The pursuit of infinite success
Creativity produces both pain and promise. From the paradise of words to the elite sketch of an artistes pen, we escape beyond distraction. Beyond the boughs of our blessed reality, to a kingdom where giants sleep, and castles refuse to be concocted in air How many of us spend year in and year out, terrified of rejection, that stamp of disapproval. Yes you are, yet no your not who you profess to be. Therefore we procrastinate, tip toeing towards our greatness, eager to explore our hungry selves. As a creative remember there are always three perspectives, you, the publisher, and the audience. If it's a product, well, whatever you produce becomes product. The internet is your marketplace, it is your playground, to pitch, market and make a profit. Every writer needs a handbook, a marketing guide that assists you with the financial conversion of creative product to financial outcome. Where is the gap in the market? Are you using Google keywords or the search engine optimisation tool to find what your audience is looking for, have you created a mind map with much structure to organise other elements of your journey, such as networking, events or galas you can attend. Some of us are beyond our dreams, once you find a formula, stick to it, it may be repetitive, tedious, exhausting, yet you are striving towards a positive outcome. Keep going
Confidence for the artiste
The assumption many of us make as creative's is to believe we are separate from a Marxist, capitalist society. In order to excel at your business and make your product more prolific, you have to promote, promote and promote. Generate effective leads via a website or a blog, link to key article sites, magazines and newspapers, request a freelance spread. It is important to showcase the potential of your product, what are it's strengths. Hold a forum, acquire qualitative research about its weaknesses. As much as we all want to be endorsed by business angels, investors, grants and funding companies, pay attention to crowd funding, tap into as much financial information as you can. Add yourself to directories, be active on social media, market, market, and pitch effectively. If you can sum up your product in less than three minutes your on a winning streak, if there are a lot of ers, ohms, and you find yourself indecisive, you could be in trouble.

Warriors
There are warriors in us all;
Lions fight Goliaths
ten foot tall
Though were scared and chomp
at bits
We climb barriers and
out of it
Pure vision lies
with Strength within
A soldier denies
to let light dim
Fight with passion
fight for life
we gasp for Oxygen
to survive
When you fail
Fight to thrive
This is you
upon the edge
Standing near
a jagged ledge
And all those questions
That you ask
Hidden in
Your faded mask
Wipe those tears
beyond glass eyes
For pain is buried
Drilled in deep
It lulls you
when you fall
asleep
Life as punisher
Life as friend
Riddles at the start
and end
Your
precipice
Your recipe
for success within
let glowing lights shine
and beam
Detonate explosions of fear
Hold your head up
for your still here
For your still
The soldier rings
the shrill alarm,
We stand at ease,
and remain calm
snap our fngers
Lick dry lips
Tilt our heads
Prepare for abyss
it's imagination
station
Be addicted
to your dreams
don't let them fester
let them steam
Heat them up,
Cook and boil
Nails are dirty
Let hands toil t
let the scent travel upon the air
smile at those fuckers
your already there.
The unstoppable dream
Pen to paper
That fades to nought
Missing selves
We once were sought
I christened you
My wandering dream
A fleeing spirit
A soul above the water
Tiptoe
And make ripples
Burp to life
The green ocean
Is no.paradise
Come to me
I summon you
For once United
We're unstoppable
Two plus one
Missing ink
In pointed pen
The shattered glass
Tattooed blood lens
Oh we wake up with dreams
We do
Silence is killing
Bones are chilling
Detroit mind
Leaking on traveled floor
Where dogs would miss
Not once before
I lower myself
Upon the knee
And find the pearls
For there are
Three
Trick of mind
A trick Of mind
It comes at will I close my eyes
And return still
To closet dreams
And pains that lay
Upon the knees
I humbly pray
Chomping at the bit
The teeth The teeth
We sharpen all our claws
For the teeth
Championing a mind at will
A trick of mind I champion still
This aching mind
Imprisoned still

Faceboy
Let me unpeel
The mask from you
Those things were
Grey and now their
Blue
This shock of distance
Just like this
Amidst this pain
And much of this
I see true reflection
With obvious scars
With dappered wing
And broken bar
Cellophane skeleton
In your wall
Your reddened flesh
The puss you saw
Why hide your face
From me
I see the pages
Of bibliography
A casket closed
But body kicks
I see
There is
More to this
The chaos and the explorer
Life can be chaos, carnage, yet we are all born with an inner strength. A light where the shadows are charcoal, a blanket for hollow walls. Knock twice and the infinite door of the mind shall be opened, a tomb of skeletoned ideas that can impact your world and the pursuit of your dreams. I forever am asking a former self, how I can evolve, become better, reach a brighter plateau of existence. Strength is not simply a smile where there is no chaos, sometimes we find strength when there's mutiny within. When we're conflicted, when we're desperately seeking passage and accommodation in a peaceful place. Do not punish yourself for old mistakes, and if you.have made an err in.judgement, a real apology is from the heart. You must first apologise to your best of friends, the reflection.in the looking glass. It houses the soul, and many times our souls need communication. Talk it out with someone positive t to get an unbiased perspective, and when your ready to move on. Make a promise, take a bold step. You are exploring a different realm of the self and unloading all the negative emotions you've hoarded, one heartbeat at a time. You are unplugging from the fuse box, there will be sparks.
STEERING SUCCESS
Real strength takes time to develop. It’s not about the lone figure posing against the darkness, or the person with the biggest mouth chanting about their successes in an attempt to alienate your accomplishments. Real strength is a private thing, a private experience. It’s about building core self belief no matter how traumatic the episode. Its tough watching parts of your identity disappear into quick sand. It’s certainly not easy for the ones that love you.
Furthermore it’s a nightmare for you, standing around waiting for an old reflection. Self esteem, and strength is a ladder you climb, one step at a time. People may not feel the change; they may not get the courage it takes for you to stand there with even a half smile in your pocket. Some may be annoyed and convinced you’re dragging your feet. You know you’re fighting even if the world can’t see. It’s like challenging someone invisible to a dual, and the stakes are incredibly high... The stakes are you. I always found it hard when I’d work and work at building myself up, an old vulnerability would rear its head and the people around me would fixate on that. Convinced I was making no progress at all. Progress doesn’t come over night, vulnerability is not a weakness, it’s a challenge, it’s an opportunity to be a testament. Words can be thick and slow, the action disappearing under a veil of illusion. Here’s the thing though. When it’s hard to be strong for yourself, it’s hard to put the performance on for everybody else in your life. To convince them that you’re still the same person they liked, the same character they joked with, played gin rummy with, went sailing or even played football with. Healing no matter the situation is like a scar. Sometimes it appears long gone. Then you trip in some way or you bump into something, the wound is raw and begins to bleed.
Some people pick at their scars eager to know what lies underneath. Beneath the porse and blood. When your soul is damaged, or you’ve experienced some sort of life jolt, people usually tell you things like love yourself, or snap out of it, even stop being a victim. We all want to be strong. The gloss in the magazine, true life story turned action hero. Here’s the reality, were not always going to get it spot on. Those who are watching, you’re not always going to look at your family member/ friend/ work colleague and ‘say Jesus dude I respect the way your crumbling man. All this crying and stuff, your an icon.’ As hard as it is to do. Celebrate their baby steps; eat up their word to action. It should be ice cream to you, or a snack that gives you that sense of contentment. They’re on their way. The end of the road starts with one step, a journey, a process. It could take a few weeks, a month, and a year. Nobody’s asking you to worship their self pity. Just understand that different people feel pain in different ways. Pain itself is a composition of layers. What someone is hurting with, weeping over can seem absolutely miniscule to you, but it could be the incident that made the wire snap. This person could have experienced a history of discontent, rejection, loss? Maybe they had failed at numerous things in the past. Here’s the thing, nobody’s asking you to be a saviour. It’s impossible to deny how taxing someone’s melt down moments are, the spin it puts on a potentially blissful situation. Adventures that end with tissues, and the repetitive intense cross analysing. Sing about the moments they do achieve something that can get them back to state. A glow in the dark, a snapshot and a reminder. “This is you, you’ve been a little lost amigo, but you’re on your way back. “ The hope will set the wheels into motion. A little hope, a little light.
Where do I start? Start with this. Success is a process. Instant gratification 99 percent of the time is a fiction. The easy answer is passion, determination, faith, belief. Success takes action and completion. There should be no dream without the hunger to activate it. Talk isn’t cheap. It’s expensive. Many people, and I’ve definitely been one of them, rant about a vision that will change their lives in the near future. Something that will translate them from a base level dreamer, to someone the world looks up to. When I first ventured into writing I would talk for hours about the books I would finish, the story line, the characters, all the intricacies of a Hollywood movie plot. Time and again, there would be blank pages, novels gone uncompleted, long winded excuses. Until one day I’d lost so much self confidence in myself, I was terrified to even pick up a pen. Nervous to bring up any ambitions I had, for fear that even dreaming them could bring failure. After writing I felt I needed to make money and boost my self esteem, so I went into photography. “Photography will be a challenge, I’ll make a fortune and I’ll have fun.” INCORRECT. I managed to accomplish finding a potential investor for my business, a partner to provide me with free vintage clothing wear for upcoming photo shoots, a marketing campaign which acquired the customer details of over 300 potential clients. Have you heard the statement if you fail to plan you plan to fail. I had not completed my business plan outline; I had no official website, no administration team, and no regular studio. I had lost more money than I could have dreamed of. After two years of struggling with an up and down business. I finally decided to return to my passion, writing. After years of procrastination, I achieved a feat so incredible even I was dumbfounded. With focus and motivation, I completed my first fiction novel in four weeks. That pride gave me the confidence to start editing, and begin outline sketches for the rest of my stories. Ideas are fantastical things. Where would we be if Alexander Bell, Martin Luther King, and Anthony Robbins all the great leaders of our time simply had an ‘idea’ to become. We’d be living in a world full of holes and half finished jigsaws.

Getting over seizures in public
Now this is a bit full on for me, the thought of someone tampering with my brain. Although playing devils advocate,if your seizures create enough dysfunction, you should look at all avenues that look at progress and change. It's not instantaneous the results we see, but we need to take risks if we want positive results. my epilepsy started in my early teens, but lucky for me at the time I had a mindset not to let it define me. Focus on something outside of the epilepsy. Change your diet to a healthier one, meditate to calm and soothe the mind. I usually go for long walks it helps me document my ideas with the recorder on my phone, and express my feelings in a positive arena. A journal is a great idea, it will help you recognize key triggers and look at how your medication is working for you. How are it's side effects affecting you, how can you counter them? It's important to face epilepsy looking at a positive outcome.
How some people have cured seizures?
Does this actually work, I'd feel like I was simply getting high for the sake of getting high. My gosh epilepsy and at times it's shenanigans. Mentally epilepsy requires a form of exercise, exercise is the bodies retribution for any disassembly.get active, go for walks, sfrolls around the park, take yourself dancing, put yourself in a positive frame of mind for doing hobbies you are excited about daily and things you enjoy, structure your day, and do not let epilepsy dominate your experience of living. Epilepsy is only a small part of who you are and your experience of life.Don't make it the centre.

Power to be positive
I recently watched a video on an epileptic going skydiving, he had a seizure in mid air. My guess is, he came right back and did it all over again. It's a personality type, a risk taker, a go getter, someone with guts. A disability does not define you, you define you. Whether your little large, big or small, your mindset defines who you become your rabbits tell the world who you are. When I think of this as an epileptic it's not the seizure that defined the moment, this guy had the guts to go ahead and seize the day......literally.it takes a lot of power to be positive after a moment like this.
