Fall In Love With Standing Out

Hey you, it's been a while and I'm back with another post! This one has been the overall theme of my life within the last few months and if you feel me, I love to hear it Life imitates art. Personally, I read somewhere that we should start viewing people as art. (Without the intention of completely understanding what we think or perceive them to be) The way in which someone expresses themselves or steps out into the world became a lot more vibrant in my eyes as soon as I began to think this way. My appreciation for authenticity in the people I meet or come across, truly inspires me. This is the very reason why I started this blog; in hopes of creating that for anyone stopping by. I just hope you realize it's in you. I feel that it's too easy to allow comparison to take away the joy in most things you create. I'd say the same about the worries of receiving validation or the critique of others. I honestly found it groundbreaking when I freed my mind from all the outside noise when it came to how I wanted to put myself out there. It's been one hell of a ride. I slowly but surely became very secure within myself and my passions. I notice this same issue within so many others and it's truly disheartening to see the potential of something so great, not acted upon due to that fear. But what if you weren't? How far would you go if you knew you couldn't fail? Seriously This is where I preach that fuck it energy. Doing what you love is never a waste of time. With that being said, I'm going to be very transparent as I type this: Who the fuck cares? How does it benefit me to look down on your dreams and aspirations? For all I truly know, you probably could make amazing shit happen! Once again, you are an art piece and I'm just an observer passing by. Hell, you might even convince me to create something of myself if I see a part of me in you. I love that effect on people. This happens to me all the time and without seeing the beauty and potential in others, I'm not sure if I would have come to find it within me honestly. I stay grateful to be surrounded by muses of all kinds. It's dope as fuck. You never know your audience. Or your impact. Just make sure you leave it in a better place. At least this is how I'm wired. So please, I welcome all the inspiration and positivity on this side. That song you've been playing 24/7, that movie that's got you moving the way you do, that book that changed your mind, or that experience you want to share Life isn't always easy and that's a given. I hope you make it worth your while with what you decide to put out there. I highly encourage this. You define you. Stop sleeping on yourself WITH LOVE, RZA
