FYEAH! Thanks to everyone that I’ve worked with and learned from at Empire Ink, and all of my family and friends (especially my Jake) that have helped me along the way. I have found my true calling!
Drew this today, tattooing it Tuesday. It will have Johnny Cash lyrics in the banners.
“Life is subjective: you live in the reality you choose to accept and acknowledge. If you feel as though you are suffering, your focus is only on that which causes you to suffer, rather than on that which comforts you. If you feel as though you are failing in life, your focus is only on the mistakes you’ve made, rather than on the obstacles you’ve overcome. If you feel as though your life is filled with pain, your focus is only on that which hurts you, rather than that which brings you well-being. Only you have the power to change your life! The government isn’t going to do it for you. Your job isn’t going to do it for you. Your friends aren’t going to do it for you. Only you can do it for yourself. The true power of your thoughts and emotions is so widely taken for granted. Positiveness and negativity feed on themselves EXPONENTIALLY. Whichever side you choose to feed will assume its role in your life. If you choose to see the bright side, the light will pour into your life. If you choose to see the downside, the darkness will stamp out your soul. I know it’s easier said than done, especially these days. It’s hard to stay positive when facing cancer, crippling debt, soul-sucking jobs, divorce, death, and all the other incredible pitfalls of our modern world. But if you approach such atrocities as opportunities to learn and grow, nothing can stop you but yourself! Re-evaluate yourself. Find the areas in your life that can use a bit more attention and focus on it. Make daily assertions to yourself that today is the day to make everything right! It’s amazing how your life can change when you make a deliberate effort to focus on the good in your life with a constant self-affirmation that things WILL get better, rather than blindly hoping that someday things MIGHT get better. Your outlook on your life can make all the difference between a life of regret and a life you can be proud of. Wake up and take charge of your life!!!”
