Thoughts: I'm Not Creative

Hmmm I think will be a good start to this. I was dominated by this thought for the first 22 years of my life. Being surrounded by people that had a negative and scarce mentality towards life had a huge impact on my beliefs and limitations. Like so many kids, I was told that the only way to have a successful life is to either become a Doctor, Engineer, Accountant or be in the IT industry. It's funny, this was repeated so many times that it was burned on my subconscious mind. This was the ONLY thing I knew but none of these "grand" career paths excited me even for a second.

I was always into my paintings, fashion and music from an early age, although I never ever ever thought that doing something I really love would be 10,000x better than anything else. You see, our mind is like a sponge the more you impress an idea on it, that idea turns into our new reality. So, even though I was a creative kid I had to let go of my love and waste my time on something I hated. Being frustrated and depressed for 10 years doesn't even come close to describing things I experienced then. That was my reality until 4 years ago when everything changed.

Now, it's hard for me to be around people that give me reasons (deep down its just laziness) on why they aren't following their dreams and living THEIR life the way they want. Seriously, you're telling me that being THE HIGHEST AND THE MOST INTELLIGENT form of creation on this planet, you were meant to be a slave of other peoples beliefs and be lazy?

Thank you for reading this little part of my mind. I value your time as much as mine and will never put out anything that's mediocre. I have so much more coming. More music too, stay tuned.
