Inspiration



For those who don't know, this is the work of Faith 47 and Dal East. They are married and I think they make the most amazing street art out there. I have a lot of respect fore these street artists who give us their talent for free. I have no problem with them using the Streets of the world as their canvas. 




The overarching objective of Mandela Day is to inspire individuals to take action to help change the world for the better, and in doing so build a global movement for good. 
Ultimately it seeks to empower communities everywhere. 
Take Action; Inspire Change; Make Every Day a Mandela Day.”
Individuals and organisations are free to participate in Mandela Day as they wish. 
We do however urge everyone to adhere to the ethical framework of “service to one’s fellow human”.

Being an African is something very special to me, we get to fight for what we want and believe in and I believe that shapes personality. 
More than just being a freedom fighter, Mandela inspires many different areas in life.


He even has an impact on fashion with those amazing once off patterned shirts he always wears.
And lastly he inspires me. 
I just combined this great image with a quote. 
I apologise for not crediting the photographer but I can find the original. 






One of my favourite films.
Love the styling and mood.

So many little details you only notice the second and third time you watch it.
















 











Completely stole these quotes from someone else's blog, just thought it was so real. check the link at the bottom. 


Timing is everything.
More than any other quality, being genuine is key.
Sometimes most of the time, it's not about you.
Put what you love in front of you and let the path create itself.
Learning to write meaningful greeting cards is an incredibly underrated "adult" skill.
You get what you pay for.
It's OK to be completely Justin Bieber style obsessed with some piece of
artwork or poetry or music.
If you knew how little other people actually think about you, you'd stop being so self conscious.
Revisit all the music your dad played when you were younger. You won't believe how much more you understand it now.
Be grateful. Always. No matter how much your ego wants to indulge self-entitlement.
Don't bad mouth - it says more about you than it does the person you're talking about.
Show/tell you friends how valuable they are to you.  They're family away from family.
People change their minds. And they're allowed to.
If you don't exercise, you will gain weight.
Trust life. Life knows what it's doing more than you do.
Don't be a jealous, sneering girl.  It's not cute.
Having patience is something that will make your life 10 times easier.
Pay attention to how much money you spend on coffee. Cause it's stupid.
Learn to relax.  
There's a fine line between ambition and desperation.

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too seldom, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years to life, not life to years.

We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space; we've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we've split the atom, but not our prejudice.

We write more, but learn less; we plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but lower morals; we have more food, but less appeasement; we build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; we've become long on quantity, but short on quality.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men, and short character; steep profits, and shallow relationships. These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition.

These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer to quiet to kill.

It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom; a time when technology has brought this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to make a difference, or to just hit delete...
