Be what you want

How many people walk through life feeling miserable and never choosing to accomplish their dream? I think we all know someone who wakes up miserable , works all day, and goes to bed miserable. At what point in our life do we become blobs of negativity?

I never grew up thinking life was going to suck or be painful or dreadful every day of the year. In fact, I always thought I would grow up to be a famous musician or an actor on the stage. Hahah neither ever happened…yet. Instead, I work in insurance and offer people savings everyday. The monotony can be excruciating at times. However, a few years ago, I decided I wanted more in life and to have a fulfilled purpose. I wanted to wake up everyday feeling alive. That is when I decided to just be me and do my crazy weird drawings and writings and send a smile everyday to people who would look my way. I was tired of “ pleasing other people” and hiding my true nature of being positive or creative because others may think of me as weird. I was behaving like a chubby unicorn when in reality I was a rhino!

I don’t know if you are going through this now. But stop faking being a Chubby Unicorn when you really are a Rhino. Stop trying to impress people you can’t stand and faking your way through life. There is a point where we will all face this crossroad in life where we can decide who we want to be or have others decide who we are meant to be. I would rather decide for myself than being told what to be or what to do. I have no idea of all the answers to life. I do know this one thing though.

If you are true to yourself , then the rest will work its way out. Take it one day at a time and do what you love, that weight of impressing others will slowly lift off your shoulders and you can finally awaken each day feeling alive.

P.S. I don’t know why I said I was a Chubby Unicorn…guess that’s just my brain for ya!

One Little Spark

Deep inside us all there is a match of creativity waiting to be lit. For many years, and many tears of trying to avoid it like the plague you have finally found it.

What am I to do with it?

What if I strike it and my whole life ignites into a million ashes and I ruin my family, my friends, my reputation?

What if I burn myself and it hurts and ruins my sense of touch?

Forget all of the worries you have. You, myself and everyone have been made to do great things in this life. Stop with the self doubt, and the “I have no idea what will happen” attitude. For far too long have we been led to believe that there is only certain creative people out there. Only a select few people can succeed. You were made for more than to work a 9-5 and retire barely alive.

Now is there time to strike that match.

Set the world alive with your gift. Show off your talents, never be afraid.

Go experience Switzerland,

Climb Mount Kilimanjaro,

Learn Portuguese,

I don’t care, just go create something special!

For you are unique and have that spark to do great things!

Your friend in the Creative fire,

Be Bright. Be Real. Be You.
