Them: "You can't. You won't. It'll never happen. Dont be so oblivious. You're toxically positive. You're only going to hurt yourself more."
Me: I will only listen to you if you can answer this 1 single question. Throw away your doubts and your emotions when you respond. If you can answer this with pure fact, then I will listen. "HOW DO YOU GET THE STRENGTH TO GET OUT OF BED IF YOU NEVER GET OUT OF BED?"
Them:............
Me: "That's what I thought." And I got the hell out of bed!

I've been going through a lot of changes in the past few months and I have been feeling very weighed down.
"What do I have to do next?"
"Where do I go from here?"
"Could I have done this better?"
"Am I being as productive as I can be?"
With all of the questions came a lot of negative feelings that stacked heavier and heavier until I finally just STOPPED. I sat down. I took a breath and with my exhale, I felt relief.
I AM HERE. I am making moves. I am working hard, and although I may not see the finish line and catch myself going from place to place, at least I am not stagnant and being the same person that I was years ago.
Look around you. Appreciate what you have and trust the process. You may be doing far better than you believe. Just sit back, take a deep breath, and SOAK IT ALL IN!

What is the worse thing you can do to something that's been locked in a room?
Press its face to a window.

Be kind. Be understanding. Be honest. A lot of us are trapped behind walls that nobody else can see. Sometimes, the only doorway to freedom is communication, truth and trust. We don't know what others are going through. Show who you are at "Hello" because our actions can either be the key to release them or the added lock to trap them.

I may not know how to do a lot of things right but for my baby girl, I'm definitely going to try

What goes on in a hero's life when the cameras are off and the crowd is not screaming in celebration?
What struggles does a hero deal with when his experiences can't be talked about or understood by the public?
What goes through their mind knowing that they have to deal with the daily struggles that everybody else deals with such as a job, taking care of a family, and being there for his friends while also battling evil to save the human race?
Who do they vent to? Who do they get help from?

Your perception is your reality.

Some will do things out of love while others can perceive it as being done out of trauma.
Some will see certain invitations as "dragging them along" when they are actually wanting you to share the experience with them.
What's perceived as somebody being "clingy" can actually be somebody trying to show effort.
Everybody goes through certain things that will change the narrative and meanings behind actions.
These days, our realities have been misconstrued due to the constant changes and behavior that we see on social media, music, and the big screen. The hurt that you see can build insecurities and create warning signs that create fear of being hurt.

Your perception is your reality but be careful that you don't push away people that are doing what they can to try and protect you from getting hurt. Take a moment to breathe, think and communicate. Not everybody is trying to hurt you, but your fear of being hurt will hurt the ones that truly care.

A Hero’s Torcherous Demise 02/09/2023

Superman was as fast as a speeding bullet and more powerful than a locomotive. Wonder Woman had superhuman strength and agility. Aquaman could manipulate the weather and had telepathic control of all aquatic life. There have been countless superheroes with so many different amazing superpowers throughout time, but what did most of them have in common? They all resembled the average human being....

Earlier I asked my audience to ask me questions that they want me to answer. This is just one of several but this stood out the most.
"Adam, why do you talk so much s**t about people?"
When this question was asked, it caught me completely off guard. I was also wondering how many others think that I'm talking s**t, especially ones who I bring up when I speak on things I've experienced in my life.
We need to learn to take responsibility for our actions and understand that social media has built everybody to stay in their comfort zone, but how can you grow and become a better version of yourself if anything that you do is always right and if people tell you about yourself, you are wrong?
But what do I know? I'm just dissecting the world around me.

Is Keeping Yourself Safe Actually Putting You In Danger? 01/23/2023

Random rant to get my mind ready for work. Hope you enjoy and if it helps you, please let me know by leaving a comment. For a very long time, I was constantly told that I am too giving. Not so much as in material items, but more of giving pieces of myself. I was always very trusting and gave my heart away on many occasions....

This video was made 5 years ago and still holds a lot of truth and valid points.
We as humans have come as far as we have in this amazing thing called life. We have the ability to fly as well as the ability to dive into the deep abyss.
A lot of times we get stuck in this loop that we feel we can't get out of, but just like flying and going into the bone-crushing deep of the deepest oceans, once you understand how it all works, you can then figure out ways to fix it.
Allow yourself to understand who you are as an individual and close out all the noise that society pushes onto you and expect you to do. What works for some may not work for others. You got this. If I can, then sit alone and dissect everything that makes you tick. You got this. Keep moving forward.

You have the power to change the world. 01/18/2023

I am currently working on a project forcing me to do a lot of soul-searching. Shadow work as you might call it. Looking back on the chapters of my life, I noticed 1 thing that stuck out the most. I am exactly where I am today because of positivity. If you have read any of my recent posts, you may have read that I am also labeled as toxically positive....

Love is to be respected, not controlled 01/10/2023

Earth, wind, water and fire are the greatest forces on our amazing planet. It brings life as well as takes it away. It can be as beautiful as it can be ugly. The earth doesn’t try to control these powerful forces but instead allows them to shape it into the magnificent beauty that we see all around us. Just like the earth, us as individuals have forces inside of us that shape us to be the beautiful people that we are....
