Despite the Fear

The Art of Visualization
We all pray, whether it be through thought, through speech, or through body language normally referred to as “worship." Throughout history, there are accounts of miraculous healings, sudden overflows of financial abundance, and so many other supernatural events brought to humans by the power of those who pray.

Offshore Explorer Stories
Passion is that barely containable emotion. It is that scintilla of uncontrollable fury so perfectly focused as to be defined as either religious possession or modified by words to describe its path, like deeply, profoundly, but always colored with a degree of suffering. Passion is an actor being. Becoming a sailor, traveler, and writer is intertwined with the experience of passion.

Just Do It
My Mistake Oftentimes, I realize I'm really slow to do the things I want to do. I have waited far too long to act on how I feel, speak up or even change things around me. Well, enough is enough. Life is fast, we all know that so why is it so hard to do take risks and just do what we want to do.

Things I Wish I Knew
During my senior year in high school, I complied a list of things that I wish I knew. I also asked several of my friends what they wish they knew. This list consists of what I feel were the most important lessons learned by a bunch of 18 year olds during their time as youths.

Stay the Course and Finish the Race
She came into my life at the age of 14. This special teenager that suffers from ADHD—"squared!" She has a heart of gold and loves to please. She also possesses the mechanical aptitude to assemble a BBQ, sans instructions. Can you do that? I know I can't!

The Heart Shaped Herb of Confidence 🌿
Where are you from? 🌍 Many a time have I seen an individual puff up their chest with pride as they tell everyone within ear shot that they represent south London. If that opening statement triggered you, I’m probably talking about you. Sorry not sorry.

Living an Extraordinary Life
Let me tell you a story before we talk about yours: {I promise it’s relevant ❤️} Once upon a time, there was a girl who was perceived to be perfect. She did as her parents and her teachers said because she learned early that she tended to get right where she wanted to be by making friends with the right people. As a child, the right people were always the adults in charge. She always had the right answer, or so it seemed. She wasn’t as perfect as she seemed, there was a porcelain mask covering what was really going on within herself. When she was little, she lied like a pro, and learned that it wasn’t wrong if you didn’t get caught; so, she decided to never get caught. She was terrified of fire and robbers... of things she couldn’t control. She didn’t always think nice thoughts, but all of this was hidden behind her mask because everyone expected her to be perfect. Or so it seemed. One day, something incredible happened to her and her life was changed forever, she found a purpose and meaning in her life and her lies turned to truth and her fear turned to courage. She went through a lot, that girl... through sadness and death of loved ones, through her only friends moving or falling away, she made new incredible friends and she found hope in the same thing that gave her courage. But still, life was hard... she fell in love in another country and spent a year with who she thought was the man of her dreams. He was so close to proposing to her and he even asked her a month before if she had any second thoughts, and even though she definitely did have second thoughts... she fell into her old habits from her childhood and told him what he wanted to hear. She lied, and said she had no doubts. A week before he proposed, she came clean and told him she wasn’t ready to get married. A few days later, the man she loved so much broke up with her. Her lies, despite good intentions, had caught up with her...

The Power of Small
Routinely, I rise out of bed before the birds, and watch the sunlight flood my office every morning. See, I love this time of day! But what I don't love is being rudely rousted out of a deep sleep before my normal rise and shine time, and every day for the past few months I have been.

How I Generate New Ideas
What makes the difference between a fantastic idea and a the greatest idea? Great ideas come along all of the time, and help people solve minor issues in work and everyday life. Terrific ideas appear somewhat less often, and need a bit more work to execute. Frequently they are unexpected moments of inspiration that help keep the napkin businesses in business. Ideas are a dime a dozen, but implementing them, and acting on them is the hardest part. Below I have created a list of things you can do to generate new ideas, whether it be for business or artistic plans, a few of these ideas will help you be able to focus and create terrific, well-polished ideas.
