Thoughts for Thursday | Remember Why You Started

There are going to be moments, hell, even days, weeks…when you think WHAT AM I DOING?! 

And if you find yourself at these moment, reflect back on the beginning. Think of that little spark that burned inside you to create, to make, to go forth and pursue your craft!

My little advice for this chilly Thursday morning… Remember Why You Started and Don’t Lose Sight of Where You Want to Go.

Inspiring Me At the Moment: Back to the Forest

I love going to Griffith Park in Los Angeles and love how close it is to where I live. Sometimes when the going gets tough I have to remember to pull myself away and go back to Nature. And walking among the wildflowers or even just laying in the grass watching the grey clouds move (when it's a very cloudy day you have to concentrate a bit to see the clouds move, at least from my experience), it reminds me that I'm but a small creature, only human. Whatever decisions I make everything else moves on. Should I stay still and do nothing? Or press on?



I choose to press on. Always.
