The Importance Of Patience

Hey Guys!!

I apologize for not posting a new blog yesterday, but I'm sure you didn't notice because you were too busy being great. Excellent! It's only Tuesday and already I am piled to my ceiling with assignments and projects. My business is still developing, so I'm constantly working to perfect products. If you guys are interested in improving your brand, please check out my website here. Okay, enough of that. Even though I'm swamped, I've kept a clear mind. My objective everyday is to improve my craft. We have to do so in order to remain proactive. Remember, we are aiming to be our best selves everyday and every moment!

Now, if I'm being completely honest, I am a bit stressed because there is so much that I want to share with you guys. My vision. My designs. My story. The thought wires me, but I have to calm down. There is a quality that all dream chasers must have in order to steer clear of heavy disappointments, unnecessary risks, and spiraling confidence. That quality is patience.

Patience is a skill not many are born with. As I told you earlier, I was a very introverted child. I constantly held my tongue on certain topics and it made everyone think that I was a patient person. That wasn't true. Patience is not the lack of taking action; rather, it's knowing when to take action. So, at this point you should know what today's question is. Even so, I want you to think about it fully.

Ready?...

Are you patience enough for your dreams?

Now remember patience is not waiting for the moment to be perfect. A patience person is strategic. When we were kids, my friends and I would line up dominos and knock them down. Our creative side, would force us to line them up in the form of the moai statues or the initials of our names. Sometimes they would fall prematurely; other times,  halfway through building. If we lack patience, we often jump the gun and make vain the time we invested in our goal. But that's okay. Oftentimes, out of fear of making a move too soon, we waited too long and missed an opportunity.

Again, that's okay. We learn most when we make mistakes. Mistakes are vital to learning. But once we understand, we have to implement what we know. We have to adjust our dominos one by one which takes time and effort; but, when done right, the end results justify all the troubles we undergo.

Be diligent, confident, and patience everyday. Mold yourself to have the characteristics of a go-getter. When the time arrives for you to take your dreams to the next level, you'll be ready. You earn everything you receive. So, continue to work, fail, learn, and grow. Be prepared, and above all, patient. Your journey is long, but your body is able.

Slow and steady.

How To Overcome That Monday Feeling

Hey Guys!! Okay, okay I know what you're thinking. It's Monday. Melancholy Monday. And you're probably still shaking off the effects of a well spent weekend. But it's go time now and you need to transition from "Weekend You" to "Working You." I'm going to jump the gun and ask you the million dollar question now. And when you read it, please don't laugh, just humor me, okay? Ready?... Why replace your fun side with your formal side? The obvious answer is that the workplace is no place for play, but it is a place that should bring you joy. When I was in middle school, my principle always gave words of wisdom every morning on the intercoms. One piece of advice that he pressed on our developing minds was if we had a career in what we loved, we'd never work a day in our life. As a twelve year old, not working ever in my life in exchange for a happy career sounded like a pretty good bargain. So that's what I've aspired to do. ...

Believe In The You Of Today

Hey Guys!! First off, how was your spring break? I hope you all enjoyed your time resting and working on your tans. Now, have you had your coffee and newspaper? Unwanted traffic? Loaded with assignments or a major project? Great. Welcome back. I want you to take these next few weeks like a grain of salt. Yes it's Sunday and tomorrow is the day we get back in the shop and set the tone for the week. We've learned how to rid ourselves of the Monday Blues . Today is no worse than tomorrow; better yet, it's as good as yesterday. This week will be a challenge, but you are always up for a challenge. Obstacles are how we polish our character and we want to be dynamic. One obstacle we haven't really acknowledge is the person you see every morning after washing your face. No, not your spouse, it's you. We are our greatest critic, and at times our own demise. Why? Because only you know exactly what you go through. Your daily battles don't always end with triumph....

Go Further Than Ever Before

Hey Guys!! I hope you are having a great weekend. It's finally heating up. Time for buzzing bees to awaken the beauty beneath budding flowers under the warm rays of Spring. And if you're anything like me, it's also the time to hit the pool. Yesterday when I was swimming, I suddenly had a moment. Lately, I have been in a state of reflection about my career aspirations. My biggest question has been why on earth do I want to do something that know one I know has ever done before. And I know I am not alone here. There are plenty of us out there stepping in uncharted waters. Sometimes before we even know how to swim. But despite our initial knowledge, plunge into the waters head first and flow with the foreign current that immediately wraps us in familiarity. And no one else understand why. perhaps it's for our good or their lack of full support. That shouldn't matter. The only opinion that should weigh heavier that an anchor is your own. As you recall in our blo...
