Lessons With A King

It is scary to start things but the only way to make things happen is to begin. Start and do the work. Once you start, you can build momentum and build on that. Bit by bit, you have a complete project. So, do what you have to do to begin.

PROMPT: What was the last project you started?

Things will happen in life that you never planned for. Accidents. They suck but we have to learn to accept that life happens. As long as we are alive we should dust ourselves up and move on. It isn’t easy and it will take time but the best option is to move on better equipped with the lesson from the accident.

PROMPT: When was the last time you had an accident?

In my city, every day another building is demolished as construction begins on yet another project. Here’s the thing though, when it comes to demolishing, it takes days however the construction takes months and months. It’s super easy to break things down than to build things up. So when given the option, always pick building things. Is it the difficult option of the two? Sure but it is the better of the two.

PROMPT: What will be the next thing you build?

People are too busy worrying about their lives to think about you so stop worrying about what people think of you and live your life. Nope, you are not that interesting. Sure there might be a handful of people interested in you but they have things they are way more interested in than why you did that thing so if you want to do it, do it. Focus on yourself and your life and stop worrying about what they think. Understand this: they rarely, if ever, think of you.

PROMPT: Stop worrying about what people think of you

We are responsible for creating the person we are.  Sure we might have had fucked up childhoods or something might have happened to give us a warped sense of humanity. However, we should take these and create the person we want to be. We get to create the person we want to be and I believe that’s a freaking awesome thing.

PROMPT: What version of yourself are you working on now?
