The Importance of Being Earnest

I hope you all enjoyed the New Year with positive vibes all around. For some, a new year is a time for reflection; we can sit back look at what we've accomplished, what we haven't, and perhaps more importantly what we strive to accomplish. Personally, this year has been marked by setbacks and mounting emotional and physical stress. It took me until the 31st of December to notice the silver lining in the rain clouds. Correction, that shit was Golden. Sometimes, inaction brings forth the most progress. Whether you're out of school, out of work, or just plain out of luck, the important thing is to continue to maintain a positive and wholesome attitude through troubled times.  The positive mind is a powerful tool, lest we forget. We seldom recognize the things we do to ourselves that hinder our growth and keep us bogged down. Consider not what is that you want, but what it is that genuinely uplifts your spirit. It can be as simple as reading or burning incense and meditating in solitude or a more dynamic activity as say, playing sports or creating artwork; what matters is that we find ways to maintain positivity. In the words of almost every dancehall artist, "bun wickedness  and bad-mind." Surround yourself with positive influences and experience the difference.

A rainstorm can't last forever but the sunshine is eternal!

Love and Be Loved
