I was extremely inspired by the story called “Don’t hope, DECIDE” written by Michael D. Hargrove which was originally shared on G+ by +Patrick Di Fruscia last week, and I’ve been doodling all weekend as a result.
While it’s true we need hope to get us through the tough times, ultimately, we get rise to the occasion because we decide to. I think it’s an important lesson and I, for one have decided to apply it to every circumstance of my life.
I’ve also come to learn that I need constant visual cues to stay focused throughout the day, so I’ve created 3 prints that I’ve placed in strategic locations in my house. I also carry a small print in my wallet. I figure that multinationals have the right idea when they saturate our existence with ads. Why not advertise to myself? I’m going to be making these available for purchase in my shop this week as I really think this could help you to stay on your path as well.
