Fuel To Your Fire

Everyone has been told "no" before.  The 'no' people have no ambition, drive or belief.

I've been told that I could never do a lot of the things that I have already accomplished in my short life.  Every person who has put me down or said I can't make it happen has inspired me to push even harder.  The person who says that you can't, has no dreams and has no ambition in life.  They don't see what you see and that's ok.

In high school, yes I had a great group of friends, awesome four years and the best support from my family, but there were those few people who continuously put me down.  It's frustrating and hard to get past, but I had to realize that this is my life and why am I going to let their negative thoughts dictate what I think about myself.  NO.  I used their negativity to fuel my fire, to get me EXACTLY where I wanted to be, and i did.

I moved to Los Angeles and chased my dream, chased my dream to model in LA with some of the most experienced people in the industry.  It was the hardest, best, scariest, motivating, humbling and fulfilling experience I have ever done.  I never wanted to 'what-if' myself to death, school will always be there... this opportunity won't.

Yes, I'm back here at home in Arizona, but do you think that means I've given up or quit??  You're out of your mind if you just thought 'yes'.  This is only the beginning.  That was my prelude to the novel I have for my entire life.  Just watch.

People are afraid of a lot of things, but the only thing I'm afraid of is not succeeding and chasing my dreams.  Life is too short to let it pass you by, you've got to trust in the end result.  Why go through the motions when you have a whole life ahead of you??   Go out, get off your butt and get EXACTLY what you want.  What do you have to lose? Absolutely nothing.

Take the focus off of yourself for just a minute and think about the people you want to inspire, motivate and get them to go after their dreams.  Quit talking about 'what you wish you could do' or 'what you want to do' and MAKE IT HAPPEN.  Figure it out and do literally whatever it takes.

You have to literally see where you want to be a year, 5 and 10 years from now.  Visualize what you want.  No one believes anything can happen until they see it or until it happens to them or their family. Don't let life pass you by, don't waste a day.. make the absolute best of everyday.  Wake up and tell yourself what you're going to do to make it the best day possible and go to sleep and be thankful for the fulfilling and awesome day you just had and how it was successful for your future, whatever it may be.

There will be haters, but who cares what they think.  It's your life, do what you want and create your own reality.

DREAM | BELIEVE | CREATE | SUCCEED

FEAR

I just wanted to do a quick shout out to all of the young people out there who believe in themselves, who have a dream.  The most powerful thing we have in our lives is dreams.  From that dream all we have to do is execute and chase that dream.  Whatever it may be... sports, health, money or future... YOU CAN CREATE YOUR OWN REALITY.

Stay true to you.  Quit caring what other people think!  Other people's opinion DO NOT matter, it's YOUR life, live it the way you see it.  See it, literally close your eyes and see where you want to be.  When you see your goals, dreams and visions, that's when the motivation comes in to play and you need to MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Believe in yourself.  If you don't believe in yourself then no one else can believe in you.  Your only fear should be to not be able to succeed, succeed at your goal or dream.

"Nothing good ever comes out of being afraid or a situation, no matter how crazy it is.  Instead of letting my fears scare me or enable me, I let them motivate me, inspire me by getting past them and crushing them." --Big Sean

Look with eyes of faith.

Trust In The End Result

Do you have a hard trusting people or ideas you have for yourself in life?  So do I.

I have always had a hard time trusting friends, guys and trusting the bigger picture.  I never wanted to get too close to someone because of the simple fact of getting hurt.  No one wants to be hurt in the result of being open putting your all into someone or something.

Recently, my life has changed a lot.  New friends, new goals and new passions.  I have so many places I want to go and so many things I want to accomplish.  I can't let anyone hold me back from what I want to do.  It's MY life, and I only have one life to live.  With that one life I have to live, I'm going to do everything possible to get to exactly where I want to be.

You can't let others dictate you into doing something "normal".  Normal sucks.  Normal is a disease.  Why be normal when you are a human being?  We should be able to do anything we want with no one telling us otherwise.

I have dreams, goals and a drive to get exactly where I want.  I'm going to take this year and from now on to chase, chase, chase until I am in the place I want to be.  I will never settle to be comfortable.

We need to trust in the end result.  Trust that it will be always be the best for you at that time.  If I believe I can have it, then that's my reality.

Dont let anyone change YOU.

Enjoy the journey in making all your dreams and goals a reality because the journey makes you who you are.

New Year Resolutions?

First of all:  HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Today I got asked the obvious question, "What's your New Year resolution?".  I answered back with, "I set goals for myself daily so I don't really believe in New Year resolutions."

 Losing weight, make more money, eat clean and be healthy are all of the most common resolutions that people make.  New Years resolutions typically end up in a fail.  People stick to them for a month or so then the motivation goes from 10 to 0.  It's really sad how we have a designated day for everyone to have "the best year ever".  Every year ends with, "thank god 2012 is over" or "2013 is my year".

I make goals/"resolutions" for myself everyday, every month and every year.  When you keep a goal for days and months it pushes you to achieve those goals easier.  I literally write down new goals and revise the old ones weekly.  It pushes me to go 110% for what I'm hoping to get.  You're never handed anything in life, hard work and dedication is the formula to success.

Successful people don't sit back and watch the game, they are the freaking quarterback and make all the plays.  If you're pursuing success in your life (which most people are) you have to make the decision to take the upcoming day, months and year by the horns and lead with confidence.

Write down what you want.  Write down every goal, plan and desire you ever want and make it a point to pursue everyday in taking the steps to achieve it.  Even if you don't accomplish it on the date you wish to, THAT'S OK.  It doesn't mean it will never happen, just wasn't the right time.  Everything happens for a reason at the times it's supposed to. Firmly believe that.

"Just because we know it's possible, doesn't mean it's real.  It's not real until you see it happen, until it happens to you or one of your friends or your family... Imagine you had everything you wanted, everything.  Imagine you were everything you wanted to be, capture that feeling.  That's the easiest way to manifest what you want." --Big Sean

Success leaves clues.

Dream big dreams, small dreams have no magic.
