Life happens quick.
The more time you spend contemplating what you should have done, the less time you have to plan what you can and will do. Trying to tear down the past prohibits you from building up the future. Understand the past, learn from the past, but do not let the past be the ball and chain that keeps you from success in the future.

monochromaticblack:
Everything in life can be either right or wrong, moral or immoral, justifiable or inexcusable based on a matter of perspective. Everything. But not a lot of people are willing to look above and beyond how they view others, or the world, or the way they think things should happen. Even most people…

Live Inspired.
Everyone is born with an innate potential for greatness. We are all a blank canvas, and, if influenced correctly, could change the world around us. As we age, however, we are impacted by millions of different influences, many of them defeated and tarnished, that diminish our chances at greatness.
Society tells us to grow up, get educated, get a job, pay bills, and die. In that order.
We, as...

10 Ways to Love Others
Some guidelines for loving:
1. Tell them about their brilliance. They likely can’t see it and they don’t know its immensity, but you can see it, and you can illuminate it for them.
2. Be authentic, and give others the gift of the real you and a real relationship. Ask your real questions. Share your real beliefs. Go for your real dreams. Tell your truth.
3. Don’t confuse “authenticity” with sharing...

If I was truly being honest with myself, at times I can be very insecure. My insecurity doesn’t stem from a place of not knowing who I am or what I’m worth, however. It comes from the fact that I am a person who values my smarts, my wisdom, and my experience over the sexuality that it seems is most important to the people around me at the moment.
Yes, I work out regularly and can pull off days...

Take Risks
But do so with a couple of caveats:
Expect anything, including the unexpected.
Embrace the pain you may experience.
Draw and apply the lessons that you learn.
I’m a big advocate of “trying everything once”, so I can draw my own personal lessons from the experience and…well…to say that I did it haha. In the past couple of months, I found myself in my first (and...
