Explosions - New Song

I've been writing a lot of new music lately.  I'm looking to come out with an EP by December 14th.  We will see, I have so much on my plate with work and life, it's a good thing I'm hungry.  Well anyways, I hope you're having a lovely day or evening and enjoy my new song for you.  Let me know what you think.

Personal Growth Journey

I've been on a journey to better myself.  I've been gaining skills necessary to take myself and my business to the next level.  I constantly listen to audios on personal growth, from the practical to the esoteric.  Have you ever felt you have everything moving in the right direction but you're just a little bit off.  If you change just one or two things or make a few slight adjustments everything will change for you.  I feel that's how close I am.  This reminds me of Tony Robbins concept of 2 mm.  If you're not familiar with it, the idea is that if everything seems to be going wrong, you're just 2 mm off from correcting it.  The difference between average and greatness is not that much.  1st place and 2nd place are not far apart.  People who come in first, it tends to be a byproduct of who they are.  As if, of course they came in first.  

How can you win?  What fulfills you?  What is your purpose and meaning?  You define that.  What does success mean to you?  Is it having a lot of money, is it having a fancy car, great relationships?  What does success really mean to you?  Have you ever pondered this question?  I tend to write and journal often, daily actually, but I tend to keep most of my writing to myself.  Maybe I don't want others to know what I think.  Or if people knew how I really think they might think something differently of me.  And why not?  I would hope people think I'm different.

I want to be unique.  I want to be different.  I want to be the person breaking the mold.  Breaking character.  Challenging preconceived notions of the status quo.  But am I really doing those things?

Or am I only thinking those things?  Mostly just thinking.  So today I will start on a journey to share my creativity.  Share my self-expression.  Share my ideas on art, business, life, money, sex, culture, whatever I tend to think and feel like sharing.  

Why writing?  Why not a video blog?  Maybe I'll do a video blog too.  Whatever I feel like in terms of expression.  Writing has this archaic nature to it.  It has the feeling of a conversation as someone reads it.  A video does not express the same type of thought process in the person who is absorbing your content.  When someone reads they must think.  They are asking themselves a series of questions of whether they agree with an idea, or disagree or still trying to figure out how they feel about an idea.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my thoughts with you today.  Where I'm going I'm not sure.  Where you're going, just make sure it's worth it.  You make it worth it by your attention and focus and what you're looking to get out of the experience.

My last thought is be even more specific.  Paint pictures for yourself with your language.  Challenge yourself to use language to describe exactly what you're thinking and feeling.  Get clear on how to use words.  Paint pictures for others with your language and instead of being lazy with your language get specific.  It could be a small word change that makes the difference in how a thought can be conveyed.

Be the hero of your own story.  I am a figment of imagination.  I am a new man today.  I will walk among ghosts and demagogues a free man.
