Who's My Biggest Hater?

You have goals and dreams for the future right? Places you want to visit, people you want to meet. You want to accomplish so many things in life. My guess is your list is like probably as big in size as you are! Wow, that is amazing and I am happy that you have all these ambitions in life. I am exited for you but wait, is there a problem? You really haven't started on your path to succeeding your plans yet. You say that one day you will be happy and proud of your accomplishments and the thought of that feels great, but you feel that isn't enough for your to start. Why is that? We begin to think about all the obstacles that can stop us. Some friends might not agree with ideas, might not believe that you can be good at what you love. You begin to absorb all the negative things so quickly and leave out the positive. We tend to always expect the worst of things and because of it we tend to stop moving.  We begin to feel stuck why isn't my life progressing when my goals and dreams are so great and I know I can accomplish them. You start to get angry and start looking for something to blame. You feel like people are hating on you. That they don't want you to succeed. That maybe because of them your dreams are taking a little longer to be accomplished. You start thinking why should I even try when people aren't going to like me, or be proud of me. Your mind begins to put all these thoughts in your head of why you should stop. Sometimes the most simplest itty bitty problem that can be so easily stopped, takes us like a hundred steps back.

Have you ever stopped to think who is your biggest hater? Have you ever thought that maybe it could be YOU?! We look so hard for places far and beyond to find an excuse to why it is we aren't moving forward. So take a few seconds and pause. Don't look back, forward, or besides you, but look with in you. Speak to yourself, it might sound crazy but let yourself know. The world might be harsh and throw some tomatoes at you from time to time but no one can stop you but you. Tell yourself to stop listening to negative influence, stop taking in bad criticism, stop allowing over all things from YOU to put you down! Of course there are some moments in which we need to take a breather and thats alright go ahead. I have gone thru this myself, recently actually. I thought why, why do I feel like everything is  against me, why am I feeling stuck with my own self. Is it because people are just some big haters and because of them my path to success gets blocked. Whats the deal? Then one brilliant night as I thought to myself, I found what I was looking for. It was me, I was my biggest hater. I was putting myself down for the simplest things. I would find ways to block the path towards success for my life, it was I. We could be the hardest critics towards ourselves and we shouldn't do that all the time. We should motivate ourselves!


I'm here to tell you STOP being your biggest hater! Be positive there will always be a solution to your doubt and problems. Don't find more problems for your problems, but find SOLUTIONS, everything will fall into place. I have been thru it, I'm still finding my way and I will not be the one stopping me. I will accomplish my goals! This is my short thought for today. Stop hating and start loving who you are and who you can become! I hope I was able to help and give motivation for you to keep moving forward. I know you will accomplish your goals
with greatness!


LOVE,

Am I Worth It?

       

 Growing up in the "hood" as we say, I don't know where your "hood" might be but as for me it's South Central Los Angeles. I grew up in an environment where education and purpose is not so important. Can anyone relate?  We see our lives as just being able to get by in the world. Our education system can be so caught up focusing on the wrong things. They don't worry about our education and potential, they worry more about discipline they just want to make sure we do not look gang affiliated or sell drugs on campus. We are not taught how great and important education is, how much potential we have to make a change for our community and what a positive influence we can be to those that will come after us (the younger ones).  For example in 11th grade I had an English teacher for math class! Like what? Sometimes the teacher wouldn't even know the answers to some of the problems. I'm pretty bad at math myself so that was no help for me what so ever. Getting back to the point, we grow up in this environment that gives us no support, with the idea of Just getting by in life is ok.

         When it was time for senior year I had no plans on going to college. I had a mentality like maybe most students around me had. I'm going to graduate, find myself an "office job", get married young have kids and there my life is set. NO No no wrong mentality completely! I didn't think I was worth it. Was I worth moving on up to greater things and going after my dreams?  Should I just settle with what I'm comfortable with, Just good enough? I didn't think I was smart enough to go to a college and pursue my dreams. I was wrong, me being the person that I am I had to seek something other than what was just good enough. I had the whole world to experience and I wasn't going to just stay sitting on my comfortable couch. I was going to go beyond my comfort zone. I didn't want to be the average. I do not think any one should be the average I believe that everyone has the potential to do great positive things, we are all here for a purpose. The "COMFORTABLE" zone is the problem. Why take risks and step out my "I'm doing ok, life". Not that its a bad thing if your okay with it then go ahead do yo thang. Maybe, why not step into "I'm doing great, life, or I've had amazing experiences, life, I lived up my dreams, life"! Maybe its not about going to college, maybe you have a business plan you want to start, maybe you want to start a charity, maybe you want to be an artist. It might take some hard work and dedication and maybe your not use to it, but trust me I understand, hardwork and dedication were not in my vocabulary before. I feel you completely! That does not mean that inside of you isn't a will that is beyond greater than what you know.

         Am I worth it? The answer is YES YOU ARE! You were brought into this world to squeeze the life out of it, take advantage of every possibility it is never to late to start over. Take risks if it doesn't work then you will just be back at where you started from, ready to do something new. You don't want to live a life of "What If". I'm still finding myself and there is so many things in life I want to do still. I am taking it one step at a time, take a chance. You are worth it! I hope this little thought of mind may help you in any way, even if just to give you a little push to keep moving forward. I am honored to do so!

Thanks for reading
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015

Who is Jaycreates?!

This is Jay sharing a piece of me with you today! 

First let me tell you how happy I am that you are part of my first blog post ever, like ever!
Thanks Tons!! 

So here It goes...... yay ^__^

In The Beginning  
My real name Is Jocelyn Arciniega I am a 23 Year old Latina born and raised in South Central California. South Central California ooooh scary some might say, ummm.....no not really I promise you it isn't that bad.  I grew up right in the center of it all I would say, in between Vermont and Normandie on this famous little street named Budlong. Have you heard of it? Well that street be poppin I tell you from MLK Jr street to Florence ave. Really!.. Anyway,  I am the third child of four girls and we grew up with both our parents. Ill keep their identities out of the blog just incase. 










Schools
 I went to Budlong Elementary in which at the time I was a real tomboy. As a kid I really liked doing what little boys did. I would like playing cops and robbers, racing them (I always won) and playing with toy guns and swords. I would pretend I was literally a boy at times. I also loved skateboarding, lets not leave that out, my first board was a wooden board with a bulldog on the back and it didn't even have any grip tape but I still did do a couple of great ollies in that board I swear I thought I would be the next Elissa Steamer! Who Was I kidding? I was too scared to learn tricks because I didn't want to break my ankle. The furthest I got to was an ollie, shove it, pop shove it, and 180, also going down some ramps, nothing fancy. So I guess that dream went out the door. Next was middle school, John Muir Middle School, that was when I transformed I started thinking  about hmmmm boys like girls so maybe they can start liking me, but not if I'm still acting and dressing like a boy. I needed to change something. I also had my sister the oldest always telling me that I had to start dressing and acting like a girl because I was... A GIRL.  So I went to ask her for help. Slowly But  surely I started transforming. Now Highschool, Manual Arts Senior High. Wow high school was awesome, that is one part of education you don't want to miss I promise you. It is so fun with such great adventures. I met so many amazing people whom I still have great relationships with. I graduated in June 2009 and now the real world began. 

Adult Hood
There were two careers I wanted to pursue after high school. They were Music and Fashion,but as I wondered about what I would love to do for a very long time, I knew music was the choice for me. You see I grew up in a Christian home and have been Christian since I was 8 years old. I began playing the drums in church when I was 12. Ever since then I have performed and dedicated so much time in music. I wanted to do more that just play drums tho, I wanted to be a part of the music industry in many ways. I searched to see which college would be best for me and I came upon what at the time was named  the Los Angeles Music Academy. The producing program was exactly what I was looking for. From playing an instrument to songwriting to DJing to producing other people, It truly caught my Attention. The Program really opened my eyes to what I really wanted to do and that is?????? Expressing my self thru writing! That is what brings me to my Final words.

Conclusion
The reason I start this chapter in my life is because I feel I can express myself in a better way in writing. I want to help motivate and inspire  others through my songs, thoughts and experience. I am here to give my RAW opinion in day to day life situations. I may not have the best solutions although they will be pretty good if I may say, but I will help give you an extra way to solving problems for sure. I would love to help the world and my community be a better place. So I am starting my I WONDER BLOG, I will be putting up questions that deep inside you might be wondering about and answer them with my best opinion. So this is a short, super brief summary of who I am and where I come from, but as I get into certain topics I will explain my life experiences in more detail. Stay tuned!

Thank you for your time.
