Have You Seen Your Feathers Lately?

What's goodie my purple family? I hope you all have been living your life like each minute is a world premiere because it is! I'm sure we all know the old saying "birds of a feather". When was the last time you checked your flock? Purple living in part is about being an individual, but it also about helping the flock around you find their color as well. When you set goals for yourself sometimes it's hard for people around to see your vision, but when your flock is purple they may not see it but they'll show the support the same! I wouldn't suggest you stay flying around with them if they don't. As much as we can't control anyone else we can control ourselves and who we choose as a circle. Being that it is now autumn you may notice many different colors on the leaves, but you also notice that they are all growing from the same tree! Nature shows us that we don't have to be the same to be apart of the same growth. Negative people are necessary, they are the ones who make us realize what we don't wanna be.

We should each try and surround ourselves with those who have like minded goals or at least inspire us to reach ours. If you are living an uninspired life what would it benefit me calling you friend? It would be easy for you to pull me down, and just as hard for me to pull you up. Those are the ones who I tend to kindly remove from my circle and I suggest you do the same. Not out of ill will, but the company we keep speaks volumes about who we are. I choose to seek out people who try and live inspired lives and add to my purple. In turn I try to encourage what ever dreams and goals my circle desires to achieve. It's give and take. You can't possibly to go through life taking while offering nothing of yourself and hope to grow. Sorry to tell you, but you would have better luck getting my dog, Sade, to rap along to a Marv and Cash song.

One of the most powerful and influential people in the world said "you should treat your circle of friends like a dart board, each one getting smaller and smaller and you should deal with them accordingly". I don't think Ms.Winfrey could have said it any clearer. There's nothing wrong with having friends who don't always see the level of water in the cup as, half-full or half-empty as long they allow me to acknowledge that there is a cup! A person who doesn't even acknowledge there can be a full cup could not be someone in my inner flock. That is someone who will never drink, they will never taste a whole drink or even a half empty drink of that juice we call success how ever you define it. A friend would not hamper my vision, no matter if they believe or not. Find a support system of like minded people and you'll be surprised to see your goals eventually begin to materialize. So before you get ready to take flight, check around and make sure your feathers are beginning to turn the same colors. Purple...

What Do You Think?

What's up my purple family! We're back yet again for another small tip on living a purple life. Believe it or not, everything we do in this life we actually do two times. Once in thought and then the action. So my question to our family is "What do you think"? It's hard enough staying productive with all the distractions we have available to us, but throw the hustle and bustle of day to day tasks on top of it and it's a wonder how we have anytime to think about the things we're passionate about. Our thoughts for the most part dictate what kind of state of being we're in. Think purple, be purple! If you don't like the condition you are in, try changing your thoughts and you might be surprised.

The president and CEO of Inner City Broadcasting Company Percy Sutton said "If you could pray for only one thing, let it be for an idea." When we at least find some time to occupy our thoughts on the things we want they become more tangible. Instead of putting energy and thought on what someone else is thinking let's concentrate on our own idea's and light bulbs! We purple people love thinking and acting on our behalf and it all starts in the mind my friends.

So from now on let's remember that what's on the inside is reflected on the outside. Therefore if you spend your day with useless things on your mind it's a good chance you're having a useless day. It's not our job to preach to you, after all these are things we all struggle wit but as purple people we feel change is necessary to grow and evolve. So till next time people, stay purple!
