MIND CONTROL

The past few days after reading the timeless book Think and Grow Rich I have set out and applied the teachings to my life. I've built a plan for success that I recite each morning and every night before I go to bed. I'll post this plan once I have finalized it. Anyways the point of this post is that in the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, it discusses the way to developing success in ones life. One of the tid bits that I found super interesting was that of all the things we can control on the journey to success is our thoughts. And that although it seems fairly easy think about the span of a day how many times do we let negative thoughts creep in and distract or detract from the progress and accomplishments we may have gained. I know for myself that it happens on occasion and I believe it will be a battle for awhile until I get into such a groove that nothing will stop me. As an artist I know that many of my projects start with a vision and as I go through the steps to creating that vision and making it a real thing I must stay focused on the end product. And yes some things may change or it may not come out exactly as I had envisioned it, but it is now reality. And that is how the controlling of our thoughts can shape our lives. You want success in your life focus on the positive, envision each and every aspect of that life or lifestyle and never let doubt or negative thoughts keep you from believing you can have that, because what the mind can conceive the man can achieve. So lets keep our minds on the positive and check ourselves when we begin to drift off. LETS DO THE DAMN THING!!!

Droppin' In

Understanding that this isn't the beginning of the month I'm realizing that to achieve anything action has to be taken. I have some goals I'd like to achieve for myself and my future and that takes action. I stumbled into March and already a week in I gotta do what it takes to achieve. As one of my friends said it best I gotta be HUSTLIN' HUSTLIN' HUSTLIN' HUSTLIN'and HUSTLE some more. So this one is a short one folks, but understand its all about the action and that is the mind frame I'm in so I can be shining.

WELCOME BACK

Well its been a minute since my last post and as much as I didn't post you must believe your boy kept at it. Had my successes, had my set backs, and fucked over days. I'm still here, and I'm still looking to be the success I have envisioned in my mind eyes. In the time off life has given me some interesting realizations that only through the guise of time they would not have been revealed. I never knew much about my Dad's upbringing or his personal views or philosophies on life. When I was kid I did a I was told and as grew older and rebellion set in I began to question my Dad as I began to questioned life. The point I'm getting at as my Dad just turned 70 on March. 5th (Happy Birthday Dad) is that as an adult my view of my Dad not to mention, how we relate to each other has changed. As a kid he was my guardian, the one in charge of my actions, the one to care for me. Today, as an adult our interaction has evolved, but it has developed into a strained relationship, at least from my view as I try to reach out and create moments where we can bond in another manner more suited to our progression in life. All I find is indifference and unwillingness to share or join in. And as much as this is a blog on my dream realization for 2009 I believe a better relationship with my Dad should be a part of that as well so that is why the post here. Any thoughts or suggestions please post. ONE LOVE
