I spend my days drawing, designing, dreaming and pretending I'm a glam rock star, actually, I don't pretend, I convince myself... I am infact a twenty year old Prince from England who went a little mad. I'm currently getting my life back on track once I find the right direction. Come get lost with me! Oh and my name is Aaron - ahoy!
We’re all a week or so into 2012. The New Year for most of us is an opportunity to better our lives, be optimistic and create a better you. Many of us might do this anyhow, any day of the year but New Year is the perfect time for those who don’t or need a helping hand, after all it’s a new year and a new or better you, in fact everyday is a new you. Don’t just reinvent yourself once January 1st comes around, do it everyday. You’re allowed.
We all have the ability to change and better ourselves, its there if you want it. A lot of us won’t take the opportunity or maybe we will but won’t stick to it because of all the shit that our past has dumped on you: fears, rejection, and worries… somehow they will find a way of knocking you off track if you allow it.
What do you want to do today? Not tomorrow or next week.. I’m talking about TODAY, when your alarm rings at stupid o’clock in the am, what is it you want to do that day and what are you going to do to make it happen? You can worry about what you’re going to do tomorrow when tomorrow comes, today is a new day and you can do anything with it. As is tomorrow, the next day and the all the days in all the weeks in all the months in all the years of the rest of your life.
Everyday can be something amazing. Take an hour or so to sit down and have a moment to yourself each day, think about what you want to do with yourself in the short run, don’t focus on the long run just yet. What is going to make you happy and make you smile today? Don’t worry about anyone else, don’t worry about checking your emails, tweets or facebook wall, how many times have you thought to yourself ‘why do I even have facebook, its pointless?’… The answer is probably more than you can remember. You can check all that after you’ve had some time to yourself to focus.
Focus on everything that matters most to you. Being happy with yourself isn’t something you have to earn by proving to yourself or others that you can achieve things, don’t treat happiness as something you can only feel when you’ve reached a certain goal. You can be happy with yourself right now! Don’t act like it’s at the end of an obstacle course. It’s available whenever you want it.
Do whatever you wish, do what you want, what you love and what you’re passionate about and be happy doing it. When you’re having your little sit down to yourself, no phone or facebook in reach, decide what (and maybe who) is worthy of your time, your heart and your focus that day. Then go out and start doing what you want and what you love and be happy in doing so. Appreciate every second, do that everyday.
Try your hardest (make sure its your hardest) and do something new everyday: smile at someone in the street and mean it! Make eye contact with the lady serving you your coffee, smile at her too. Impress yourself by doing something you would normally be too scared to do! You’ll soon realise it wasn’t all that bad and you’ll wonder why you ever worried to begin with.
Start small if it’s easier and build up, you’ll be surprised how strong you can be if you forget about your worries for a moment, soon you’ll be strong enough to realise and learn that you have no need to worry over most things.

for a brief moment i believed in this message, that it can be true at all what is says. but it’s more like about how to achieve your dreams than to live your life. still, it is something true positive and worth thinking about.
