Introduction: The Beginnings of Motivated In Life
Well, hello Vocal Media community! I joined today and thought, the best way to start my story would be to provide an introduction. I'm not much of a story writer, so hope it doesn't bore you too much nor come across as me selling my services! (I would like to do that, but I have my other channels for that, this is more for me to share knowledge, insights and experiences with you all.)

End Market Exclusivity
In this slowly dying world that we live, we humans have created a social and economic system rooted in exclusivity, exclusivity derived from the opinions, biases, and agendas of individuals (or groups or markets of individuals) claiming that they are the 'all knower's' of what the people want and of what the people don't want—of what is 'good' and of what is 'bad'—insofar said individuals become the 'key holders' to these markets, the dictators of who gets to 'make it' into the respective market, and who doesn't. Themselves clandestinely worshiping ageism and pretending to be gods with regards to their industry knowledge when they are but in-fact infants in an unimaginably young Universe.

Every Good Thing Is Counted
I've had a bit of a setback. It's very easy to sink back into old habits, especially if you're having trouble getting back to a semi-regular sleeping pattern. I found even if I had the motivation to do anything it would be too late at night to do it, particularly as I live with other people. I don't think there's an easy solution to it, other than to keep trying. I finally broke it by staying up 24 hours and then finally going to sleep at an early time, and then forcing myself to get up when my alarm went off. For a few days I was still pretty lethargic.

Choosing Life
I graduated college in the Summer of 2017. I worked hard during school, competing and winning a writing competition, trying to get the best grades I could, officer positions in a club and anything else I could do that would make me stand out on a resume.

Tools to Tackle your “Wouldn’t it be Nice” To-Do List
Do you have something you’ve been meaning to try or explore? An idea that crossed your mind and captured your attention, but you put it aside, categorized as not reasonable, not possible, or for you to do if and when you get the chance? If you made a list of all the things you’d like to accomplish or try, how long would your list be?

Common Mistakes with the Law of Attraction and How to Avoid Them and Gratitude and the Law of Attraction
The Law of Attraction is a great way to start to accomplish your dreams and make your potential successes come true. However, it is possible to overdo it when first getting involved with the Law of Attraction. Many people think that they can simply will their achievements into existence, but it isn’t that easy. You must take a methodical, reasonable approach when using the Law of Attraction to help yourself become successful.

I am Currently Writing Two Books at the Same Time!
In 2007 I began thinking about my life as it has been and at the ripe old age of 43 I discovered that my life was a lot more... OK, a few notches above... a Harlequin Novel. Juicey stuff. Ka-Ka-KaarAAAaaaAAzzzeee stuff. It was around then that so many perils had flooded into my life. Addiction; Porn career; Gay Marriage; Music career as one of the very best drummers in the Land, sitting on my drum throne at the helm of the absolute finest RUSH Tribute Band in Canada(I kid you freaking NOT! It's TRUE and it's all over YouTube. 'Test4Echo' - look it up!).I gave up my Career in Hotel and Restaurant Management, right as I was nearing the goal of working as Management in the finest Hotel in my hometown of Victoria BC Canada - The Empress Hotel. I was a Bartender. I made a lot of money. I loved the job. But I got pulled away when THE UNIVERE decided to make my VERY FIRST BAND WORLD-FUCKING-FAMOUS... and get this- it was a freaking SPEED METAL BAND! At the time I just married two drumming styles - Neil Peart and Dave Lombardo and wha-lah! Instant progressive speedy DRUMMING perfection. (Later in life, one of the guitarists who shall not be named because we don't mention him or the band around Terry anymore...because said guitarist wrote a song. It was simply titled 'TERRY'. It was all about my sexuality.

At a Loss of Words
There have been moments where I was not sure what to say or even write. It was as though nothing came to my mind. In fact, this entire essay is one of those moments. I want to write about something. I do not care what. Yet, the main issue I have is WHAT to write about.

What's Your Excuse Not To Write Now
Oh boy! Now you’ve done it! You’ve found yourself working from home, unable to go out to the local Italian restaurant because of whatever new ban is in effect. You’re pissed off because you think your freedoms have been violated (they have, but I digress). And you’re a writer.

On the Corner of Selfish and Selfless
I saw her on a Wednesday morning on my way to pick up some medicine for my cat. She was standing at the corner of Central and Hillside outside of the Spangles restaurant as I patiently waited for the traffic light to give me permission to move on.
