Stretch your mind

 

This has been a thing that I work on continuously. Stretching your mind to the limit requires quite a lot of getting out of your shell. By that I mean it requires you to develop your own system of thinking. This means the things you learned as a child develop what your own thought patterns.

Stretching your mind is possible if you believe it is. Everyday you should be learning. By learning I don’t necessarily mean learn by reading a book. Because reading a book you will only get a certain amount of knowledge and a certain type. Fore example if you read garbage then what you expect your mentality to be like.

Take this for instance if you learn something new everyday that you did not before how much knowledge do you think you’d have then? You can do this immediately and I am not kidding. But you cannot get caught in the clouds by people lying to you. Do your best to not let that happen.

There’s tons of people who just do what they can to get by. Those are the people whom don’t set goals, just do what the job requires and they don’t really feel as if they don’t deserve more. You could be currently without clients and feel like you are never going to get any and or that you have to sell yourself short. Stop right there you are valuable. Your skills are valuable. But be honest with yourself about your worth. Don’t try to be a CEO and your really just a manager.

Keep learning and never settle with what you are just told to believe. Seek the truth and knowledge. Because at this moment you are not complete with anything. There is always room to learn, improve and achieve more. The last thing I’m going to ask you are you going to stretch your mind?

Carpe Diem

 

This was the first time I seen where this quote had came from was when I was watching Dead Poets Society. The speech that Robin Williams gave still resonates with me to this day. The honesty and truth behind it is like no other. I wanted to take time and dedicate a calligraphy piece to Robin Williams. Because he touched my life like no other with his movies. Just thinking of how many times I watched Jumanji or Ms doubtfire to name a few makes me smile.

Here’s a beautiful tribute video of a Robin Williams speech. You remember that if you ever need someone to talk to feel free to contact me anyway you feel like it and I’ll give you the time. Not to end this on a sad note lets remember Robin for the beautiful movies and laughs he gave all of us.

Process Video of working on a calligraphy piece

Above his a reverse process video I shot while working on the piece below. I plan to do more of these while working on calligraphy work and etc. Just have to purchase a tripod first to have the video a bit cleaner and what not.

 

 

I am really happy how this piece turned out. The quote is lyrics from theweeknd and the reason I chose to do it was to continue expanding with other words instead of the same thing over and over (positivity quotes). Because I want to let everyone enjoy my calligraphy work.

Have a great weekend everyone.

If you chose not to decide

 

Remember this and keep it in your thoughts. Do your best to not be afraid of making a choice. Because its so easy to fall into the habit of hoping for a better day and etc. More so hoping for your problems to go away. Which we both know that is not going to happen. Face your problems or whatever your going through head on and you’ll be glad you did in the end.
