Everyone wants to feel like they’re doing the right thing, or at the very least, not out getting lost doing something nobody’s done before. That’s reasonable—it’s why we have roads rather than lots of random paths, schools rather than teaching ourselves, metaphorical maps for life rather than being left to our own whims. But it’s also really hard to do anything that’s really OURS if we do what’s always been done before. . We may not need to draw completely new maps, but we do need to be willing to follow our own paths rather than the ones others foist on us (with or without our consent). If everything we do is just like what everyone else does, none of it is ours—and none of it reflects us. Go draw your own map where it makes the most sense to do so. It doesn’t have to be everything (some paths are well worn for a reason!), but make sure you find your own way at least some of the time. Everyone needs to break some new ground in their own way. . . . . . posted on Instagram - http://bit.ly/2KkAlSt

Started a new project interviewing people who I think have helpful life/business advice to share. First subject is @andersvarner who recently left the CrossFit gym he co-owned, in order to do something he is more passionate about. His honest answers are a great read for anyone looking to do their own thing, regardless of the specific profession. The information relates to everyone. Check out the full blog post on my website.

I’ve been fortunate (& wise) to surround myself with cheerleaders to follow intentions of the heart. There are no shape here! #leadersnotsheep #dontfollowthemasses #doyourownthing (at Summerlin North, Las Vegas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNkm4-vr9ZQ/?igshid=bxgxomjo9diq

A young artist confided that she was feeling great ANXIETY to achieve success QUICK as she compares herself to others. She's having trouble focusing on her art because of the pressure. Do you ever feel that way? 💥💥💥 My advice was: You have to change your perspective NOW and come to know this: every artist has their OWN path to take. 🔆 You can’t hop on someone else’s path to arrive at your own destination! 🎶 When Eddie Van Halen was a teenager, he played guitar day and night. While the other kids were out playing, he focused on mastering his art. Day and night, Eddie rarely left his bedroom, playing guitar for hours. In the beginning, people didn't understand his new style of music. But eventually, Eddie Van Halen's guitar style became iconic. 🎶 Artists that are becoming MASTERS at what they do never PAY ATTENTION to what OTHER artists are doing. They are TOO BUSY DOING THEIR OWN THING. They don’t compare or copy. 🎶 They focus on what THEY want, what THEY are inspired by, what THEY love. AND THEY THINK FOR THEMSELVES. 😜 If you want to be remembered and known for your art, do the same. Stay on your OWN path and don’t look at what others are doing, because that will only distract you from your own mastery. 🎶 One day, after years of keeping your head down and working on your own art, you’ll look up and say “wow, I’ve come a long way.” 😀 I wrote a lengthy blog post on this topic - if you want to read the whole article, tap the link in my BIO to go to my blog. 🌺 And hey, leave a comment here or there if this resonates with you! #artmoneysuccess #blogpost #mariabrophy #masteryourart #doyourownthing https://www.instagram.com/p/CMsM4ZlHtpH/?igshid=18rla37mtk6e9

Do your own thing! Weddings and celebrations look different this year, and that's okay. a wedding doesnt "have to be" anything to be special and meaningful. The message of this year is do your own thing and enjoy every minute of it. We memory makers at Salt Shaker Consulting are here to help you make that happen.
