What Is Happening to Me?: Adaption Intelligence (AQ)

By Derrick L. Mitchell MPA

The fact that you are still here, breathing . . . stop thinking negative and reprogram your mind with positivity. Enhance your understanding of who you are and whose you are. All of us have been allotted this dressing room called Earth for a specific time. It's simple. On a tombstone is a birthdate, death date, and then there is a small dash in between the words. "That's your LIFE and that's how short it is. You are the Master of your fate the captain of your soul." As a man thinks, so is he. The subconscious does not know the difference between good / bad. All it knows is what you repeatedly tell to yourself over and over and over. If you plant a pear seed, you cannot expect for an apple tree to grow. Meaning, you reap what you sow. If you sow "I'm beautiful, I'm intelligent, I'm greater than my biggest mistake, I'm more than a conqueror." The brain will respond, the body will eventually carry out what the subconscious is transmitting from your thoughts. In retrospect, if you tell yourself negative thoughts, the same process will repeat itself. You are the sum total of all your collective thoughts. The only enemy is the enemy of not Adapting! "I AM MY only competition in the words of my dear friend" Ivan Royce Kennedy. Chapters 1 to 6 unfolds the early years. Searching for self-identity, trials, and errors looking for love in all the wrong places. Chapters 7 to 8 is the turnaround. It takes a village to raise a child is now applicable and demonstrated in the transformation from being a damaged adolescent into a "one day one step walking by faith" and not by sight empowered young adult. Managing Your Emotion. The Destination is the Journey!

About the Author

This is my day, and nothing is going to stop me! I would like to give special thanks to all the life-changing events that shaped my direction and being to what it is today. I am grateful of every failure, disappointment; and for the people who walked out of my life is the production of who you really are being tested. No weapon formed against you shall prosper.

To my children E'Monie, Nia, and Noah in a world full of copycats, be original. Nobody can pay you better than you can pay to yourselves. To my mother, Delores Mitchell, and to my father, Jerome Crews, I exist because of you cultivating me as God's child. To every human encounter that I have ever had during my journey on this road called life… I say thank you all!

Preface

Vision, Purpose, and Goals

What defines you? If you know who you are, then you know who you are not! The predicament that you are in right now does not define your destiny!

Are you willing to do the things today that others won't do? In order to have tomorrow, the things that others won't have? Is the question I asked myself before I began this journey to discover the Six Degrees of Separation between the living and the dead?

Make discipline a major force in your life. Narrow is the path. Few that find the way.

Make it okay to fail. Eighty-five percent of people allow their fear of failure from allowing themselves to succeed. Anything that is worth doing is worth doing badly.

You don't have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great! If you run now, you will always run.

knowledge. As a man think, so is he! He who graduated yesterday and stops learning today, would not succeed tomorrow.

talent. Doing things successfully on what you love to do, and finding someone to pay you for rendering a service. Cultivate your talent (Luke12:34).

skill. Master your craft. Allow one hour a day to educating your craft and finding ways to improve in that area.

faith: to act on whatever your dream is. Believe in yourselves. Commit thy works unto the Lord and thy thoughts shall be established (Proverbs 16:3). Make it happen no matter what! Commitment in life changes for you! Socrates said, That the uncommitted life is a life unworthy of living.

To go back and be a better father.

To stop using drugs.

To invigorate you to revisit that commitment that you forgot about.

To decide that i am going to recreate myself.

To being reborn to a new state of consciousness.

If it is hard, do it hard, but keep your commitment to your commitment!

Stop negative thinking and believe in yourself.

My rent to stay on earth is my service to others.

Spend more time on yourself. You owe that to yourself. Learn how to say no. You are creating your own production. You are the star of the show. You determine you! Overcome the negative interpersonal thinking of yourself. Stand up for yourself! Watch the internal dialogue.

Call out liars. You will never learn if you are a liar… You will never make it if you are a liar… You will never take it if you are a liar. People walked out of your life who said you can't make it without them. Call out all lies. God is true, and every man is a liar. Abort every seed of negativity… Push it out!

Sell yourself every day on your abilities. #TrusttheProcess

The goals that you want to reach, according to your level of belief, will manifest itself in what you are doing.

If you don't love yourselves, it is impossible to love anyone else. Whatever we are demonstrating is a reflection of our subconsciousness; what we feel is what we deserve.
