Excited to Wake Up Tomorrow


I've really been looking forward to getting my days started. Setting a schedule; sticking to it. Like many others, I find this time to be best utilized accomplishing things that I should've prioritized more appropriately anyway.

The theme song of this historical moment in time is "Discipline" from a young, San Francisco legend, Larry June. A couple lines that stand out are, "All my credit cards paid off, ain't s*** changed/I never ask for favors, b****, I'm self made". My chief responsibility during this time has been to improve my financial knowledge. It never has been and never will be anyone's obligation to hand us anything (*clears throat*). We have everything to gain from seeking and studying the information for ourselves and our families.

Another point of emphasis at this time... my business. Honorable Mention has been quiet in the last year, and of course that bothers me deeply. What better time to plot, plan, and design. This project also ties into the above statement, as I know longer want funding to be a barrier. Getting things done is far better things being perfect. I've also formulated another business venture that I'll share details regarding in the very near future.

One last thing. I encourage you to take this time to learn how to do things that you pay others to do for you. I love collaboration and strongly support small business, but it never hurts to understand the process. There's a myriad of free educational course all over the Internet. My go-to is edX.

Summation: I'm only "stuck" in the classroom. Let's make the most of this time and be an asset to society during the process.

Time is of The Essence


I'm a strong advocate for not living in fear. By the same merit, I also think that all things, big or small, have a cause and effect. Generally speaking, we as people have been living pretty negligent for years. The fact that something of this magnitude could (and is) happening is always a possibility. We are not invincible.

Back to the topic of fear. By definition, the word means "to be afraid of someone or something as likely to be dangerous, painful, or threatening". In this case, that "something" is invisible and there is still quite a bit of guesswork going into how to combat it. The media certainly isn't doing us any favors in terms of providing a reassuring presence, and we should not think of them as that voice of reason. That's our responsibility.


The key is not being frustrated by this time. After all, I think time is what many of us need. Most importantly, I think the planet needs a break. Ideal outcome is that we come out of this knowing nature deserves better. Have you taken the time to consider who much we take from the world's resources with little reciprocation? How about how much we take from one another with very little reciprocation? Please, take this time to ponder, identify, and improve.


Stay safe, healthy, and productive. Love & Light.
