Ask And You Will Receive

I used to really emphasize the fact that I was a “lone wolf.”

I didn’t need anyone.

I had the skills, the attitudes, and the willpower to succeed on my own.

The hell with everyone else…

Oh what a complete and utter fool I was haha.

Society seems to perpetuate this image of paving your way through life solo.

Being a lone wolf so to speak.

It’s sexy.

It draws people in.

It yields massive respect.

And while there is something to say about people being drawn to authenticity– a post for another time perhaps– being a lone wolf isn’t sexy.

It’s actually a fast-track to failure believe it or not.

While society may paint the lone wolf as this appealing way of Being, in reality such types tend to appear pompous and unappealing.

Indeed, it took me a while to learn this, but the one sure-fire way to succeed is to have the courage to work with others and put your ego aside.

ASK AND YOU WILL RECEIVE!

Got a question? Ask and you’ll get an answer

Want someone to do something? Ask and they will oblige if possible.

Want people to support your cause? Ask and they will if able.

You get the point.

While being a lone wolf appears “cool” and desirable in the movies, real success is found when we join hands and work in communion.

From personal experience I can tell you trying to be a lone wolf is depressing and isolating.

(Perhaps it’s a lesson we all must learn though, and indeed, I think many experience such feelings.)

Don’t be afraid to ask others for their assistance when necessary though.

Don’t let your ego control you.

Be courageous and ASK..

You will RECEIVE!

Look Good, Feel Great!

Look Good, Feel Great!: Looking good is a huge part of style, and it’s the most obvious part, in my opinion. Most of the time, people start dressing-up because they want to convey a message to those around them. But there’s a second, much more important aspect of style and personal image. That being how style makes a person FEEL When you look good, you feel great! And even more than that, your feelings will radiate out onto other people who will be drawn to you. Style to me has always been about feeling my best; in fact, style was a significant part of me overcoming my body image issues. I was never really one to seek compliments or enjoy flattery– even though that stuff obviously comes with looking your best– rather what mattered to me was how style literally changed the way I felt. I remember putting on my first suit and feeling the most empowered I have ever felt. Not only that, but I noticed pretty quickly how everywhere I went I was treated differently. People started ...

Art can be incredibly motivating and being around art can have an immensely empowering effect on us. It’s a similar effect to one experienced while being surrounded by religious relics or statues– art can make us feel invigorated and influenced by something greater than ourselves. It’s almost like experiencing what John Keats called the Sublime in a more easily accessible way. According to Romanticist writers like Keats, the Sublime is defined as a meeting of the subjective-internal and objective-external, and is the strongest emotion we as Humans can experience. It typically requires us to put ourselves in awe-inspiring situations like seeing the sunrise from the peak of a mountain or looking up at a statue that towers over us. Instead of climbing a mountain or finding a huge statue though, with art we only need to go to a museum or into our living room, if we’re collectors. There are many different types of art and genres, all of which can have a powerful effe...
