Stop putting so much of your self worth into something you have created or something you have done. Creating art is very experimental and a lot of what you try is going to fail. This does not mean that you are a failure. Just because your art or skill is not at the level you want it to be does not make you any better or less of a person. Be comfortable with who you are and where you are on your journey. Even when you are proficient at your craft people will still not like it. There will always be critics. There will always be hater. There will always be people trying to bring you down to their level..

Blog #149 – Road Map to Happiness
You must commit to live your life in a beautiful state and you must reinforce this commitment constantly. You will be tested throughout life so you must remind yourself what you want. Your mind is not designed to make you happy. It is design to make you survive. Your quality of life and your happiness is your responsibility. Once you have your survival needs figured (food, water, air, shelter) out then you can work on your happiness. Know and write down what will make you happy otherwise we will always be chasing the newest things we see on TV or advertisements. Have a road map to happiness.

Blog #147 – Gotta Risk it for the Biscuit
Put yourself out there and take risks. Nothing is going to come your way if you stay doing the same thing that you have always been doing. For things to change you have to change. Commit your all into progressing and improving yourself. The more you invest in yourself the better you will be for your career, your relationships, and health. Turn you should’s into musts and raise the standard for yourself (Tony Robbins) because you can do more than you think you can. You can do anything you put your mind to as long as you stay positive and are not afraid to fail. Failure is a prat of life and is only a lesson on the way to success. You must take calculated risks. If you fall then get back up. One day you will not fall and your dreams will come true. Take the time to make yourself great because it will be worth it in the end.

Blog #146 – Do it for yourself
Be one with yourself. Accept yourself for who you are. Forgive yourself for anything your holding on to. View everything as a learning experience. Take the time every morning to be grateful for who you are. Center you mind, body and spirit. Forgive those in your life may have wronged you. Thank them for teaching you a lesson. Show people the love that you wish to be shown. Take care of yourself so you can take care of others. Happiness is forgiveness. Do not hold onto guilt. Do not live a life in fear. Let go of fear and embrace love. If you need a helping hand then look at the end of your arm. If someone is struggling then embrace them. Show them love. The biggest jerk needs the most love. Stay golden. Stay in a beautiful state. Do it for yourself.

Blog #144 – Is Fear Holding you Back?
Fear is passion in disguise.
The fear feeling is never going to go away no matter how many times you do something that feeling will always be there. Instead of letting this feeling slow you down and intimidate you, use the feeling as motivation. Use this as a sign to remind you of how much you care and to do your best in spite of this paralyzing feeling.
Most fear unless it is actually life threatening is just your mind playing tricks on you. It is your ego thinking that you will become less than you are. The fear of rejection. The fear of failure. These are real fears but the worst is succumbing to these fears. Not taking the chance or shooting the shot leads to regret and “what if”‘s
Live a life with no regrets. Take chances!

Blog #143 – The Past is Easy and the Future is Hard
It is easy to reminisce in the past because it is tangible and has happened. It is easy for the mind to look back at the past. The past is full of many memories about relationships, family, hardships, friendships, and other moments. Think back at all the moments and if you made another decisions your life would be completely different now. I think of many moments and say, “What if I…” We all have many of these “What if” moments. It is easy to know what we would do now in these moments looking back.
It is hard for the mind to look at the future. The future hasn’t happened yet so the mind has to be extremely creative and make up a future. If you want to limit these what if moments then you have to know where you are going so you can make the right decisions in the transitional moments. This requires you to stop, take a moment and write out your plans for the future in every aspect of your life.
If you are depressed,
you are living in the past.
If you are anxious,
you are living in the future.
If you are at peace,
you are living in the present.

Blog #142 – How do you decide?
The power of decisions is not like any other that you posses.
In a single moment you have the power to change your life through a decision. A decision to keep doing something or to stop doing something will change the course of your life. If you are stuck in rut then you must make the decision to not accept the results you are getting.
“I can’t take it anymore!”
This is the beginning of change. Sometimes it is forced upon people by being fired or maybe a family emergency but there is always a single moment where you life will change directions. This doesn’t mean your life is going to get easier. In face it may get harder because you may have to restart a career. You may have to go backwards to move forward but it will get better. It will get better because you are following your heart and making decisions on what you really want and no accepting what is convenient . You must raise your standards for yourself.
