STATUS UPDATE
LONG TIME, NO SPEAK...
AS SOME OF YOU HAVE BEEN PRIVY TO, THRU THE INSTAGRAM PAGE AND MAYBE FROM EVEN SPEAKING TO ME DIRECTLY, THERE HAS BEEN QUITE A BIT GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES. THE FORMAL ASPECT OF THE BUSINESS HAS TAKEN SHAPE, AND IS PROCEEDING ALONG IN A MORE PROFESSIONAL MANNER. FROM THE ONSET OF THE BEGINNING OF THE 2018, THERE WAS A MAPPED OUT MISSION SET IN PLACE TO DICTATE HOW TO PROCEED IN BUSINESS THIS YEAR. BARRING SOME SETBACKS, THAT WEREN'T REALLY SETBACKS BECAUSE THE OUTCOME WAS ACTUALLY EXPECTED, THINGS ARE MOVING ALONG AND NICELY I MIGHT ADD. I ONLY MENTION, "AS EXPECTED", NOT SO MUCH OUT OF CYNICISM OR PESSIMISM, BUT, MORE REALISM. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT AS MUCH A SETBACK, BUT, A REMINDER OF THE STEP THAT I AM CURRENTLY IN, AND ALSO THE REMINDER, THAT THIS TOO SHALL PASS. THERE HAS SOME EXPERIMENTS CONDUCTED, AND SOME LEARNING THAT HAS OCCURRED BUSINESS WISE, AND HAS PROVEN QUITE VALUABLE FOR THE FUTURE. SO, FOR THOSE OF YOU PATIENTLY WAITING FOR THE NEXT SERIES OF CREATIONS COMING FROM US, THEN DO NOT FRET...IT IS, COMING. I THINK, THE BUSINESS SIDE OF THINGS, NEEDED TO CATCH UP TO THE ARTISTIC SIDE, SO THAT MOVING FORWARD WOULD BE A POSITIVE PROGRESSION.
I ALSO, HAVE BEEN FEELING MORE MOTIVATED LATELY. I WAS MOTIVATED BEFORE, BUT, NOW THE MOTIVATION IS DIFFERENT. AS I STATED PREVIOUSLY, THERE WAS A PLAN FOR THIS YEAR, AND I INTENDED TO PUT THAT PLAN INTO ACTION. ON THE PERSONAL FRONT, I DECIDED TO LOSE SOME EXTRA WEIGHT. I HESITATED TO DO THIS, BECAUSE EVER SINCE I BECAME FULLY AWARE OF MY EGO, I HAVE BEEN BATTLING WITH THE WORTH OF CERTAIN ACTIONS I SHOULD TAKE AND POTENTIAL PITFALLS. LOSING WEIGHT, IS SOMETHING, IN MY PRIOR ATTEMPT, ENDED UP FUELING MY EGO, AND MADE ME QUITE NARCISSISTIC. HENCE, MY APPREHENSION, ABOUT ATTEMPTING THAT FEAT AGAIN. MY PROCLIVITY TOWARD THIS MENTALITY, MADE ME RELUCTANT TO TRY, AND SOMEWHAT ALLOWED ME TO JUSTIFY AND ACCEPT MY PHYSICAL APPEARANCE. I FINALLY DECIDED TO STOP MUCKING ABOUT, AND ATTEMPT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT MY PHYSICAL APPEARANCE, BECAUSE NOT ONLY WAS IT AFFECTING MY HEALTH, BUT, ALSO MY MENTAL STATE. NEITHER OF THESE WOULD HAVE POSITIVE OUTCOMES, IF I ALLOWED THEM TO CONTINUE. STARTING DECEMBER 29TH 2017, I MADE UP MY MIND TO ATTEMPT TO CHANGE MY HEALTH, MENTAL STATE, AND PHYSICAL APPEARANCE, THRU DIET AND EXERCISE.
THE METHOD IS NOT IMPORTANT. HOWEVER, I WENT FROM 238LBS. TO 176LBS. AS I WRITE THIS. I'D BE REMISS, IF I DIDN'T SAY THAT THIS WAS A STRATEGIC MOVE IN BOTH MY PERSONAL AND IN BUSINESS LIFE.
TO BE QUITE HONEST, THE WHOLE PROCESS OF BUSINESS, HEALTH, ETC.; FIRST GENERATED WHEN I CAME ACROSS A SERIES OF PODCASTS, THAT WERE HIGHLY PHILOSOPHICAL AND INTELLECTUAL. THESE NUGGETS OF TRUTH AND CLARITY, CAME THRU AND WERE REALLY REACTIVATING PARTS OF MY BRAIN. I BEGAN TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF MYSELF AGAIN, AND WHAT I NEEDED TO DO, TO GET MYSELF IN ORDER. I AM AN ARTIST YES, AND NOW A BUSINESSMAN, AND ALSO, AN INDIVIDUAL...CAPABLE OF WHATEVER I SET MY MIND TO, DESPITE PREVIOUS MISCONCEPTIONS. THE INTERESTING PART OF THAT, IS THAT I ALREADY KNEW, WHAT WAS BEING REINTRODUCED TO ME, AND I FELT THE VIGOR OF TRYING BUBBLING UP INSIDE OF ME AGAIN. MAKE NO MISTAKE, I WASN'T GIVING UP ON ANY LEVEL, BUT, INSTEAD REDISCOVERING MY INTERNAL POWER, AND RECOGNIZING YET AGAIN, THAT MY EGO DOES NOT CONTROL ME, I CONTROL IT. AS I STARTED TO DELVE INTO THESE PODCASTS/LECTURES, AND STILL DO TO THIS DAY, I AM FEELING A SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT. NOW, I DON'T MISTAKE THIS OCCURRENCE FOR ME STROKING MY OWN EGO. I DON'T REGARD THIS AS A BOOST IN MY SELF ESTEEM EITHER. I HAVEN'T BEEN VERY VOCAL ABOUT MY WEIGHT LOSS, OR WHAT IS OCCURRING IN THIS BUSINESS EITHER. RATHER, I ALLOWED MYSELF TO ABSORB THE WIN, AND INSTEAD OF CELEBRATING, I DECIDED INSTEAD TO RECOGNIZE THE ACCOMPLISHMENT INTERNALLY, AND REMIND MYSELF, THAT THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN, BECAUSE, THIS IS WHAT I PLANNED. I AM GETTING MY AFFAIRS IN ORDER. I AM GETTING MY LIFE AND BUSINESS IN ORDER. YOU CANNOT PROCEED FORWARD IN CHAOS OR APATHY, BECAUSE THEY BOTH CAN BE DESTRUCTIVE TO YOUR SUCCESS.
I HAVE BEEN GOING OVER THIS THEORY IN MY MIND, THAT WE ALL APART OF AN ORGANISM THAT LIVE ON A HOST PLANET. WE ARE SOMEWHAT THE SAME, BEING THAT WE ARE HUMANKIND, SO WE ALL ARE SIMILAR TO A DEGREE, AND JUST AS WONDERFULLY COMPLEX TO BOOT. THE COMPLEXITY, ALLOWS US ALL TO PERFORM DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS WITHIN THE ORGANISM AS A WHOLE. IN VIEWING THE WORLD IN THIS FASHION, THEN THE IDEA THAT SUCCESS IS SUPPOSED TO OCCUR, IS A VERY VIABLE IDEA. THE SUCCESS OF ONE, ENSURES THE SUCCESS OF THE WHOLE. THE UNIVERSE, OR THE ORGANISM, WANTS YOU TO SUCCEED, WANTS YOU TO BE BETTER, WANTS YOU TO THRIVE AND LIVE, BECAUSE BY DOING SO, YOU ALLOW; THRU YOUR OWN COMPLEXITY, THE WHOLE, TO THRIVE AND GROW. YOU MUST GET YOUR MIND RIGHT. PULL YOURSELF OUT OF THE HELPLESS VICTIM CATEGORY. DON'T JUST SAY, DON'T JUST THINK, BUT, ACT. IT ALL STARTS WITH BABY STEPS. I INITIALLY STARTED LOSING WEIGHT BY, CHANGING MY DIET AND DOING A CONSIDERABLY LIGHT WORKOUT IN THE MORNINGS. I NOW SIT AT 176LBS, WITH A TARGET WEIGHT OF 175LBS. IN MY SIGHT. THAT IS NOT TO BRAG, OR EVEN SHUN, BUT, TO REMIND YOU OF THE INTERNAL STRENGTH YOU HAVE WITHIN YOU.
THIS TURNED SORT OF MOTIVATIONAL, AND I DIDN'T MEAN FOR IT TO COME OUT THAT WAY. I SIMPLY WANTED TO UPDATE YOU ON SOME THINGS. THERE ARE NEW DESIGNS COMING, A FEW REVAMPS OF OLDER DESIGNS. THE NAME IS GROWING, THE BRAND IS GROWING. WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN MORE EVENTS THIS YEAR AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO, AS TIME GOES ON. WE ARE BEING DISCOVERED ON A REGULAR BASIS. PEOPLE ARE CONSTANTLY KICKIN' PROPS DOWN THE LINE FOR OUR DESIGNS AND OUR MENTALITY, AND ALSO THE DEPTH OF WHAT WE REPRESENT. AS USUAL, ALL WE EVER ASK FROM OUR FRIENDS, AND ACQUAINTANCES, IS THAT YOU SPREAD THE WORD. IT DOESN'T COST ANYTHING TO SHARE, REPOST, TAKE PICTURES, TALK TO YOUR FRIENDS, ETC., BUT, WILL GO A LONG WAY IN BRINGING MORE FIENDS INTO THE FOLD. SOMETIMES, ALL WE NEED IS A REMINDER, TO BE ADDICTED TO THE RIGHT SHIT...THEN IT'S ON FROM THERE. THANKS FOR TAKIN' TIME TO READ THIS LONG ASS POST. PEACE.
