Hard Work and Creation

Great Zen Pencil Illustration to the words of American screenwriter, director, and producer, Shonda Rhimes. Best known as the creator, head writer, executive producer and showrunner of the medical drama television series Grey’s Anatomy. Shonda’s words remind us that Dreams don’t work unless you do.

 In your mind lies the birhplace of any creation process. In the dreaming, the thinking, the imagining. Like Swami Vivekananda said when talking about success, “Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life–think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, and every part of your body be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.”

But in the path towards the success that is accomplishing your dreams there will come a time when you have to put the mental visualization on the back burner, strap on your boots, and get to work. It’s important to visualize your dream, what you think you attract. The law of attraction is as real as the chair i’m sitting on, which I can see and bang my knuckles on. But this cosmic attraction won’t chase you around, it then becomes your responsibility to actively seek it. You have to work your way, day after day after day, towards your goal. Don’t fall into the trap of the wishful thinkers, who think and talk a lot about their dreams, but never inch their way towards them. And it’s not easy to take the dreams out of our heads and manifest them in our reality. Accomplishing our dreams is hard work but we must have faith and conviction and  generate the motivation necessary to carry through with them.  Our dreams can come true but only through hard, dedicated, disciplined WORK. There is no way around this, what you reap is what you sow. So don’t be discouraged, no matter how big the climb. If you don’t attempt the ascent, you’ll never know the thrill of swooshing down the other side. Like always, keep growing, in the light direction.

One of the most healing things you can do is recognize where in your life you are your own poison.

-Dr. Steve Maraboli


Una de las cosas mas curativas que puedes hacer es reconocer en que lugares de tu vida eres tu propio veneno

Embrace

The strength of a man isn’t seen in the power of his arms.

It’s seen in the love with which he embraces you.

Dr. Steve Marabali


El poder de un hombre no se encuentra en la fuerza de sus brazos,

Se encuentre en el amor con cual el te abraza.

Each Other’s Keepers

“Eres, sin duda, mía. Y soy, sin duda, tuyo. No importa nada. No importa lo que hagamos, lo que deseemos, lo que esperemos. No importa otra vez la distancia, ni esa pequeña muerte de la ausencia; no importa ya ni el tiempo, ni el olvido, ni la sangre buscándote, ni el mutilado encuentro. Eres ya mía, mía, sin palabras, sin giros, sin metáforas; mía ya sin ti misma, como tuyo sin mí: los dos en uno, sin nosotros.”

— Cartas a Chepita, Jaime Sabines

You are the Master and Captain

Out of the night that covers me, black as the pit form pole to pole. I thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance i have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance my head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears looms but the horror of the shade. And yet the menace of the years finds, and shall find me, unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, how charged with punishment the scroll. I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul. 

-William Ernest Henley


 

En la noche que me envuelve, negra como un poso insondable. Doy gracias al dios que fuese por mi alma inconquistable. Dentro de las feroces garras de la circunstancia, no me he lamentado ni he llorado. Bajo los golpes del azar, mi cabeza sangra, pero no se doblega. Mas alla de este lugar de ira y llantos, se encuentra el horror inminente de la sombra. Y aun así, la amenaza de los anos me encuentra y me encontrara sin miedo. No importa cuan estrecha sea la puerta, cuan cargada de castigos la sentencia. Soy el amo de mi destino. Soy el capitán de mi alma. 

-William Ernest Henley

 

Beautiful

Be a force for the AWESOME

Wherever life takes you, leave the place shaking, disrupted and trying to imagine what it was like before you came. Be a force for change. For Pondering. And re-pondering. For love and the belief in the good of people. Go forth and be a force of the awesome. Do epic, terrifying, unheard of shit. Whatever makes you happy. And drugs. And other “bad” things. And fall in love. If nothing else, fall in love

-Jordan Lejuwaan

JOY that is coming

The Pain that you’ve been feeling, can’t compare to the joy that’s coming.

-Romans 8:18


El dolor que sientes no se compara con la alegría que vendrá.

-Romanos 8:18

Live Forever

Collaboration of two Canadian musicians, rapper Shad and singer Dallas Green

 

Why we live alone, what we living for is critical
Someone give some hope that’s breath for our living souls
Even if your physical can’t breathe stand up and lead
Me and my band of brothers advance under siege
Move towards the future the commander and chief
Plant a flag on this soul call if land of the free
Every day both rich and poor wonder what we living for

Trying to get power is a foolish obsession
Why use talent as a tool for oppression
A real king ain’t got to rule with a weapon
Dog what if we went to school for possession instead of jail
They say to stop the crazy talk Shad we never will
I guess I still believe love can never fail
Cross eyes on heaven looking crazy as hell
Maybe I dwell too much on legacy, destiny
Like I could ever read whats on the headstone ahead of me
But in my head I see we are carving the letters
Everyday that thought makes me work hard for the better
The truth comes out but it starts at the center
The heart of the matter is a matter of the heart
The heart’s made of matter that you can’t measure
That matters beyond measure like light when it travels in the dark

And when the smoke finally clears we’re gonna rise above the ash
We’re gonna live
We’re gonna live
We’re gonna live forever
What we gonna live for….
