Photographs and life lesson.

Recently a talented photographer, who I also call Friend, shared an incredible picture of a North Atlantic port as the sun begins to break the horizon, kissing the sails of the boats sailing in and out of the harbor waters. The photo is captivating, and a capture that I thought must've taken a great set of equipment and set up. When I commented on the picture my Friend replied simply with "sometimes the best camera you have is the one that's with you," before telling me that it was taken with a blackberry phone. Imagine my surprise! And then it hit me - sometimes what We have is the best thing We need to have to create something incredible. Sometimes, while we waste time looking for something better, we miss that we've got the very best already with us and that very best is us.

Make Today Count.

Today, you may not be where you want to be but give thanks that you are closer to your goal, today, than when you started your journey. Give thanks for the opportunity that today provides you to get stronger, faster, wiser & closer to what it is you are after.

Yesterday is now a memory, and tomorrow is the place where only our faith can go. Today is all that matters.
Make today joyful.
Make today peace filled.
Make today matter.

19.56: A quick lesson on faith learned from Usain Bolt.

19.56.
That is the time it took for the naysayers to become, once again, believers. "Justin Gatlin's trying to close, but Bolt is already smiling." Pow.

Usain St. Leo Bolt is the fastest man in the world, has been the fastest man in the world and continues to dominate the 100m & 200m as the fastest man in the world and yet people still doubt His work ethic, His trackside demeanor and His ability. What makes You think folks won't doubt You?

Like Usain Bolt, answer their doubt with a smile and let your results do the rest of the talking.

You, too, will turn your naysayers into believers. Even if it takes a little longer than 19.56 seconds.

Dear Grandma, You are appreciated.

Dear Grandma,
I miss You.
More than any words I could ever write could describe - and I know a few seeing as You 'made' me read both the bible and the dictionary daily as a child. You sacrificed so much and loved so deeply that it burned something onto my soul that I couldn't get rid of even if I tried. It's crazy to me that even in Your death You were able to teach me the value of loving people and the fortune we are gifted each moment we are alive. You supported me as I gave up the security of the workforce and pursued my dream. I told You that I would reach my goals, that You would see my face 20feet high! It happened. After years of working and studying and learning and praying I made it - I landed my first major role in a hollywood production. Then another. And another. And then I landed the movie role. Nothing glamorous but a solid part to learn in, to learn from and to smile about. I wish You could have joined me for the walk on that carpet but You were out stretching Your wings instead.Thank You Lady for believing in me.
I love You. And, Grandma, I miss You.

Congruence.

Congruence is everything. 

Ever meet someone who says all the right things but still You feel like "something is off"? That is Our higher consciousness alerting us to a lack of truth. In the social media age where announcing the right words is so easily done, We crave now more than ever people who are authentic. People who live the words they speak. People who are who they post they are. People who are who they say they are. 

"Fake it 'til You make it," is a way to never, ever 'make it.' At least if 'making it' means being the very best, most truthful expression of who You are.
To me, the highest achievement of success comes from being love, from loving, from being free of the tyrannical nature of lies and from living with congruence.

Weak cannot understand Strong.

Stop making attempts to explain what cannot be explained. Fuel Yourself with love and fulfill Your dream. It will take commitment, faith and habitual work that some might call obsession. At times You may want to explain to them that this is simply what is necessary, that Your decisiveness is no accident. Don't. Because some will never understand.
