    3. Which Ghosts will Die with you? — The Luthas Corporation
    4. Managing Mistakes and Failures

    We’ve all gone through hard times. And we all get through them. However, some get through them better than others. So what is their secret? Most of it has to do with attitude. Here are 13 things to remember when life gets rough:

    1. What is, is.
    Buddha’s famous saying tells us: “It is your resistance to ‘what is’ that causes your suffering.” Think about that for a minute. It means that our suffering only occurs when we resist how things are. If you can change something, then take action! Change it! But if you can’t change it, then you have two choices: (1) either accept it and let go of the negativity, or (2) make yourself miserable by obsessing over it.

    2. It’s only a problem if you think it’s a problem.
    Many times, we are our own worst enemy. Happiness is really dependent on perspective. If you think something is a problem, then your thoughts and emotions will be negative. But if you think it’s something you can learn from, then suddenly, it’s not a problem anymore.

    3. If you want things to change, you need to start with changing yourself.
    Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world. Don’t you know people whose lives are chaotic and stressful? And isn’t that largely because they feel chaotic inside? Yes, it is. We like to think that changing our circumstances will change us. But we have it backwards—we need to change ourselves first before our circumstances will change.

    4. There is no such thing as failure—only learning opportunities.
    You should just wipe the word “failure” right out of your vocabulary. All great people who have ever achieved anything have “failed” over and over. In fact, I think it was Thomas Edison who said something like, “I did fail at inventing the light bulb, I just first found 99 ways that it didn’t work.” Take your so-called “failures” and learn something from them. Learn how to do it better next time.

    5. If you don’t get something you want, it just means something better is coming.
    That’s hard to believe sometimes, I know. But it’s true. Usually, when you look back at your life, you will be able to see why it was actually a good thing that something didn’t work out. Maybe the job you didn’t get would have made you spend more time away from your family, but the job you did get was more flexible. Just have faith that everything happens exactly the way it’s supposed to.

    6. Appreciate the present moment.
    This moment will never come again. And there is always something precious about every moment. So don’t let it pass you by! Soon it will just be a memory. Even moments that don’t seem happy can be looked upon as something that you might miss someday. As the country song by Trace Adkins says, “You’re gonna miss this…you’re gonna want this back. You’re gonna wish these days hadn’t gone by so fast….you may not know this now, but you’re gonna miss this…”

    7. Let go of desire.
    Most people live with “attached mind.” What this means is that they attach themselves to a desire, and when they don’t get it, their emotions plummet into negativity. Instead, try to practice “detached mind.” That means that when you want something, you will still be happy whether you get it or not. Your emotions remain happy or neutral.

    8. Understand and be grateful for your fears.
    Fear can be a great teacher. And overcoming fears can also make you feel victorious. For example, when I was in college, I feared public speaking (one of the top 3 fears of all humans). So I find it humorous now that not only do I speak in front of a group every day by being a college professor, I also teach public speaking! Overcoming fears just takes practice. Fear is really just an illusion. It’s optional.

    9. Allow yourself to experience joy.
    Believe it or not, I know way too many people who don’t allow themselves to have fun. And they don’t even know how to be happy. Some people are actually addicted to their problems and the chaos in them so much that they wouldn’t even know who they are without them. So try to allow yourself to be happy! Even if it’s just for a small moment, it’s important to focus on joy, not your hardships.

    10. Don’t compare yourself to other people.
    But if you do compare yourself, compare yourself with people who have it worse than you. Unemployed? Be grateful that you live in a country that gives unemployment compensation, because most people in the world live on less that $750 a year. So you don’t look like Angelina Jolie? Well, I bet there are more people who don’t than do. And you are probably way better looking than most people. Focus on that.

    11. You are not a victim.
    You need to get out of your own way. You are only a “victim” of your own thoughts, words and actions. No one “does” something to you. You are the creator of your own experience. Take personal responsibility and realize that you can get out of your hard times. You just need to start with changing your thoughts and actions. Abandon your victim mentality and become victorious. From victim to VICTOR!

    12. Things can—and do—change.
    “And this too shall pass” is one of my favorite sayings. When we are stuck in a bad situation, we think that there is no way out. We think nothing will ever change. But guess what? It will! Nothing is permanent except death. So get out of the habit of thinking that things will always be this way. They won’t. But you do need to take some sort of action for things to change. It won’t magically happen all on its own.

    13. Anything is possible.
    Miracles happen every day. Really—they do. I wish I had enough space to write about all the miraculous things that have happened to people I know—from healing stage 4 cancer naturally to having their soul mate appear out of nowhere. Trust me: it happens all the time. You just need to believe it does. Once you do, you have won the battle.

    • Dame Luthas is not just a name; it’s an embodiment of vision, resilience, and unyielding passion for human potential and social empowerment. For more than two decades, Dame has been a transformative figure in technology, humanitarian work, and leadership. His innate ability to dissect complex situations and discern untapped potential is not just a skill but a gift—a cornerstone that has guided his professional journey and philanthropic causes.

The Luthas Center for Excellence: A Tangible Legacy

Dame’s ultimate aspiration transcends conventional boundaries; he is not merely content with personal success or even societal accolades. The creation of the Luthas Center for Excellence serves as the magnum opus of Dame’s career. It encapsulates his diverse talents, empowering women and children through a plethora of programs ranging from mental health services to educational and career readiness initiatives. This commitment to uplifting lives resonates profoundly with Dame’s philosophy of expending all his “God-given talents” for societal betterment. In his words, he wishes to “die empty,” having given his all to the world.

The Intersection of Technology and Philanthropy

Dame’s credentials in the technology sector are robust. As the former Chief Information Officer and Director for Digital Health and Innovation at the World Health Organization (WHO), Dame was instrumental in migrating UN partner agencies to Microsoft Office 365—a task vital during the pandemic. His technological acumen, however, is not an isolated facet of his professional life; it synergizes with his philanthropic undertakings. Technology, for Dame, is another instrument to engender lasting social impact, both locally and globally.

    • Respond to requests for help. Doesn’t matter of you can or can’t help.. respond. Offer to talk, listen, whatever is in your power.. you never know what that person is considering.. your response could save a life. 

We all have said.. I’d rather die before asking for help or getting govt assistance. Don’t sleep.. shit can change for you in ways you’d never imagine. 

Less judgement. More mindful. You are a moment away from being in the same position. 

If you need help ask. Don’t worry about what people may think. Only the broken or once broken can relate to your pain.
    • Instead of checking Social Networks when you wake up... Read and Review - your written goals and dreams... Check your "vision board" photo album. Motivate yourself by reminding yourself - following other people

    • Question: I’ve been contemplating going back to school. But I really want to be a counselor. I am a certified life coach, but I think being licensed may give me more options in terms of ppl who can pay with insurance versus just out of pocket for services. 

Response: I think it’s dope. However, using a nonprofit, you can achieve the same goal - while employing others with similar ambitions. You can offer counseling right now, as long your body of work (blog, social media, podcasts) add value. In addition to offering hybrid seminars.. the money spent on school could be used to market, and obtain resources. Versus creating another unnecessary obstacle to impede your rate of success. 

Yes, you will experience the full spectrum of storms to test your commitment and resilience. Rain, hail, snow, and earthquakes.. but you will convert the storms into lessons that become jewels for your audience. 

Nothing builds confidence more than starting where you are right now. 

A majority of the people you help won’t have or had a support system. If you’re lucky you will NOT have a support system either.. but the best counselors and coaches can relate to myriad of challenges presented by others.

You are everything you need.
