Motivation

I got so many ideas on my mind. Things I that I want to accomplish. I have to thank my future wife to be for checking me on my lack of motivation. This led to us realizing that we both have let our motivation slip. Now it's time to get back at it. This is something that we have to prove to ourselves. We want to give each other the lifestyle we've always dreamed of. It's going to happen, and failure is not an option.

Earn money and invest wisely.

V-Day

I know there are a lot of guys out there that got the disappointing look from their girlfriend on Valentines Day. You know what?? I DIDN'T!!!

These are the same guys that are like I don't understand why she wasn't all that happy. I got her a rose, a chocolate bar, and took her to eat at Applebee's. I'm not ragging on those if that's all they could afford to do, but plenty of guys do what they think is right and fail miserably. The main problem is that you're not listening. 

Did I give my girlfriend flowers, chocolate, and take her to eat? Yes. The difference between me and other dudes out there is that I paid attention to the things she likes and I knew what she wanted already. So I got her a dozen roses, a plush heart shaped box of chocolates with a rhinestone studded Princess logo, a t-shirt by Mark De, and took her to see Confessions of a Shopaholic at Alamo Drafthouse. We had an awesome dinner which included appetizers, drinks, and desert.  Then had a pretty awesome rest of the evening together. 

It was an awesome day because she means the world to me, and I want to do nothing but make her happy. I know you're reading this my baby, and I love you. 

Been a minute

It's been a minute since I've posted something. I've been real busy with school, RCIA classes, making it happen with my music business associates, and working with my Pops. Believe me when I say that I'm not complaining about what I'm doing because this kind of busy is the absolute good kind. This is the kind of busy that leads to great rewards. Which are the only type of rewards I expect out of life. I enjoying learning whether it be academics, life, success, spirituality, and love. 

I love the fact that things are always looking up even when I'm feeling down because when you get down you can only go up. Schools getting easier which is a first. I think it's because I got all the booboo classes out the way already, and now I'm learning things that I'm actually interested in. The basics aren't bad because I did learn some useful information. How to write correctly, I learned persistence with College Algebra (I only wanted to take it for one semester and I put my all into and made it my first and last semester with College Algebra), I learned how to argue in Government, learned how to make an impact in History, and how to speak with confidence in public speaking.  Now it's basically all music with the expection of some electives like Philosophy. I used to hate school, but now I feel like greatness is right around the corner and I can make it happen. So keep a watchout for me.

Law of Attraction

There are times where I'll get in my giving mood, and I'll be real talkative to random people. This is never a bad idea. Someone could be having a really horrible day, and you could be the one to lift their spirits. You could call it karma, or you could call it the law of attraction but the same principle applies.

Today I was walking over to HEB to pay my cable bill, and on the way over there I talked to the Goodwill guy about what's okay to donate and what isn't. You could tell he was bored out of his mind because it's not a very active job. They give these guys a comfortable chair, and a small tv set of the work pace. At the end of our conversation I shake the man's hand, and this may not seem like a big deal until you realize how many people in these times don't really make physical contact with one another. I'm talking about people who don't know each other, and probably will never bump into each other again. For a stranger this shows you have a certain amount of respect for them without really even knowing them. That in itself may boost some peoples spirits.

I made my way across the parking lot, and there was this old man putting away groceries one at a time because at his age strength is a hard thing to come by. So while he was putting things away I offered to take his cart to put it away. He was greatful for what I had done, and he left with a smile. That made me feel good because being old must be pretty hard at times when people are yelling at you for driving to slow or taking too long at the bank. He was probably surprised that there were still people out there that would take the time out to help a complete stranger.

I paid my bill, and I bought a drink out the vending machine before I made the walk home. Drinks were 50 cents, and when I paid with a dollar bill I expected to get 50 cents change. Low and behold I got back a dollar in quarters. I got a drink for free. It may seem like a small gift, but I'll accept any gift given to me. I know I was given that small gift because I did something for others without expecting anything in return. Karma or the Law of Attraction, whatever you want to call it is for real.
