Quotables

"When you begin to really think you are number one, that's when you begin to go nowhere." ~ Stevie Wonder

I love this quote. It's so true.

Assertiveness

When I was younger I struggled with this. I always took a passive approach to things. With the thought that I deserve what I get. Instead of being ASSERTIVE and going after what I wanted. This is no way to live your life. Getting what you want can be as simple as asking for it. But if you sit back and are passive you may never get those things you want.

Art of Finishing

Are you someone who starts projects or begins something but never finishes? I am.

I'm constantly starting projects and coming up with new ideas. And being involved in the world of design, I will scrap a project in the middle.

I began thinking "what can I do to cure this self inflicted ailment?". So, I scoured the internet for solutions. I really didn't find much to fix this problem. So what did I do? I gave up.

Thats when it hit me! Some things are better left unfinished. I realized that some ideas are just bad ideas. Some projects deserve to be scrapped. Throughout a work week or day I have dozens of ideas. I couldn't possibly implement all of them. I engage in design projects all the time and half way into it I realize...its crap!

So don't feel guilty. It's my experience the ideas or projects I do complete or follow through on are worth finishing.

It might take hundreds of ideas before finding one thats worth pursuing. The key is to keep going.
