“If your ship doesn't come in, swim out to meet it!” - Jonathan Winters Similarly, If an Opportunity Doesn't Come to You, Go Look For It. Never Take Things for Granted. Not all Opportunities are Equal, some just happen to drop on us. Some, We have to give our heart and soul only to touch it... These days, We don't even have to swim (Heavy lifting), We could easily get a small boat (Leverage) to get to it... And Waiting for Opportunity is like Sitting there and Waiting for Our Dream Girl or Guy to come and talk to us... Which may never happen, Unless We go talk to them first. Only then do We have a Chance... Do Whatever It Takes to Grab the Opportunity when it Comes, As the saying goes, 𝗟𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 - Provided You have Prepared Enough for it. So Have You? Else Start Working... P.S.

Day 52: Sometimes, I take for granted the benefit of biking indoors. After a long day like today, I’m grateful for stepping off the bike into my living room. #halfironmantraining #ironman703training #triathlontraining #suunto #indoorbike #indoortraining #kinetictrainer #donttakeforgranted #marcostriathlondiary https://www.instagram.com/p/By6Tw6LhZHl/?igshid=f520qswro7f1

Maybe you were never meant to go away That's what you would always say And I took for granted you would stay Irrespective of how I behaved today. I thought I was being myself to you And I spoke without another review Couldn't realise what you were going through All I could see is only my point-of-view So true, I believed anything I do Was only going to be correctly understood by you And nothing could then possibly screw If I don't give you the time I promised you. It's the distant I seek like one of my dreams Little by little pushing you to extremes And then complaining you're the one making teams When in reality it's your silence that screams So to all the people who are close I tell You're not going to get another silent farewell And though being with me sometimes feels like hell I truly cherish you like my dear little seashell 🐚 Well, and for the little things that you do I notice every single thing and want to thank you For if you hadn't have stuck so true I wouldn't be what I am... Without YOU! #gratitude #love #donttakeforgranted #begood #everyday #365days #simplymiracles #yqbaba Read my thoughts on @YourQuoteApp #yourquote #quote #stories #qotd #quoteoftheday #wordporn #quotestagram #wordswag #wordsofwisdom #inspirationalquotes #writeaway #thoughts #poetry #instawriters #writersofinstagram #writersofig #writersofindia #igwriters #igwritersclub https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs_J9xAjeY_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k7k5irvf5385

Please don’t take them for granted. Some of us are longing for a call, vm, touch, smile or a hello. Christmas time for me is the absolute worst. This is the reason that I’m so Grinch-like. Miss you Mom. Today and forever! ❤️❤️❤️#Mom #moms #donttakeforgranted #rip #ripmom #missyou #missingyou

What is the first creative moment you remember? My kindergarten teacher letting me ‘stamp out’ the letters of a poem I wrote, a special project on my own.

Was anyone there to witness it? My mom and my teacher, Ms. Matthews

Best idea I’ve ever had? To be a solid and committed partner to my husband.

What made it great in your mind? It was an idea that regarded, nurtured and cared for all of the best parts of me and my hopes for the future letting me focus on the positive and leave all the negatives behind.

What is the dumbest idea? To leave my mom’s bedside before she was fully recovered because I missed my vapid day to day life in NYC.

What made it stupid? She died and I didn’t get to say good bye.

Can you connect the dots that led you to this idea? yes, a series of bad choices and emotional addictions to fill empty space and loneliness.

What is your creative ambition? To make art that gets out to the public and hear feedback that pushes me forward creatively

What are the obstacles to this ambition? I don’t know how to get it out there and be heard. too many artists, voices, visual stimulation, art noise, lost in the crowd of artists

What are the vital steps to achieving this ambition? keep making art, keep posting art, keep talking to artists, network with people who want to see art

How do you being your day? I wake up to the calling voice of my son, MOM?! I make him breakfast, we get dressed and I pack his lunch while trying to stay on time but make things light and fun. Trying to not make him feel rushed and play while moving forward. Then walking to his school, I go to the gym for an hour.

What are your habits? What patterns do you repeat? Habits: checking social media, strength training, photographing walls, picking my nails, listening to music, drawing all over everything, wine, halo top, watering my plants.

Describe yoru first succeessful creative act? Making tape covers from collage and spraypaint for music mixes for my friends in jr high school and having my art teacher discover them and see them as art when I didn’t know that is what it was!

Second creative act? Starting art school in college and making my first project in the first 2 nights, an illustrated book of Alice in Wonderland. It was fantastic and I knew I was in the right place at the right time, art school was going to be worth a damn.

Compare them. It was really about expressing myself in a new way and having someone validate it. Then expressing myself again in a new way and feeling validated even before anyone saw the art or said a word. I knew it was good and was true.

What are your attitudes towards money, power, praise, reivals, work, play Money: good to have, opens doors, always comes back around, sometimes its abundant, sometimes their is none, have to pay your own way, no relying on others, save when you can but don’t be to frugal as you could be gone tomorrow, enjoy it. Power: I appreciate the people behind the scenes, I do not seek power over others but wish to have enough control/power over myself that I stay strong within the confines of society. It can be so misused, abused, unfair, unjust - especially in politics and social structure now.

which artists do you admire most? Marcel Dzama, Dave McKean, Hannah Höch, Basquiat, Mark Rothko, Jerome Witkin, Ange Miller, Julie Houts, Garance Doré and a lot more

Why are they your role models?They are hard workers, bold, quirky, original, humorous, emotional and brave. They capture wit, lust, jealousy, edge, flair, joy, angst and danger. 

What do we have in common? I try for all of it but only succeed with some things some of the time.

Does anyone in your life regularly inspire you? my son, my husband, my artistic friends, my exercise partners, instagram

Who is your muse? Isn’t that a person that inspires you? I would say my son. or brooklyn.

Define Muse: someone who inspires you?! 

When confronted with superior intelligence or talent, how do you respond? Intrigued, attracted, jealous, magnetized, interested, competitive, hopeful

When faced with Stupidity, hostility, intransigence, laziness or indifference in others, how do you respond? I think living in the city has hardened me against this a bit, yet softened me to not respond with as much passion or anger or protest. I have had some intense and frightening encounters showing my innate responses. I hold back if I have to but talk if I think it could do any good or be received with understanding.

When faced with impending success or the threat of failure, how do you respond? Success: accept what comes modestly but gathering hope. Threat of failure: don’t think I have completely failed at anything yet, always a chance to keep at it, build on the shaky ground, push forward. except lithography, lol, didn’t do so well with that.

When you work, do you love the process of the result? both, time flies during the process and I love implementing ideas as they come to me. The product is important to me as well, I am very protective of it as it is a part of me.

At what moments do you feel your reach exceeds your grasp? Often in parenting, art, learning new work, taking on school, relationships, family issues

What is your ideal creative activity? sitting down to cut up paper/magazines for collage after gathering for new supplies

What is your greatest fear? I will lose my family or my sight.

What is the likelihood of either of the answers to the previous two questions happening? either could happen at any time.

Which of your answers would you most like to change? Always have new artists that I like better and inspire me.

What is your idea of mastery? Working hard, producing a something that fully represents you with skill in insight and sharing it with the world.

What is your greatest dream? I would like to make my son proud to have me as a mother, I would love to create illustrated books for him that he can pass on long after I am gone.

Ricardo Kelly @taz9803 said something on his testimony today, after the workout, that blow my mind, he said "I used to play sport when I was young, but I never felt so good like I am feeling now that I am on the products..." 👊 Dope 🔥 Same feeling bro... I got home and #GooglePics sent me this pic from 2011, I always smiled but I wasn''t really happy and fulfilled like I am right now... Thank you Lord for this journey and all that I've been through. 👐 #Nowayback #nonutritionnoresults #donttakeforgranted #bethebestyoucanbe #Down78 #wedoherbalife #wechangelives #welovewhatwedo #Looseweight #Gainmuscle #GetEnergy #askmehow

"Distractions Can Make a Day Feel Like An Hour" - Mokokoma Mokhonoana Before We Knew It, Years Could Have Gone By... And We are Left to Feel Underachieved, Feel Wasted, and all... We Don't Even Need to Go so Far down the Road, Just go to YouTube and Facebook and See How You Spent Your Today? Before You know It, You most Probably Spent a few hours there and Left out some Important Things to Do... You Could have been Inspired or Motivated by Some Videos but ended up, Didn't Take the Right Actions. Always be Mindful of What Grabs Your Attention, Hold Your Attention, and How You Spent Your Attention. Attention has become the Most Precious Resource that We have in an Overwhelming World. If You Treasure Every Second As You Could Die in the Next Moment, The Way You View, Cherish, and Embrace Life will be very different. Don't be Someone Who Thinks That He or She Can Live Forever and Takes Everything For Granted...
