"Motivation in 2011!!"





How's it going everyone?! How are your New Years goals/ resolutions coming along? Are you excited?

If you couldn't tell, I am very excited for this new year. In the last blog I talked about setting goals for yourself.
You better believe that my list is posted on my wall for me to see everyday so I stay on track. 
This year is a new year and there is no reason why you can't be successful. I think it's time to take responsibility for our lives and be the best YOU can be according to you; no excuses- I don't believe in excuses. 
I am just so excited for this year because I realize I have the potential to make 2011 better than any other. 
Instead of waking up and sulking I: thank God, look at my daily goals- reluctantly sometimes, yes, but take a deep breath and just do it. 
I feel more motivated than ever before; ready to take on the world. It helps if you work-out consistently and take multi vitamins because than you will feel better and have more energy; I go at least three times a week and I am feeling lovely!
My point is- Just do it (Nike was ingenious for that lol). No one likes a complainer or someone always making excuses. Those are tools of the incompetent- Are you incompetent? -No because God created you wonderfully so you can do all things with His help so just DO IT!! 
My last days at school are dwindling down and I will admit I have plenty of anxiety thinking about the next phase in my life but I am ready to go for it with all I have; no regrets. I am interning at a recording studio and I am ready to soak up all I can and take full advantage of this opportunity. Both my friend Margarita Rodarte' (also interning there) and I are ready to change the standards of what an intern should be; going above and beyond what is expected to get something bigger out of our experience and duration there.
One of my latest songs "Night On the Town" is a perfect example of what I've been talking about as far as motivation and such. In the song I am not having the best of days as stated in the beginning lyrics; "It's not the best of days, I'm not in the best of moods cuz my girls are actin' stank and I'm fighting with my dude..." - Nothing is going my way and it seems all bad BUT I take full advantage of the negative seeming things around me and turn it around; I decide to have a night out on the town on me. No worries, not negativity, just me, myself and I having a good time refusing to stay down. Like Aaliyah said it best, "if at first you don't succeed, dust yourself off and try again." Never allow life's situations to keep you down. I believe YOU have the power to change any situation and make it work out for you in the end. I'd like to think that's a good thing to adapt and practice in our daily lives. Too many people are stressed out and depressed- I don't have time for that. We are blessed and I refuse to be all frowned up all day cuz' that would not be a good look causing wrinkles and whatnot (that's a big no-no lol).

Clearly I had a lot to say today but I hope it does in fact inspire and motivate you.

As always, thank you for your time and support!!
