Be passionate about what you do. It will definitely make the work more enjoyable and fulfilling.
Live as though everything is rigged in your favor.
Since each next moment has not yet come, has yet to be lived, because it is the future; you create the scene. It is your script to write and act / live out.
Remember, it all begins with a thought.
Always say what you mean and mean what you say.
Express how you feel.
Don’t ever apologize for being real. Always be humble.
What you do or how you live your life will inspire some and annoy others.
Do it anyway…

YOUR FUTURE AHEAD IS A CONSTANT WORK IN PROGRESS.
You are the artist of your own masterpiece… a representation of your life. The choice of tools or instruments…colours, whether it is oil- or water-based…The type of paint palette, the size of brush and the number of brushes used… The brush to canvas can be applied with gentle or stronger strokes. Every item used, even the type of canvas each is a representation of a part of your life.
No qualifications needed. No past experience needed.
Every stroke of the paint brush to canvas creates your masterpiece.
What if there is a small mistake in a choice of colour or a brushstroke? You just paint over it. It may leave a blemish or two or many in your masterpiece. Never mind. It is your masterpiece that you are willing to rise when you fall…that you are willing to start over with a “never give up” attitude.
No one can copy your masterpiece, not even replicate it by use of technology because the thoughts and emotions that you invested into this work is yours and your only.
Your masterpiece is evolving on a constant.
Everyone is an artist. There are no wrong masterpieces. There are no imperfect masterpieces. Everyone’s work is unique to that person. Which makes each masterpiece priceless.

When your eyes are not on your goals, they are on distraction.
You’ve got dreams to chase. Eye on the ball.
VISUALIZE YOUR HIGHEST SELF. THEN SHOW UP AS THEM.
DO NOT FOLLOW WHERE AN EXISTING PATH MAY LEAD. IT MAY BE A SAFER JOURNEY IN LIFE. HOWEVER, THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES THAT THIS WILL BE THE BEST DESTINATION FOR YOU.
BE A TRAILBLAZER! GO INSTEAD WHERE THERE IS NO PATH AND LEAVE A TRAIL. THE MOMENT AHEAD, WHICH IS UNKNOWN AND HAS YET TO COME; IS YOURS FOR THE MAKING.

I am learning to love
the sound of my feet walking away
from things not meant for me,
to things that are.
It’s got rhythm.

Life is how you make it out to be. It is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.
It is entirely up to you. You choose.
