So I was in a motor vehicle accident 2 weeks ago. A car was speeding and rear-ended me on the freeway while I was stopped in traffic, knocking me into the car in front. He then tried to flee the scene until I took out my phone and started copying down his license plate number.

Go after your dreams. What’s the worst that could happen?
Rejection? Ridicule? You don’t get what you want? Does it really matter?

Your path is a blessed one. As long as you walk it, you will be accompanied by 2 guardian angels.
The first angel goes by many names: Your Inner Presence. Your Higher Self. Your Guiding Light. Your Muse.

Hey guys,
This is my first attempt at making a video. Even though I’m a writer at heart, I thought I would give YouTube a shot for a few reasons:
#1 I want you to see that I am sincere in my communication with you. This is more readily apparent if you can see my face.
#2 I will reach more people who might otherwise not read my blog.
#3 In line with my philosophy of being progress-oriented, I wanted to challenge myself to try something outside of my comfort zone.
Anyway, I hope you like it. I woke up 3 hours early before work so that I could get good lighting in that location for you guys.

Discipline is hard to come by. Really hard. It is the virtue that separates the few who do from the many who talk.
It is what separates flat abs from love handles. Getting to work from languishing on the sidelines. Acts of creation from slow deterioration.
Failure is the default. You don’t have to do anything to get it. Do nothing and watch as it creeps up on you gradually, effortlessly, and mercilessly. Laziness is automatic. As is selfishness. And gluttony. No one has to work at being a fat, lazy bum. You just let yourself go and your work is already done.
