Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers. The creatures of the commonplace. The slaves of the ordinary.

It ain’t anybody else’s life but your own so: Fuck the excuses, say goodbye to all the bullshit, and make every day your bitch. You deserve to smile and be proud of who you are and what you do every single day..

— Alexander Graham Bell. Motivated and ready to go.  I woke up today feeling brand new for some reason, took this picture once I got into my office and edited it via some cool apps on my iPhone. I haven’t been slacking per say, but I feel like I can put a little more effort in achieving already-set goals, as well as the new, if I gave myself and time a little more focus. Now that I’m getting things done in my life, I’m wanting more and pushing for more from myself. This quote will constantly remind me that there will be problems, and those problems will lead to temporary distractions but if I continuously keep my eye on the prize(s), even those distractions won’t faze my focus.

The Cardigans - Communication
This song holds much meaning to me. Being the introvert that I am (until I get to know a person) I tend to bare walls that are greater than the Great Wall of China. Communication is a key variable to any type of relationship and sometimes when signals are mixed in the “lack of,” people disconnect. Communication, the one major thing I’m working on as we speak. I never wanted to be an open book for fear of what others would think but I think I’m at that age where my voice…my opinions should matter. Ergo, the journey to self-discovery and a balanced confidence level will definitely be achievable.
