Hey guys and girls!  Happy Tuesday morning!  I hope you're all having an amazing start to your day!  I started writing this blog post yesterday, and I've included my post below.  I hope you enjoy it!  

I'm sitting in a cafe right now in Beverly Hills as I write this post, and I've been thinking about how incredibly crazy, random, (and sometimes difficult!) life can be at times. And yet at the same time, I've been thinking about how incredibly awesome all of the randomness of life can be!  Life is so beautiful, isn't it?

And life is so unpredictable!  It still amazes me to think that I've lived here in Southern California for 11 years already!  (First of all, where did all that time go?!) Haha.
Secondly, it's crazy to think about how I've ended up living this LA life of an artist, when it all began as a thought, a dream.  It's been a quite incredible journey - with lots of ups and downs - and it has taught me many life-lessons.  

One of the most important lessons that I've learned about pursuing passions and working as an artist is that you must give yourself a lot credit for following through with a dream. In fact, regardless of what your job or passion may be - artistic or not - you should feel proud of yourself for working hard every single day in the pursuit of your happiness.  It's important to give yourself credit for continuing to keep moving, every single day!  It is also important to celebrate all of your victories, large and small, recognizing that you are powerful and courageous!

Living here in Hollywood has taught me to embrace change and uncertainty, even though that is not easy to do. It has taught me a lot about how to handle doubt and rejection.  And most importantly, this business and this artist-lifestyle has taught me about the importance of living every moment with as much joy as possible!

We have one life, one shot to find as much happiness and love as possible!  

Get out there and find it, my friend!  You deserve so much love and happiness :)

 Happy Tuesday, guys and girls! 

I hope you've been having a wonderful day!  And I hope that September has been treating you with kindness and love.  

I wanted to quickly check in with all of you here on Behind The Sign, and I want to remind you of something that many of us often tend to forget:  You are very strong.

Super strong!

My friend out there reading this, it's important to remind yourself of just how strong you are in order for you to understand that you are absolutely capable of overcoming any difficulty or hardship that you might be faced with today.  

Life is not always easy, and there will probably always be a certain type of struggle that you'll need to overcome.  Yet, this is not something to fear or view in a negative light. Quite the opposite, actually.  We grow and learn a tremendous amount about ourselves and other people when we are faced with challenges in life.  The key is to never give up.

Regardless of any challenge that you might be facing today, stay strong and stay focused on being good to yourself.  You're stronger than you probably even realize.  

Have a great night, my strong friend!

What's up guys and girls!  Welcome to September 2016!

I have to admit that I say this on the first day of every single month, but I'll say it again here:  I cannot believe that it's already another new month!  I suppose I have a really hard time accepting how quickly time flies by.    

You know, even though time seems to fly by, day by day and month by month, I am also reminded of a lesson on the first day of each month.  I am reminded of the importance of living each day with as much happiness and joy as I possibly can.  

Through all of the ups and downs of life, we're here for one ride, and the ride tends to fly by very quickly.  It's important to enjoy the ride!  Enjoy every single day of September, friends.  Live it up!  Even during days that are tough for you, remember that there are always many things to be grateful for.  

(Check out my YouTube channel for more about tips on making it through one of those tough days that I just talked about!)   

Lots of Love, and here's to lots of happiness in September!
