The more people speak in a candid approach, the better. Imagine if the world’s leaders weren’t allowed a teleprompter or didn’t write a speech before they spoke. Similarly, imagine if people on YouTube didn’t take 10 attempts to record a talking head video and just spoke their mind. The more we edit things and filter our voice, the worse.

No need to be scared

Anything done on the streets is typically better. When Rittenhouse Square has their art festivals I always find that the street artists that are not invited, but show their work on the other side of the street is much better.

I think this is similar to street photography where the work that’s made on the streets and typically not in galleries is much more exciting than work that is made in controlled settings.

Street photography is the best photography and street art is the best art.

While it can be nice to feel bored and sit around doing nothing sometimes, my lust for life will always be present. The goal for me is to remain excited about life. Every night I go to sleep early because I am so insanely excited for the next day. When I wake up in the morning I want to get outside as quickly as possible and to embrace the chaos. Become somebody that can’t be messed with, but be playful, and spread more joy.

Real life is outside your window. There are infinite possibilities and endless terrain to conquer.

I believe the reason why travel is so powerful is that it opens you up to the multifaceted ways people live within the world. Upon my travels to Zambia, Africa I recognize that thriving is possible under a thatched roof. There seems to be a general misconception about poverty and the preconceived notions about life in a village.

No not that sick Prada shirt or shoes.

It seems that real luxury is having leisure time to kill through walking outdoors. The real sign of success is the amount of time somebody spends under the sun. Real luxury is having a beautiful body and a strong core.

For instance you could be the wealthiest person in the world but feel dead inside. Or you could be the poorest man on the planet but have an abundance of lust for life.

Wealth and power are a mindset.
