Good morning beautiful people.. Hope and Dreams are tied together and normally the backbone of optimism. If there’s no sense of hope then folks can sell themselves that there isn’t a reason to dream. Hope is influenced by your environment but it can only truly be created internally. A drive, a wish, a feeling that you can make this life a special one. Without it.. dreams are only what happens at night. Having and maintaining hope can be an incredibly hard feat, especially in difficult situations.. but it is a necessity.. you have to tell your brain that life can and will be better.. and then the dreaming of what that looks like begins. Funny thing about goals and aspirations and dreams are they are THE BLUEPRINT that drives every success story. This intangible thought can become the driver of every moment and every decision. We all yearn for stuff, it’s natural.. “I want to be a _____ when I grow up”.. “I want ____ for Christmas or my birthday”.. WANTING things is a GOOD thing.. It can be the greatest motivator on earth. Hope leads to Dreams.. Dreams lead to Want.. your want HAS TO lead to Work I remember when I wanted to change the trajectory of my family tree. I wanted to retire my parents.. I wanted a house with a staircase in it… I didn’t want to watch my mom feel the pressure of whether or not the card was gonna go thru every time we bought anything anywhere.. It has been my “why” for 30 years now. I’m a white trash kid from the East Hills of Pittsburgh.. My dad a truck driver, mom a secretary.. I was conceived in an apartment directly above a trap house. My brother’s first home was that $100/month apartment directly above a street pharmacist. Life looks good for me and my family now.. We’re very proud of that but, EVERYDAY I make time to think about my dreams.. they’re a little different now and include my bride and a 2.5 year old angel girl who has my last name but, those dreams and the others before are the reason I wake up in the morning. I appreciate the hell out of them. Find hope. Dream huge.. and work your ass off to GO GET THAT SHIT. For YOU. Let’s have a day. #LifeThoughtsAt194Degrees #ThoseRocksAreTheRealDealBrother

Good morning beautiful people.. Life is a wild thing.. one moment you can be staring into a mirror at a broken person and then the next moment a spark of motivation and inspiration can drop into your universe and change the trajectory of it all. Maybe it’s a memory of a good time or better days.. maybe it’s a random run-in with a life changing energy.. maybe it’s a perspective changer like the death of somebody you love.. or MAYBE.. just maybe.. you get to the point that you decide to finally say fuck it, and eliminate the anchors and start seeking out the things that make you feel good. Things that make you feel worthy.. things that make you focus on being happy while you do your one and only existence on this planet. Everyday is a chance for war if you want it… and on the flip side.. everyday if you consciously look for it, there is an opportunity to find something that makes you celebrate being alive. We woke up today.. let’s remember that THAT IS A WIN. Good luck aht there “Just worry about today” ~ @Lane_Kiffin #LifeThoughtsFrom194Degrees
