Important Advice!

Here are some very important advice: Taken from a Lecture by Randy Pausch

- Be good at something it makes you valuable (this statement needs no explaination if you are a cook, waiter, lawyer, musician, artist whatever) Be the very best at what you do.

- What is your secret?? Work Hard that is the secret to success you have to put in the work to reap the benefits.

- Find the very best in everybody no matter how long you have to wait for them to show it. (Bottom line everyone is good it might take time some time for you to see it but it's there)

- Be Prepared Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.

Being, Doing, Having

So I read something very interest and it said you must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do in order to have what you want. Now how do you discover the WHO part of who you really are when most of us feel lost at best of times. I think when you lift the layers that you hide behind and peel the masks off you quickly see who you really are. We let our egos get in the way and define ourselves by titles the cars we drive the condos we live in and such. When all those are just things that do really hit upon who we really are. As I have been doing for the past several week am working on my thoughts and seem that today a great example happen to me. I manifested $125 by following my instincts I played this numbers that keeped poppin into my head. Needless to say I got it right it amazing what our minds are capable off. It's very simple to change your thougthts but let me be the first to say its not easy. Four things you need to think about when visualizing effectively are as follows - 1) Set your Goal -2) Create a clear idea or picture in your mind. -3) Focus on it often (daily if you wish) -4) Give it positive energy!! Nothing worse that being you own worst enermy keep positive thought about yourself at all times NO MATTER what.. and alway alway be greatfull for the present. Everything is getting better everyday.

Motivation

Seems like whenever you get a great idea. It always seems simple in the early stages and then as you develop the idea you start to see the amount of work you have to put in to see your dream come to life. Like I mentioned before am a dream and like many I want great things for myself and the world around me. Someone once said that you can't help anyone by being poor. Being poor is a state of mind that can be changed at any time however it require a great deal of motivation and a clear cut commitment to see that goals to the end. My plan is to now achieve personal success with my business ventures now that being said am great at coming up with great business ideas and right now am working on building my team to assist in the areas that I truly can use the help. I have to say that thank goodness for the net as it has been a pool of instant information and access to a vast array of people. Even thou the progress is not at a speed that is to my liking am learning to go with the flow. I would love to talk to people who have successed in times when elements around them seems to pull them in directions other than their intended goals. As I embark on creating the next big thing in the apparel industry am realizing that a great deal of my business will depend on how well I market myself and the brand. In less than a week my first ever public appearance in the form of a Fashion Show will be taking place. Am both excited and nervous ideally I would have loved to have my premier pieces at the show however due to time funding and timing I have had to be creative and hope that the collection that the people see will be well received. On that note am going to do some meditation and seek some answers in my silence. Not sure how many people mediditate am finding it to be the most challenging thing I have ever had to do in my life. I have talked to many people mostly women who meditate ala Yoga buffs. they seem to be really in tune with the whole thing maybe Yoga is the answer to my question I tried tai chi which I should really resume to try and find that inner self. Well am off until the next time. Be the change you want to see in the world.

Self Control

Today was a bit crazy.. It's just past midnight I was going to post this earlier but ended up going to see African Footprint by a troupe from South Africa. The show was fantastic and it made up for most of the mishaps that happened during the day trying to get my catalog for the Clothing Line done in time for Vegas on tuesday but won't you know it. The printer is having issues with the files no worries I used a back printer guy to save myself in that event am hoping he can have it done for Monday before I leave for Vegas. Speaking of Vegas this is my attempt at launching my clothing line Sina Macosa (no regrets) in swahili. We I have been channeling positive vibes at the events in Vegas that I land a manufacture and a great distributor for the line I want to be national in 2008 and exibit the line in August with my very own booth.. Oh yeah I have dreams, I have come to realize that my dreams keep me sane at work when I feel under too much pressure under appreaciated and in constant fear of being written up which is funny because I really don't care if am written up it work when I was a stock boy at a grocery store or an usher at the cineplex. My boss fails to realize that am onto bigger better things. Maybe deep down he can see me minds eye giving him the finger but I wont dwell on that as I have said am going to work on being a better person I said it but it aint easy.. Them are the breaks on the journey to greatness. Today I woke up at 6:30am that was a first and hope to maintain that for some time to come. Only problem it's just past one in the morning and I have yet to close my eyes. I will try to meditate even thou the process have been one that I would rather not go through I have to remind myself to take baby steps. I did a tai chi exercise and I could actually feel the energy it was trez cool. Well that my rant for today I would like to be thankful for another marvelous day fun filled with lots of goodness and great accomplishement. For that am greatfull.. Looking forward to another day..
