Part 1- Invent yourself then reinvent yourself



Do you ever wonder if there is more? Like right now in this very moment, you are not living up to your potential?
What is it exactly that you should be doing? Do you know?
Change begins by questioning... questioning everything. Why do you do what you do? Why do you say the things you say? What do you see yourself doing 5 years from now? Is what your currently doing contributing to helping you get there?

Paint a picture in your head. Think about a place where you are doing what you love. A place where money doesn't hinge on what you do. Everything in life is free right now. Where would you be? 
Stay focused on that place. Now think, what do you want to be surrounded by? Are there big palm trees and a beautiful ocean view in your mind? or maybe snowy trees and a small candle lit cottage, perhaps your place of solitude isn't even on earth. For all i know you could be thinking about floating around in space! 
Remember nothing in this picture we are painting right now is unattainable. 

"Being realistic leads to mediocrity" -Unknown

You got your place; you've got your surroundings, now the last piece to the puzzle. 
What are you doing with your time? Are you just lying on a beach? Are you snowboarding down a mountain? Are you building shelters for homeless? Opening up your dream dog grooming facility? What are you doing!? 

Once you've decided what you’re doing in this picture, ask yourself- Do I love doing this?

Every day in "the real world" as some would call it, we float by doing a million and ten things we don't want to be doing. And when we do them, chances are you're thinking about what you'd rather be doing. Am i right or am i right? 

Who says you can't do this or you can't do that? Last time i checked, we as individuals were in charge of our own lives. If you aren't doing what you love, right now, it's because you are choosing not to. We all have a choice. A choice to stand up and get what we want out of life or we can choose to let life take the reigns and we will just go through the motions. Like a fragile, old, rusty robot. 

I wish i could sit here and tell you that doing what you love was easy. It's not. It's scary, and challenging, overwhelming at times. The more you go through the process of change and self revelation, the more you will see how small your circle of people is about to get. And word to the wise- that's not a bad thing. 
  
Dream. Dream fucking big. 
Dream so BIG that it fills the room, dream so big that your eyes radiate with light because you're so passionate about it. I don't know how else to put this- just get fucking excited about your life. 
Don't just live, feel it in your soul, breathe it with every breath you take. Make your life so meaningful to YOU that out of all the excuses you've got in that handy dandy notebook of yours you can't think of any reason to go back to that stale, out dated, waste of time life you were "living" before.

How do you do this? Well, everything begins with an idea.  And don't go telling me the well is dry and you're fresh out of ideas or that the ideas you do have aren't good enough. There is no such thing as a bad idea, because you can't cap creativity.

Our Minds Distort Our Mirrors

When you look in the mirror what do you see? Are you happy or do you stand there and pick yourself apart body part by body part, wishing you saw something different?  Here's the thing- in this new social media era, somehow the concept of body image has been so insanely distorted that truth be told no body really knows how THEY want their body to look. All they see is what SOCIETY thinks it should look like. Last time I checked other people didn't live your life, you do.  All these new online apps come out and the majority of the world sits on these apps scrolling through seeing how happy everyone else is, how 'in shape' they are, that being lean is the only type of sexy... and about 9 million other ridiculous concepts about what to eat, how to live, how to look etc...  When let's be real here- what you see in photos is not always how it actually is. It's an image of what they want you see about them or their life.  In my opinion there is no such thi...

The 5 Second Decision

“You will never”... how many of you have been told that, said that or worse, believed in that? Who you become; what you have, what you think and feel these are all things that are based around one capability. A capability I might add, that we all possess. This is the ability to make a decision. Not a decision for your parents, your siblings, your friends, but for YOU. It’s that simple. You see something, you go for it. You want something, you do everything you can to achieve it. You’re probably going to sit there and tell me, it’s not that simple. There are a thousand and ten variables that come with making an informed decision.   What is being “informed” anyway?? If you’re the type of person who says this- you have been living a life of excuses. Making a decision is simple. Simple doesn’t mean easy. Someone once said, “Indecision means the door is still closed.” Meaning- you are closed off to opportunity.   You are stuck in a small frame of mind. That being s...

Broken Glass Poem

Through your eyes, The glass wall shatters, And piece by piece, Suddenly nothing else matters, The broken shards, Are stained with red, And nothing but sorrow, Is filled in your head, The fractured glass, Digs wounds in your soul, With the feelings of misery, That are taking their toll, Pierced by pain as the glass cuts deeper, Sitting and waiting for a miracle peacekeeper, Searching for signs of change to occur, And hopes of this all becoming a blur, Swept away with hope, And brought to clarity, A save haven for peace, And ultimate tranquility, A new life has started, With no broken glass in sight, For you have pulled through the darkness, To see the sunlight.
