Man, I’ve come to realize a lot of things as of late. Specifically, things about my dreams, my goals, and how it all is impacting my life. Some days it’s impacting it in a really positive and motivating way. Other days it’s impacting it in a negative and self-defeating kind of way. Regardless, the way and kind of impact it is having on my life, is influencing my overall state of being.

It’s crazy to think that I’m approaching my mid-20s, and while I have done a lot with my life, I still have so much more to do with it. So many more goals to reach, so many more dreams to achieve, and so many more opportunities to create and take advantage of. Life is short, but when you spend your life actively working towards something bigger than you, it seems like an endless loop of…happiness?

Happiness…it’s just a word but somehow has so much meaning behind it. It represents an individual state of being and is most certainly something we all individually seek after in life, should we choose to admit that or not. But what if I told you happiness can be and is, so much more than what we have always known it to be?

What if I told you happiness was nothing more than a figment of your imagination? That what we define as happiness is solely how we choose to recognize it in our own lives? What if I told you that happiness is not something you can identify in the presence of others, but instead something that you can only identify in the presence of yourself?

Happiness is a state of being, but it’s the state of being that you choose to live in. Self. Mind. Soul. The three different states of happiness that we as individuals have the opportunity and the power to exist in all at the same time. [Read more…]

Hi guys!

So lately I’ve been reminded of how important it is to allow yourself to undergo personal transformations. Even when they are uncomfortable. I’ve been stuck in this routine lately where I haven’t been putting my best foot forward due to the lack of results I’ve been expecting to see.

This has been an issue in multiple areas of my life. Some of those areas include my personal relationships, my job, my acting, and even in my self-care. Being stuck in this routine has put a huge damper on my mood lately, and as I’m sure you can imagine that has directly impacted my overall self-motivation.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how to get the fire started again. My conclusion? I need to remind myself that great things take time to develop. I can’t rush something great, I have to allow myself to have the patience to let it naturally unfold. So that’s what I’ve been working really hard at doing lately. Being patient with the things that I want in life, because in order to see the results I’m hoping for, I have to be willing to fight through the process.

So that’s exactly what I’m doing.

Do you find yourself thinking and feeling this way lately also? If so, no biggie. We’re all humans and it’s a part of human nature to be impatient with life at times. Even if you haven’t found yourself thinking and feeling this way lately, don’t take any emotions or feelings about anything you may be having for granted. There’s a reason behind everything we think, say, and feel.

Which brings me to my motto for the past couple of months. Something I have chosen to honor, acknowledge, respect, and live by.

“Life’s A Metamorphosis”. [Read more…]

Hey guys, how was your weekend and your Monday?

Mondays are always hard for me. It’s the start of the week and honestly it feels like the longest day of the week for me. I think it’s just because Mondays just happen to be the busiest days for me. I don’t mind it much, especially since I can’t skip Mondays (how awesome would that be!?), but it’s always a hardest day for me to get my week into gear. So, if you’re wondering, yes, my Monday was a tough one.

But I’m not here to bore you with my Monday stories. [Read more…]

Recently I talked about my sudden desire to fit in somewhere. You can read all about that here.  I’ll provide a quick recap though. I’m looking to really start building the foundation for what I want the rest of my life to look like. This includes healthy, happy, and dependable relationships. Lately I have been feeling as though I have been struggling with creating and building these types of relationships. Well, after writing about it, posting it, and getting it off my chest, I don’t feel that way anymore.

In fact I’ve come to realize two things. One, it shouldn’t matter whether or not I feel like I’m a part of the in crowd at work or not. Or if I’m a part of the in crowd anywhere for that matter! The field of work that I am currently in is not what I plan to do for the rest of my life. It’s not the profession I plan to pursue many years down the road, so I don’t necessarily need to start building those relationships and setting that foundation right now.

Yes, it’s always a great thing when we are able to come in contact with people, develop a relationship with at least one person, and have the pleasure and the blessing of carrying those relationships beyond the circumstances they were built under. But my main focus has always been, should, and will continue to be working towards making my dreams come true, and making sure my family is taken care of. I don’t need to be a part of the in crowd to make any of that happen. [Read more…]
