Into the Morning Sun

"You have to shift your thinking to see that others' achievements actually create an opportunity for you to win as well.

Success for anyone or any group is ultimately a positive contribution to all people and all groups as it provides validation of the possibilities to all.

That is why people become so inspired when they witness some great victory or performance. Seeing success in action invigorates us all and reduces our belief that our ability to accomplish something is “impossible.”

-Grant Cardone, 10X Rule

A Change in Your World, Must First Start with You.

“How do I change?

If I feel depressed I will sing.

If I feel sad I will laugh.
If I feel ill I will double my labor.
If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.
If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.
If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.
If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.
If I feel incompetent I will think of past success.
If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.

Today I will be the master of my emotions.”

― Og Mandino

Root of Love

“If you realize that you’re the root of the problem,

then you can change yourself, earn something and grow wiser.

Don’t blame other people for your problems.”

― Robert T. Kiyosaki -Rich Dad, Poor Dad

Through the Thicket,

He crept.

"I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars."

-Og Mandino

Until We Meet Again...

Feeling a bit abstract.

Remember, seek beauty at all times. It can be found in the most unconventional of places. One might ask, “Is toilet paper beautiful?”, or “Is a piece of hair beautiful?”.

And the question would be, it’s up to you.

It’s personal.

And it may not be that object that is beautiful, maybe more so the story that the photograph as a whole is telling. I think that’s where the beauty is at. It’s not a single flower. It’s the flower that started as a seed and has pushed it’s way up through the Earth into the Sunlight and is soaking up water, and starting to bloom! It’s the story of that flower that is beautiful. The struggle, the existence, the love, the pureness, the joy… That’s where you can find beauty.

Challenge yourself to seek beauty in peculiar places.

Ready, Set, GO!
