I am thankful to be an artist with the freedom to carry out my dreams. By

working mindfully towards my passions, I've attracted opportunities that

have helped me make my dreams a reality.

We are all given innate tools to help us become successful. These

tools, however, are useless unless we pick them up and use them.

Admittedly, I humbly acknowledge that I am also blessed to be living in a

country and an environment that allows me to use these tools without

restrictions - but that also means that I have no excuses. With that in

mind, I try to live by a certain set of rules - a code that I follow - in order to enhance my

freedoms and make my dreams attainable.

1. Dreams and goals.

If you can dream it, you can achieve it. Dreams create personal goals that

help me move forward in life. I set no parameters for setting goals. They

can be detailed or simple. It might not happen within my expected or

desired time frame, but with persistence (and sometimes forced patience!)

the dreams seem to be fulfilled in their own perfect time. My

suggestion is to dream big without limits!

2. Surrounded by supportive people.

I always aim to surround myself with loving family and friends who are

happy for me and my successes, and supportive of me during my trials and

tribulations. Life is too short to waste time with people who are not

supportive. Instead, focus on how many beautiful people there are in the

world with those who will support you and be happy for you! In a

nutshell, I love sharing my "pearls" in life with those who see the beauty

in my success because of my journey getting there.
