Life as it is and as it should be!
If i were to choose a material machanism that depicts the aspects of LIFE i'd surely choose a 'BICYCLE'.


I love evrything with wheels from the simple scooters, skateboards, rollarblades to cars and bicycle in the midst.
I chose bikes apart from everything else because it reminds me of life. One wheel can not work without the other and they both can't work together without
chains that links them together... but what good is it if no one padals it?.....
These wheels won't take you anywhere unless you give it a push or paddle. It is simple by nature but complex in design as we are stepping into a more modern world.
I'm not going to spend my time writing about bikes. I'm just saying we can use the material things around us and try to make sense of it in our lives.
Well like all my other posts, something triggered me to blog this in my net memory journal and share it with you. That something happened yesterday.
It was again a very hot sunny day, the heat was unbearable and the hospital was crowded i could only imagine those women standing together and rubbing each other's back while waiting for their turn to be measured and if all goes well one by one they are led to the little basicly equipped delivery room. All these women were sweating and tormented in their own 'joyful pain' as so called by my mom. Yes! i'm talking about heavily pregnant women and NO it's not me... I'am an an Aunt for the 4th time and my second brother is a dad for the 1st time.


It was the first time for me to be present at the hospital when a baby was born in our ever extending family. I did not wait in the delivery room...damnit if only i was a few minutes early i would probably be holdind my sister-in-law's hand as she gave birth but no... I sat outside on the concrete flower bed like everybody else but thanks to my ever entertaing cellphone i kept myself busy and boy...did the time flies by sooooo quickly.When my phone was flat i fibbled my thumbs, tapping my toes, oh how i longed for my ipod which a studip bitchy long distant cousin of mine lost in 2010 onlt 2 yrs after i bought it. I even counted the stars coz it was about 9:15pm. Way cooler than ealier today. The best thing is i get to watch my brother looking nervous, probably feeling agitated, dizzy from his long sleepless nights but most of all my thoughts turned to my sister-in-law in the labour ward with her mother. I can't imagine the pain she is feeling and the thoughts racing through her mind which is no doubt occupied by the status of the unborn child stirring wildly inside of her.
Anyways a friend of mine was also there the whole day because his grandpa was on life support. He told me that he felt sad knowing that the doctors say there's nothing they could do and that the best thing is to get the family around him. And and well basicly wait for the end. He told his granpa is really old and i could see the endless expression on his face as he skipped through diferent subjects to simply keep his mind off the fragile topic which is pretty much hard to avoid. I could see that he must be close to the old man.I thought about myself, I never get to know my grandparents my last grandparent died when i was barely 11 years old. All i have are but childhood memories some imprinted in me by my parents. I would've loved to know about the colonial days, the pagan ways, the old times and the traditions, probably i would be a pain in the butt for them when i'll be asking about the war and how they feel when they saw the bonbers, the white people and yellow people fighting...(japs and US)... I would be so glad just to see their wrinkled face break into a smile to my jokes. I would love to hear their advices for me. Most of all I would do anything to be their number 1 grandchile. Now i'm 22 yrs old and life goes on. I continue to push the paddle much faster while they slowed down. They do not need the brakes or the smooth road, although some times we want to change the tyres for them, out in new chains, grease it a bit, toned the tracks, it will change the fact that rider is not getting any better so we have to breath in and let it go.

My sister-in-law gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, her eyes are wide open suprisingly displaying her enormous brown pupil glancing the light for the first time and her nails are sharp with long fingers. Her hair my gosh were soft and brown poking out of her blanket. Although my brother wanted a boy I know he will build this bond to his little girl. 30 minutes later i was chatting wildly to my friend again who was also congratulating my brother. While we were chatting his brother came by and whispered something in his ear. He turned around and said "I thought it was some good news but, my granpa just died. Now he's in peace".We gave our sympathy as he strode of.

We welcomed a life as another leaves. Now my life bike is complete. We cannot live forever, just like visitors we are just passersby. Now a new rider will take the pedal and choose his/her own track untill they could not ride no more.
Welcome little one.... Rest In Peace old one.


Till then stay safe!!!

MUSIC TO YOUR SOUL!!!!

Hey, hey, hey....well how's your day mine is fine..NOT! HONESTLY MY DAY IS CRAP! i lost my job, broke up with my boyfriend, failed the audition that was going to bring an extra flow of cash...but anyway that monologue was flawed who cared about that. Who care about my damn tears, besides they look fake. What? Did you nod? Did I hear you say yes? Did you agree with what i just said? NO...DON'T. I'll tell you who cared that person in the mirror. That person who is faking a smile just so everyone sees he/she is happy, thrilled no wait...excited about life
.
Pull yourself together if you can't do that for yourself than try seeing it from a different angle, do it for the people you love.

So this is just my thoughts for the day I did have a lousy but i didn't loose my job or anything. I thought I'd better blog this down before this inspiration escapes me. Well, this week was some kinda week. It was hectic. Like totally, logically speaking i think i caused this on myself by accepting too many task for so little time and when the due dates are near I find myself skipping meals, little naps, avoid the activities that enjoys me, even refuse to do something important like interacting with the ones around me and I'll tell you.... it was a pinch of Hell!!!
So what did i do? I winded down with a cool song from All American Rejects- 'Gives you hell'...... Its not close to my situation but it does give me hell, anyways..Tyson Ritter's voice just seem to ease the mood and choke the stress outter me. Daniel Powter's Bad day could also get the stress out of you.
 


I mean hey! whats life without stress aye? Take it all in...That's all, and it goes better with MUSIC or goes out better with MUSIC..(note i add emphasis with the word 'with')
READ on and I'll tell you how music helps and what kind of music you should listen to and when. Remember with everything else it is never the right time but with Music there can always be a right time for the right kinda music.



Songs that will help you Get your Girl! (For males)
We females want a romantic suprise. No. just kidding not all girls want to be swept off their feet. I for one loves fun, and the guy who makes me laugh the most is sweeping me off my feet or if i see a guy blushing a lot. Some count for the guys who make them blush alot.
But if you want a song to make your girl fall head over heals for you than why not try these songs;

The Cab- Endlessly
Check out the lyrics on www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/cab/endlessly.html well for starters the opening sentence gives you the hint of the whole song. Of a guy wanting his lady to be the lady of his dreams and he'd do anything for her. Don't just do 'Everything' for her, don't be too deseperate or you will end up loosing her for good or you will be fooled not to notice that she was seeing someone else. Instead make her love you for who you are and who you are going to be if you are with her. Like a part of the song goes;

There's a house on the hill,
with a view of the town,

and I know how you adore it.
So I'll work everyday,                                                    
through the sun, and the rain,
until I can afford it.


These words may be so sweet for us women and far archiving for you males, but if you proof it than this love is for real. Put your head back and listen to this song every time you think there is a barrier between you, your girl and your money... Sing this song to her over the phone or be more creative and you will see it does work wonders. Also Bruno Mars- 'Just the way you are' discover the cool genres with the music that sparks the night check out top40.about.com/od/top10lists/tp/top100lovesongs.htm this website have it all for you. But i know you have more than that so feel free to explore the music in your PC.

Solution- Simply you want expressions from a song, words from your heart, you want your lover to feel connected with what you are trying to say without even saying a word.


Okay this just keeps getting better. If your girl expects more maybe coz shes a model or graduated in Princeton and you barely graduated from University well she is sooooo not for you. Love is not about your background, or class... its more about the chemistry. The reaction between two different person. One is the catalyst and the other is the component, try to a convolent bond if you must. But take this, you don't have to have everything in common. Chemicals work better when they have nothing in common but they survive in an atmosphere where their surrounding has something in common to them. Science is like human. Coz science is human. Okay enough of this science bits.. i'm just saying if your partner wants too much and don't give a damn about your simple artistic gifts than  forget her. (I'm talking more on the male side coz i know women can be very demanding its in their nature)....or not.

So put on your headphones again and listen to Robbie William 'Candy' its awesome. Worth every step it took to be on the top UK charts. The lyrics is weird but the atmosphere with that song is extremely jumpy and is the perfect solution for you to get over her madness. Apart from Robbie Williams heal yourself with Matchbox 20- She's so mean from their new album 'North', also Adam Lambert 'Whataya want from me', don't listen to Taylor Swift that's for the ladies... Not for your mood there's something about her that just sound so unrealistic. Alex Clare's song 'Too Close' is also a good one or a bit of country flavor like Dierks Bently 'Tip it on Back' or Kip Moore's 'Beer Money' or Knaan- 'You can hurt me tomorrow. In summary avoid the music with slow intro, you want the strumming, the drums specifically the type of music that will make you tap your fingers as soon as you hit the Play mode.

 
Testing your Patience! Type of Music
If you know you are going to join the ques, maybe waiting for the train, traffic was heavy, bank is the worse place or waiting for your serve at the food-on-wheels spot...whatever, where-ever.. The main thing is do not test your patience practice it with your ipod. Music will certainly make time fly, call it time travel if you like. But with the wrong type of songs like Enrique, Danish singer Mads Langer, You don't even want fast electronic disco beat for the wait. Avoid David Guetta or Calvin Harris it will only build the rush and impatience. And don't play Adele...she's good but not on these occasions.. Simply avoid the orchestra voices and sexy tones like Mariah Carrey. You want something strong, loud, fast AND long type of songs.



Solution- Listen to those 4-5 minutes songs. That includes fast rhythmical beats and endless flow of lyrics. Songs that start loud and concluded abruptly. Songs like Mumford and Sons 'I will wait', Lots and lots of songs from Train, this group is probably one of the best groups that just seem to launch music which undeniably lives up to their stage name..Train? c'mon what could be more faster than a Train? Your mind racing to keep up with the beat perhaps. Listen to their songs like 'Drive By', '50 ways to say good bye', ' Hey Soul Sisiter' or how about the group from Iceland known as Of Men and Montsers- 'Little Talks'. You need multi instrumental music to dissolve the clock face ticking nearby. If you are a Raggae fan, Bob Marley and Lucky Dube has alot of up beat 5 minutes plus reggae song though their lyrics are not tight it will help pass the time while you are jamming to it.

 Go for it!!! type of music
Especially for Girls. You know those days when you have this edge in you where you just want to set out and get that or this, by doing something whether it'd extreme or simple there are certain type of songs that will no doubt console your inability and bring out this anxiety of curiousity to say  YES I'LL DO IT!!!
Bridgit Mendler - 'Ready or not', Kelly Clarkson- 'Breakaway' or 'Catch my breath', Journey- 'Don't stop believing', or you could try Keisha see if it works for you her songs are funky and fast and creative in a way that will still release this EGO CLASH in you while you try to keep up with the lyrics. Listen to Keisha's 'Who we are' and 'Tik Tok'. Oh oh and before i forgot have you heard of Pink's song entitled 'Try'? Oh boy that's a good one, keep your energy and determinism up with the song 'Try'- it's all about how you need to fail in order to succeed, it does help, you know with relationship heartache and this pulling through thing, Check the lyrics to while you're at it www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/pink/try.html.... surely those songs will set the fireworks of. You can try similar artisit like Katy Perry or any other songs that are similar to these rhythms. There are many matching songs on the Christian charts like Britt Nicole's songs and the new one 'Gold' (love that one..

Solutions- Listen out for those songs that are funky, so fast that you can hear the singers inhaling quickly or so inspiring that you can hear yourself completing the sentence even if you aren't familiar with the lyrics. Check the lyrics too on www.lyrster.com/





Now if you are a country lover than stay tune to your kind of music. Country songs can heal your soul but it has to be like REAL COUNTRY music... i'm talking, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Luke Bryan, Dierks Bently, Scotty Mcreery also lots of pure country female sensations like, Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, Shania Twain, Dolly Parton and loads more but.... note avoid Taylor Swift she is not your real country she is more like country pop...now you want real strings and stramming and that cool pleasant, heavy (hmmmm), natural country voice from males.


Country Solution;
Start your day with a nice enjoyable country music like Luke Bryan 'Kiss tomorrow Goodbye' or Tim Mcgraw 'Right Back atcha babe' and wind down your day with.... Blake Shelton 'God gave me you', Kieth Urban 'For you', and maybe a few of Taylor Swift songs like 'Back to December' or 'Breath'.

Now if you're not a christian it doesn't matter coz christian music is for everyone regardless of what believes you hold. Lots of christian music healed lots of people around the world because of it's ever truthful, faithful, simple yet straight to the heart type of lyrics and music. Like everything else Christian music comes in all types of Genres.. there's Rock like Skillet , MercyMe , 12 Stones, The Fray, Kutless, Whitecross, Ashes Remain to name a few. Theres also raggae, pop, punk, lots of country Christian music... Try listen to some of Brian Thomas Littrell's song, he is also a devoted Christian and musician at heart. Why did i say that? Well he is also a part of the famous boyband Backstreet boys right. And even with this much fame he continued to make good music without a wrong foot first. in other words fame did not destroy this awesome singer and others like him.

ONCE AGAIN FIND THE SONG THAT YOU CAN RELATE TO. MY TIP IS THE BEAT IS FOR THE MOOD BUT THE WORDS IS FOR THE HEART SO LISTEN OUT!!!!!

Phew!! Well i'm done talking or typing more like it. Seriously it's pain staking to realize that your life is bleak without music.

DID YOU KNOW?
That music plays a vital role in our Health!!!!!!


There are times when one feels depressed. Feelings of gloom and inadequacy fill one's mind and carrying out even the daily activities becomes difficult. Depression reduces brain activity and hampers the mind's ability to plan and execute tasks. Lack of the neurotransmitter, Serotonin, leads to a depressed state of mind. Soothing musical notes help increase the Serotonin levels of the brain, thus alleviating mental depression.

Anxiety is associated with an upcoming event that may have an unknown outcome. It may lead to sleeplessness and other anxiety disorders. Music plays a vital role in calming the nerves and soothing one's mind. Flat musical notes induce sleep, while natural notes provide the mind with alertness.
 AND NOT JUST THAT!
I also read in the net....(where else) that Music therapy may ease anxiety in cancer patients, well... thats what a study says,

Music therapy may help lower anxiety and improve moods in people with cancer, although it’s not clear what treatment--listening to pre-recorded CDs during hospital visits, or sessions with a music therapist--helps most, a study said.

An analysis of 30 past studies, published in the Cochrane Library, looked at the effect of music therapy or music listening in close to 2,000 cancer patients.

Compared to patients who only received standard cancer treatment, the combined data from the studies, reviewed by creative arts therapist Joke Bradt from Drexel University in Philadelphia, suggested that patients who also had music treatment rated their anxiety and pain lower, and had higher mood scores.
In addition, their heart rates were lower by about four beats per minute, on average.

We cannot forget that making music is a lot of fun as well

Poems one can relate to





Between Dreams and Reality

Sweet aroma of unknown sensation
Wake me up with a sense of completion
Grasping the truth outside of these walls
Less attention to the formidable calls

I want to be this
Rather than that
I have one life to live
And that is the fact

My solid face breaks into a smile
Dignified, less magnified for a while
Feel like i could run a mile
Because determination reveals to me the profile

Yes, call me a dreamer
For as long as i could remember
We dream it before we become it
We hate it before we like it
At the end of the day
These two words meet

On my left the door is open
Masked opportunity
False pretension in a glance
On my right
The door is ajar
A narrow step through anonymity
Separated by chance

I choose one
Whilst reaching for the other
An illuminant shade of relieve passes
Once i reach the hinges
Then I find my cover

The truth is
I don't have the key to both doors
Willing as I'm to find it
I will stress myself to hold it
Confess my wealth to afford it
Depress my health to turn it
Time is of essence but my words are more

No, I'm not there yet
However I'm rather close
My plans are not all set
Although I must say I'm ready to go

For now where am I?
In the center of poverty and creativity
One life to live
That is the base of this journey
Somewhere.... oh somewhere
between Dreams and Reality


When Love unleashed Hell

Love is in the air when you first got married
They all stop and stare when we kissed in public
Little did they know this would soon fade
When i thought it would last a decade
I smiled, I laughed, I said I do
He chuckles, he winked and said I do too
Never knew the strong arms that held me
Would slowly beat me
Those tender lips that chorused sweet words to me
Would also whisper curses at me
Is this the price of marriage?
If it is then this is the dark age
I would never consider saying those three consuming words
'I love you' is a part of the odds
Now the i hear familiar the dreadful wedding bell
And know that Love unleashed hell


(Thoughts of a women who is a victim of Domestic Violence which is a very increasing problem in the Pacific and most parts of the world. Culture protects it and Christianity opposes it. The victim stands in a confusing realm. Love is not as it should be anymore) But should we blame Love or other forces?

Marry Me, Kill me

Jane: Peter?
Peter: What is it my dear?
Jane: I love you, Do you love me?
Peter: Yes i do and always will.
Jane: Will you hate me, even if I'm fat?
Peter: No, don't even think about that.
Jane: But will you look at me like you always do when we first met?
Peter: How could i not
Jane: Will you hit me?
Peter: No. I couldn't live with myself if i did.
Jane: Will you always share your secrets with me?
Peter: Always
Jane: Will you ever consider cheating on me?
Peter: Stop asking these questions. I will never do such a thing
Jane: Prove to me your love for me
Peter: I married you didn't I?
Jane: Will I be your only wife?
Peter: Why are you asking me this, of course
Jane: Can i trust you?
Peter: I can't see why not
Jane: That's all i need to know?
Peter: Honey that is all you need to know
Jane: What does that mean?
Peter: Nothing will come between us

 (Read the poem from the bottom going upwards and see how the true colors are displayed after a few years. Its not like this in some marriage but it is like this in many marriages)

Poems

Poem: Pacific Beauty

Wake me to the scent of the frangipani and the fresh grass around me               
Spare me the description and allow me to roam free       
Under the clear blue sapphire sky
The Pacific beauty opens up my eyes   
Show what I have never seen
Take me to places I have never been
Pacific Beauty I wonder why

Wake me to the touch of the cool breeze against my cheeks
To the touch of the salty liquid under my feet   
Under a palm tree I yearned to see
This ever glistening beach in front of me   
Pinch me to remind me that I’m not dreaming   
Proof to me that this is more than a feeling
Pull me down if I’m way too high
Pacific Beauty I wonder why

Wake me to a whole new serenity   
Hold me close before the night embraces me
Speak to me before the silence allows me to escape
Chase me before the crystal water reaches me
Confide in me the peace of in-civilization
Now the palm tree is all but a blur
The sound of the waves are heard from a distance
Don’t wake me but   
Assure me that I will return to the place of the sun
Where the stillness of the environment meditates in me   
Where I can be lured easily   
Where the smile awaits me to capture the scene in my memory
Where casual never ends
Where little is everything
Now I know why
Pacific beauty is more than just scenery
More than illumination
More than a dream way or safe haven in a foreign nation
More than a treasure in a floating villa   
Pacific beauty conceives me inside and out

Writing with the Heart!


Well here I'am again. Its been a while since my last post i must say it's not that i finally decided to shut this blog down. No Way! I was simply too occupied but now i' back and with a whole new idea. We all dreams and our dreams began with ideas if you are a person who always like to take notes than good on you because I'm about to unleash the first step and the foundation of achieving your dreams. Are you ready?
WRITE IT DOWN.

That's it, you must always have a pen and paper handy because inspiration comes at any time and you need to take note of it.
Any time, anywhere especially when you are not aware..then BAM! There it appears. It is important to note the words of wisdom or advice down because there will always be a time when you feel the burden of doubt (which is human). And you know what Walt Disney say 'Keep moving forward'. Watch the film 'Meet the Robinsons its an awesome animated film, it is motivating and captures why you are important to your future.





To conclude this post i have many things i want to share about Dreams and how to get to it. I can't say i have achieved that, no... I can only say 'You are not alone, in fact Never alone' There are millions of people out there who are still searching for that stepping stone. If you already found it don't forget to share it.

Now this blog Drifterz and Dreamerz is dedicated to Poems, Short Stories and Lyrics written by people with big dreams. If you want your writings to be featured in this blog be a follower and contact me.

You, Me and this thing called Destiny!

 You are what your deep driving desire is,
What your desire is, So is your will
What your will is, So is your Deed
What your deed is, So is your Destiny

You would be what your destiny is.

So here I'm again. Yes again and i added emphasis in that word.
So hows your dream going? well mine still going good, still trying to get out of my nest and get on location (if you know what i mean). Sometimes it's easily said then done but you've gotta start somewhere, if you think just dreaming about it or talking about it is not start anything than you're wrong. You don't have to get things done physically to say you are progressing, the biggest progress in achieving your dream is to talk about it to someone and dream about it more.. believe me this kicks in the motivation(and you need motivation to proceed).

Well this week is something... the humble astronaut Neil Armstrong whom is the first man to step on the moon has died (which we all know). He has avoided the spotlight many times saying what he did is not only done by him but with the help and knowledge of many staffs in the control room and from experiences of cosmonauts who have made earlier discoveries. Well i must say he has achieved his dreams not to step on the moon but the dream to fly.

Did you know that he got his pilot license at the age of 16 before he could even drive a car. He always want to be a pilot after he sat in an aeroplane at the tender age of 6. The hopes of becoming a pilot made him thrive well in mathematics and engineering, guess he was born in the right place huh? I mean with that dream to be a pilot one day can easily be achieved when you have the industry around you. Imagine someone like that growing up in the war stricken area of Syria or in Africa. Anyway the fact about Armstrong is his goals led him to greater heights beyond his believe and that is to lead the mission to the moon. Did you know that your home PC is 10 times stronger than the computers used in  the shuttle and they are huge unlike now we have laptops and notebooks (insane). So all the thinking and navigation has to be done by the pilot and those on the ground, one mistake is vital because unlike now the computers can not correct your calculations.
Okay before i go on forever about space stuffs this post is not about NASA. Its about people making their dreams come true, some by pursuing it from the start some just by chance. People like Armstrong i believe made history just by chance he was already living in his dream as a pilot and participating in the war as member of the US Air force and then NASA released the hunt for men fit for the mission to the moon and he just happen to fit the bill just like the first man to orbit the earth Cosmonaut Yuri Baragin. Destiny can reveal your biggest leap in life it's something we have no control of. But how do we make sure that kind of destiny comes our way.

Firstly What is Destiny?
Wikipedia definition states that Destiny or fate is a predetermined course of events. It may be conceived as a predetermined future, whether in general or of an individual. It is a concept based on the belief that there is a fixed natural order to the cosmos.

Well don't mind the cosmos or the eccentric words behind the origins of the definition above. In my definition Destiny or fate is something that happens for a reason or crossing paths with something or someone that is not considered a coincidence. Have you ever wondered how destiny led you to meet people you now call your friends. How do we know if destiny led you and not pure luck. I mean eventually you have to meet someone and they are going to be your friends so that can't be destiny...right? Well my friend i would like to introduce to you the 3 golden ways you can identify your destiny calling.

1) When your path crossed several times on your field of interest.
Meaning if you happen to be at the wrong place but on the right time or the other way around. Like you never actually planned to be there but something tells you, you should and then you come across an opportunity that you just can't afford to let down.. (something like that). Sometimes you will realize that destiny is like the french term 'De ja vu' you will see or think you saw the past repeating itself in front of you, and the strong feeling like you've been here before when in reality you didn't or feel like you say those words once and doing this once when in reality it's the first time for everything. Destiny made it clear that this feeling is all you because you want it so bad. And it is calling you.

2) When several options are laid out for you and among them is you field of interest.
   It will be hard to chose one and leave the other cause all of the options are good maybe good    money, travel or more fun. Destiny is calling you to choose, take note that these opportunities comes rarely so maybe you should put into consideration things like how long you wanted this to happen? Do i want this or do i need this? If i choose the other one will i be denying my field of interest? Dude, the only person you will be denying is yourself? But you have to remember sometimes what you are interested in right now, will only lead you to what you will settle down with in the future and that's the role of destiny. Every twist and turns have its reason. Let me tell you this Destiny is more revealing when there is a cross road in your life.

3) When you can make sense of a situation.
I like this one, because its true. You will know that destiny is calling when you make good sense of the experience or environment around you , if you can't make sense of it don't force it you are absolutely doing the wrong thing or at the wrong place in other words 'lying to yourself'. Remember destiny or fate is something we can not decide on.... its not even physical. But here's the fact, when you feel comfortable with your life and feel like this is it then that's your destiny.
For example have you seen the film 'Machine Gun Preacher'?
 Its so cool, OK briefly. This guy was once a drug addict and after coming out of prison and a few more troubled experiences he chose to follow his wife and became a christian. Anyway he went to Africa following a mission and ended up falling involve with the poverty stricken area and homeless orphan children in the war zone. He later on built an orphan center to house those unfortunate children till now that's what he continued to do. The center burnt several times but still he continued. He finally settled with his destiny. Going to Africa was not a mistake it was deliberate. You should watch that movie.

So i hope my post is clear as the crystals on the Himalayas. Its all based on my findings from the research i conducted ever since i know my name...lol!!! Hope it will help you to acknowledge your true calling.

Who's Stopping You or What's Stopping You

Who's Stopping You or What's Stopping You

Hey dreamers or drifters. Welcome back to another dreaming post this subject just stuck to me i guess thats what happens when you have big dreams right?.. anyways you really don't wanna know where i'm typing from right now. Its Friday and for me it is "THE FRIDAY". Nothing special just glad to have a weekend spend it with Mom and dad and the family and of course catch up on some movies, very inspiring movies. In some of my posts later on, i will definitely share with you some of the inspiring film I love to watch but for now lets talk about the heading above.

OK. Let me get this right. You want to be something else in the future but your parents are holding you back? Maybe a dancer and they say thats not a real job. Or a singer but because you never sang to them they feel you are wasting your time, if thats not close how about you want to be a doctor but financial problems are holding you back from even sitting the CUT test. You want to be a pilot but there ain't no pilot schools near you and no scholarships for trainees so you sat back under a palm tree somewhere with the sand between you toes and watched

the aeroplanes fly above until it disapeared between the clouds imagining how the clouds and islands looked from up there.
Undeniably most of us kept on wishing on a falling star or even in broad daylight. I myself find myself repeating the words "I wish" every time something remind me of my dream job. Many obstacles are holding us back (No doubt about that) but some of the obstacles are barely necessary, some of the barriers holding us back involves with in our minds which evolves in our head.
Let me break it down for you according to my findings based on my costless research entitled "According to Myself" which i have been conducted ever since I know how to spell the word "Dream"....(lol!). No seriously.

What is Holding you back?
That is the significant question and always will be if you don't address it. Sometimes we have to make decisions that some people close to us will consider it as drastic or too mature. But hey everything is worth trying. And NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE TO A WILLING HEART.

Some factors holding you back can be:
- Distance
- Family
- Finance
- Illness
- Mindset
- Past experience
(Did i miss anything?)

Please allow me to elaborate.

Finance
Going to school is a burden to parents especially if you are a very sensitive teenager. Wanting too many things and peer pressure brings you down hard that you find your grade smiling back at you with the worst letters or figures in your life. Scholarships can be hard in this situation and you might turn to odd jobs to build a simple saving. The good thing is its never too late to learn and achieve your goal.
If what you want to achieve is way too expensive then there are people with money about but you have to be persuasive and show the new you and show why you are the better investment for them. People will be willing to invest a great sum on someone who displays the potential. Do short courses, get many experience and be involved in your goals, the wind will blow you to the people that pays this could be the solution to your financial problem.

Family
Families are the first people to support us or destroy our dreams. It doesn't mean your parents don't love you. Some parents just don't know when to take in the fact that you have to leave the nest and chase your goals. Have you seen the film 'Colledge Road Trip' its kinda like that. If your family is holding you back then you have to pursuade them why it is the best alternative for you. Show them what dream plan. But you must leave room for their complaints or comments because like it or not they are the first people to invest in you by paying your fees. So you gotta feel for them.



Distance
I like movies and i wish I'm a film director or actor but I'm from the pacific. There are little or no
opportunities for people with interests like mine. I search for advices in the web and one main
answer to make your goal come true is "I've got to get on Location". Location? Location? LA,
New York, America? England? Australia? It's far. Well this is not only for movie makers but other careers too. To find the right jobs you have to have the heart to move. Again slap me if im wrong but saying it is easy doing it is tough. If you think moving is tough then you have to change your mindset.

Mindset
Check out my earlier post on Changing you mindset. All i can say now about this is, ones mind is
strong which is why you have to have a plan and write down the reasons why this is important to you. And be sure to write down all the good that can come out of your goal once you have reached it. Every time if you feel down or discouraged don't take drastic actions and just QUIT. NO no way. Remind yourself you are not a quitter. Refer back to your goal plans and what you write to build your courage again. This works, by doing this you are building or adjusting your mindset. True success comes from people who fail. Somehow Failure is the best way to succeed.

Illness
This is a very tough factor because some genetic illnesses just won't heal thus causing a massive hit to your future dreams and goals. Or even a tragic accident can turn your whole life around. I'm no expert and i can't say i know what its like but thanks to Empathy I emerse myself in that world. What i find is although your dreams are shattered by an accident or illness its never too late to keep on dreaming and help others to achieve theirs by your experience. If you feel you can still do it then the only way is to train yourself to keep it going. The film Men of Honour is a good inspiring film or Soul Surfer or even the stroy of Ryan White. Dreams don't always turn out the way you want but the best part of life is to make other people realize what they have and be greatful. To put your footprints in the sands of time.

Inspiring films you've gotta watch!!




Past Experience
This factor is rough, depends on what experience a person has in the past. Some people from broken family did well in achieving their dreams because they do not want their child to have the same experience. Or they want a good life for their young sibling for example Oprah Winfry from her wikipedia you will find that she grew up in poverty and look at her now (billionaire i
see). Let your past be the way forward for you to the future. I believe in the words "To understand the future you have to revisit the past" coz what goes around comes around right?...
The solution is in your scars.

To conclude the bottom line is understand the factor that is holding you back or stopping you from achieving your dreams. Understand it. Deal with it. The final i like is "JUST GO WITH IT".
We've got one life to live make the most of it without hurting yourself and the ones close to you.Well i think Ive touched on everything Ive mentioned. Find your stepping stone in the factors to achieve your dreams.

Thanks for reading... Cheers!!

When you are you!!







When you are you!!!

The truth about my blogs is i post what i like and like what i post... I tend to be more  open and  to tell you the truth  as you can see I'm more focused on dreams and people with big dreams. Like really big, big dreams. While typing this i got myself thinking also "How the heavens am i gonna be what i call ....my dream job, in the future?"
You have no idea what I'm talking about do you? Good it means you have to follow me on my recent posts. Everyone knows something right? and I'm sure what you know or you think you know will eventually build you and others who know nothing.

Well enough with the intro!
Today's post is all about YOU!!

Check out the dialogue:

Adele: Why are you wearing blue?

You: What? I like Blue

Adele: No you don't, you practically hate the color ever since you caught your ex wearing a sexy blue strapless dress in the club kissing some other guy. That's how bad you hate blue

You: Guess its my way of saying, I'm with someone now

Adele: You know that isn't true

You: How would know?

Adele: I'm your flat mate, there ain't a girl sneaking around the apartment since U KNOW WHO. Besides you're not the type of guy who heals quickly Ive seen how you go down

You: You right i hate this color, I'll change

Adele: Wait. Maybe its time you meet someone new

You: What are you talking about?

Adele: You know what the hell I'm talking about

You: Lets go party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can tell in the dialogue that they are friends for a very long time. Connecting to each other like siblings. The point is you have no idea how the person beside you knows you better. I have a personality i really hate and I'd do everything in my will to get rid of it. The strength to listen and admit that I'm wrong. I hate saying words like "You're right" or "I was wrong" but I'm grateful i get to say those word without a grudge now. Because i accept being me. But it doesn't made me perfect but hey, there is light at the end of the tunnel when you are being YOU!!

Honestly all those High School moviessss are wrecking innocent minds right now. Full of Wannabes and Fakers. Just because the girl in front of you is way better looking then you and is going out with the hottest boy in class doesn't mean you have to go on a shopping spree to get a new wardrobe (Strictly girls). Or if the fresh faced guy in your office is attracting many women with his Dolce suit and Rolex watch doesn't mean you have to save up for a Ferrari. Although you know tides will turn for you with the short dress- to- impress trick  BUT the real you will find a way to come out eventually and oh boy....you don't want that to happen coz....it will crash you down. BOOOM!!
Tides do turn in life but let it turn at its own time. Be cool don't rush it.

Why being YOU is Significant!!
Three Golden Reasons and it revolves around the real thing...DREAMS or GOAL.

- To be YOU, will give you a whole new perspective of the world known as Honesty. And when you are chasing a far fetched dream, pretending will slowly smother you. If you know what i mean. Honestly with honesty you've got nothing to hide.

- When you are you , you will discover yourself more completely and adjust the personality you dislike by accepting comments from others. But don't take every comments personally some people will try to bring you down simply to change you. So its good to always get a second opinion especially from close friends.

- When you are you, you will find the ego or the rush to pursue your dreams. When you realize your dream  or your goal take action by doing something. Anything that makes you feel a step closer to it. And you will hear yourself saying "Wow is this me?" Take a good look coz that's the real you and YOU'RE GONNA NEED IT!!

Drifters go round in circles to discover who they are or what they want in life. Its OK to be a drifter but take this, a drifter without a dream or goal is useless, waste of time and there no happy endings to this. You will die drifting. YOU NEED TO DREAM!!


Gobble this:
If other people are commenting on you with pressure than you should act and think about changing yourself. In every people the best is deep within, it takes time and influence to bring the best out.

DON'T CHANGE BECAUSE YOU WANT TO. CHANGE BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO. CHANGE LIKE YOUR WHOLE LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. then you can say hello to the real you..the new you but never the perfect you......(there is never a perfect person). But what the hell! As long as you reach your goals right?...Whatever.

Believe me it works even better when YOU ARE YOU!!
Thanks for reading!! Hope it helps you and the person hiding in YOU!! Cheerio!
Digest this iconic words!!!

CONNECTING OUR DREAMS!! Finding your Main Chain!!


CONNECTING OUR DREAMS!! Finding your Main Chain!!

Well hey there!!
If you haven't followed my recent post then you will have absolutely no idea what I'm typing about or where I'm heading at. I was hoping, hoping and thousand times hoping to attract many young readers who have doubts about their future. Hey I've crossed that line you're not alone mate!!

Recently touching on the word Mindset! i do hope i got you thinking. Anyway, without the real connection you will still find yourself in a maze. This is what i like to call "MAIN CHAINS".
All of our thoughts and dreams have connections, in your spare time draw it up. Write down your goals and interests in life and things you really enjoy as a teenager look back, way back and wwaaaaaayyyyy back when you were a cute little child.... you might see you still enjoy something you enjoyed a lot as a child.. I'm not talking about your cutenesssss. Don't let it get through your head..... I'm talking about some of your childhood interest, though it is said that when we were children we think like children... I like to put it this way when WE WERE CHILDREN WE DID THINGS LIKE CHILDREN. You get my connection? We can still do those things but like adults or in a more mature way. If Tony wants to be a fireman at the age of 5, he'd be wearing costumes and playing with the garden hose. 10 years later, he'd be hitting the gym working on his abs and attending talks held by community's fire service. And he'll more likely to be a volunteer and lets not forget he'd be filling out an application form as soon as he graduated. Some 10 years later he quits the service and joins Rescue Ops, wheres the connection? He like rescuing people and be the hero of the day. Now that is his "MAIN CHAIN".


In other words its just a way to make it sensible... And in life Sensible has to be your friend. Like close, coz if you can't make sense of anything you will continue to ask yourself this stupid question "Why did i do that?"...
Thats the main reason why in your Dreaming map or your personal goal achieving web you need a MAIN CHAIN!!!
Apologies i was going to show you my dream map or goal web i drew up the other night unfortunately i misplaced my notepad. Damn i really did put a lot of color into it. Anyway i'm still gonna tell you how its done.

Step 1
- Think about what your goal is
- Think about what you are doing now

Step 2
  Answer questions like
- Is what I'm doing now gonna help me achieve my goal or am I drifting away   from it?
- Am I being honest to myself?
- Who am I lying to?

What 2 do!!
Draw on a blank A4 paper a circle in the middle and in that circle write your dream job. Outside the circle write your present activities or studies or job you are doing now. Try to make sense of it why you are doing it and try to connect it towards the circle in the middle. You will be looking at your Goal web with your sets of Main Chains. Sometimes it takes days to complete coz you will need to think critically. If you can't find the connection towards the circle than you are a drifter. Meaning you are still confused what to write in the circle.


 Find your reason why it matters to you. That is your link in connecting to your main chains. Like the blue link in this picture.

Note: Be realistic a dream job or goal is something you are struggling to achieve. Something that is real. If you write things like "Must Marry Prince Harry" then think again you need a bigger paper for that.....hahahahahahaha i mean. No Offense. Write a kiss list instead.

Now i hope this information does help you. I will show you my goal web if i find it. If not than I'll write another new one.. Keep on following this blog and lets drift together!! Be a follower and you can also be a guest blogger. If you think you have some advices or personal experience on achieving your goal then be a follower you can blog with me.

Enjoy the clip below. It's one of my favorite motivating songs i listening to.. Gavin Degraw "I don't wanna be anything"
