Leadership Over Followers
It was pretty much straight after Christmas last year in which I made a choice that I was no longer going to use my personal social media profiles just to post pictures of my life, and advertise them to the world. As wonderful as it is to capture certain memorable moments, and post them online for friends and family to see, in all honesty, it's not exactly an activity of huge benefit really. Photographs have always served as a perfect means of capturing a memory, or the perfect scenery, there's no disputing that, and posting them on social media should preserve those images online forever, unlike with physical photographs, which can easily be destroyed by fire. I've become more of a person who prefers to live in the moment, opting to relish in the preciousness of the experience at the time, rather than be sidetracked by fiddling around with a phone or camera trying to take a happy snap. Each to their own though. I will still continue to post personal photos from time to time, but the reason behind the decision I made to start using my personal social media profiles in a different manner was because I wanted to begin sharing more positivity, inspiration, and motivation. I was dedicating time to posting motivational content on my business website and social media pages, yet I was actually not sharing it directly with my own friends and family via my own personal profile. All the personal development content and education I have been investing my time in, along with all that I have personally experienced throughout the journey towards achieving my goal, I was leaving out the very people who I should have been prioritizing, and looking to positively influence and help educate.

Why Write on Vocal
I joined Vocal about six months ago and put up one poem then completely forgot about the online writing platform. Then about two months ago with ads constantly popping up on my social media feeds promoting the "Little Black Book" challenge with a twenty-thousand dollar prize going to the winner, I decided to give Vocal some serious attention. Since my fictional short-story, "The Event" submission I have been writing and contributing to the platform consistently ever since. I didn't win that challenge nor have I been receiving a large amount of reads for my stories. To date I have made $16.67, with $15 dollars of that total coming in the form of Vocal paying me for my fifth ($5.00) and tenth ($10.00) stories and one lone tip for a dollar. This week I have finally reached just over 100 reads with my ten stories combined, making up the remainder of the money I have in my wallet.

Feeling The Covid Blues??
Let's be honest. Covid is taking way too long to be over and we still have so much more to go through until we are back to some kind of normal. I truthfully don't think normal could ever be the same. We have all been through too much to be the same or do the same things we used to do. If our lives do go back to the way they used to be, then at least out mindset will be different.

Prove Them Wrong
Undoubtedly, one of the worst things about the journey towards achieving our goals, is the lack of support, the opposition, the doubt, and the criticism, we receive from others. What makes that even worse again is the fact that many of these people are very close to our heart, and dear to us, such as our parents, our partner, our family, and our friends, the very exact people we believed would always be there for us. When we first start to encounter this lack of support, opposition, doubt, criticism, from them, it can be a real shock to the system. In all honesty, it's quite hurtful and upsetting. These are the very people that regularly tell us they love us, they care for us, and they want the best for us in life, and yet when it comes to the time where we take the plunge, and we have the courage to begin pursuing our goals and a future we desire for ourselves, they try and talk us out of it, or they oppose it. It doesn't make sense! They say they love and care for us, and they want the best for us, and yet they stop us from striving for the very thing that we believe in our heart will provide us happiness and success for the future. Why would someone that loves us want to stop us from achieving success and happiness? That's not love! It begs the question, why? Why do they oppose us, criticize us, doubt us, and withdraw their support for us? There are generally four reason behind why, them being agenda, inconvenience, superiority, and embarrassment. Let me elaborate on these. Firstly, agenda. When I say agenda, I mean that us pursuing our goal doesn't fit their agenda. What we are trying to accomplish is not what they envisioned or planned for us, and it's not what they want us to do. It's funny that we have each been blessed with our own life to live, yet for some reason, people like to believe they can manipulate us to live our life to their design also, and not our own. People will often try and manipulate us to follow their advice and recommendations, purely for their own personal gain, in some way, shape, or form.

Motivation: The Great Misconception
I used to believe in motivation. Not anymore. People are often unaware of just how dangerous settling or simplifying an idea or a way of life can very well be. As an immediate gratifying society, we tend to implore ourselves into mindlessly believing that everything and anything is merely seen from one vocal point, disregarding the remaining 359 possibilities it could have turned out otherwise. It is a lot like leaving an infant in the middle of the jungle, a haunting uncertainty of an outcome.
