Thinking too much is extremely healthy...

How important is a thought? Ideas begin with a thought. Bridges can’t be built without an origin of thought. Economies don’t heal themselves unless someone has thought it first.

Standing on the outside of this human shell its safe to assume the inner core of your being puts a lot of trust in the act of feeding energy into the creation of thought. Use it up! The system will make more!

According to the book Powers Within a thought is an instrument of becoming. You become what you see in yourself. If your thoughts suggest that you can do then you shall become. This is what they mean when they say, “You need to have faith in yourself.”

You are ultimately in control of what one will be if one wants to be.

How often do you find yourself ignoring the image in the mirror? The very face you share holds tightly onto the dreams you refuse to let escape. Being happy to you requires a ship capable of sailing across an open sea and during these modern workday morals and ethics who has the time to locate the fire in the eyes of the image staring back at you?

Not admitting destroys aspiration or the creation of truth.

For several years I served as the moderator of several poetry circles tucked away in the dimly lit corners of extremely large book stores. No week passed that we weren’t introduced to the timid, fear filled writer who couldn’t believe they located the courage to lift their stories from the hidden halls of creative flow and let someone they’ve never met hear their rhymes and rhythms.

I saw it as the birth of art, which is an extremely dangerous place to hang time. It’s too easy to let opinions in. Creative people are always going to be sensitive. It takes guts to put thought on paper, a canvas, into the lens of a camera or to fill a room with your voice used as a tool to inspire and influence movement.

The majority of your thoughts appear then disappear. You become what you see in yourself until you give someone permission to tell you otherwise. From every point of view it’s bad to put concentration on what you don’t want, what one has rejected or refuses to be. By doing so you are denying the image in the mirror the right to be seen as well as heard.

I am not a fan of constructive criticism. Just because you see 300 movies a year doesn't make you an expert. I play thousands of songs on the radio and after thirty two years of working with some of the biggest talent in the industry I will not aircheck another radio on-air talent. Creatively we develop a relationship where your view is just as important as mine and through an effort I call John Lennon and Paul McCartney there’s harmony. As sick as it might come across I give peace a chance.

Thoughts are tools of execution. If you think it…it will become. If someone in your life constantly screams that you’re a failure, not a good member of the family, a weak link on the monkey tree. If you think it…it will become.

More writers dropped from our circle of word flow because spouses, friends and family recognized the birth of a budding artist and couldn’t handle the positive changes because it no longer served their personal purpose. Sadly we are the generation that allows other peoples happiness to be more important than the smirks we share with the image in the mirror.

Why do I write everyday? Because I know you’re brilliant at what you do. I can only give you a brick at a time to build a bridge over the valleys beneath your feet. No day shall pass that you feel empty because through every storm the image in the mirror will always remain and it’s into those eyes you should always say, “I’ll always believe in your first.”

Thought gives you new lyrics to sing…
