There's a Difference Between Being a Writer and Being an Artist
I’ve written all my life. I guess everybody has. You learn to write in school and then you don’t really stop; filling out forms, taking notes, scribbling down phone numbers on the back of envelopes and writing shopping lists in dog-eared notepads.

Me, finding joy takes no 'time' at all.
While going through the images of Artist "Amber Vittoria," I was having an issue finding the perfect image to explain the little joys I find in life. I am happy to say I found the right image. It is a watch, but not just any watch. Amber Vittoria wrote on her Instagram page Quote: "Time To Grow," a collaboration with @skagendenmark for their new Signatur Sketchable watch is a reminder to seek comfort in the pace at which the universe wants us to evolve, however fast or slow that may be. #mySKAGEN #ad, Unquote.

True Greatness
You don't need a revolution to feel your body come to life suddenly. You don't need to own a huge mansion to feel the brightest light from heaven shine on you. You just need to be in communion with yourself. The peace with which you dream so much comes from the purest part of your heart. You don't need a revolution to find the magic of the universe that is contained in something as simple as a drop of water. The universe is something so simple and at the same time so complex that it allows you to enjoy its greatness in all the little things that surround you.

How To Keep Creating Even When you Don't Want To
Feeling your creative self slipping away in the rush of life? Every day is a new set of responsibilities that leave us with little time to do all the things that matter most. We are torn between creating the life we really want while still continuing to "adult". I'll admit I've let my creative self wither away due to feeling unmotivated and not putting what I love into practice on a daily basis. My writer self kept being forgotten in the midst of the chaos. Every creative person knows that without practice the skills we once knew get harder. I, as a writer, left this blog alone for nearly a year without writing a single word. I had purchased a computer that would allow me to write effortlessly. I had all the tools at my fingertips yet I used it to waste time watching Netflix, and YouTube or scrolling endlessly on social media for hours at a time when I could've spent that time writing and creating content that would matter to people. How do you keep yourself from distractions so that more of your time is spent honing your art, music, writing, photography, etc?

Punching My Way Through Life
Everyday I see people say they fight to get up in the morning. How do they fight? Mentally, Emotionally? I agree. I do the same. But I realized that there are things in life you actually need to fight sometimes. Your struggles, your depression, your anxiety. Everyday people will face bullies in their school or workplace. People put you down because they are not happy with themselves. You stand your ground and look them in the eye. You often imagine the bell ringing in your head and you hear, "Round 1".

Open Letter to my fans, and NWA fans.
"You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending." - C.S. Lewis. Momentum is everything in this business; many a top talent has been deprived of showing the world just who they can be simply from the inability to create or maintain it.

Stay Motivated - The Locus Rule
A study was conducted in 1998 at Columbia University by a professor Claudia M Mueller, she took a large group of fifth graders and had them work on numerous puzzles by themselves now these were very challenging puzzles but regardless of how well each child did, he or she was told that they scored very well that they did better than most of the other kids, afterward half of these students were told that they scored high because they worked hard while the other half were told that.....

Fear is an illusion
I find myself climbing a ladder and as I look up, I realize I have so much further to go. I am not afraid of heights, but I am nervous to look down. I only have a few more feet to go before I reach the top when the word “breath” comes to mind. I can feel the warm breath of air release from my mouth as my hands grab onto the next bar of the ladder and my feet push me upwards.

Why We Need To Be Wrong
Growing up, many of us probably remember a time when our parents were the smartest people in the world. They knew the solutions to all our problems, and they could take on any situation. But eventually, we began to realize that they didn't have all the answers. In our rebellious teenage years, we likely realized that not only were they occasionally wrong, but more often than not they told us to disregard their errors, and take their opinions as valid prima facia. However, despite how young people often see adults as authoritarians, their life wisdom more often than not proved them correct when it really counted. Finally, when we become adults ourselves, and the people who have guided our lives have grown old and grey, it finally dawns on us. Those adults were just like we are, and nobody really knows exactly what they're doing.

There is no competition!
In life we all seem to have this way of looking at other peoples lives and comparing their own life to someone elses and its been made easier to do this now because of social media. We scroll through Instagram and see beautiful women with brand deals,who are building their own companys and going on amazing life changing hoildays and wonder how and why that isn't us or guys see other men buliding companys and getting amazingly expensive cars and having the hot girlfriend that everyone dreams off and wonders why it not them. Here's the thing that could be you. It'll take hard work and you'll need to educate yourself on business and investing, there will be bumps in the road and days you wanna give up but you get there but at the end of it all you will realise you were only in competition with yourself, you had to better yourself in order to be the better version and bet your old self at life.
