Successful people make decisions early in their life and manage those decisions the rest of their life....
I started watching and I couldn't stop let me know what you think!
Its a very interesting concept. I can relate a bit.
I decided to be creative.

If anyone would have told me I would have made video ad in the year 2007 to be shown on tv. I won't have believed them. At that time I just felt like I was trying to manage between photography and videography.
Thinking I will have to choose one. Or take a particular twist.

Anyways check out the video

You will have your own stories to tell.

Yeah sounds nasty doesn't it? By that is what a friend of mine told me about a quote I had in msn name.
He is the only one who commented on it!
Usually I get all kinds of comments when I place a quote in my msn name. But this one just didn't. My friend said cause it was too in your face.

I was like wow. Soooo amazing!

The quote is
Its not bad when a child is afraid of the dark but it is truly a tragedy when a man is afraid of light.

i was like wow!
I then took myself out of myself to look at myself and see what was my reality.
I do believe I am striving for the light, but I am not doing it perfectly. I have to do it one step at a time.

Ohh that was good Question I heard you think it!
What is the light?

I put to you the light is your dream ! That's right repeat it for me.
All it takes for evil to triumph in the world is for good men to do nothing.
What is your nothing that you are doing? Maybe too scared to pursue one of your dreams? Maybe you are just doubtfull it will work and not putting the same focus on your dream as you are someone elses dream.

Wow, these are not the kind of words you want to hear when you are feeling as I am now, emotions swirling and you are wondering if you are good enough. Can I make my dream of producing a culture of creative, happy people a reality?

Dreams are interesting things, you have to match your talents with it, maybe grow a few talents with it. Up date it.

Wow in some cases you have to undream a dream to make the dream of having a new dream a reality.

Leonardo Da vinci sometimes maybe you need to dream even further extent your vision far enough to see your dream.

Other times you need to have a simple reminder of your dreams.

Robert Kyosiki says you need to be able to be bold and strong courageous not telling someone step on you. And other times you have to be able to beg, like a child. And either one is better than the other.

Oh! and a dream causes you to make certain decisions and you stop and wonder, did I make the right decision? Am I following the right dream? You wonder about doing it the normal way.
But if you were to listen to the world's foremost authority on thinking he is going to tell you. Don't do it normal.

Dr house would say, diagnose the problem and start to treat it. If it gets worse then you have a new sympton. You learnt something more. So you have to find a new solution.

Thnaks to my Blog and sharing with you, I have now reached a finite state and I realised I had
There is quite a bit, I have been
Thinking about myself and my life my dreams lately and I am realising now, where I need to adjust, thanks for listening all in this digital age. An ear with a powerful voice but yet the most silent ear.

Oh 'thinking' in itself can be a skill.
Stay tuned for more on that at sometime and somewhere.

I have had some interesting days of late and I am certainly realising the notion and idea that success is a state it can't be a fixed point. Success really is a state of being.

Uninvited Stress
There are a few things that have gone quite off course from my plan. It actually sent me back into a bit of a negative state. I missed some of my own deadlines. And I began feeling flustered and stressed. My Chest even got a bit tight one night and I was really wondering what was happening to me.

What was the problem?
And then I took a step back and analysed what I was doing as asked what I was doing wrong?

Then I realised I was cruising for a bit and my computer crashed and I allowed that small event to send me into a panic thinking that all my hopes and dreams going down the drain. Or that they would be delayed and it was too much to bear. Its like I was fighting desparately not to be 'a failure' again.
But then I just asked myself are you going to allow your confidence, focus and drive to be shot over a minor crisis?

Feeling Bad
Its ok to feel bad for a while but then I realised that I could not allow myself to feel bad for too long because it was my reaction to the present situation that was going to determine the future and if those days would be brighter.

My Reaction
I started to use a technique a friend reminded me of, which I used to use. I now know its called lateral thinking. But I took a step back from the situation and asked myself how can I solve this problem. Or better yet. How can I not have the problem again?

I Realised
Then I realised that though the immediate future looked not so rosy. I found that I was already working on skills and ideas that will cause me to be much greater in the long run. And I was allowing some of them to slip because of this mini crisis.

Stick to it
I realised all I had to do was to stick to the same focus I had before. Now that the computer was gone it was a blessing because as my favourite inventor would say.

It was a chance to begin again more intelligently.

My focus
So then my focus was on doing what I could do. Learning better ways of going about my plans I ideas. Use the opportunity to move forward to bigger and better thing when the crisis was over.

Yup I heard a story once of a cowboy who lost all his cattle, his house, wife and children. He cried like a baby but rode off into the sunset a new and much more intelligent man.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
