Happy

For the first time in my life I can say that I am truly happy and comfortable with who I am.

I actually believe in my worth and value. And also for the first time I am happy with who I am going to be.

Love

Learning and wisdom and who am I?

A man is what he thinks all day long. A quite interesting set of events have landed me right here at a point where I realise I truly enjoy taking on new challenges and conquering them.



Creation of me

Over the past few months I have CREATED many new talents and skills that I am now just begining to appreciate that the way I go about my day. Has allowed me to get into a position where I can lend several talents to the world.



Leonardo De Vinci

Being Fascinated by the life of Leonardo de Vinci. A man who was able to think 400 years ahead of his time and master several disciplines have allowed me some hope as I have somewhat a wanderer not sure what approach to take to life. Limiting my curiosity of certain things because it was not in my discipline.

But as you looking to the future if you can honestly appreciate its vastness. You can see how big it is.



Day by day



There really is no limit to what we can do. The secret seems to be in the day to day thoughts idea, habits and attitude I have.



The reality

For as was recently shown Mother Therasa had her own struggles with her faith and yet accomplished so much.



Look at life through several angles and see how great life is.



Who am I ?



I am an ever changing being ever evolving and growing learning seeingo wondering.

Do not define me to a box for the second its completed it will already be obselete.

Define me as Corey Graham.

Expect Good Things

Expect Good Things to happen and they well!

Coming off of my birthday and taking stock of my life I have shifted my attitude to several things and I have been more positive and focused on the future and really aiming to make things happen. I'm am aiming to work smart and combine my 25 years of learning on this earth into motion.
And lately I have been able to visualise more of what I want, and who I want to be in a very graphic way.
I have also been aiming to having an overall more balanced life and opportunities to do the things I love have just been popping up all over the place.

Its actually like The Secret (www.secret.TV is at work. I believe my lack of worrying and fearing that things won't work out has caused several small miricles to be occuring in my life. And all I can say is that I am finally allowing myself to expect good things to happen.

Decision Making-Staying happy

Last Friday I was getting my protrait done, at an after work lime and being into photography and passionate about protraiture. Being in that chair I started to smile and I decided I wanted to be captured as a happy man, and you know it took 30 mins for him to capture me.
It was certainly amasing after the time to see a protrait come alive from a blank sheet of paper.

His impression

It came alive as this bajan artiste Victor passing impression of me was captured on a sheet. It was exciting to stop and take a look at someone else's impression of me. He was trying to keep me smiling too, and I too wanted to keep happy and smiling. The steel pan in the background helped as they played the sweet Soca tunes. I am not sure of the name but my friend Ziggy was playing - David Walcott.

The Magic

The real magic though for me happened when I made the effort to keep my mind clear and forget mmy stresses and focus on the reasons to smile it was so easy, I was in a bit of a trance imagining I was who I want to be. I could smile cause I had what I wanted to have. No one was making me happy I was happy to be me, Corey Graham. And it was an amasing thing.

I was happy, for I was me because I could suddenly see I was me, enjoying a moment. Hopeful for the future. And you know why? I just decided to be happy!

Make a big effort to be a good decision maker and I made a decision to get a good protrait and found happiness is always really just a decision away.

Why do I write this Blog ?

I just heard for the first time in a very concise and practical way,

If fear is too strong the genius is suppressed. Robert kiyoseki -author rich dad poor dad.

Why this Blog matters and why its so important in my life?
********************
Over the last few weeks I have honestly detected a new habit of myself having more self confidence as I had previously. And in dropping by a friend of mine he introduced to me a concept of self confidence and sureness.
Where a kung fu master opting not to challenge not to take up a challenge of 2 young 'upstarts' and choosing the option to crawl through their legs and not fight them. And after becoming the laughing stock of the society.

This had me thinking of this whole question of self doubt and self confidence.

And I have realised that by allowing fear the get the better of you, then self doubt and self confidence are weak and then so is your genius and talents.

Hmmm,
I take a step back and I can telll you. I am not perfect. 25 years old today, and if there is one thing that I have learnt that has made the most significant difference positive didfrence in my life it is this thought.

If fear is too strong the genius is suppressed. Robert kiyoseki - rich dad poor dad.

And now I ask myself what do I fear ?
The answer used to be YOU.
But today you are reading my Blog. So I no longer fear YOU and
the piercing eyes in my back.

Thank YOU for stopping to wish me my birthday.

Check out this video which captures the idea.

Your Truly

Happy birthday to me

It's my 25th birthday and its the first time I am making a big deal about my birthday in 25 years. having a birthday that falls in the first week of school a new school usually meant that the freshness of new beginnings always seemed to take away a little steam.
And after school was over I made sure I kept the celebratioon small. And it was in that time that I had a revalation.

The Revalation

I spent a lot of my birthdays waiting for other people to take the initiative for making me feel great on my birthday. You know but I realised that even if they did I shouldn't be allowing my happiness on my moment of time to be totally dependant on those around me. And their perceptions of me. I had to be responsible for my happiness, and in turn those around you will have a better idea, of how they can do their small part to help the day become memorable.

What is the key thing that made in memorable?

Well for me it was a day to focus on myself, what I want?, what do I have? where am I going? Where have I been? What do I need? Who do I want to become?

I guess there is a lot about ourselves we tend to ignore and not notice. Like when we are in pain, or things are rough. We hate to sit and truly make an effort to make things better for ourselves.

What I did on my last few birthdays?

For the past few birthdays I sat down and focused on me. I did thing just because I wanted to do them, lol. I 'dressed up' in a shirt I liked to go to work.
Took some time to work on www.drenalinproductions.com
Hugged my mother
A few times I even called people that helped me thru rough patches and just said thanks.
And sometimes just did things I wanted to do but I feared. I didn't let dear rob me of having a good day.
I rejuvenated myself and truly enjoyed the day and lived some of my dreams in a small way.
Rid myself of some insecurities and fears.

I made myself important to me, and then others reinforced my important in their lifes. And I let persons know that they were important in my life.

All in all I found my birthdays to be s much more satisfying and joyful experience. And I have become a better person since I started do this....

The conclusion of a revalation
There was nothing fake, it was all genuine, authenic, enjoyable and most of all inspirational and enjoyable.

Time and Season

Ecclesiates 3



1) To every thing there is a season, a time to every purpose under the heaven : .....



14).... I know that there is no good in them but for a man to rejoice and do good in his life.



I do no seek to tell you about your religion. But the above quote came from a bible and it certainly caused me to take a time to reflect and over the past months more than ever there are times for everything.



One of the more crippling underlying concepts in my life has been my refusal to appreciate the seasons and times in my life. My lack of performance in some basketball games for example was because I truly did not appreciate that it was GAME TIME, is NOT the time for going thru the paces and feeling out the plays. It was a time to be on point. To get the job done.



For many of us the season for preparation passes us by. Time to 'lie low' save some money and learn some new skills. And get ready to be out there when the harvest season rolls around.



And still there is time, short range, days and weeks. We know we set aside a time for exercising, for reading, for planning.

Maybe its weekly, or daily tasks you have listed to be done.

And its easy to fool ourselves that something is important. And we can shift our daily tasks, but you know what happens. We never get back to the new years resolution to exercise everyday at 5 PM.



Ask yourself right now what time is it? What is the season?



Ecclesiates 3

1) To every thing there is a season, a time to every purpose under the heaven : .....



So I will look at my list of things I want to do, and see which of them whose time has come.



Another thing we usually fail to appreciate is that if there is a time for everything, there is a time to change gears. Get out of the harvest season and back into spring season.



Learn to deal with the passage of time, on your Journey.



This is D'Journey.

Warfare ... is War Fair?

I would never forget one of my more confusing moments as a child. It was when my father explained the concept of right and wrong in the terms of war and international relations.

He said that, who ever wins a war is deemed to be right.



As a young boy, well young lad I looked at this comment in a way that was more understandable to me....so I imaginged 2 children fighting after school. Of course we all had those days where we would race to find out what happened and who was right. And then wait to bare witness to the teacher and await the punishment to be meated out. And in that forum it was not about who won. It was about who was "wrong".



So imagine myself as a little boy not understanding for the life of me why whoever won a war was right. Even if they invaded another weaker country they would have been right.



Wow, just the other day I remembered this and just thinking how much as an adult today you just have to be a winner. Self pity and seeking pity from others gets you nowhere. Its for you to step outside, and go for what you want. State what you want to. We don't always get what we want but when people have an idea what your dreams are they will help. They might make that right connection for you.



I just wanted to share that with you. Make love and not war.



One Love!
