(VISION) A Tip For Beginning The Week


If you are beginning your week hoping for the weekend, perhaps it is time to completely rethink your current position. Is there something elsewhere that you would rather be doing that could give you a higher quality of being?

I know, you may respond to that by saying 'Listen Lewis, I have bills to pay, miss me with this bullshit please - thanks.'

Valid point, but you could be paying bills doing something you love but you are not taking the necessary  steps to work towards that goal.

To be brutally honest, its usually the fear of disrupting or distorting personal perceptions e.g. going back to school/college - you place lots of weight on others opinions and expectations of you. What if I told you those 'other' opinions are just a personal viewpoint of  ourselves that we often project onto other people to justify our actions. Can people have negative opinions and expectations of us? Of course! Can these viewpoints be internalised and affect us emotionally? Totally!  But what do YOU think of yourself and your chances of achieving what you would love to do? Perhaps it is time to change your source of emotional input and remove the weight of such negative opinions.

Often, the steps to becoming the version of ourselves that we envision is weighted on a singular decision - saying 'fuck you' to everybody else and doing what we have to do to get where we want to be. The necessary steps to achieve the goals you have set for yourself has always been there, you just needed to ask yourself why you weren't moving towards them.

So this Monday, think about that. What are you currently doing and what COULD you be doing.

(EXPERIENCE) A Short Thought On Messing Up

There are one million different things that you could do with your life. Every day adds new pathways and thus new outcomes to your future. The aim is not to focus on all the possible outcomes at once,  but to go with what excites you,  what motivates you - what gives you purpose. With every poor decision you make,  there are hundreds of ways to correct it. Don't focus on what you have done wrong in the past, focus on what you can do right in this moment. You can't be defined on what you have done wrong if you truly know what you've done to make things right this time. Fuck everybody else and their opinions. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

(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...

(BUSINESS) Launching An Idea Part 3:Branding

We have your driving force, and we have transitioned this nicely into a passionate area. Now ,we can talk about the more exciting stuff – Now we can talk about your branding. Branding is something I think separates you from everybody else in your field – provided it is done right. Strong branding enables a successful idea launch, but ONLY if a driving force and passionate area have been considered too. I like to separate my branding into three areas -   look, feel and message . Your look is quite self explanatory – how are you presenting yourself to your audience ?   If you are launching a blog, what colour schemes does your page utilise? What font are you using for posts? If you are launching a music or vlogging channel, what does your logo look like?   What colours are you choosing to utilise in your videos? Your look is ultimately the first impression you give to your potential audience, so ensure that what you use conveys the first impress...
