I grew up believing God was testing me; then life was testing me. I now view life as shear opportunity and my view of self and my interaction (perception and interpretation) with life's opportunities to experience is the designer. Be very selfish in your interpretation and perspective. They should always serve your being the you that you say you are. Life is merely the base for you to create your best life and be true to who you say you are.

No one is mad at god. Nobody at church hurt me. I left Christianity because of growth and an awareness that I no longer needed to be psychologically manipulated to live right as I value what right is, to love others as I understand love to be of myself and of others and to understand that life is precious and should be appreciated and enjoyed to the full. Leaving Christianity brought an inner feeling of freedom that really can only be experienced and very hard to explain. But Jennifer Fishburne's video on "Why I left Christianity" that she released is a great explanation to anyone finding themselves no longer as as connected to Christianity or religion in general as they once were. Here is a link to Jennifer Fishburne's video and I highly suggest you watch: https://youtu.be/yfdvTpxeLSE
You are not alone, and you don't have to find some reason to be mad at the church, the pastor, other people or even god to just GROW pass needing something. You have a greatness within you that needs your attention now. You are on land and you no longer need the raft on your back. Live your life.

Cheryl Sosnowski with Create Space Studio interviews ShonSpeaks on being a powerful creator. One of the first steps to being a powerful creator of the life you want to live is to honor with integrity who you are and who you are choosing to become. You have choice no matter how powerless you may feel today, no matter how absolute the limitations of what others have said about you seems true, and no matter how opposite your life may be right now from your greatest dreams. You hold the power but it starts with self-acceptance. Acknowledge the 3 main alibis ((1) playing the victim (2) casting judgment and (3) blame )) we all use or have used as our valid excuses for not living our greatest dreams and surrender to the truth and untruth of those excuse that have kept you from honoring with self-expression your truer self.

Having a closer relationship with yourself is critical to living the life you want. Sometimes however we find ourselves on a loop of deficiency, never feeling good enough to love how we want, never feeling blessed enough to have our finances the way we want, and never feeling bold enough to create the life we want. Some of us have gotten used to wanting but never having, hoping but never experiencing, and living but never enjoying life. Sometimes we have to take time to brainstorm ourselves to uncover our wants but then merge our wants into our being.

Learning to just be you can be hard working because the automatic systems in our mind have us beholden to belief systems and thinking patterns that don't get us the life we really want. You have to be dedicated to being you and let's face it sometimes we treat ourselves like the enemy. In order to stop that we have to change the abstractions that are controlling our inner systems about who we are and can be. To read the full blog, go to freeyourthinkingmind.com

Everybody is talking about Black Lives Matter but are all organizations claiming that mantra the same. Today I have a conversation with a Seval Haley who is the Vice President of Black Lives Matter Help Us, a nonprofit organization based in California. The last two words following the slogan is a distinction that I now understand makes a difference. Not all Black Lives Matter organizations are made the same. Listen as we discuss Black Lives Matter Help Us, politics, the racial and regional inequalities in the educational and economic system and a host of other topics all related to making this critical juncture of time we are in right now one that is a movement of sincere change in the course of human behavior and not just a momentary scream of pain.
To learn more about this organization visit their website at https://blacklivesmatterhelpus.org/ or call at (951) 354-5066 to team up and learn how to better arm us with the information and knowledge what will truly help us. Another website to check out if you have school age children is greatschools.org.

Is America really a melting pot? If yes, then why are will still tackling with racism and police brutality against blacks in 2020? Could it be that racism is only the symptom of a greater cause? It's undeniable that white privilege exist in America, not because it's the will of some benevolent super daddy as I was taught growing up, but because humans built a system of laws on top of laws that intentionally and barbarically elevated and biased the minds of one group of people as white and superior over another group of people, as niggers and inferior. And this distorted mentality on both sides have been passed down through the generations as righteous, destiny, and impenetrable. It's time that we manifest a new destiny!

In this episode, Shonspeaks interviews the author Dr. Sharline Mashack about her new book "Spectrum Secrets." Although this book is centered around autism, it is so much more than that. The transformational emotions and eventual acceptance of life as it is demonstrated through people's stories when facing a diagnosis that they didn't expect about their child is awe-inspiring. This book is a usable tool not just for parents or family members of autistic children, but for anyone that is dealing with an unmet expectation in any area of life. We all have unmet expectations where we have to learn how to adjust, find acceptance and embrace the now of life. This book helps with the adjustment process. Check out an excerpt of her book at www.freeyourthinkingmind.com from the blogpost from February 14, 2020. Also, watch a video of this episode on YouTube at the "FYTM Network" channel.
