(VISION) Calling All Dreamers

For many people, the prospect of being tied down to one industry or job is not fulfilling as it does not excite or stimulate their minds. However, through the process of socialisation these people are surrounded by the ideology that becoming a specialist or pursuing  'realistic' goals are the norm and conform to this expectation and consequently suppress their passions.  They are pushed aside due to the fear of failure or being judged for being 'unrealistic'. Reader, it is now I tell you that your eyes are projecting your own beliefs. If you believe that your goals are only a far fetched desire and not an attainable reality then you will look for reasons to not pursue these goals with tenacity and conviction. If  you want to become a world champion boxer as well as a successful entrepreneur AS WELL as a mentor to millions then go for it. If you want to be a musician as well as a psychiatrist then make that dream a reality! You are only stopping yourselves. The difference between you and your idols are your beliefs. They believed that they were worthy of their success, do you? They pursued their passion with tenacity and conviction , will you? And most importantly, they were willing to commit to converting a far fetched desire into an attainable reality ... Are you?

You are able to achieve anything that you desire. The only thing that stops most of us from achieving our dreams is our ability to justify why something isn't good enough - we are pretty good at that. The process of converting your desires into reality are a mixture of beliefs and decisions and over the next few entries I aim to use what I am learning on my own journey to help you create the best version of yourself.

Further materials:
At the end of each entry I will post links to material that has inspired my post. This post was inspired by Georges St - Pierres' 'The Way Of The Fight' and Anthony Robbins 'Awaken The Giant Within'. Both books are great insights on how beliefs and decisions we make can impact our future selves - I would strongly recommend them both.

(EXPERIENCE) Connect With You: Dealing With Regret

One of the greatest tragedies that I can think of is reflecting on yourself and feeling regretful. 'I wish I did this instead of...' 'I wish I told this person how I REALLY felt...' 'I wish I could have done...' We all experience regret at some point in our lives, and it is at this point that we should look deep into our feelings and question why we walked down a path that we knew deep down couldn't accommodate for our needs and wants. Every day that we are gifted with is an opportunity to learn more about ourselves and our truest, deepest desires and wants. We spend all day trying to impress the same people that evidently do not deserve our energy because they give nothing in return. We spend time developing relationships with these people instead of taking the time to delve deep and meet the purest version of ourselves, unfiltered from what exists outside our being, outside of our expectations. The world that we experience is a result of the fe

(BUSINESS) Altiefe Presents Launching An Idea Part 2: The Passionate Area

Welcome to the second article of this ‘Launching an Idea’ series. In the first article, we looked at identifying a driving force (available to read here ), today we are going to be looking at transferring that driving force over to a passionate area. What is a passionate area? Passionate area: A creative pursuit that a person feels most comfortable and most free to operate within. This is usually a specific area within a wider discipline/creative pursuit e.g. A fashion vlogger . Chances are, if you're reading this article you have an idea of what it is you want to do or where abouts your creative idea is going to be situated – the passionate area is a little more specific, though. To give this article some context, a friend of mine is a fantastic music producer. He can produce a number of different genres of electronic music and has found success in most of them but his main passionate area is within dubstep. Now, some of you may hear dubstep and go ‘yuck!’ b

(EXPERIENCE) What Meditation Has Taught Me: The Importance Of The Present

I have been recently delving into the discipline of meditation. I aim to practice only ten minutes a day, everyday. I would like to share with you perhaps my biggest breakthrough regarding meditation - the importance of the present. As a young creative, I am constantly looking either forwards  into the future visualing my goals or backwards  into the past - learning from my mistakes.  I found that through practice, particularly in guided meditation that I was ignoring arguably the most important time frame - the now . It suddenly dawned on me. In order to bring my future aspirations into fruition I have to examine my actions in the present moment to ensure that they fit with what I aim to achieve in the future . The same applies for my past - in order to ensure that I am learning from any mistake or painful experience, I have to be cognisant of what I am doing in the now to ensure that I am truly implementing changes from what I have learned from the past into my present day ac
