Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch CBE (born 19 July 1976) is an English actor and film producer who has performed in film, television, theatre and radio.

In 2014, Time magazine included him in its annual Time 100 as one of the "Most Influential People in the World". He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) by Queen Elizabeth II in June 2015 for his services to the performing arts and to charity.

Dr. Stephen Vincent Strange, also known as Doctor Strange, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by artist and character conceptualist Steve Ditko.

5 Lessons

5. Faith is my Sword. Truth my Shield. Knowledge my Armor.

"A true Defender never raises arms against an innocent, no matter how they threaten you--"

 Superheroes aren't always fictional, in fact they're just based on your relative perspective. To many of us our Mothers are our greatest Heroes. The mantra & ethos of a hero, is when given the Chance, they choose to make a difference. Be humbled if you do receive this Gift and do not squander it.

4. Today's Journey could become Tomorrow's Legend.

"I believe observation and knowledge must precede action."

Success does not happen overnight, it's a process, it's a journey and most of the time it's a really really long, really divergent one. Yes it's mucho important to have goals & envision your dream lifestyle but it's even more imperative that you enjoy the path that takes you there. 

3. Never Settle, Never Give Up

"You come into this world as you leave it, on your own. It's made me want to live a life slightly less ordinary."

Success always lies just outside your comfort zone. It's so easy, beyond easy in fact to settle for a life of ordinary when the Extraordinary appears less and less attainable. But I say NAY! BeLEIVE in MORE, believe in YOU. I promise you, you were born with infinite possibility.
Never Settle, Never Give Up.
You are More than what they say you are.

2. Rebel against the Machine

"You seek to weaken my resolve with fear! But know that Dr. Strange understands fear-- and rules it!"

 Challenge yourself EVERYDAY. I might be spontaneous, impulsive even but everyday a new challenge awaits me and I tackle it with renewed vigor. It's awesome to have a plan, just make sure it's flexible enough to include a few twists & turns.
They say intelligent get bored very quickly, if that's you then YAY you, you're intelligent. Which is why it's important to try new things as often as you can.

• Work can become repetitive.
• Life can become repetitive.
• Excersize can become repetitive.
• Relationships can become repetitive.
• Cooking can become repetitive.

The solution is be in a constant state of evolution & adaptation.

1. One more Chapter before Bed

"No matter the danger, no matter the dread challenge that awaits me ... I ... must go forth..." 

As my all time favorite author says, "Books are uniquely portable Magic."
Fits with the theme of Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme, no? :-)

I am a firm believer that the Written Word & Books are mankind's Greatest Invention since the dawn of time. 

Words are immortal. 

Books can transport you to unbelievable worlds, rekindle your romantic heart, emblazon your passions, entangle your emotions, heal your soul, empower you mind and even "put a stopper in death" {Harry Potter fans will get that}

They are the life blood of our society & I could spend infinite lifetimes just reading them ALL.
In the series Supernatural, an angel & the scribe of God, has been living on Earth for centuries & even with his super mind to retain knowledge, his immortality, he still hasn't caught up with all that mankind has written!

Feel infinitely alive TODAY, pick up that book you've been holding out for. Honor the amazing authors that have spent countless hours of rejection upon rejection only to push forward and publish their books. 

Quis Custodiet ipsos Custodes?

--Who will Guard the Guardians?--


Become apart of the Legend that is the Reader.

I hope you enjoyed today's post. Join me next week for another 5 Lessons.
Doctor Strange is scheduled to be released on November 4, 2016

#OlympicGames - 5 Lessons You Taught Me

Inspire. Create. Write.TM

Buenas Dias!
Hope y'all had an Epic weekend. It's a new week with all new opportunities just waiting for you.
This #MondayMotivation we're going with the Health & Fitness Theme on the Blog Tag.
After watching the Olympic Games Rio 2016 trailer & Opening Ceremony with the unbelievably gorgeous Adrianna Lima, I just had to do this post.

The modern Olympic Games or Olympics (French: Jeux olympiques) are the leading international sporting event featuring summer and winter sports competitions in which thousands of athletes from around the world participate in a variety of competitions. The Olympic Games are considered the world's foremost sports competition with more than 200 nations participating. The Olympic Games are held every four years, with the Summer and Winter Games alternating by occurring every four years but two years apart.

Their creation was inspired by the ancient Olympic Games, which were held in Olympia, Greece, from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD. Baron Pierre de Coubertin founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894.
So here are the 5 Lessons learned from the Olympic Games that can be applied to your daily lives.
Remember, Success leaves Clues.

1. Dream Big

"Don't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the further you get," swimmer Michael Phelps told the U.K.'s Daily Mail.

Michael Phelps is the Most decorated Olympian of all time! So take it from him, the only limit in life is you. I get it, it's nurture, our environment, and the "standards" we've become accustomed to. So it's hard for some to believe that there is more out there. But I promise you there is. All you need do is Dream more and ignore limits.

Too often do we settle for less when More becomes exceedingly unavailable. Believe in more.

2. Embrace Hard Work

"Hard days are the best because that's when champions are made," women's gymnastics champ Gabby Douglas told NBC.

Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% Perspiration. 

I won't sugar coat it for ya, it takes massive action and hard, hard work to achieve true success. 

But Today's journey could become tomorrow's Legend. 

3. Cultivate the Team Culture

"Whether we had finished on top or not, the thing that I'm proud of is sticking together," Olympic beach volleyball star Misty May-Treanor told CNN.

No one worth remembering has ever gotten anywhere on their own. It takes a team, it takes a tribe, it takes a mentor, it takes having someone to catch you when you fall. Someone to lift you up when to stumble. Be humble in remembering those that have helped you achieve your success. 

I am truly grateful for a friend who has supported my author of being an author since day one. I cannot even begin to describe my gratitude for her friendship and encouragement.

4. Have Fun

"Have fun, because that's what life is all about," swimmer Ryan Lochte told TeensOnSports.com

What's the point for working hard, taking massive action and dreaming big if you're not having fun along the way? Failure is a big part anyone's journey so it's important to enjoy moments and have fun along the way.

5. This is YOUR Journey

"You were born to be a player. You were meant to be here. This moment is yours,” said coach Herb Brooks told the 1980 U.S.A. men's ice hockey team.

Ahh coach quotes are some of my favorite. They really know how to rev up your soul. 

This is your journey. No one, NO ONE can take that away from you. At the same time that means, this journey...it's your responsibility, it's your choices that define it. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE successful started off where you are right now, they weren't born a winner, they weren't instantly. brightly wealthy, no. So take that realization as incentive to kick out any doubts you may have and go out they to achieve your destiny. 

Make it so they couldn't ignore you even if they wanted to.
