No ifs, no buts... Just do it!

Hello kids, daddy's back. Hush now....

I have been meaning to write the past four days but I lost my mojo and I don't think I've already got it back. Excuses, excuses, yada yada... blah blah blah, which brings me to this moment.

Have you ever made plans of doing something important - learning a new language, mastering a new skill (like taking a bath or brushing your teeth), pondering on thought provoking questions (like is butter a carb?), or making life changing decisions (like wearing underwear today), yet you end up NOT DOING because you have been putting it off? Guilty!

I am not saying that you're lazy. All I am saying is that you have been meaning to do what you needed to do but you lacked the focus, motivation or even the follow through in doing it. Maybe you think you have enough time after a long day and you decided to put it off till later only to find out that something else needed your attention. Fact is, YOU HAVE THE TIME to do it, but you won't. So instead of second guessing yourself, overanalyzing, and finding excuses not to do it NOW, why not JUST DO IT and get it over and done with? It makes sense right? Yes it does, especially when you know that you're going to end up doing it anyway.

Focus, motivate yourself, and do what you need to do when you need to do it. Make full use of your time by making time and getting rid of all of your excuses and you'll end up becoming more productive than you could ever imagine.

Vibe - Fly By Midnight

There are moments that you just have to appreciate the rawness of music (and its lyrics) without arguing with your moral compass.

This is one of those moments. Shut up, just enjoy.

Control Your Reaction

No matter how good you are at managing your life, you can't always control each and every situation you are in. HOWEVER, you can always control how you will react to each and every situation. 

You do not need to burden yourself with overthinking and overanalyzing everything and spend your days being paralyzed by allowing these to have power and control over you. You do not have to react to everything being thrown at you, even at the things that irritate you. Learn to isolate yourself from the situation and think if it will do you any good spending too much time dealing with it or just simply brushing it off and moving on.

Sometimes, the best way to deal with something is by doing NOTHING at all. 

Speak Your Truth

When was the last time that you spoke to someone without sugarcoating your words? You don't remember do you? We are all hardwired to be polite at all times and we try to avoid saying anything to offend people even if it is the truth. In the process, we lose the essence of our thoughts, and we lose ourselves in the process. We devalue honesty in place of patronizing people just to make them feel good about themselves. But what if the truth about what you are about to say can save someone? What if hearing your words makes them better persons? That's a totally different ballgame now isn't it? 

Learn to speak your truth without mincing your words. It will be worth it.
