Success

I always hear people talk about their future, what it will look like and the lifestyle they are pursuing. People often say "I just want to be successful in whatever I do." You will often hear people define what that life will look like upon reaching that success. "As long as I live in a nice neighborhood and have a family I will consider myself successful." or "I want a big house with a view and sports car." The problem with this kind of mindset it that you are giving success a destination. "I will consider myself successful if..." Well what happens after you reach that goal. What happens after you accomplish those things but later something tragic happens. Are you still successful? According the plan laid out you would be successful because you accomplished those goals, but when life takes a sudden turn we don't look at it as if we are still successful but failures. See Success is NOT a destination, it is a tool in which we measure the amount of ones destiny fulfilled. So when things are going great it does not mean that you are any less successful it means that you are in a different season in your life. One Billionaire said "When I lost everything, I found my true calling. I knew that I was in the right places in the right time even when living in my car." The great Recession is one felt by all. But in these days lift your head up high and continue pursuing your destiny, if you are doing that you are truly living a successful life!

Love is the movement...

For some the thought of another day is too much to bare. Each year thousands of teens turn to a permanent solution to rid a temporary problem. To Write Love On Her Arms starts with a story, a story that is not so unfamiliar to young adults across the country, this time it’s a Girl named Renee.

And this is Her story…

Spread the word, the is so much to live for…

Story time...

There is something about storytelling that brings to life a connection among people. Storytelling allows us to be apart of something real or imaginary. Stories have shaped history, entertained since the beginning of time, and have been used to teach generation after generation. But to two Florida boys stories meant more then just fascinating tales, stories had a purpose.

Friends Mike Fretto and Chris Lewis set out to start a fashion company that would donate all proceeds to charity. Upon research Mike and Chris noticed that many charities were well established and they felt they had a higher calling to actually impact lives. A good friend of the boys who makes films brought to their attention that there is much that is needed to be done on a local level and many people where hurting and had stories to be heard.

The creation of Rosa Loves is truly remarkable. Rosa Loves tells stories of individuals and communities in need and each T-shirt is designed especially for them and is only sold until the need is met, and that's it. "As soon as the monetary goal is met, the shirts are discontinued" the website reads.

This is a perfect example of taking an interest such as fashion and turning into a great cause. Visit RosaLoves.com and order a T-Shirt! To find out more about this great company and to read about all the stories behind the shirts read through their FAQ page.

As Always, Stay Tuned.

Blind Eyes

What started out as a film project ended as a movement that would change three young men's lives, and capture the hearts of millions.

Three SoCal Boys: Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey, and Laren Poole set out to Africa to film about the Civil War that has held the people of Africa captive for over two decades but what they found was not at all what they expected. Each night thousands of kids migrate into small towns in Uganda to avoid being captured by the Rebel Army (known as the LRA) The Boys found their war but not as they expected. When they returned they took the footage that they took and turned it into a documentary Titled: Invisible Children.

The film led to the birth of a the Non-profit appropriately named after the Boy's film. IC has started a bracelet campaign that raises money to get the homeless children off the streets and out of the rebels' reach.

Summer Style

Short Post today...

Last posts have been very "deep" so today I thought I'd post on something light hearted. FASHION!

Things to Look for

Remember Op? You know the clothing your mom used to bring home and you would wear it once or twice and then it quickly became the shirt "You'd avoid wearing at all costs" Well they're back (in style) Progression of the 80's look is quickly going into the 90's. So check out the New Op. I have to say there stuff isn't half bad. BUT get it quick because that is how fast it will go out of style. But for now game on.

Stay tuned...

Rest and Live...

Today the world watched as many celebrated the life of Michael Jackson. To me Michael Jackson was more then just an entertainer, and that seems to be the consensus of the majority of people. But to me Michael Jackson inspired me to perfect my gifts. Michael Jackson was not just a singer; he was World Record breaker, a phenomenon that could not be explained. Whenever he had an idea no one on this planet thought it would be anything shy of spectacular...

Michael Jackson perfect his talent to a degree of self-actualization a level in the human phyci that few obtain, he sold himself to his art. Princess Diana, Mother Teresa would be others I would say gave themselves to their art. Was Michael Jackson a saint? By no means yes but did he give all of himself to others? Yes.

The next few weeks the story of his death will be dragged on, the reason of death will be determined, and the criticism of his life will presume. But, I will say this what if we all gave 100% to our craft? To our gifts? What if we all thought about others as much as he did? I don't think it would have a negative affect on the world...That's for sure.

To Michael's Family: Thank you for sharing your gift of music with the world and I am sorry for your loss. We all will miss him, and keep him alive.

To Michael's Fans: its time to move on, keep dancing his dances and singing his song's.

“And my goal in life is to give to the world what I was lucky to receive: the ecstasy of divine union through my music and my dance.”

A Simple Abundance

I was sitting in my living room talking with my family about the different places that we have lived. Our discussions went from friendly neighbors and late nights with them, to favorite restaurants across the country. The conversation took a turn that I wouldn’t hit me till hours later. My mother (while in the kitchen) said, “I miss the water in Seattle.” We then started talking about different states and the quality of their water (everyone agreed Florida had the WORSTE tap water) I later sat down and started thinking about how funny it was that water had such different tastes, and then my mind started wandering…

…In America we are SO blessed it’s sickening. The fact that we can even argue what state has the best water and what Our company produces our favorite bottled water is a concept that the majority of the world and most Humans will never be able to grasp. The Bottled Water Industry is a $145 Billion Industry and 884 Million Humans do not have access to clean water.

Now, how can we let such a simple concept as “clean water” be ignored for this long. Forget world peace, we can’t even take care of our fellow brother’s and sister’s in the Human Race.

Put differences aside Religion, Race, Economics…all selfish thoughts. Let’s help. Support Charities such as: One, Charity Water, and others.

I don’t know about you but I can’t stay in the comforts of my own home knowing that MILLIONS of HUMAN’S can’t even get clean water. It’s such a simple abundance, that must not be ignored anymore.
