Greetings Fellow Artist, You know that thing that you're gonna start when the time is right? When you quit your job, or pay off all your debt, or when you're making a bit more money. Yes that thing, that craft you want to develop, or that business you want to start that you're putting off until the "perfect time". I'm here to tell you that if this is a high priority endeavor, a big dream of yours and not just some hobby you want to start.... you are just procrastinating. There is no time more perfect than right the fuck now. You see, there is this strange phenomena in life that makes opportunities become harder the longer we wait. Think about how much harder it is to have that hard conversation when you keep pushing it down the road. Think about how much harder it is to talk to that cute stranger, after you've exchanged 30 looks and still haven't said anything... now you look like a creep, opportunity lost As time passes opportunities get increasingly more difficult. We get older and take on more responsibilities, the season for the opportunity comes and goes, and the resistance convinces you to keep waiting till it feels right to start. But in most cases it won't feel right to start until you actually start.It's time to form a habit of shortening the time between when you conceive an idea, to the moment the idea is a physical, tangible, thing. You will always have a lot going on, so if you're waiting to be more "free" to pursue your dreams, You'll be waiting until you're dead. Success loves Speed.

You feel weak. You feel drained. You've reached your peak. You question the game. You thought it'd be fun, but it's not. because you got caught, trying to run, too fast. What a blast this was in the beginning, with endless energy and visions of winning. You climbed with joy and ran and leaped, But now you've reached a hill too steep. A hill too steep to climb. Your eyes and mind can't see the top, you've got lacerations from all the rocks, but if you let go now you'll drop, this is harder...
You have officially completed your first 3 days of 2025 *confetti blast* How did it go? Was it productive? Or did your New Year motivation run out already? The new year can be quite an anxiety inducing time, You get excited about all the new things you want to pursue and accomplish. But most of the time you end up crawling back to the habits that hindered you from achieving your goals last year. The reality is, This cycle will kill your dreams, happiness, and quality of life if you allow it...
2024 is almost gone forever The completion point of days, weeks, months, and years serve as traffic lights for us to slow down, stop, and reflect before we continue driving down the streets of destiny. You made some new promises to yourself at the start of this year. Have you kept those promises? Are you still as focused as you were in January? To be honest, I used to despise New Years resolutions. They felt very ritualistic, yet most of the time they hold little weight. Most people do all...
