What I Learned Yesterday September 1 2008
Seven years ago today I decided to change my life and take accountability for my current situation. I wasn't doing good and I choose many of the wrong people to hang with.
The first thing I needed to do was organize my life. To balance my creative output with daily education and consumption (entertainment). This one small thing completely changed my life. I just started to organize my day and things have gone up ever since.
I see that with one of our interns now. We have a guy who has it all but can't figure out how to control his emotions. He's an artist in the making but is only 21 years old. So what he's feeling inside doesn't balance with his daily routine. It's hard and it reminded my of myself and many people get depressed because they are not organized in life.
Most of us have a lot going on inside of us. Our emotions go up and down and we need to control it. I guess it's called being mature when you can and you're immature when you can't. It's obviously not that simple, but I guess the sign of being an adult is being a person who can organize their life.
What I Learned Yesterday August 31 2008
The end of the summer. This time of the year always bring out the most polarizing emotions for me. As a kid it meant school started and it meant my birthday was approaching. It also means that football season is here, which is always my favorite thing.
I like the fall season and it's my favorite out of all the seasons. I like the North Eastern weather and I know I only have 4 months left to accomplish all of my goals.
