“The hearts and minds of youth are directed by the stories they hear, the stories they tell and the stories they live. Riot vs protest? Good cop vs bad cop? Guilty of a crime vs guilty of a skin color? It’s all about the story. We have to transform the stories if we want to transform lives!” J Loren Norris ARE YOU A FATALIST? ARE YOU A FUTURIST? ARE YOU A CREATOR OF YOUR FUTURE?
“The hearts and minds of youth are directed by the stories they hear, the stories they tell and the stories they live. Riot vs protest? Good cop vs bad cop? Guilty of a crime vs guilty of a skin color? It’s all about the story. We have to transform the stories if we want to transform lives!” J Loren Norris The number of stories being generated from TikTok to Facebook to YouTube to Fox News to CNN, MSNBC and more from the events of 2020 alone are enough to fill books and hard drives for decades to come. In isolation, these stories all create a significant narrative about the generations alive today. On the one hand, we will be remembered as the generation still struggling with issues a Civil War should have ended close to 100 years ago. On the other hand we are recognizing and making marked moves in the social recognition of new identities only accepted in the social lexicon in the past 24 months. It is a volatile and confusing time to live in. It is an arousing and stimulating time of social consciousness and heightened awareness. It is a time when anything is possible, transformation abounds, and opportunity to rewrite the future rests in the finger tips of every soul alive today. It is a time, like none other which proves, its all about the narrative. The story matters. For all of of the course of human existence, history has been written by the victors. The conquering armies and their kings have told and retold the stories of the battle field, their exploits and their accomplishments. The voice of the conquered has been suppressed, silenced or even erased. (Consider the destruction of monuments - the purpose of their existence and the reason for there demise.) Today, like no other time in history, the messages from the battle field are being recorded and reported. Real. Raw. Unfiltered? These battle front stories are being told from both sides with equal fervor and expediency. The narrative sways by the moment. Laws ignored. Laws broken. Laws rewritten. The fabric of society truly rests in the balance of unfolding events. I believe there are nefarious actors who are using this emotional energy, the outrage of injustice and the cries of the unheard to gain ground undetected. Its not over yet. We need not give up or surrender the cause. We still live in a nation worth fighting for. But we need to guard, protect and invest in the narrative. We need to be truthful about the stories of the past and hopeful in the stories of the future. If you want a better life. Tell a better story.

Insuperable Vision Workshop - Audio Download with worksheets Day after day I meet people who are struggling just to make ends meet. They are adrift in this vast sea of humanity holding on to their job, their family, their home, and their car with all they've got. They see their life experiences and education as the last hope to find their purpose and identity. They gather, fill and stuff all the money they can into every opportune investment. Yet they are empty, frustrated, angry and just plain fed up. We have all experienced that moment; when we find yourself stuck in traffic, yelling at random strangers to do what they wish they could... but can't... GO! The idea that life can be better than it is today is like the flame of a candle fighting for all its worth to stand against the tempest. We all want a better life. Even when life is good, we want more. That idea, that flame, is the hope that lives in the hearts and minds of all of us. Should that flame be extinguished, hope itself may well go with it. It is the rut of hopelessness that traps many would be shining stars and buries that glow from the sight of the world. It is the rut of hopelessness that extinguishes that flame. Lives that would have been a beacon to the wandering are lost at sea themselves. Inspirations of success that would have been the voices crying out to all who suffer are hidden away in their own stale lives, they cannot share who they are or what the world needs from them. It is my passion to help you find your purpose. I want to see you become successful, but more than that to be free! Without vision people perish. Without vision, we seem to be lost, mind numb robots following the herd into the abyss that is everyday life. We do not live intentionally without a vision for our future. We do not live passionately without a vision for our future. We do not live productively without a vision for our future. We certainly cannot lead without a vision for our future and a vision for the future of those we lead. This audio course will inspire and instruct you to create a vision which will become a significant driving force in your life. Author
