Don't Just Sit There
Why is it that so many people have this foolish belief, that one day, their goals will come to them? It's like people believe that life will just hand them success, happiness, and their goals, their circumstances will turn around for the better, and they will live happily ever after. I'd like to say that I'm joking around in making such a statement, but sadly, it's the truth. The only action that most people seem to take, in pursuing their goals, is trotting on down to the local lotteries agent to buy a lottery ticket, with the expectation that a piece of paper with a few numbers on it, offering the odds of 1 in 7 million to win $1 million, will deliver them everything they ever wanted. To put these odds into perspective, you are 7 times more likely to be struck by lightning than winning division 1 in the lottery. Granted that there is always someone who is rewarded out of pure luck, but for most people, it's nothing more than week after week of having their hopes shattered. It's staggering to think that more than 1 in every 3 people are relying on a lottery win to fund their retirement. Now that's disturbing! Why do so many of us place our hopes of achieving wealth, success, and our goals, on a few ping pong balls with numbers drawn on them? One word; laziness.

Marked by the Mirror
I've been hearing folk talkin' about losing "COVID weight" often enough. It is in hearing statements like that, when I'm certain of the decay of the vibrant personality within some people. The topic may be their skin color, their financial status, their relationship status, or the way their hair currently looks. Weight isn't always the culprit, but negative thoughts tend to sneak in the mind sometimes, after walking past a mirror.

Stand for something
When it comes down to it, there have been times in my life I felt a responsibility to stand up for others. There are undoubtedly times where you will need to do this. I have done things like taking a kid who I knew nothing about to the bathroom in school to wash his face after being punched in the nose. I grew up with violence and always wore two shirts to school in case I had to give someone the other one. He had bloodstains on his shirt, so I gave him my extra after helping wash the blood off his face.

Being You
The Basics A person is born into a world that is guided by natural human law, which guides them on this journey that is called life. Leading to different events or situations that define their day. Learning that words have power and when you have power, you don't need to use words. To be able to grasp the world in your hands and to actually know is a great feeling. Controlling one's destiny gives that sense of power and the knowledge to understand the right solution.

Working on Myself and Others at the Same Time
As a dancer in a competitive world you have conflicting thoughts when you think of practice. You have so much to work on but the concept of competition means that you kind of want to isolate in order for others not to learn your secrets. Sometimes we have to look at things in general instead of within. It's always tough to do this when you have a goal but I would say it's actually a rewarding thing. I learned this over the years.

Redefining “Perfectionism” For A More Productive Life
What if I tell you reality is a construct? Your self-image, circumstances, beliefs, fortune, friends — everything that feels so unshakeable is but one version in a million other possibilities. It appears so solid because this is the reality you chose create every single day of your life; a version built on the foundations of your limiting self-beliefs.

The Unwavering, Academic Mindset: Just Push!
Imagine yourself in a world where you believed, that absolutely anything is possible for humanity. Aside from the obvious "I can't turn the sky into a different color" kind of dreams, humanity is cable of quite a bit. I had to remind myself of this back in fall 2010/spring 2011. At the time my father was at the house with us, and claimed I didn't want to return to school. Little did he know, that my brain was CRAVING an opportunity to get a degree! At that point, just the thought of sitting at a desk with a pen and pencil got me amped up.
