New Project|The Creative Typo

Hi everyone!

First and foremost, I know it's been ages since I've written a post to this blog. Whoops!

The last while has been a lot of moving around and trying new things, and somewhere in the process my Macbook stopped working. Luckily by the power of the internet, I managed to troubleshoot my issues and fix the computer (yay!).

That being said I recently started a new project called The Creative Typo. It's something I am very passionately working on whenever I have the time to do so.  It's more than just a music group, or album, but a collaborative effort of creative individuals to express themselves the way they do best, whether that be via music, painting, video creating, and so on.  The goal is to inspire people to find the things they love and follow it. Without getting into too much detail about it all, check out my post for the breakdown and my vision here . Or follow my blog here for updates and happenings.

I also started a GoFundMe campaign which you can check out here for information and to help me progress with the project.

Thanks for the support, and Happy Easter

Success

I originally wrote this for a friend having issues finding work. But it can be applied to many things in life.

           5 Key Things That Will Push You To The Top
                   inspired by: Zig Ziglar


 
 1) Failure is an event. Not a person. Don't beat yourself up over it.

 2) Know thyself.  I'm not going shakespearean, Neo from the Matrix here.  But knowing who you are, solidly, being cool with who that is, and extending that confidence opens many a door.

 3) Dress for success.  We all judge, judging is bad, but we all judge. I work at a clothing store, and what a man (or woman) wears impacts first impression like you wouldn't believe.

  4) Night is darkest just before the dawn.  Honestly, and I'm experiencing financial hardship myself, nothing bad lasts forever.  There is always hope, you just need to sell yourself on it.

  5)  Persistance.  In the words of a wise blue fish, "just keep swimmin"
 
This may seem like simple stuff, and we often think "well, I do all that stuff." But we may not be doing so in the extent we think.  It's crazy how standing back and just taking a look at the mirror, can give us a perspective, and even unlock the door we need to go through.

The keys to success are yours for the taking, you just have to reach out and grab them

Things I've Learnt As An (Almost) 23 Year Old

I haven't been on this planet long compared to some, and I've been here far longer compared to some more.  I've been preceded by millions before me, and I shall precede millions after me.  And in this insignificant spec of time I live out on this ball of dirt we lovingly call home, I've learned a few things that I would like to pass on.  Nuggets of wisdom, if you would.

Fun is awesome, but there is a time to rest, reflect, and pray.

Quiet is great, but human interaction is a necessity.

Organization is handy, but too much creates unhealthy stress.

Don't be afraid to live a little, but don't be irresponsible.

Common sense and logic are great, but never downplay faith.

Faith perseveres, but don't be flakey and stagnant, faith requires a step, take it.

In all things, give thanks.
