Remember all the people who were there for you when you were nobody and celebrate the love they gave you. These are the people that love you for who you are not what you have become. Take time to show them thanks and rejoice and relive the moments y’all had together. True friends are hard to come by so when you find some make sure you treat them right. These are the people that will keep you grounded. These are the friends that will always have your back and be there for you when you need them. Take care of these people.

Blog #135 – Stay Motivated!
Do whatever it takes to stay hungry and motivated. This is a tricky art and will require sacrifices. You will have to give up something, whether it be family, money, time, friends, or success. If you want to party every weekend you will have to give up time and money. If you want to be good at a skill then you will have to sacrifice friends and partying.
Motivation can come about in different ways. The people you work with can motivate you to do a better job. They can be entertaining and you enjoy coming into work everyday.
Competition can be motivating. You want to be better than the competition so you work hard and find ways to differentiate yourself.
Significance can be motivating. You want to be the best so you feel important so you find ways to stand out and deliver the best quality you can.
Learning and growth can be motivating. You want to be better than you are now so you do the work to make yourself better.
Love can be motivating. Love is driving you to be better to take care of yourself and your loved ones. It can never get old if you love what you do.

Blog #134 – First things First
The first thing you have to do is committ. Up until now you have thought about what you want and why you want it.

Blog #133 – Copy, Lie and Steal
Do not be afraid to copy, steal, replicate anything that resonates and inspires you to push your boundaries further.
Use things from everywhere whether it be musical, theatrical, writing, technical, social media, or educational.
We are all trying to get better at something so use everything you can to get better. No one will have the exact same inspirations as you so the more you copy from these sources the more uniquely you the end product will be.
The fastest way to learn is from those who have done it before. Figure out why it worked when they did it and how that can apply to what you are doing.

Blog #132 – Stay Clear of This
It is important to notice when you are distracted and go back to focusing on what matters most. People will veer you off course. People will bring you down. This might not be on purpose but no one wants to see you suceed as much as you do. You have to take care of all your own business first. You must do what needs to be done.
You must simply be. Be the superhero of your own movie. Be a person of action. Be the person that gets things done. Be the person you want to be. Stay focused by being you and staying true in what you believe in. Know your end goal.
Write down your own story and live it. Once you have a blueprint put it into action and live the life of your dreams.

Blog #131 – Macro Patience Micro Speed
Be patient and keep working hard. Work as hard and as smart as you possibly can. Work consistently without the need of praise. Work for self satisfaction. Take pride in what you are doing. Take pride in the quality of work you do. Take pride in the consistency of showing up to work every single day and giving it your all. Take pride in the passion you exude when you are accomplishing a task. Take pride in the finished product of work that you can share with other. Take pride in the results when they come.
The results you want will not be there immediately so have the patience and passion to keep working anyways. The results will eventually come but if you stay in the moment and do not let the result distract you from keeping on the day to day grind they will compound and get bigger.
