Turning Your Passion Into Business
Do you ever heard that proverbial phrase, ‘If your work is your passion, you will never work a day in your life?’. It rings true when you have found out what makes you passionate about whether it’s a hobby, a work that you do, and sometimes being the person that you are to other people. Over the years, I struggled to find my passion, and sometimes I felt like there is no direction in my life and just going with the flow. While it is not something to cause worry, it is something that we all genuinely need to address if we are to embark on the journey of finding our passion that we truly enjoy for the rest of our lives.

De Profundis; A Visual & Poetic Journey
My empire was growing stronger by the day. I had barricaded myself up in my mind. I had mastered my body and was running a tight regimen of activities to maintain the equilibrium. I had erected a solid wall between myself and the outside world. I had perfected the mask to wear to be as invisible as possible. One thing became apparent, it was now very lonely in here. A whisper would float in now and then trying to strike up a conversation and I would brush it away, pretend it wasn’t real. Eventually, though, just like the building of any relationship I began to interact. This impression, this whisper, this presence was so still and gentle that it was able to slip into my fortress of evil and nothing I could do could keep it out. It was like a fog, a mist, a vapour. It was everywhere and nowhere all at once. It wasn’t pushy or invasive. It just was. It sat in the corner observing me, never judging. Eventually I grew curious and even fond of it. I began to divulge all my secrets and wishes and dreams. It seemed to know them anyway and it felt safe and right and ok. This was my secret. This was my one source of love and hope in a cold, dark red flaring inflamed body of hate. We certainly didn’t agree on everything. I had developed a constant narrative of how shitty I was and how great I was and how unfair everything was….I would dissect and tear apart every inch of myself molecule by molecule on a daily basis telling every cell how much I detested its very existence. My friend would just hover there light a nightlight not interjecting or saying a word, just there. It was waiting, but not impatiently.

Endurance Mindset
Consistency with your physical training is a critical component. However, often overlooked is the preparation of your mindset - Our minds so often disrupt the physical side of things, adequately failing to optimise the use of our athletic ability, talent and hard work. All of us know that endurance athletes perform best with a relaxed, focused and calm state of mind. Leading to an optimal physiological state. All of us can develop our skills to become more complete ultra-runners. A good race is never a fluke, and every runner should believe wholeheartedly in the power of magical thinking. So much so, that the depth of your thinking, self-motivation and the vision matters greatly. that success is achievable no matter what.

DREAM BIG
Success is something everyone wants and money is something everyone needs, but THE HUSTLE is something most try to desperately avoid. Most people strive to do the bear minimum possible while yet expecting hustle results. 2020 came in on us strong unlike any other year and has challenged us all to gain as much MOMENTUM as possible or failure will be inevitable.

Scintillating Scents Candle Co.
Hey guys, I’m pretty new here but I hope this inspires someone to start there own company. My name is Alexis, I’m 23, and I own Scintillating Scents Candle Co. As most of you are going through the same thing as me, then I know this situation has brought some hard times your way. In simple terms, this time is the very reason I started my company, but it’s not that simple. Let’s start at the beginning! When I was 21, I started working two jobs to try and help me get to where I wanted to be. I worked both days and nights every day, and that took a toll on me, both mentally and emotionally. I had moments when I would pray and cry because it felt like I was doing everything right, and it wasn’t paying off, but I continued. I worked two jobs for three years. I would look around, and it seemed that everyone I knew was getting everything they wanted, and here I am, struggling. I don’t want to make my first story too long, so let’s fast forward! So here we are in 2020, and I just knew this year is going to be great- think again, right? At this point, I was tired of working altogether, but I had to; it’s not like I had another source of income if I left both jobs. As I said, it was taking a toll on me mentally and emotionally but never spiritually because my faith is a lot stronger than anything else. One day out of nowhere, I said I was going to start my own company and guess what it was going to be perfume! Perfume lol! I thought, and said, I have to look into something I like, and I thought about candles. I did as much research as I could, and then I ordered a small kit and made three candles, and they came out great. I was excited; I could see how far my business was going to take off. I bought everything I needed to make them and started my Instagram and Facebook business pages. OMG!! I was so excited. I just started making more and trying to build my social media presence and all, and I was proud of myself. As much financial help, my company will be, it has also shown me new things about myself. So here I am 23 years old starting my own business and still learning. I hope by me starting my own company inspires others, especially little girls, to want to do the same. To show them that they can do anything they put their minds too and that nothing is too hard for them as long as they believe in themselves and go for it. I do wish that this was something I thought of or decided to do when I was a little younger, but I cant wait to see where and how far my business goes. So that is just a little about me, my company, and how it began. I cannot wait to tell you guys more about my journey, whether it is talking about something positive or not that is going on within my company. I look forward to using this as an outlet to express myself with whatever I may be going through in regards to being a business owner. Also, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, you are more than welcome to contact me via scintillating_scents (Instagram), Scintillating Scents Candle Co.
