A man's reach exceeds his grasp
We often say what we believe. That is how to tell what your mind is up to. Or how to know your foremost thoughts. It is this mind-space advertising spends so much to reach. It is top of the mind awareness and once they can get in, you think, feel and do what they push. It then seems like a personal or easy choice for you to buy what they sell; be it music, art, film, games, or fashion. It is a big bet for corporate media to direct your believe. However, it is by choice we all believe and sooner or later it rolls out of our mouth.

This World is Not Enough
Sometime ago two beloved people passed. The tragic departure of Anthony Bourdain and Chester Bennington yet hunt us. Our shock took to sadness, despair and questions. Why? What did we miss? We may have talked them out of it? But, matters of the heart stay secret to its bearer. We all thought they were OK? We were so wrong! Or maybe we just didn't listen. Now it's too late. They will be sorely missed. With their deaths and more like them, It does feel like this world is not enough.

Leboo, Wiwi & Mingati
Hey kids! I'm Leboo. I keep cows, but I hunt lions. I'm calm, fearless, and I won my honor when I speared a lion. But, when I was little like you, I did a thing no Maasai had done, "I made friends with a lion". This is our story.

How a 45-minute walk led to rest, relaxation, and a sound mind
8. Eight Hours Rest. Sleep on a Great Bed. Worry less. Drink water. Get 30 minutes daily walk. Turn meals into a 50% vegetable diet. Drop the carbs. Engage cardio. Build muscles. I ruminated on my resolutions as the count down to the New Year started. Hey, I had been here already? Sadly, I failed at the last ones because I didn't think of "resolutions as habits", which take time to stick. If I faced facts, it is because I didn't know how to. A memory hit me; "take it one step at a time", after all, don't the little drops of water, and little grains of sand create vast oceans and their beaches?

Truth. Fact. Lies That Hate Them
The truth is knowledge of a "fact". Which is proof or something not open to question. A suitable synonym, "reality" can be expressed as texture (touch) or experience (sense), not an idea of things, conditions, or situations. Truth isn't what we make it, that will be the "lie". The truth happens or it occurs - it's not created, just like any event. While our definition is in the "present-continuous tense", it helps to focus the life-span of truth on the present. It's accurate, authentic, and it is living. Let us illustrate this with a scientifically proven and accepted event.

The Universe Marvels Beyond Wonder. CREATED or MYTH?
The Universe Marvels! It is a wonder in perpetual repeated motion, it often restructures itself, expanding away outwards, long after its completion. It is that masterpiece that far exceeds anything in time. And "...we know only about 8% of the Cosmos," says Neil deGrasse Tyson. But, if a design serves to reveal its designer, then we have known the creation's author all along. Like any inventor, we know them through their handiwork. Although we yet have about 92% knowledge of the Universe still being discovered.

Why I Believe Actors Should Get a Personal Growth Coach!
Hi, I am Selsela Ashraty. One question that I recently got from a friend of mine was, “what did your personal growth coach do for you?” I thought it was a great question, and that's because I had a great answer with proof. You see, I was coached by Malcolm Nair. He is an Enlightenment Coach and founder of Guided Intelligence, and what I got from his coaching is most interesting, and with it, I have grown to be more in control of my life, in the areas that I had no control.

How I learned to start moving forward and stop moving backward
Like you, I grew up a child of two worlds; one internal, the other external. I took my inside world more seriously than I did the outside. Though it lay in front of me, it did feel less able than my imagination. I pushed the external world away, I ignored it. I soon faced the truth that it will not go away but become a conflict with my internal world. With age, failure, learning, regret, love, and forgiveness, I gained a new perspective - Balance.

What's a Film Without its Audience? How I Distributed My First FeatureTop Story - November 2020
I think the eventual question that dawns on the independent filmmaker today is: "How do you get an audience to see your movie?" It can be the worst feeling in this entire world, for any filmmaker, when he/she completes a grueling film project, only for its ultimate fate and end be a comfortable spot on a hard drive (which is where most independent film films actually ended up). Not to mention that it had only been watched by a few select friends and family. Thanks to free video sources like YouTube, which get such films some random kind of audience.
