“Focus on the ENERGY you create in this world.”

Whatever you may be balancing in life right now, wherever you’re working hard to get to, you’re doing a damn phenomenal job.

We’re all trying to do the best we can with competing responsibilities, limited time, and lofty goals, but we’re doing it and that’s all that matters.

If fear, pain, doubt, and money are barriers. Only YOU can change that. YOU have the power to stop holding yourself back.

Breathe in. Breathe out. Keep on breathing out the bad and breathing in the good.

Boundaries. Set them & then KEEP them.

Don’t worry about shining too bright. Don’t dim your light. Don’t waver from your path. Build your strength so that being powerful becomes second nature.

Humans need breaks. Humans need to cry. Humans need to feel mad, sad, happy, and all the emotions in between. And humans need to have boundaries. 

If your drive, direction, and destiny are bigger than your current environment, build your own damn environment.

Don’t be afraid to smoke the competition, because you are the only competition.

Life is about building memories, creating energy, and helping people.

Your soul cannot take material things with it. All the “stuff” does not matter. How you make others feel matters.

To create a market for your writing you have to be consistent, professional, a continuing writer – not just a one-article or a one-story or a one-book man.

People hire me to create some kind of archetype or some culture type, or something. I guess they accept whatever I come up with.

Love is created and preserved by intellectual analysis, for we love only that which is unique, and it belongs to contemplation, not to action, for we would not change that which we love.

The ethical view of the universe involves us in so many cruel and absurd contradictions that I have come to suspect that the aim of creation cannot be ethical at all.

Attitude creates your world and designs your destiny.

Vegetation is the basic instrument the creator uses to set all of nature in motion.

Since new developments are the products of a creative mind, we must therefore stimulate and encourage that type of mind in every way possible.
