Do.

As of last week I have decided that i'm going to start doing. It finally sunk in that ideas and dreams without any action are just wishes. Nothing great was ever accomplished by dreaming and planning only. If all the great inventors and creatives kept their ideas to themselves and didn't do anything about them we wouldn't have some of the great things we have today. The last thing I want to happen is for me to lay on my death bed one day and have a bucket full of 'what its'. I would rather fail my way to success/my purpose than to sit around. At this point in my life the hunger for doing something bigger than my self is greater than the fear of failure, judgement and rejection. I'm going to start making it a habit of not only jotting down the things I want to do, but actually sticking to doing them even if the mood I said I would do them has left. The first thing is this blog post. I've been saying for weeks I need to start writing more on the blog but have always found an excuse not to. Secondly, my camera has been sitting around in the bottom drawer of my closest collecting dust. I've always said I wanted to take better pictures but stopped carrying it with me wherever I go. This morning I made it a point to take it with while I ran my errands. You can view the photographs on lzimelaphotography.tumblr.com For the longest time I have been interested in DIY/Craft but have never really did anything about it. Then it hit me. Since I also like Style and fashion, I am going to thrift and ask my Pops for old ties and convert them into skinny ties. I can't sew to save my life but I will sit down and teach my shaky hands how to. Whatever it is you want to do(nothing illegal hopefully) I encourage you to start. You'll be grateful to yourself that you did plus you'll feel warm and fuzzy when you have accomplished what you set out to to. -L Zimela.

Facts.

"Taking my inner child i'm fighting for a custody."

I feel like the more we grow up and the more experience, the less creative we become.

Remember there was a time where you thought you could be and do anything? You tried different things without fear of failure.

Society will try and limit you. Don’t let them get your inner child.

Going to JHB in about five days time for training. I'll be away for 19 nights. I don't know how feel about it really, some days I'm excited, others anxious and sometimes I don't feel nothing at all. It's not going up to JHB that's the problem. It's coming back and working on what I've been trained on. It's the same fear that has made rise above challenges I thought were impossible. I hate failure, especially when it's a result of giving up. It's funny when people believe in you more than you do yourself. Almost everybody thinks I'll be able to handle it. I'll definitely make the most out of my stay in Jozi though. That's the least I can do 🎥. Anyways, I keep reminding myself that "Change is hard at the beginning, messy in the middle, gorgeous at the end."
