FAKEBOOK?

Is hiding behind your device detrimental to your mental health? - Franco Cianflone (Winnipeg)

Hiding behind the veil of anonymity allows some people to spew hatred, intolerance, and everything else that fall into this category. Social media giants need to understand the mental health implications that have been created by not adhering to their community standards. Hate for profit is the worst crime that can be afflicted on humanity.

Franco Cianflone (Winnipeg)

“Cyber bullying is bullying. Hiding behind a pretty screen doesn’t make it any less hateful.” – https://onlinesense.org/bullying-quotes/

“When you choose love over hate, faith over despair and acceptance over intolerance, you are doing your part to change the world.” – Franco Cianflone (Winnipeg)

This is a 21st Century phenomenon that is progressively picking up steam especially in these unprecedented times.

Cyber bullying and harassment today is rampant. No one is immune as it preys on all regardless of age, sex, wealth, fame, and the list goes on and on.

Hiding behind the veil of anonymity allows some people to spew hatred, intolerance, and everything else that fall into this category.

Some of these people are angry but now their anger has transformed into an ugly beast called hatred.

Anonymity to them is incredible power that they have never experienced before in their life.

Moreover, self-image and self-worth is their true quest for self-actualization.

However, many are actually decent human beings with families and jobs but somehow got caught up in online mobs that are no different than street mobs anywhere on the planet.

One or two individuals can cause havoc when they believe that their mission in life is to defame, slander, intimidate, and persecute individuals.

Their agenda is very transparent.

The common denominator is hate!

In most cases, they spew without performing their due diligence regarding the facts as their ongoing dialogue inspires more hatred based on conjecture. Unfortunately, hiding behind their device is detrimental to their mental health.

As a result, anonymity creates an inauthentic self that cannot grow and ultimately deteriorates towards despair and despondency.

Who are these people?

They might be your neighbors next door, people across the street, others in your city, in another province or state or across the globe.

Most often as a result of intensive forensic investigation their real identities, location and workplaces are revealed. Corporations have paid huge dollars to forensic investigators and litigators in order to bring these people to justice.

The legal system no longer takes this societal issue lightly.

https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.5729791

https://vancouversun.com/news/man-who-ran-campaign-of-harassment-against-ex-wife-convicted-of-breach-of-probation

Some victims of the bullying and harassment have opted to publish similar vindictive group or individual pages that exposes the actual name(s) and pictures of the perpetrator(s) and their workplace locations.

What can you do?

https://www.vertlaw.ca/law-blog/2018/2/26/internet-harassment-and-cyberbullying-your-rights

What’s the cost?

Ultimately, hate begets hate and the cost is undeniably huge, emotionally, spiritually, and physically for these perpetrators and everyone that is affected. Hate creates imbalance. So kill them with kindness.

Forgive them.

Release them to their highest good of HSPP (happiness, success, prosperity and peace of mind).

Love always begets love, respect, tolerance, diversity, inclusion, and equality.

Love creates balance.

This might be a hard pill to swallow for some however doing this releases toxicity from your psychological house.

Begin right now and do not even spend one more microsecond of your precious time, any longer contemplating their toxicity.

Be mentally tough.

Determination, openness, understanding, compassion, and purpose will be your mental toughness armor.

Hopefully, the advent of this current pandemic will cause people everywhere to appreciate that we are all interdependent.

The only enemy that can bring people together as it has at this juncture is this pandemic.

When this pandemic has run its course, hopefully more people on the planet will choose love over hate.

Finally, the greatest weapon in the universe is to extend love and compassion and pray for these people.

“Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” - Luke 23:34 NIV

Hallelujah!

Your spark isn't your purpose

“Your spark isn’t our purpose that lost box fills in when you are ready to live.” – Soul (Disney Pixar)

The past year has been unprecedented beyond words for many, many people.

Present circumstances have really done a number on the global community regardless of socio-economic demographics. As we approach the end of this pandemic year, let's focus on how 2021 can be a much better year filled with endless possibilities for all.

Many have been pondering various scenarios regarding the what if or when I outcome of this pandemic during the past year. However, these scenarios have been around for eons.

People have always focused on the what if and when I syndrome when things begin to go sideways. Even when life doesn’t go sideways, fear pops its ugly head bombarding people with these two questions.

We only have today and we should make the most of it. Enjoy the ride.

Marsha Mercant said “Don’t worry your life away waiting for the elusive prize at journey’s end. The journey is the prize.”

The journey is your prize. Bottom line.

Time is precious, fleeting and irretrievable.

No one knows what anyone has gone through or is going through especially in these unprecedented times.

A measure of kindness goes along way. Refuse to submit your thoughts, feelings and actions to the dark side of our human experience.

This is your life.

LIVE LIFE.

Live it full throttle to the best of your ability in spite of present circumstances.

Imagine all the possibilities in 2021.

Fill your life with life-giving thoughts, feelings and actions.

Expect the best as the best is yet to come for you.

Awaken and unleash that wonderful, imaginative, and unstoppable you.

This is your moment.

This is your time to unleash that unstoppable, creative, possibility thinking human being within.

Create an amazing 2021 for you, your loved ones and the greater global community.

The dark side of humanity will always be there to suck you into its vortex of negativity and despair.

Thank God for the ability to think for oneself as you don’t have to join the herd. Everything that surrounds you cannot be changed instantaneously.

However, you can change your own personal attitude and suddenly everything begins to change around you.

The real power lies within.

Get to know that incredible, intelligent, and creative individual that resides at the core of your being. It has no clue whether something is real, imagined, big, or small.

It only relies and acts on information that is housed in its core.

Change that information dramatically and you automatically change the outcome of all your actions.

A clear picture of your desired outcome now creates more order, less fear, less doubt, less confusion and thus allows us to tap into the higher side of our personality.

As a result, you will come out better.

Tough, unprecedented times create a better version of you. Embrace it and it will embrace you with gifts that words could never express.

The polar opposite of the vortex of negativity and despair is inspiration.

A spiritual edge provides people with this armor of inspiration.

This spiritual edge provides them with the freedom that is the innate quest of all human beings that breathe and live passionately not only through their words but their action.

Everyone is engaged in his or her own metamorphosis similar to a butterfly.

However, this life cycle is different for everyone.

No one ever arrives as we are always growing and learning.

These people are inspired beyond the usual parameters of human inspiration.

This inspiration is embedded into their DNA.

Let’s face it.

Anyone can keep going when the going is great.

However, to keep going when the evidence is not visible with your physical eyes requires faith.

Fearless Actions In Trust and Humility!

It requires an inner eye of understanding that transcends everything else.

This is the beauty of the moment.

Don’t believe that you are not equipped to embrace 2021 with expectation and gratitude because the best is yet to come for you.

What if and when I?

Tell them to hit the road as these questions don’t belong in 2021 any longer. 2021 is your year and you’re going to make it the best year yet.

The best is yet to come in 2021.

Happy New Year to everyone.

“After it’s all said and done, winning in life boils down to the following. All humans on this glorious planet that we call Earth have four innate core factors that will determine their destiny. They are ambition, adaptation, resilience, and resolve. Work as hard as you can to develop these four core principles. If you do, you will soar to heights unimagined.” – Franco Cianflone

As we approach the end of this tumultuous year that has been riddled with so many events, take some precious time to contemplate the assertion that present circumstances are never lasting and do not count.

Present circumstances will never be congenial 100% of the time.

Actually, present circumstances will always challenge your ambition, adaptation, resilience and resolve.

Present circumstances do not count as they are continually changing. Focusing on present circumstances limits your ability to view the world beyond your personal perception.

God gave all of us free will and this free will allows us to move past present circumstances and really see the possibilities amid the impossibilities.

Embrace the impossibility with courage.

Courage is acting in the face of fear that is triggered by the impossibility.

Courage is absolutely essential if a person wants to realize their dreams and live in freedom.

There’s a whole big wide world of magnificence out there and you can have it but you must believe in yourself and persevere.

Life = Risk, so me must risk in order to be, do or have more in our lives.

However, currently we are all experiencing this global pandemic and it is creating an incredible toll on people everywhere, intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, physically and of course financially.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SUCCUMB TO ITS PSYCHOLOGICAL REIGN OF TERROR.

To the best of your ability, navigate this arduous journey by developing these four core principals.
Dr. Robert H. Schuller once said, “Tough times never last but tough people do.”

He was referring to mental toughness that is anchored in faith, gratitude and expectation.

Especially now, we must integrate this great quote with these four core principals in order to realize greater results in spite of this current malady and corresponding circumstances.

Animals are able to use their sensory factors, i.e. see, hear, smell, taste and touch.
Moreover, these creatures can adapt to their environment.

Humans can also do the latter but they have the added ability to think. They also have the innate ability to utilize their intellectual faculties, i.e. will, imagination, memory, perception, intuition and reason.

This is where the distinction begins regarding ones ability to cope and manage present circumstances.

Essentially, this is where the rubber meets the road.

Utilizing these intellectual factors allows one to join the ranks of AARR.

You have so much untapped talent, energy, creativity and awesomeness that has been dormant for so many years waiting to be unleashed and discovered.

Don’t put it aside any longer as your fearless actions in trust and humility commonly known as faith will take you to the finish line.

Others will be looking at the fire while you are walking through the fire towards your victory and success.

Merry Christmas and may happiness, success, prosperity and peace of mind chase you down in 2021.

Stop walking on egg shells December 2, 2020

“Touch a thistle timidly and it pricks you; grasp it boldy and its spines crumble”. – Admiral William F. Halsey

It’s your life.

Step out boldly and claim what is rightfully yours. Action disintegrates doubt and fear.

Joseph Campbell said, “Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls”.

How do I know what my bliss is?

Stop walking on eggshells.

If you do you will discover your bliss.

When you do, you will uncover what a graduate of the Mental Toughness For Life Peak Performance seminar discovered.

In his own words, he stated, “Live it! Love it! Become it! Welcome it!”

This idiomatic phrase, walking on eggshells is notorious for crushing transparent and integral communication.

“Oh, I’ll just tell them what they want to hear and not what’s really on my mind. After all, I don’t want to ruffle any feathers.”

Some people are overly cautious when dealing with a person that gets angry or offended very easily.

As a result, they are very cognizant not to upset the apple cart.

Their lizard brain tells them to back off, you’re walking on thin ice, tread lightly and make sure that you pussyfoot around this issue.

RIDICULOUS!

However, you don’t have to be rude, impolite, intolerant, disrespectful and just plain stupid.

Breathe!

Think!

Respond!

To the best of your ability, respond with transparent and integral dialogue.

Walking on eggshells simply intensifies the drama until an issue arises and creates an emotional explosion that is sometimes irreparable.

Half of the time, some people are not even aware that they are doing or saying something that raises someone’s red flag of disapproval or disappointment.

You are only responsible for your own thoughts, feelings, actions and results.

When eggshells appear on the scene deal with it with transparency without shoving them under the carpet.

Living in this manner allows you to pursue your bliss regardless of present circumstances.

Listen to that inner voice that has been summoning you for some time now.

Waiting is indecision that derails forward movement of your goals, aspirations and dreams.

As you begin to gain momentum in your quest for your success, some people will fade into the sunset or begin to take notice.

Now, how many people can really survive this uphill battle? Most of them have already packed up their suitcase and moved back to status quo lane.

You see it’s comfortable there.

Nobody is going to ridicule you as everyone is on an even keel.

Don’t rock the boat.

Do your job.

Do the best that you can with what you have and then you die?

I don’t think so!

There is more to life than the latter. When you strive and work towards something huge in your life you feel alive and vibrant. Every single cell of your body says thank you to you. You will think that you’ve had enough but something inside of you is pressing you to move forward.

What is it?

It’s that burning desire within you that is seeking expression without, regardless of present circumstances

If you are driven internally, you are driven by your purpose and not by the status quo.

Set your sights right now on the environment that will allow you to grow and you will instantly find the right fit.

My definition of the word focus is “Fierce optimum concentration unusually sustained.”

Focus only on what you want to achieve.

The universe has big eyes, big ears and laser-focused attention on what you ask for, good, bad or indifferent every single day of your life.

Do not be deceived by the autocratic nature of how you are going to achieve your heart’s desire, as this controlling force will crush any aspiration towards oblivion. Remember, dinosaurs are long gone.

Embrace your day with piranha activity.

When everyone is starting to relax into the status quo mode you pick up steam and energize towards your finish line.

Understand that success is selfish, as it doesn’t wait for anyone or anything.

It is rude, impolite and has no manners.

It will take any path but you must have nerves of steel, the patience of Job, the passion of Jobs and the intellect of Musk.

More importantly, you must be you and no one else.

Success waits for no one.

Be a game changer and reinvent your game every single day so you don’t become extinct.

You only need one idea to transform your life.

Determine how to create more value than anyone else on the face of the earth.

Live it!

Love it!

Become it!

Welcome it!”

You deserve it.

“Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution.” — Kahlil Gibran

What was intended to connect humanity in all corners of the globe has now disengaged people with hatred, disrespect, intolerance, and everything else that falls into this camp.

This is a 21st Century phenomenon that is progressively picking up steam especially in these unprecedented times.

Ultimately, hate begets hate and the cost is undeniably huge, emotionally, spiritually, and physically for these perpetrators and everyone else that is affected.

Hate creates imbalance.

“The future belongs to brands that do more than play lip service to real dialogue and recognize that their customers want them to believe in something.” — James Murdoch

Currently there has been a lot of talk and action about business players removing their advertising dollars from giant platforms.

It is no surprise to anyone.

Professing honorable community standards and not adhering to them is simply lip service.

One of the giant’s stated corporate purpose:

“To give people the power to build community and bring the word closer together”

Ultimately lip service always brings down the giant.

It is no wonder that what was intended to connect humanity in all corners of the globe has now disengaged people with hatred, disrespect and intolerance.

Why is it out of control?

Imagine anyone on the planet that is practicing law, medicine, or any other professional entity without any regulatory board or licensing.

What about no longer having to license vehicles or individuals?

The list goes on and on.

The result?

It would be a free for all and a recipe for anarchy.

People all over the world have experienced some of the giant’s wrath of perpetuated hatred and intolerance.

In many ways this typifies the David and Goliath story.

The giant’s guess today is that all these major players will be back but not comprehending that their five smooth stones in the form of billions upon billions of advertising revenue places him in jeopardy.

One giant might be betting on the feeder’s lack of will to stop the feeding and ultimately restore the status quo.

What’s the solution?

Stop feeding the giant and watch it come tumbling down like a huge building that is imploded.

Hopefully, the giant will wake up and prevent the impending implosion.

What’s the real solution to this social media pandemic and hate for profit scenario?

Kill them with kindness.

Forgive them.

Release them to their highest good of HSPP (happiness, success, prosperity and peace of mind).

Love always begets love, respect, tolerance, diversity, inclusion, and equality.

Love creates balance.

This might be a hard pill to swallow for some however doing this releases toxicity from your psychological house.

Begin right now and do not even spend one more microsecond of your precious time, any longer contemplating their toxicity.

Be mentally tough.

Determination, openness, understanding, compassion, and purpose will be your mental toughness armor.

Finally, the greatest weapon in the universe is to extend love and compassion and pray for these people.

Kahlil Gibran said, “Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution.”

The significance and profound meaning of these words is timeless.

As more people worldwide embrace love over hate, attitudes shift towards equality for all regardless of race, color, religion, creed or any other societal descriptors.

The human body cannot sustain a vibration of hate for long as remaining in this zone creates havoc physically and emotionally.

Hate begets hate, plain and simple.

Ultimately, the fallout is intense and soon a blurred vision of reality is imminent.

Let’s fast forward.

“Hey Ben, I heard that you were coming back to Earth soon. You’ve been on Mars for almost 20 years. Right?”

“Coming back soon, Hal. I didn’t think that I would be coming back when I left 20 years ago on that lottery ticket to Mars.”

“Ben, you wouldn’t recognize the place. Everything has changed.”

“Really? Is everyone still on social media, Hal?”

“Not really. Social media turned into a social mess.”

“What do you mean, Hal?”

“Thank God for Generation Alpha and beyond as these kids started to change things up big time. They wanted their kids to have the best that life could offer. They became the wealthiest, best educated and the most incredibly tech savvy generation. They soon realized that the social media giants were getting richer and richer off the backs of previous generations so they stopped advertising with these online giants. Soon, most of the companies faded away as that was their main source of income”.

“Wow, that’s too bad. A lot of people lost their jobs Hal.”

“No Ben, this Alpha group created other giants that gave super autonomy to individuals, companies, corporations so everyone could grow and prosper. That old stuff that you grew up with is long gone.”

“What do you mean Hal?”

“Well, anyone that wanted to use the Alpha group’s online platforms had to have an encrypted human ID microchip inserted into their body in order to verify their identity.”

“That’s crazy.”

“Crazy or not, it’s here Ben and besides it’s effortless and painless.”

“Well, how is everything else?”

“People are actually talking to each other again and thanks to the Alpha group life is better and more human in spite of the AI development.”

“Are you ready to come back Ben?

It’s really a different world but I think that you will love it now.”

“Thanks Hal. I’ll send you a thought wave message when I’m ready to land.”

“Safe travels Ben.”

Food for thought.

“If people can learn to hate they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” — Nelson Mandela

Your X factor remembers and reminds you that each time you are attempting to do what you already know, it stops you dead in your tracks.

Knowledge is power but it is only potential power unless it is put into massive, decisive action.

“The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.” - Walt Disney

Walt Disney was fired from a newspaper because they said that he lacked imagination and had no original ideas.

Disney knew all about the knowing, doing gap and persevered anyway.

The rest is history.

The knowing doing gap is knowing what to do but not doing it. This phenomenon has been around for many years.

People have the ability and know how in order to complete a task but somehow they fail to complete it.

Why?

This is primarily due to this knowing doing gap that is prevalent in society and prevents well-intentioned people from moving forward with any given task.

Are you in the knowing doing gap jail cell?

Is it time to bust out?

You have the only key but your paradigm has this key securely tucked away.

It is known as the controlling X factor.

But who wants to be controlled?

All over the planet people are screaming for independence and freedom from dictatorial forces.

Well, how does it have this power to control you?

In order to understand this better, let's cut deeper into the manifestation of our results.

Let’s move towards our last layer of the circle of results known as the SI or self image.

Call this circle your bank.

You want to input as much information into that part of your human personality because that's the part that's going to cause you to get better results in your life.

As you change the dialogue and input it into this part of your human personality everything begins to change dramatically.

Remember, the paradigm is the controller.

It's a manipulative, controlling, and dictatorial force that calls all the shots whether you like it or not.

It is no different than a controller in a company.

The controller dictates what's going to come in and what's going to go out in many different facets of that company.

All your efforts to move forward will be in vain as the controller has a history of controlling you.

It basically has you in this knowing doing gap jail cell and it has the only key.

The X factor paradigm will do anything to continue to control you and your desired results.

Don’t believe it?

Just look at your results.

Understand this.

Your X factor cannot be trusted.

Your X factor remembers and reminds you that each time you are attempting to do what you already know, it stops you dead in your tracks.

Knowledge is power but it is only potential power unless it is put into massive, decisive action.

“You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus." - Mark Twain

You don’t see with your eyes.

You see through your eyes with cells of recognition.

Intensely focus and concentrate only on one picture of what you want.

It has to show up.

It’s the law at work.

Your cells of recognition are located in your filing cabinet commonly referred to as your subconscious mind.

Your imagination allows you to see what your physical eyes cannot see. This experiential frequency creates a very clear picture of what might seem impossible.

At times, an individual that is dreaming during sleep, sees the picture very vividly and in full color.

There is nothing hazy or blurry about this image as it is incredibly pristine.

You need to implant in your deeper mind what was given to you upon your creation.

You were created for abundance, wealth, greater expansion, and greater fulfillment. Set your sights so high and unimaginable that the naysayers will tell you that you can't do it.

You impregnated the picture of what you wanted into your subconscious mind and mixed it with feeling and emotion.

When you have arrived at your chosen destination, they will ask you, “How did you do it?”

You will reply, imagination.

“Motivation can be compared to a balloon that is forever leaking air. It needs to be ‘boosted' periodically to maintain a solid shape.” - John Stejskal

Motivation is fleeting.

Education coupled with motivation is lasting and causes permanent change.

Permanent change causes new results and everything gets better and better.

One without the other provides you with a leaking balloon.

Motivation is a temporary fix however motivation coupled with education creates amazing results.

After it’s all said and done, it’s all about results.

The truth is that everyone wants to be, do, or have more.

The only way to achieve this is to embrace information that resonates with your inner core. Internalize it with feeling and emotion and as a result, a burning desire will arise within.

You will feel alive and vibrant.

The explosive emotion in your mind, body, and spirit creates a volcano of powerful ideas.

The blood flowing through your body is electrified with passion and purpose.

Yes.

You just woke up and experienced an explosive psychological impact.

The status quo in your life just died and you flipped the switch in your brain from default to design.

Before we begin this journey towards greater life in all areas, be certain that you want to stop the drama in your life and take your life back according to your terms.

Basically, we can do anything that we want in this lifetime as long as we do not violate the rights of any other human being.

Therefore, please write in your journal what you want not need in this juncture of your life.

After you have completed this, write why you want it.

Understanding the latter catapults your results exponentially.

Carpe Momentum.

“Sometimes questions are more important than answers.”- Nancy Willard

Ask a thousand questions.

Don’t accept the status quo.

Change is life and life giving.

Embrace change and you will soon see that the real answer is in the question.

Begin to ask questions that challenge the status quo in your life.

These questions will create change towards the realization of your goals.

Be ambitious. Have goals, aspirations, and dreams. Stretch, commit, and be willing to take risks. Always be willing to re-invent, re-work, and re-create. If it were easy, everyone and their dog would be doing what you want to do.

Be adaptable. If you cannot adapt to the continual upheavals in your life and business, you will be doomed. You have two choices and your choices will always determine the outcome good, bad, or indifferent. You can either stay and adapt or leave but do not leave until you fully understand that your personal contribution did not add to the upheaval. If you leave without carefully analyzing the process that led to the lack of success, you will only be kidding yourself. Nothing will change in your next venue so be anal about being integral with yourself.

Be resilient. When I was 12 years old, I swam the lake in Watrous, Saskatchewan. This lake has very high sodium, magnesium, and potassium salt content as it is a lake onto itself and provides swimmers with the ability to float without any effort. You probably couldn’t drown if you wanted. Be resilient like that lake. Be buoyant, push upward, recover quickly, and get back to the business of working towards your goal.

Be resolved. When there are issues that cause you to derail or immobilize you, stop, think, and create other possibilities that are already there for you. These obstacles will cause you to think on a deeper level and discover hidden solutions that would have never surfaced for you.

Continually ask the hard questions that ultimately lead to the health of your psychological house.

Carpe Momentum.

“Your goals are the road maps that guide you and show you what is possible for your life.” - Les Brown

Most of the time, you are driving on a divided highway.

You are not going to be reckless and abandon common sense however you are going to take some calculated risks based on your perception of what’s ahead.

If the vehicle ahead of you is preventing you from moving towards your destination, you must act decisively or you will be at a standstill.

This is the recipe.

Shower all the irritants that continue to cling to you and hold you back from your greatness.

This includes, all the drama, lack of confidence, excuses, lack of gratitude, resentment, failed relationships, mistakes, suppositions, rationalizations and opinions.

As you shower these irritants on a daily basis, you will begin to feel freedom.

You are now empowered to take on the world and the world now becomes your oyster.

Darren Hardy expressed this succinctly in one of his morning blogs, “No matter what stage in life you are, play. Chase down your dreams with aggressive pursuit. While the approach might be different, the ambition is the same. You were not designed to play small. You were made for greatness.”

Darren Hardy is right on the money. You were not designed to play small. You were made for greatness.

That's why at the onset of this mini book, I have always said that you must act and the definition of act is always creating things.

You are in a constant state of creating solutions, alternatives, methodologies, concepts, or anything else that moves you closer towards your chosen goal.

You see if you're always creating things, you are focusing on what you want instead of what you have.

Remember, present. circumstances do not count. However, well-intentioned caregivers taught us that present circumstances do count.

Eradicate this idea and you will begin to move forward towards everything that you want in this lifetime.

Don't wait any longer.

Begin right now as waiting is playing it safe.

A great analogy is the remarkable paint. It's an instant white board on any wall that you choose.

When you're done, simply erase, and start all over again.

You can start anytime and anywhere but you must begin.

Act, as action speaks volumes.

Carpe Momentum.

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”- Steve Jobs

Yes, everyone’s time is limited.

Everyone has a certain number of undefined days in their existence.

Last I heard, they don’t build statues of critics or cynics.

So much time and energy is wasted on this noise.

It’s so easy today to bombard everything and everyone with misguided missiles known as our words.

Our time is so fragmented that we should be spending more time on how to improve or create better results with our collective energies.

There is another way.

DNA . . . Dare to nurture all that is within.

No one in this universe has your DNA .

Stop this nonsense of comparing yourself to anyone else on the planet.

Grab a hold of yourself.

They can’t even come close.

When you believe this with your entire body, mind and spirit the essence of who you really are exudes into your outer world.

As a result, people want to be around you and they want to follow you because they want to and not because they have to.

In order to get rid of the naysayers, cynics and critics and believe that you can do it, you must persist in spite of present circumstances.

Present circumstances don't count.

This persistence stuff is developed. You don’t find it in a drink or medication. You dig down deep within your inner core and do whatever you must do in order to take you to your destination.

How do I do this?

You read, listen, walk, jog, pray, intend, believe in yourself until you break the barrier.

If it were easy, everyone on the planet would do what you want to do with your life or business.

How do I break the barrier of criticism and cynicism?

You do this with faith, love, determination and persistence.

Make this a daily activity until it becomes a habit.

When there are supposed obstacles in your ways simply say next.

Next!

Carpe Momentum.

FRANCO CIANFLONE

B.Sc. Ed. M. Ed. LSC CS MENTAL TOUGHNESS FOR LIFE Certified Corporate Trainer, Educator, Business Consultant, Author & Entrepreneur. Franco Cianflone is a graduate of the internationally acclaimed Bill Gove Speech Workshop with a Corporate Speaker designation.

His extensive corporate training includes Bob Proctor, Paul Martinelli, and training seminars/sessions with Steve Siebold, John Maxwell, Les Brown, Tony Robbins, Mark Victor Hansen, and many others. He is the author of sixteen books to date and co-founder of Mini Bytes For The Brain.

Definition of a fake book “A book that contains the melody lines of popular copyrighted songs without accompanying harmonies and that is published without the permission of the copyright owners” - Merriam Webster

Fake books are very popular with musicians all over the world. They can perform gigs anywhere with one or two books that contain thousands of songs.

Professional musicians can embellish the songs with altered chord progressions and create incredibly beautiful music. Some inexperienced musicians might end up actually doing injustice to the original song as there is only minimal bare bones of a melody and basic chord progressions.

So, here is the point.

What was intended to connect humanity in all corners of the globe has now disengaged people with hatred, disrespect, intolerance, and everything else that falls into this camp.

Has this social media platform become a Fakebook?

Changing its name does not change its legacy at this point and time.

Unfortunately, this platform has allowed many otherwise good people to hide behind the veil of anonymity and spew hatred, intolerance, and everything else that falls into this category.

These people would never do this if their real identity was exposed. However, you may blame all of these atrocities to AI robots.

But who is programming these online barrages but more importantly who is directing and leading the charge?

The almighty bottom line $ is fueling the Fakebook energy. Ultimately, hate begets hate and the cost is undeniably huge, emotionally, spiritually, and physically for all concerned.

Hate creates imbalance.

“The future belongs to brands that do more than play lip service to real dialogue and recognize that their customers want them to believe in something.” — James Murdoch

Some online platforms are increasingly becoming more responsive to this societal issue while others are simply only interested in their bottom line and advancing their personal and business agenda. As a result, “Words are only words but action speaks volumes.”

There are so many isolated narratives everywhere on the planet especially on social media platforms.

There is always more to the story than an isolated narrative.

Bob Moawad said, “The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own.

No apologies or excuses.

No one to lean on, rely on or blame.

The gift is yours — it is an amazing journey — and you alone are responsible for the quality of it.

This is the day your life really begins.”

It is no surprise to anyone.

Professing honorable community standards and not adhering to them is simply lip service.

The Fakebook’s stated corporate purpose: “To give people the power to build community and bring the word closer together.”

Ultimately lip service brings down any giant as the universe is always listening.

Onward and Godward.

Carpe momentum!

Yours in success,
