What are you doing with your #life?
Right now ... what are you doing with your life?
Life being reflective, I will ask myself that first ...
What am I doing? Well, I am sitting on the balcony of an apartment in Hollywood overlooking the breathtaking beauty of downtown about to get on a call in an hour with our director slash maybe producer depending on what the big wigs want, (don't look at me I have nothing to do with it), for the pilot that is being based on this site and my life. I have had the most incredible year of my life - and it all started with one decision, to be happy. Of course with any decision that sounds easy, it lead me to the depths of the scariest rabbit hole - ever ... but I still wouldn't change it for the world.
Open up your MIND - open up your EYES ... this is the GREATEST time to be alive ever. ever. ever. ever. ever. I am literally just tearing up at the amount of gratitude that I have for the fact that I am alive right now, in this present moment.
I can't even believe how abundant life is; literally, anything I've wanted in the last year - by using social media and publishing my thoughts constantly you've all been able to help out, and by me letting you assist, my story became yours as well.
This shit literally blows my mind.
Completely illogical. We're raised to go get a job, work really hard, get a house, get a wife ... such bullshit. Go out and just get a LIFE!!!!!!!! What do you want to do with your life? Don't know? Awesome! I didn't either ... I knew I was an entertainer from the womb, so that part was easy. Social media? OMMMMGGGGGGG I took to that like a cocker spaniel in heat. Running my own website and brand? Well, that I am still figuring out, but I make a valiant effort to show up for it everyday. It was little pieces, bread crumbs, everyday that added to a magnificent loaf of awesome.
I just can't believe how far all of this has come in a little over a year, and where we're going just blows my mind. No matter what you hear about where it all ends up, just know from the very first day it started with passion. I was in SUCH a deep depression that I literally had nothing to lose ... I am thankful everyday for that state of desperation. Desperate times call for desperate measures. There were certainly some ups and some downs ... but you learn how to roll with the punches. After all, life is just in how you look at it. I can say it hasn't been easy, but then again, what is easy? What is hard? Things in life just are. There is only the "is" and "is not." Prior to this site, I was not alive. I can't even fathom being around the person that I was back then, and I am grateful everyday for my eyes as they continue to open. Dude, I sit with this furry looking animal thing on my head (aka my spirithood), headphones in my ears, and literally just start dancing anytime I feel the impulse. (PS You have no LIVED until you put on Dancing with Myself, while wearing a spirithood, and hosting a one person dance party in the living room. Um yes - epic.) I live in this constant state of freedom and expression ... how the hell did that happen????
My bottom line in this long rambling post is GET OFF YOUR FUCKING ASS. Today ... right now ... MAKE THAT COUNT! That's all I did. I focused on the 86,400 seconds before me in each and every day, and filled it with as many experiences as I could since it also provided content for this website. I did not did not did not realize how much it would change my entire life. But go, RIGHT NOW ... GET OFF YOUR ASS AND DO SOMETHING!! It's social media!!! Go, get social!!!! People want to help! All you have to do is ask!!! FRREEEEE MAARRKKEETTIIINNGGGG for your ideas!!!! Go, be heard!! Start a site ... I'll gladly give you link love. Start tweeting - here's my twitter: @JenFriel ... start using Facebook - here's mine, I'll totally add you: facebook.com/JenFriel
The world is yours for the taking, but only if you believe ... life is reflective. Be heard, have a voice.
