Activating the Why Not Me? Mindset

Throughout my life I’ve been surrounded by encouragers and discouragers. Sometimes we aren’t conscious of which ones we are listening to - especially if the biggest discourager is yourself. 
Fortunately, I’ve had more encouragers than haters, but for years the critic in me refused to accept their love and support.
My utter lack of positive self talk led me to believe that I didn’t have worth - that I was just basically draining every one around me and wasting their time. I started losing consciousness in my life and my inner critic sabotaged me whenever I was reaching towards success. 
Then I stopped listening. A question popped into my head -
Why not me?
Now, I strive towards clear objectives and goals every day, and I get to be proud of who I’ve become.
What’s holding you back? What’s stopping you from coming up with the next big thing or from changing the world, even if it’s just in your immediate sphere? 

Just start asking, Why not me?

I promise it will change you forever.

The Virtue of Being A Rolling Stone

My dad loves the Rolling Stones. He loves their energy, their passion, their endurance – over fifty years performing but what he loves the most is how raw they sound after all this time.
Mick Jagger doesn’t exactly have a classically beautiful voice and he dances like a chicken, but everything he does is dripping with heart and soul.
When my dad is trying to make a point about going full force after a goal or pursuing a dream, he references Mick Jagger and the Stones.
People are drawn to truth and vulnerability. It’s not about hitting all the right notes. It’s not even about having perfect rhythm. It’s just about making people feel something deeply – this applies to anything – business, art, relationships – truth resonates.

True passion (which the artist and creator knows behind closed doors is obsession) is an emotion everyone wants to feel – it’s enchanting, it’s magnetic, it’s electrifying – there’s magic in putting it all out there for everyone to see.
