Racial Wealth Gap

        Trying to rely on some good ole media to lift some the procrastination I've been feeling for weeks. For the most part the research I reviewed today helped. One day soon I would like to be an entrepreneur providing communities with empowering perspectives on the world around them. Some of those ideas will stem from a outreach programs for the youth and young adults that are not in favor of traditional school teachings. Some of these meetings will have influential key note speakers that will raise awareness in our heritage, gaining and keeping our black power as we move toward a new world order.
    I found Tai Lopez through a YouTube ad who coincidentally spoke at a Ted X event a few months ago. He overcame difficult times by holding onto his entrepreneurial instincts by taking the necessary risk towards success. He now lives in Beverly Hills in a huge house with a Lambo and a Ferrari. Great right?
    With his story he also dropped knowledge about how we too can overcome the pressures of life in a 67 day step towards success and taking charge of the three simple keys of life: Know Life's Purpose, Win friends and Influence People (which is actually a book) and Motivation - Procrastination. He also shared his idea of successfully climbing a "pyramid of wealth". All of which I paid attention and wrote notes for myself.
   There comes a time in one's life when coincidence isn't just something that happens in life. It actually happens on purpose. Today started off great. Slowly turned boring, made a left turn at angry and now I've somehow ended up researching how to create a business plan, executive summaries, and market analysis. Today was ordained by the Most High which means no matter how much I procrastinate He will guide me back to where I belong... which will still have me question, "what street am I on again?"
     Even though everything Tai Lopez spoke about was right on I couldn't help but question the validity of his success. In other words, THAT WORKED FOR YOU, BUT WILL IT WORK FOR ME AND MY DARK SKINNED BROTHERS AND SISTERS??
   So, after a couple revised Google searches we land in Racial Wealth Gap given to the public by Forbes.com under the personal finance division. Basically, the Latinos are winning by a 2% homeowner margin, 20% of us complete a four year college degree, while white families receive A+ status all across the board. Check the link and see for yourself. Not just for this information but for yourself in the power of wisdom, knowledge and understanding in all areas of blackness.
  
  Take a look at the images below. The colorful pyramid is a concept drawn from Abraham Maslow who wrote about human motivation through psychology. The black and white image is a more specific run down of the stages as one may journey through toward enlightenment. If you use these images throughout your life you'll soon realize each phase repeats itself in different ways. The road to self mastery isn't an easy one but with enough patience and willingness to grow the route will become easier.
