The Talk on Self Talk
When you were growing up, did your parent ever tell you, "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all?" Well, that also applies to self-talk, and today I am going to give you a piece of my mind when it comes to this topic. Growing up, no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, was this self-deprecating. I want it to be known I am ashamed to be among the age group that believes self-deprecation is cool. And in case you are not familiar with the term, self-deprecation is defined as modesty about or criticism of oneself. There's a great chance you have seen posts on social media that broadcast such stupidity, ending in mentions of "because I'm stupid," "because I'm ugly." I don't know who needs to hear this but stop talking to yourself like this! Words are power! In the future, we're going to dive more into the Law of Attraction, and to work it to our advantage and such, but currently let’s start with words.

Hitting the Reset Button:
When it comes to existing as a multi talented human being, and not recognizing your niche, it can feel like the world is against you. I am a millennial that doesn’t see the “bigger picture” when it comes to working for the man. And I don’t believe I ever will, just from the way I was raised and the choices I made free-willingly about how I am going to live my life wholeheartedly. I don’t see money as this powerful tool that gets you farther in life, it is hard to do so when you know information about the value of your dollar bill. Money has grown to repulse me in this era due to the fact it can buy so much more than its intended purpose (i.e votes in a competition, audience for a growing business, etc). I crave the time when people were actually talented, and you didn’t need to have hefty pockets to be considered “talented” to make ends meet. When your neighbor would also side as a handyman, or you knew someone who was talented in technical writing, babysitting, mechanics – anything. Now in 2019, everything that is considered a service, talent, or skill needs to be an out-of-pocket expense. Inflation has caused a big riff between being a decent human being and affording to look like one. Status quo and external validation reeks in the air of surrounding starving artists as we can no longer be the visionaries we once imitated from long ago. Times have changed and technology has taken control over the vast majority of options available to do more. It would seem as if having the internet would be beneficial, but it seems when everything is put onto the internet, some of us who tend to have old-fashioned ways of doing things have to catch up with the ever-changing advances.

Fast Food (Death) Industry
There will need to be vast changes if there is to be a future planet to leave for the next generation. People have become comfortable with society pleasing at hand and foot with improving the ease of chores, errands, and duties than ever before. But is there any speculation how some things come as easy as they do, and what harm those may bring to the environment — or even worse — to society’s health? Is there a second thought to how with changes can come chaos without order? One of the most impeding real-life situations that is being swept under the rug and hidden is nutrition. Every other 30 seconds or so during a commercial break, initiates brainwashing of patrons with beef, bacon, and cheese. Candy, chips, or sodas. When listening closely, not one statement during the commercial mentions being good for the overall health, just how good it may taste. Many do not know, but commercials are no longer for prolonging health — just lessening life expectancy. If there is no action soon, children will die before their parents.
