Staying Motivated!!!

Hello All!!!

I hope you have had a wonderful Holiday and that you are enjoying the weather change!! I was recently contacted by a friend and she asked, "How do you stay motivated and what keeps you fighting for your dreams?"

So, this is todays topic. She is not the first person and she will be the last to ask me something of this nature. But, I will share with you my personal view on this topic.

You Life is What you Proclaim your life to be!!!
Whatever you chose to be the point or purpose of your life it will be!! And you should never let anyone take that from you. But I also believe it should never make you question your actions, nor should your action be done with the intention of disturbing someone else's dream! Karma is real, so you must give to receive.

Motto I live off my motivation:



"Dreams can come true, they can happen to you" or "If you can dream it, you can be it!"

I know this may sound funny, I think it's from a song in a Disney movie, but I believe it to be true. On a spiritual level, if we can go there for a moment, I think it is the preparation of what is to come or could come to realization in your life. On a scientific level they say, that dreams are your minds organizations process, sorting through all the events of your day and solving questions that require additional thought. So, dream BIG!!! and you will start to see little things moving you closer to your BIG Dream!!!


"That no-one is Prefect"

If you are not making mistakes you are not trying new things. And you have to try new things to discover new ways!

I love this one, because people act as if they have never made a mistake in there life and that a life without them, is a life to be held in high regard. I completely disagree!!! You are only one person, with great strength and potential, but things happen that are beyond your control. Marks Law "Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong" And if anyone questions you concerning a mistake or event that you could not foresee. Tell them "to kiss your ass" especially those that are not affected by this error, they just want to pass judgment on you because they are insecure. And those that blow it up into some kind end-of-the-world thing. You are not the anti-chris and they need to get a grip. Just make sure you are strategic in your recovery plan. It will look bad to repeat that error continually, which lead me to my next motto!


"Watching the Growth right before my eyes"

I like just jumping in and testing the water. If people receiving what I put out well, than I am doing the right thing!! And Haters don't matter, they want to see you fell. Those are the people from above, that can't see their own dreams achieved, so they crush yours.

"Haters Make You Famous!!" Well if you are strong enough to, believe in you when other don't. I could go into a long story about this but there is no need in feeding that lost cause.


"Quotes and advice I am energized by"

That there is nothing to fear, but fear itself. (Great Quote)

If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything! (One of my favorites)

If you don't believe in yourself, who else will. (Truly at the top of my list)

and last but not least and from my own library

Life is living and living is the greatest gift you can give to yourself!!



So, there it is I have exposed all my secrets to you! I name it, claim it and move toward it. The only way I know how to live my life. I might die if I don't. Not really, but I will want to shot myself, from living a very empty robotic life.

For the guys!! Objects of Temptation

One of Chicago's finest, Common sang, Hip-Hop Your the Love of my life and Fela sung about how music can move or control people. And everyone knows the saying "the power of the pussy" and everything men do is for that very thing. Well Objects of Temptation symbolizes these concepts. The image is half-toned to show the missing/lack of solid mass or fullness that comes when one is controlled by mass media and a sexualized culture. Item can be found in a few select stores now with additional locations coming soon.

Che Woo Design has more items to come as they roll into summer, so be on the lookout.
