy of the Full Moon, let go of what doesn’t serve us. Tune into your intuition. Welcome transformation.

Be mindful of where you put your focus. So much of what we celebrate is superficial; the Full Moon is real, its nature. It's time for deep reflection and inner healing. By using this divine feminine energy, we gain a deeper understanding. Consider this...

-Spending some time outside under the full moon. Take a moon bath. Allow the moonlight to fill you. Notice how alive and energized you feel.

-With your moon bath, be creative; draw or write about your experience in the moon bath. What are you feeling? What ideas are coming to you?

-Be “I am grateful for.” Write three things you're grateful for—no matter how big or small.

Make a promise to yourself to be mindful of your intention and express Àse.

Grand Rising,

Today is National Take Responsibility Day! Instead of blaming others for how we feel or what's going on in our lives, we should really look at ourselves. It's easy to blame—children blame their friends, adults blame their parents, couples blame one another, and loads of people point fingers at the government for their unhappiness. We even blame our food, yet we eat it. But really, does blaming anyone actually make things better? We just become victims. Blaming keeps anger and frustration going. The bottom line is we're in control of our own lives.

So, what does it mean to embrace responsibility? "Response-ability" is the power to respond to the present moment with full awareness. No longer do we react out of habit or obligation. We fully own our lives, our feelings, and our actions. We are responsible for who we are.

Right now, take charge of your life—be responsible. When you do, it feels incredibly freeing and ignites a real transformation. Remember, no one else can carry that responsibility for you. Of course, it's easy for our minds to shift blame onto others. But become mindful. Take responsibility into your own hands—it's your life. Relax, let go. Being responsible is the key to your happiness.

Grand Rising!

Have you ever stopped to think about the power of the saying, "Treat others how you want to be treated"? Let's dive into that for a moment! Imagine if you're radiating negativity—moody, critical, impatient, abusive, and cynical actions. Would you really want to experience the same in return? Life operates on an incredible principle: "What you put out is what you get back!" When you spread positive vibes and actions, you attract uplifting experiences. So what's negativity really pulling in, other than sadness and misery?

So, let's become mindful of how we treat those around us! Be mindful of what you're absorbing from the news and social media. Remember, we're created for happiness, and that happiness is within us—let's not let anything or anyone disrupt our joy. Make every inhale and exhale meaningful.

Choose positivity with those you're around today. Feel the transformation. Wish others: Grand Rising, Good Day, Hotep, Namaste. May you radiate supreme peace in yourself and to others.

Sometimes, the way we act and the choices we make can come off as rude, controlling, or sarcastic. It's not really intentional; it's just how we've been shaped over time. Growing up, we pick up stuff that makes us egotistical, manipulative, and a bit arrogant. How we think determines what we do. Think about why you stopped talking to someone or maybe even took money from a relative.

More than likely, you don't know why because it's unconscious. That means you're unaware of your behavior. Although this is unnatural, many of us will remain in this dark space!

So many of us are walking around unconscious, and so we push away all those thoughts and feelings we don't want to deal with. We go through life on autopilot. That means, 99% of the time, we're in the dark about what's really going on. Only 1% of the time are we actually aware.

Most families are like that... they don't see what's going on. Because of being unconscious and past conditioning, families often end up in a mental mess where they end up hurting each other. Instead of reunions, stop passing down conditioning and darkness.

The way to do that is to wake up and become conscious. No longer focus on the surface stuff. When we step back and truly see, we understand it's not about a child's looks, or even about us, or what we own—it all comes down to love. So, be understanding; a clear mind will always find balance and happiness. Be loving and aware.

It's Spring Break right now. Children are off from school, doing what? Easter will be coming up, and some will celebrate it as a secular occasion, while others will celebrate it as sacred. Throughout the year, we've got 11 federal holidays when most government offices shut down. Plus, there are another 17 observances, like April Fools' Day, where nobody gets any time off!

Then there are the various months we commemorate throughout the year, such as Black History Month, Women's History Month, and at least seven other monthly observances. But how can we possibly capture hundreds of years of life-altering experiences in just one month?

Even more, do these days or months truly mean anything, or are they merely artificial breaks from our daily routines at work and school? Are they just days off, days to shop, or to sleep...? Is nothing sacred?

With holidays, are we really growing or gaining insight during this time? Are we becoming better humans? What is truly meaningful to us? It might not be what the government says.

Besides, how can we limit our story to just one day or even a month? We might be mindlessly following a script that exploits rather than empowers.

Every day is a chance to celebrate life. Our ancestors deserve daily remembrance, yet they often fade from our thoughts. Imagine if we chose to unplug from consumption and social media, to read, offer a helping hand, pray, or meditate. What transformations could occur?

Become awaken. Think about what really matters to you. Do you even know who you are? Ask yourself: Do my celebrations bring peace or chaos? When you think about your roots, do your actions inspire and heal you? Be mindful of what you're celebrating!
