True Justice for Society by R E Smith

Image
True Justice will prevail.  Society is riddled with immoralities and lawlessness and this has become increasingly common almost as if it is the norm for society to behave like they are in a cinematic universe of GOOD versus EVIL or the Law versus Society. The lines of morality, truth, and integrity have become blurred that people no longer realize what is right or wrong in society. The moment a crime is committed and the Justice System acts speedily and without hesitation, we hear the cry echoing through our communities WE WANT JUSTICE but what is justice without integrity? And how can justice be carried out in a society when people have lost their way? When did it become the norm to challenge the law even when it is working for our own good? What is Justice?  Justice is referred to as lawful or righteous actions. It also indicates what is morally correct or the right thing to do. Most scholars and religious practitioners emphasize the need for justice and fair treatment for all men.

Developing Success Habits by R. E. Smith

Many people work all their lives with the hope of becoming successful but only a few achieve success. This is because they have no clear vision of what they want their success to be thus making it increasingly difficult to reach the pinnacle of success. To become successful we must develop the ability to stick to our goals and aspirations and remember that stability is the hallmark of success. Oftentimes our failures are due to our own inconsistencies as we are not disciplined enough to stick to our own desires. For the purposes of this lesson, we are going to focus on how we can develop our success habits. What is Develop?  The term develops in this context refers to carefully nurturing and cultivating the characteristics needed to grow the right tools to become successful. This definition highlights the fact that our unique characteristics and personalities have much to do with our growth and development as successful human beings.

The Cry of the People by R. E. Smith

It was Marcus Mosiah Garvey that said "There shall be no solution to this race problem until you, yourselves, strike the blow for liberty.” We are living in a society that is riddled with moral and social injustice. Society is going through a process of moral decay and it is moving so rapidly that social scientists have no idea as to how to stem this social pandemic. The state at which the value system is rapidly disappearing is a serious cause for concern. The "Powers" pretend as if they are unaware of this issue that has crippled us as a people. The fact of the matter is that we have allowed the popular culture, prejudice, and racial discrimination to take root in society and everyone has a right to advocacy, equality, and free speech but limited social statues or guidelines are emphasized to hold us accountable for our actions. Systems of Accountability The greatest breakdown begins with the Family, Religion, and the Education System as these social institutions

Dream Chaser: Six Steps to Accomplish Your Goals

Be Persistent  "The greatest challenge in life is sometimes learning to believe in yourself".  R. E. Smith. Don't waste your time trying to accomplish someone's idea. Instead use your time to chase after your dreams and become a Dream Chaser. Oftentimes individuals put aside their dreams and goals because they were introduced to an idea by a friend or colleague. Putting your time and effort into accomplishing another person's idea will result in you "killing your dreams". Let me make this perfectly clear, there is nothing wrong with helping others to accomplish their goals and aspiration because our aim should always be to assist others to grow and develop but try not to sacrifice your dreams chasing a vision that does not align with your plans. For the purpose of this lesson we will examine who is a Dream Chaser and six ways to accomplish our dreams.

The Wisdom of Life by R. E. Smith

 Each life is Sacred Our lives are made up of countless experiences and like all living things, we pass through various stages of growth and development. Many scholars and medical practitioners argue over the exact moment when life begins. Though this is important it may not be the easiest thing to argue because it is subjected to countless opinions and views. Nonetheless, let us examine a few perspectives put forward by individuals and religions about life and when it truly begins. What is Life?  Life is often referred to as the essence of our being that innermost part that makes up our state of consciousness. It takes into account our spiritual, physical, and emotional development. These are the qualities that separate us from other species and this is what it means to be human. Our ability to think, reason, and solve complex problems sets us apart from all other life forms. This ability is referred to as knowledge, understanding, and emotional intelligence. When does Li

 The New Dawn Change is the only thing in life that is constant. Our world is going through an unprecedented change and it will never be the same again as we approach the New Age of Reformation and as these changes continue to unfold we will learn to appreciate the "New Normal" and try our best not to be left behind. The age of technology is thrust upon us and we have no alternative but to rise to the occasion and face the issues of this challenging and revolutionary period in human history. The Digital Renaissance is unfolding and the laws of adaptability will once more play a vital role in shaping our existence. The process of natural selection will once more come to the forefront and only those equipped with the knowledge of the changes in technology will be able to cope and emerge triumphantly. What is Natural Selection? Natural selection is an evolutionary theory that is expounded on by Charles Darwin. It focuses on the process by which organisms better adap
