Living Life Or Taking Your Life Too Early

Today, someone made a story up in saying I am suicidal in which it is false. What is the point of giving up when I have given so much encouragement to so many people. Yes, in my late teens to almost my mid 20's I had depression. Releasing the hurt and trauma from my earlier years was a huge stepping stone to healing.

The question in which needs to be asked is, Do I really want to be known as the person who gave up? Do I want to inflict pain on my family and friends? No, I have so much more to live for. I have a purpose and much more to do.

The same goes for you. Your purpose will come when you least expect it to reveal it to you. Be open to understand your purpose instead of the easy way out of giving up. This all boils down to what do you want in your life. Take a look in the mirror and examine your life. Is where you are the place you desire to be in? If not, it is time to shift into the person and place you see yourself being in.

Being Human

In the present time, we go through hardships whether it would be a death, a mistake, misjudgement, loss of all different aspects. In the moment it is the most influential time. The question is, Would you view these situations in hindsight as though you are speaking to yourself in a comforting way and learning from each one?

For someone it can evoke strong emotion for each trigger. The whole ideas can haunt each person for a decades and potentially for a lifetime. For each individual this is all subject to powerful moments in their life. Understanding what has been learned from the situation is more critical then the at the moment it is happening. Healing is the starting point of knowledge.

What mistakes have you learned from? I would like to hear from you.

Use The Negativity Of Others To Propel You

My family says they believe in my business when they don't even have any clue how it works nor how much work it takes to put into it. All of my family, has either given up and or never even attempted in doing what they love. Yet they wonder why they aren't personally happy. I see my family and ask the question, Do I want to be in the same place as them at their same stage, No way. I have goals and momentum to go.

Years ago, my family said to me, I believe in you then questiond me later. What is the point of saying something in this context deemed meaningless. Why not base your words and actions in a meaningful and propelling intent. Use what people tell you, "You Can't Do This Or Do That?" to push you. I know it lights my fire up. Prove it to yourself you can accomplish what you set your mind to. Do all in which is required and more to get it. You are worth the effort, time, and investment of bring the idea you have in your mind to life.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

The Average Mental Plague

Too many people would rather disbelieve then to believe in anyone including their own self. Watch what others question are. The types of questions being asked are where they are mentally. Just because you don't believe something doesn't make it false. Open your mind to world of self belief.

The same notion goes with being a professional artist. People don't think they can make a living when they haven't  even don't a speck of research and believe only what they are (told). Artists are the only people who have failed. There are by far more business owners who have failed then artists. What it all comes down to is the mindset of learning instead of seeing failure as a final forever result.

If the artist is providing value for your business by displaying in your business, what doesn't matter if he or she does this professionally or not. The main point is the artist is bringing high value to your business and in a timely manner meanwhile being professional. I am here to help those in their weaknesses and have other people in where my weaknesses are.

Life Is Fragile. Decide To Do Differently

In hearing about so many people passing, it brings the question of "Am I  operating my life on my own terms?" Getting old doesn't take as long as you think. Years feel like seconds. Eventually it will be you in the person's place where you currently see them at. It is not about doom and gloom. The honesty with yourself is what matters.

Having empathy has its pros and cons however it does have a positive in seeing beyond our ownself. In seeing yourself from a different perspective in looking from outside into who you are is a whole new world too many miss from the daily busyness we associate with. In seeing this, your time becomes more valuable to yourself by the choices you make. What are you choosing to change today in order to live your life on your own terms?

For A Great Service, Give Acknowledgement, and Solid Tip

Once I went to this restaurant, I ordered a pizza. The server was very attentive and asking how everything is and yet not hovering ever 2 minutes. The place is pretty busy. The food was great and in a timely manner. The attitude of the server was positive. When the time came for the bill, I gave him a 100% of my bill. I told the young man, you need to go next door and teach them how to do service. I had to let him know how well he did service and show appreciation since there needs to be more of this all over.

The attitude of anyone giving service is a huge part of the whole experience. For one, giving eye contact, asking would you like anything else with a smile, checking on the customer every 8 minutes or so. Just have to read the customer and realize, how would like your service to be given to you? Both sides need to understand each side has a completely different life and one of them maybe going through a lot. Asking honestly, How is your day going and what can I do for you. People like to go where they feel welcome and at home. Reward great service and tell the server and cook they did a great job. Many times they feel under appreciate by their boss. You never know you could be making a bad day even better for them. What kinds of stories do you have you would like to share? I'd like to see your feedback.

Your Connections Are Worth More Then Money

 Remember your connections are worth more then money. Decide to make relationships a higher priority. Money will come in due time and developing trust. People purchase from you since they resonate with you. With all of these companies and commercials they lose touch with the person behind the logo. It all starts with the one person and grows over time.

The only way you will earn income no matter how much money it is, is by providing a perceived value along with the relationship. Too many people focus on the reward in material possessions and money when this all leads to an empty person over the long term. Being wealthy has it pros and cons. This is all depends on the each person. The money magnifies who the person is. The question is, Who are you in your identity and what are willing to provide in high value?

Be A Consistent Learner

In think we know everything, life ends right there. By learning every day, your mind stays sharper. Decide to learn new subjects in add to your skills. No matter if all your possessions are taken away you still have the skills being accumulated. The growth mindset is far greater then the only staying one place.

By choosing learning it will strengthen your coping skills and taking care of yourself. The mental health is all connected to you physical health. Both work together. In self education, this can save your life faster then a doctor. In educating yourself, you are giving the tools in your toolbox.  The skills you have acquired will come in handy in their time of need. To love yourself, you must immerse yourself into learning.

Listen To The Language You Use

I was talking to a lady who is going through a challenging time in divorce as she lost the place she lived in. When she spoke her mindset was in the can't. She was in a business meeting with a friend and wasn't expexting to get help for her in art business process. She hadn't found herself yet. She is stuck in the present tense and focused on all the issues as she described it as chaos. I said to her when you are ready, you will move on through this. Her friend and myself were there to be supportive on who is working on to be. I mentioned, why not use your situation to use this emotion to express it in your work to speak who are going through what you are temporary in.Yes, situations in which you go through aren't pleasant, however, in way you redirect them is how you define what happens in your mind.

Yes, I want as many people to succeed in all levels much as possible. Being the victor is your choice every day instead of being a victim. This took me decades to finally work through my hurdles. You can too.

Are You Putting In Your All Or Performing Mediocre?

In any place of business, you can tell who really cares about you by the effort being put into the whole experience. Myself personally, for instance have been to many restaurants and I can tell when they put in the effort by the quickness and freshness of the food. Plus the attitude of the person who is giving you the service and product. The whole welcoming experience makes you want to come back for more since it has become a rarity. At the same time, an opportunity has opened for you because of this.

The same goes for art, the main result of what people see is from the mindset the artist is coming from at the time of creating the work. The effort, the care in details, the quality, the deeper expression from within. The comparison is the artist who puts theirself into their work by projecting the story from within compared to an artist who is just making art because they think people will purchase it. No, you have a purpose. Don't base your work only on making sales since your time and effort are crucial to your collectors. Your image on how you see the world is being projected into the final result potential collectors will see. Do you see you owe it to yourself to be more and do more?

I'd like to hear your story in what you do and have done to set yourself apart.
