From Inmates To Millionaires
Take away all the excuses and remove all the rhetoric from the world and this is one of the most truthful dialogues I've heard in life. As I sit here, trying to develop my Vocal portfolio, looking for something to write about on this Saturday morning, I started thinking about winners. It's probably because I've been guilty of it, making the grand excuses and like some people, I stress and think about throwing in the towel. Unlike a lot of people, I keep getting back up. I keep trying new things and I keep going. That's the key, to keep going. Many find it easier to let themselves get bogged down by history, by fear, by their own perceptions that tell them they can't, they can't, they can't. I'd like to take a look at that for a moment or two.

10 Characteristics Of Successful Entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs; What are they? What makes them tick? They are a different breed than most people, some say they eat, drink and breath success. Some say they were born great, or achieved greatness, others say they had greatness thrust upon them.

The Chase
Last season I pedaled like a madman, and the tiger was hungry. A couple of times he almost got me, and in the closing race, he gave me a flat. This season has been different - I’ve been struggling to reach the top 20, slipping on rock sections, and constantly choosing the wrong lines. The tiger has become slow and uninterested. I think it’s because of the 20K sponsorship I got. The money made me careful, and I felt responsible to do well.

Stone
“Most stories you read in a book contain a hero and a villain, a protagonist and an antagonist. You always see the hero win or the successor overcoming evil. However in this realm that we call reality, we take ourselves our worst enemy of the heroes we become. For this reason, I created this book containing stories, secrets, and information to unlock this so-called “artifact” that is built inside our human consciousness.

Overcoming you
It’s that time again, coming up so quickly, it’s the day I died, and it’s the day that I was born. It’s the day that we burned the house down (figuratively) to the ashes and wholly changed. And somehow, I rebuild something different, something better and new. On February 28, 2010, I died and Woke up to a new person on March 1, 2010. Since then, I have been through so many emotions and a roller coaster. From forgetting the event to working hard to remember. While the fragments of my memory aren’t whole, it bounces around my head.

Rediscovering Me
Rediscovering myself was one of my favorite endeavors, and well, you might question as to how it can be so for rediscovery for ordinary people is mostly a once (or if they need it twice) in a lifetime thing. Yet to me, it is something I tend to strive for now and then.

Tapping In
I do not even know where to begin to describe the feelings as of lately. They have literally been all over the place from up down happy sad miserable to elated. Maybe not so much elated, but short moments of okay-ness. So, this is nothing new, I always seem to meet myself at this place when I start to get antsy. I’m sure many can relate as of now due to good ol’ quarantining. However, this feeling was happening long before the COVID era.

Baths are magical.
I have always been a shower person; they are a much quicker option than baths and when life gets busy you tend to look for the quickest ways to accomplish your daily tasks. During my twenties I realized the great importance of having a work life balance and finding ways to take time for yourself. Recently I have been focusing on finding more ways to reduce my stress level. I have found that taking baths is an amazingly simple way to reduce my daily stress. I know that baths have been thought of as an overrated form of selfcare. However, speaking from personal experience, I can tell you that baths can help to decrease stress and give you a break from your normal everyday routine. Taking a bath may seem like it would not provide the stress relief that you need. However, I can say that from my own experience It gives me an extremely peaceful feeling to relax in the warm bath water. I have taken a bath when I was in a bad mood and when I was done with my bath my mood had improved greatly. When I take a bath, it feels like the world pauses for a moment. Bath time is a great time to stop, think and reflect without having any distractions. I have become a fan of bath bombs I use them in most every bath I take. Bath bombs come in all kinds of colors and scents some even make bubbles or have prizes inside. My favorite bath bombs are the ones that have the prizes in them. It is fun seeing which prize you end up with. I also like using Epsom salts in my baths they are great for relaxing your muscles. Bath bombs and Epsom salts are both inexpensive. I have gotten them both from the Dollar Tree before. You may also what to try using candles or an essential oil diffuser to make bath time more relaxing. One other thing that I enjoy about baths is that you can customize your bath so that it is exactly what you want to be. Some other ideas to make your bath your own is to play music, use tub crayons, or even add some bath toys. I must admit that I have a duck toy in my bathtub and of course bubble bath is a classic way to make bath time more fun. You can make the space your own by getting a new shower curtain in your favorite color or a fun pattern that you enjoy looking at. Bath pillows are a great item to add to your bathtub to make it a little more comfortable for relaxing. Baths can become part of your daily hygiene routine. You can easily combine your shower with a bath. That way you can accomplish two things at once. It is quite easy to get caught up in all your daily obligations. We often forget to take care of ourselves when our plates are full of other tasks that we see as more important than selfcare. We need to remember that not only is it all right to put our health first it is also an especially important thing to spend some of your time on. A bath is an easy thing to add to your routine at the beginning of your day to relax your mind and get you ready for the day ahead or you can have a bath at the end the day to wind down and help you to relax before bed. Now that I have started taking baths for stress relief and relaxation, I do not think I am going to stop. Finding stress relief can be much simpler than you may think. You do not need to spend a lot of time or money to find that much needed break from the everyday stress that we all experience. There are simple and inexpensive ways to add some much-needed stress relief into your day and taking a bath is a perfect way to do that.

Dear Anonymus user, THANK YOU !
Dear Anonymus user, the last few days have been rough. Yesterday marked exactly one week since I was last able to write. Or should I say - since I was last able to write something good, something I was proud of and something that I was willing to share with the world.
