Make it simple.
Make it memorable.
Make it inviting to look at.
Make it fun to read.
simple
It’s simple, not easy
You might have an ambitious goal, and you clearly know what you need to do to achieve it, but…
You are just not doing it.
Most of us are like this.
And by us, I mean myself.
It’s just excuse, after excuse, after excuse, with a little fear of failure mixed in to make things explainable to others.
This really kills me from inside, because I know, more often than not, everyone of us could accomplish so much more if we just cut our bullshit excuses and put in the work.
If you were looking for someone to serve you some warm and fuzzy motivational words, go somewhere else. Because I’m not writing this for 99% of you who will read it, get high off motivation, and do nothing about it making zero progress.
I’m writing this for 1% of you who I can actually impact. And that includes myself too. For people who are truly willing to make sacrifices and do whatever it takes to turn their dreams into reality.
First of all, take a cold hard look in the mirror. Look yourself in the eyes, and say: “Stop fucking around.”
Because here’s the thing.
If you know what your dream is, and you know how to get it, and you still haven’t made any progress, then you’re not trying hard enough.
Simple.
This is not meant to make you feel bad. It’s supposed to kick you in the balls.
Seriously, if you want to something, go out and fucking get it.
So decide right now: Do you really, really want it? That one thing?
Yes?
Then start fucking working towards it right this second.
I wanna hold your hand
I can’t remember how many times I’ve had this conversation with now almost everyone in this world. Trying to explain why The Beatles is the best band ever. And most of the times, I’ve been successful, but there are few times when they just don’t get it. It’s not about the music, it’s about how that music makes you feel like. It’s not about a dream, it’s about dreaming together and making it a reality. It’s about love, peace and little innocent and necessary things in life that everyone can relate to. It’s about making those things eternal. It’s about appreciating that we are alive.
Things like, “I wanna hold your hand”, “All you need is love”, “Let it be”, “Imagine”.
Simple. Innocent. Beautiful.
I found this simple reasoning that explains why The Beatles made it so big. And it strikes home.
“You know the reason The Beatles made it so big?…’I Wanna Hold Your Hand.’ First single. Fucking brilliant. Perhaps the most fucking brilliant song ever written. Because they nailed it. That’s what everyone wants. Not 24/7 hot wet sex. Not a marriage that lasts a hundred years. Not a Porsche…or a million-dollar crib. No. They wanna hold your hand. They have such a feeling that they can’t hide. Every single successful song of the past fifty years can be traced back to ‘I Wanna Hold Your Hand.’ And every single successful love story has those unbearable and unbearably exciting moments of hand-holding.”

How to feed unknown cats!
I know the title seems strange! But yes, I’ll truly tell you how to do that. I’ve been doing that for a while now. I found a cat outside my door one day, with little hungry eyes! So I decided why not give something to her.
As I went inside to grab something for her, she was on her feet with her tongue sticking out!
So here are the steps:
1. Find a cat! (You’ll surely want to do that to feed her)
2. Get her some milk and put it in front of her. And then back away a little.
3. Get your cam and shoot some nice close-ups of the beautiful creature in front of you!
4. As the wildness increases, you get more stunning shots!
5. Wait for her, as she calms down after finishing all the milk.
So you are done feeding the unknown cat! Simple, isn’t it? So go on and try it, and maybe you get some of the nice cam shots which are worth giving away some milk 😉
