Deciding to work on being in my happiness wasn't an easy choice. There will be sacrifices and choices to shift in the direction needed. I understand there is so much to deal with in creating your own dream into reality. I hold onto the vision I have for many years. When your own family is negative and don't see it, I decided to back away even though I want to be closer. People change over time and become different then when growing up.I can not force change on my family. They have to be willing to want to shift and be a better person every day as a bench mark. In bringing the most important aspects of life is creating a lasting legacy.
Focus On Where You Are Going As The Goal
There will be times of challenge from all aspects from your family situations, personal relationships, your emotional state, and others. The main point is to focus and work on where you are going instead of where you are temporary at. It can be very stressful. Look at your situation as the testor on how patient you are and dedicated. Work on highly valuing your time instead of trading money for time. Everyone only has a certain limit on how much they have time left. Respect it by taking it seriously and once it is gone you will never get it back.You are worth the effort and dedication to put into yourself.
How Can I Help You? Instead of looking down on everyone.
I never understand where people look down on others who maybe wear certain clothes, drive certain vehicles, and others assets. We have so much more to do and add to life then only on the material possessions. The quality of your life and helping others will elevate everyone with you. You can't force anyone to think a certain way or do specific things, however you can influence them to want to naturally do it by opening their mind. Each person has their own story yet we all align in the foundation of being human. We all seek respect, appreciation, and fulfillment.
Your Habits Are Your True Values
What you spend your time doing is what your values are. Watch others in what they say versus what they are doing. We all have made mistakes and regret sometime or another from the past decisions. The main thing is you decide to change your daily rituals to project your success. Every successful person has had to evolve in order to have a greater life. Look at what you enjoy and can push yourself instead of focusing on the time you aren't working.
I met an old classmate from 17 years ago. She is stuck mentally where she is at. She regrets her decisions and being addicted to alcohol. I said to her, your past decisions are over with. The fact is now you have decided to change your life now. Now is better then never. I said to her, never based your happiness on someone else. I also said I see you as a person instead of you by addiction. I separate those who have dealt with addiction. I told her you need to find something to work on you enjoy the most in order grow and heal. If you have made mistakes you must forgive yourself to have a better life.
What Has Been Bugging You?
There have been times of where I am ready to complete a task or project. I think about it a lot since I want to accomplish it. Pushing my own limits is the type of life I see as how it is. I enjoy the goals to reach further. I make sure to chip away at it to have the satisfaction of completing it. Patience can be a challenge however when you look at it, we all have to wait for anything great to grow and flourish. Once you see what you have planted at a later time you will be so glad you choose to be willing to wait and see. Right when you don't think it is going to work out, it all shows what seeds you have planted.
Art Is A Expression In Physical Form
Art is more then just the material it is made out of. What so many people miss is what was the artist thinking and how can I relate to it. For myself, the art I do is for the world to be embraced by the ideas being presented. Art is so important to those in need such as the children in school who need someone to listen to them. Art is the vehicle to express their self instead of feeling so bottled up. This art has been there for me through the great and challenging times. When people feel significant through expression they will be more productive in society instead of destroying families by mass shootings and or property damage. Now is the time to enable the current generation and future generations to instill this self awareness and creativity we all seek. It brings honest happiness.
Seek Your Tribe
There will be those who get you and others who don't. When certain people don't get it since they choose to think small, don't take it personally. This is there personal choice. There will be times of when the one person you don't think will purchase from you actually will.
One time I was in a business meeting and the one person who kept on testing me and pushing me is the one who has been one of my biggest supporters. By the end of the meeting he purchased some work of mine. I didn't think he was going to purchase my work until he said he wanted these two prints. Then he came back at a later and said he knows a child who loves my work and will sell my art to his parent. What an amazing outcome and glad to give support back to this great man.
Expand Your Brand Through Sharing Your Story
Trust comes in due and persistence. Tell stories in which revolve around the one word you are based in at the core. Use this as your base to spread positive messages. Bring deeper simple meaning to what you have to offer. The story you share can help so many people. Be yourself, in your own story, share relatable situations for others to connect on a deeper level. In this period of time we have find ways to stick out and be personal when so many seem very artificial.
Facing Your Biggest Failures
Write down your biggest failures and addressing them head on. Use them as lessons to learn from. When you look at the most successful people in the world, all of them have had failures and sometimes major failures. How you see your failures will determine your outcome. At first, it is ugly addressing your failures and no one wants to own up to them. However the quicker you own up to your failures the stronger you become by being honest with yourself. Being honest with yourself, it will open up a new side yourself in which you didn't think was there. Feeling free from your past failures is so important to your mental health and general well being over the years. I know I have do this and it is not always pretty. It is worth your time to move past the guilt and into happiness.
Remembrance Of You - Life time
What do you want to be remembered as? There is a big question we all need to acknowledge this since everyone's days are numbered and no one knows until the time is up. What gift can you give and or do in your time? When you contribute to the world it brings a deeper fulfillment and purpose. You can decide to be different and be remembered or average and forgotten. i know you have much more in your every day life to accomplish. Yes we all have to do things we don't want to. It is a commitment to be a person of impact. Coming together, we are stronger.
