THINKING OUT LOUD: COST OF AMBITION

THE COST OF AMBITION 

Late nights, early mornings 

Lots of associates, very few friends 

You will be misunderstood 

You will be single unless you are lucky enough to find someone who understands your lifestyle. 

People will want you to do good, but never better than them. 

For these reasons, you will do many things alone. 

12 TIPS ON STAYING INSPIRED

ENCHANTED

It is not an artist's job to please anyone, but to bravely do the work that they are most compelled to do. It is the public's job to bravely seek out and appreciate the work that resonates with them.

MORNING ROUTINE

My routine every morning, after I have finished my coffee and read the scripture, is to post inspirational quote that speaks a hundredfold to me on my instagram. These inspirational phrases may be simple but it can turn my whole day around, inspire me to succeed, galvanize my dreams, and embolden me to take action. That’s why today, I decided to post 10 of my favorite inspiring words that have been useful in getting new perspective. Enjoy!

We make the world significant by the courage of our questions and by the depth of our answers. 

Beauty is the harmony of purpose and form. 

Be who you are not who the world wants you to be. 

Edit your life frequently and ruthlessly. It is your masterpiece after all. 

There is no elevator to SUCCESS. You have to take the STAIRS. 

Keep some room in your heart for the UNIMAGINABLE.

 Never miss an opportunity to see something beautiful.

God has the perfect timing: never early, never late. It takes a little patience and faith 

But it is worth the wait.

Logic will get you from A to B. But imagination will take you anywhere. 

Keep calm and trust God. 

DEAR FUTURE LOVER

Dear Future Lover,

I hope our love is the kind that I don’t even have to think about. I hope I never have to convince myself to love any certain part of you because I hope it all comes naturally. I hope our love is the kind that is quiet on the outside but loud on the inside. I want to love you like the space between lightning and thunder- electrified and alive but silent and knowing. And I want you to love me like the clouds love the rain. You’re going to have to let me go on my own sometimes, but I will always come back and we will always be two parts of the same thing.

M.P

FAVORITE QUOTE

I no longer have patience for certain things, not because I’ve become arrogant, but simply because I reached a point in my life where I do not want to waste more time with what displeases me or hurts me. I have no patience for cynicism, excessive criticism and demands of any nature. I lost the will to please those who do not like me, to love those who do not love me and to smile at those who do not want to smile at me. I no longer spend a single minute on those who lie or want to manipulate. I decided not to coexist anymore with pretense, hypocrisy, dishonesty and cheap praise. I do not tolerate selective erudition nor academic arrogance. I do not adjust either to popular gossiping. I hate conflict and comparisons. I believe in a world of opposites and that’s why I avoid people with rigid and inflexible personalities. In friendship I dislike the lack of loyalty and betrayal. I do not get along with those who do not know how to give a compliment or a word of encouragement. Exaggerations bore me and I have difficulty accepting those who do not like animals. And on top of everything I have no patience for anyone who does not deserve my patience

PASSION

Passion is when you put more energy into something than is required to do it. It is more than just enthusiasm or excitement, passion is ambition that is materialized into action to put as much heart, mind, body and soul into something as is possible.

Do it with passion or not at all- because almost nothing great has ever been achieved without passion.

INNER VOICE

I love quotes. From philosophical, spiritual to plain inspirational, quotes add motivation and give one’s morale a boost. At times when I feel like my head is so cluttered and filled with so much fear, resentment, extraneous thoughts and worry; quotes serve as my inner voice from which I find refuge and stillness.

While some may define inner voice as the critical friend or parent, compulsive spender, addictive personality or angry perpetrator inside of our heads, quotes that act as my inner voice are like gentle breezes that speak from a point of silence deep within me. They bring profound order; leading me to see the bigger picture while gently guiding me through life’s lessons.

Today, I would like to share my favorite quotes that inspire and motivate me.  As you navigate through my post, I hope that you will  find your inner voice as I have found mine.
