Is it what you see when you gaze into the mirror? Is it what you think about when you have the opportunity to truly make a positive difference? Is it believing you’re going to lose the scraps that you’ve worked so hard to gain? Is it the belief that people will consider you weak for standing up for morality of humanity? Is it the fear that you’ve outgrown your circle? Or is it just the fear of what’s next?

I will not apologize for people’s fragility of hearing honest information. There seems to be more of a problem with my ability to articulate the shady or questionable actions of others; versus the masses being offended by the doers of the actions. There is nothing I have shared that could be considered malice or malicious. I have been Mr consistent in my approach to helping make life better for others; unfortunately, to the deficit of my very own family. Yes I’ve made many personal sacrifices for the greater good of humanity; regardless if that has not been a shared sentiment for some family, friends and too many placed in positions of leadership throughout the country.

So again, yes, I’ve cut ties with many individuals and business opportunities due to possessing that hindering thing called a conscious. I refuse to make weak excuses for people and or businesses that absolutely know or should know better. And if you didn’t know as a business then shame on you and how are you considered successful, if you do not possess an ethical value? I don’t want to hear any more of this weakness of “I was just doing my job“… Because if you remove the company’s logo, your title, your name, your gender, your ethnicity, or Presidency and then just the actions are read to a jury of respectable peers; are you still employed, are you still free or are you now looking at matching bracelets and a lengthy prison sentence?

It’s rough when those that you’ve given the best of yourself to, then show you very little in return of who you are to them. Using me for an example, I’m not a friend that will ask for much, beyond an ear every now and again. I like to know that the people I care about are doing well and good. Regardless, the more I try to develop myself and produce; the more I seem to loose those I’ve cared about. The first book I released last year, In and Out of Darkness, was a hard book to write due to the vast experiences and the relationships. The book could’ve easily been much longer in pages, but out of respect of many other people, I chose not to dive too deeply into their stories or storylines; also to the sensitive nature of life as a demoralized human being trying to survive America and Americans.

The sad thing for me is, despite the choice to minimize the introduction or deeper dive of many storylines, I made a shout out in the book for several key people at the time; only two people mentioned it, informing me we don’t see our relationships the same. Solidifying too many love to party with you; however not many want to see you excel beyond the party. I’ve had people tell me you’re on my to–read list, (but after they support the books of the people they do not personally know). The book is my honest life, this website and articles are about taking some hard and sometimes painful information that has been used to exploit us. Also helping those in society see things clearer for a better today for all. If more people did the ethical thing more often it will become a norm; just like the masses currently making unlimited excuses for the monsters of yesterday and today ripping away at our humanity as a whole. One brief conversation with good intentions can change a life or many for the better. Have the courage to say, “hey, do you have a moment…”.
