INCREMENTS (UNLOCK THE NEXT LEVEL)

I have learned a lot in the last few years. I learned that people you thought would always be in your life tend to fade out. But not in a bad way, they just are there one minute and gone the next. They taught you what you needed to know and served their purpose. I learned that raw emotion is good when you're young, but doesn't fit when you have a toddler. Toddlers don't care that you want to do your art.

The biggest thing I have learned, is that in life, things happen in increments.


in·cre·ment
ˈiNGkrəmənt/
noun
plural noun: increments
1.
an increase or addition, especially one of a series on a fixed scale.
"the inmates' pay can escalate in five-cent increments to a maximum of 90 cents an hour"
synonyms:increaseadditionsupplementgainaugmentationaccretion,addendumMore
Or very small increments, and this is as it should be. The reason being, if I had the kind of life I had now when I was in my twenties I would not have been able to handle it. I would have screwed up my life and the lives of others. Everything has a balance, a flow you might say. The life you are living now may not be what you think you should be living, but it is! It is the one you are suppose to be living because any other life would not work at this moment in your time. You are not ready yet for what comes next. You have to live a little, experience this life right now, to become ready, and willing, for the things that life has in store for you. Your ideal life is coming, it is a slow process for a reason. If you need an example of people who did not live there life in increments, check out any tabloid the next time you are buying groceries.
There are no successful get rich quick schemes. You have to find a niche that you are passionate about and learn everything about that niche. If you want to be successful in life read about successful people.


It needs to happen in increments to make it right. Take it slow, learn, and make it right.

Right Now

ClockHow many times a day do you tell yourself something isn't possible? Or that dream you have always wanted to fulfill you can start tomorrow? I used to do that a lot. Everyday I would fill my mind with images of the future, and all the cool things I was going to do, or on bad days... Well I am sure you know what those images were like. My mind was either worrying about the future, or living in the past, and totally oblivious to the only reality that you, and I will ever have, RIGHT NOW!
The only time we have in our lives is this present, and perfect moment that is happening right now. That breath you just took, that sip of coffee, that movement of your hand, is all you will ever have. The past is gone, and the future will never be here. Now is all we have. I know you have probably heard that expression before, and you're saying to yourself that you know, but have you ever really thought about it? Right now is all we have. Right now is all there ever was, and all that will be. When we think about what we should have done, or what we want to do, we are losing that moment to actually do something now!
The best time to start your dream, help someone, get into a better relationship, lose weight, spend more time with your kids, or just be happy is right now. A week from now hasn't happened, it will always be a week from now. Your reality is clicking by as you read this, go make your perfect life happen. I'd wish you luck, but you don't need it.
