One question that's constantly on my mind is "what's next?". With infinite possibilities one can have a hard time deciding where to go next, but with understanding ourselves we can choose the path of greatest fulfillment. The boundaries of our own imagination are like our ever expanding universe, creation without limits.
Our talents lay the foundation of our advancement, we can only grow by leaving our comfort zone. Experience is the wisdom and understanding that will guide us to our next venture. Hard work and persistence will always be the tools of the trade.
Having a large dream to work towards is essential in moving forward, as our path forks we can't let the vision of our destination fade. Knowing when to diversify and when to stay focused is as simple as following your heart. There are no wrong answers to what's next if you stay true to yourself and your dream.
A new talent can branch from an old and shape our next project. A digital artist can also become a photographer, a blogger can become a novelist and any other creative mediums can branch into many other endeavors. Don't ever think you are limited in any way, always think about what's next.

A New Beginning
As our Nation changes direction new opportunities will arise, systems will fall, and power will be taken from the select few. Real progress will be made, those content with the status quo will have to adapt or be left behind. Burdens will be lifted to provide those under the weight a fighting chance.
Responsibility remains as always with the individual to stand on their own two feet and become their own person. Those who have the gumption to work at developing new skills will see the fruits of their labor. If we can not find our way then we need to forge a new path.
The new beginning will be an opportunity for unity and love, the divide can be healed but hatred will have to be cast aside. Fairness is a sophistry touted by those on top who only wish to divide us, if we ignore our problems we can never overcome them. Violence and hateful rhetoric are destructive forces, real change comes from the creation of something new.
Pride and ego only lead to a dead end, only with compassion and love can we create something worthwhile. Changing the world for the better is done through self-realization but can never be done for one's self. Our success will inspire others to action in a chain reaction that will create a new beginning.

The Creative Entrepreneur
When I'm creating the last thing I think about is making money but unfortunately if we want to have more time to create we have to be able to support ourselves with creation full-time. For those who wish to take that next step towards full-time creation the path will be full of obstacles like with any business venture. I'm in the process of moving towards having the ability to become a creative entrepreneur but I have owned my own business for over five years now and offer my experience to any who wish to hear it.
Always think bigger than your resources allow, by this I mean think about what's next. By limiting ourselves to what we currently have the means to create we only slow our progress. Knowing when to take a leap and when to hold your course comes with experience and intuition.
Diversify, don't put all your eggs in one basket thinking you have a sure thing. Creation is never limited, so why should we limit ourselves to one type of product? Competition is fierce and building an audience can be a daunting task in this current environment but with persistence and quality we can reach many.
Never expect anyone to do anything for you, but at the same time be grateful for the unexpected opportunities that are given to you. Finding your niche means a lot of hours spent working for free but look at the time spent as an investment not a loss. Learn to say no to those who wish to use you for their own personal gain but cherish those who trust in you to create something wonderful.
Treat every moment of the day as an opportunity to advance. Being your own person is hard work but has infinite rewards. All that we do we should do with all our heart, our passion will be our guide.

Divine Birthright
Within all of us is the greatest gift ever given, the gift of infinite potential. To willingly discard this gift is the greatest tragedy. We have to wake up and get out of this matrix style reality if we wish to become all we were meant to be.
As a son of man my love for Humanity is unconditional and absolute. I weep when I see potential wasted and rejoice when I see potential awaken. Throw aside all the poison that has been fed to us from ungrateful masters and become your own person, not at the expense of others but for the love of one another.
The forbidden fruit was not an apple, it was the knowledge of all creation a "cheat sheet" of sorts. God was angered that Adam chose to throw aside his own potential to allow hidden knowledge not from himself become his guide. That's right Adam gained the knowledge of the universe and it gained him only death.
I have a part to play in building the foundation of the coming golden age, for no reason other than my love for Humanity. My Art will play a small part but it is only an expression of my true-self awakening. I will do all that I can to save those who are lost, but the choice still remains for each of us to realize our potential and inherit our Divine Birthright.
This is a painting I did for Shawn O'Toole's ( http://yellowplasma.deviantart.com/ ) Prehistory story "Protogenesis". I realized after I was finished this should be read from right to left in chronological order, it tells the story of the two civilizations before Genesis, Tiamat and Mars. Both civilizations fell short of their potential leaving Earth as the last remaining Genesis. There is a message of love as well as a warning within.
More of my work can be found at http://zellphrie.deviantart.com/
This is the finished cover, Shawn O'Toole designed the original font and cover format.

The Power of Positive
The power of positive thinking is nothing to take for granted, many successful people will attest to the strength they found in being positive. Our success really is up to us, all we have to do is focus our energy and ignore all doubt. The first obstacle we have to overcome is ourselves, or more specifically our negative selves.
I personally have found success in removing all cynicism or self-sabotaging negative thoughts. Everything I have set my mind to has or is in the process of becoming a reality simply because I thought I could. Worry, doubt, and fear are all destructive forces, in order to build a better life we should live with the creative forces of love, dreams, and imagination.
Positive thinking doesn't mean you force yourself to be perpetually happy, it means removing all the useless negativity. Staying positive can be difficult with the current state of the World but there are a few things you can do to shutout the negative influences. Instead of watching or reading negative news try to read or watch something uplifting and inspirational, avoid toxic people, and most of all realize you are capable of anything.
As this is the first day of the New Year it is especially important that we set our goals and think about how we are going to achieve them. Dream big but start with small steps, always working toward that larger dream. Clear your mind of all negativity, focus on your goal and all will fall into place when your focused energy is unleashed through your actions.
