Tough Days

Today was a long stressful day, filled with my roommates bitching about non-sense. I could get into all the semantics, but it would be pointless, what is that really going to solve. Anyway, besides all the bullshit I dealt with today, I had an amazing day with a beautiful woman. It's so refreshing to see black pride and power prevail through the chains and shackles of America. I live in Harlem and I'm honored to walk these same gritty streets as the greats who came before me.

Sometimes I get wrapped up in all the drama of life and I don’t step back and realize how far I have come. The young man who my family is so proud of. The entrepreneur that I always aspired to become. The courage to endure critics and take rejection because I know I love myself and that is all that matters to me. The mastery of love is a difficult and complex thing that will take me years to perfect.

I guess ultimately what I’m trying to say is that despite all the drama we create in our lives and yes we create it. We must understand that it is there for a reason and it is there to teach us. To make you a stronger person than you were before. The power to realize you made a mistake and rectify it. The chance to say damn I didn’t charge enough or I didn’t have the greatest audio. Don’t beat yourself up about, accept what you learned from the experience and move forward. Life is about capturing the brief moments we have and at 26 I’m happy for every breath of air I take.

Late Night Blog

So this is the late night blog. Life After graduation. Listening to Check me Out with Nipsey Hustle. My good friend Antonio next to me, about to hit the LES.

Everyday I wake up I feel privileged to live another day on this beautiful earth. The mind is what it creates and through those experiences your personal feelings of inner happiness guide the essence of your life. IF you have positive thoughts all the time than you have positivity in your life. You definitely experience negative emotions, anger, sadness, annoyance, etc. Despite all of these thing you know their is a silver lining and you understand the bad only leads to more good. If you believe this it will happen. I want to give you a PERSONAL LIFE AFTER GRADUATION MOMENT.

Went to the CPA at Score mentors and discussed options for my financial situation. Found out I was worried about too much and needed to focus on revenue. Music to my ears. Sat home and thought about what my good friend Joel said. Wait if I have a business location I can write off that space as an expense, then when equal that in revenue, the money isn't taxed. This is a genius concept. I feel so empowered. Loving life. Onto the next beautiful discovery.

Early morning grind

I went to bed at 4 a.m. and woke up at 8 a.m. had some french toast (did not cook) and then went to work. Its currently 10:30 and I've taken pictures and posted my apartment across social media and on 2 website listings, secured a steady video gig for sundays and sent an invoice. Good early start, but still plenty to do. I'm actually kind of tired because I'm not used to being up this early. Having lunch with a friend an then having a couple of conference calls to hopefully generate some more money. We will see what happens, but until then keep hustling and remember after graduation is when life really starts.

My latest post

So  I'm posting this to my blog because I have to write everyday. People say you should only be good at one thing. They settle too much. You can do anything you want to. Now I'm running a production company and despite my inexperience I will prevail. However, does that mean I don't want to be a great writer? No. It just means that my mind can only focus on so many things, but if we could get rid of sleep somehow, then there are no excuses.

Since this is my life after graduation blog, I'm really just going to say how I feel. Its crazy moving from the suburbs to New York. I'm writing its crazy and wanting to erase it because what happened was supposed to happen. You must believe that in every part of your life. Its not crazy it was supposed to happen. It was what the Universe had in store for you. If I could recommend anything, I would recommend reading the Alchemist. This book is about a path that everyone can understand. In that book is you and in you is everyone, we are all part of a larger Universe and larger conciseness. Love yourself.
