A perfect example of this term is Bruno Mars’ “The Lazy Song”. This song took Pop, RnB and Soul Charts by storm worldwide, hitting #2 in the US and #1 in the UK, selling over 2,000,000 digital copies in the United States alone, as of July 2011.

It’s easy to see what this video promotes: Laziness, Unwillingness to Work or exert any type of energy…The Dumb Down Generation.

If you take a look around you, at the media, the atmosphere, the economy, you will see a pattern emerge. People are not working. Our earth is accumulating more and more garbage and toxins by the minute. While the sheeple of America are collecting welfare, unemployment or disability, the government is gaining more control of mindless lives, causing the value of the dollar to plummet over the past several years. Most media outlets market themselves to a population saturated with self-medication, pill-popping, negligence, laziness and unawareness.

Enough with the meaningless music, the mindless sitcoms and the hazed over look in the eyes of people across the nation.

It’s time for The Dumb Down Generation to WAKE UP before the last few shreds of the America we love are destroyed.

Kill your TV, support intelligent, thought-provoking art/media and for God’s sake, don’t be afraid to pick up a book… or at least your Kindle. Go outside, breathe deep (get some oxygen to your brain) and enjoy nature… simply AWAKEN.

As my own father passed away when I was just 8 years old, I have personally been faced with this very problem. I thought I had overcome this setback many years ago…but I was wrong. Back in July, my boyfriend got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. Even the thought of becoming ENGAGED caused uneasiness within every pore of my body. My answer reeked of my apprehension… “Someday”, I said.

I have come to this realization: Although I’ve been married before, the love between my spouse and I was always one-sided, with him doting on me and I, to be honest, not really giving a shit; I have never allowed myself to truly love, outside of that which I have for my children.

So now, my friends, it is time for me to change my ways. Whether this engagement turns into a marriage or not, I must allow myself to create a doorway in the wall I have built around my heart…and experience love for the first time. Because no one should go through life, missing out on the best the Universe has for them, simply because of past hurts and regrets.

So to all my fellow players, all of you who shy away from commitment, who cringe at the thought of allowing someone access to your guarded heart… I’m gonna give this experience they call “love” a whirl… Will you join me?

SEXY – LOVE, SEX & RELATIONSHIPS

“With an honest belief that we are not naturally created to be monogamous but rather, that is a choice that we make in the commitment of love, my advice has always been controversial but effective. In a society that is driven by all things sexual, it amazes me that discussion on healthy sexual topics is still considered taboo in many circles…” Read More

SAVVY – GLOBAL BUSINESS

“Although I am an advocate of “living in the now”, most of the greatest, global business icons in history have and always will be tomorrow thinkers. After observing and analyzing many of the most successful people in the world, there are few common threads…” Read More

SPIRITUAL – UNIVERSAL SPIRITUALITY

“If you look at the history of human behavior, inherently, we have felt the need to conform. Conform to family values, society, religion, government and more. If you think about it, most everyone wants to be a part of status quo, some group, clique, cliche, or organization. This is what I like to call ‘The Case of Lost Identity’…” Read More
