His Instagram feed is full of controversial pictures of himself holding a large amount of cash, then sitting on luxury cars, but that has turned out to be a smart marketing move, since Slim Jesus has more than 100,000 followers on Instagram. Also, his Twitter account is full of information about his professional work, and is followed by a total of 35,000 of his most loyal fans.

1
Comparing yourself is like consuming a green gallon of toxic poison - makes you feel like crap, poisons your view of yourself, and kills your spirit... Why? why are you doing this to yourself? It's an instant happiness stealer. It makes you work way harder than you need to, because doing it makes you feel like you never have enough, do enough, or are good enough, because there is always someone better.

I accept life unconditionally. Most people ask for happiness on condition. Happiness can only be felt if you don't set any condition. I have found that if you love life, life will love you back. (Apr 3, 2014)

Don't believe the saying, "You complete me." The truth is no other person can complete you.. but you can complete yourself. All you need is you. Look no further than yourself. You just need to believe it. Life is simple, it's just not easy. Have faith in you.

Let go of Fear! Lean into what terrifies you. If you weren't afraid, you wouldn't be alive. But what terrifies you is what's keeping you from living. For many, it's failure. Acknowledge it. Accept it. And push through it. And you'll realize it doesn't exist. It's just a projected shadow of your imagination. Fear can protect you but being terrified will paralyze you. You can't feel invincible and terrified at the same time. You must pick one. The choice is yours.

You aren't born good or bad. Maybe you're born with tendencies, or into an environment that tries to persuade you, but its the way you choose to live your life that ultimately defines you. Your tomorrow depends entirely on what you do with today.

Everyone wants a happy ending. But over the years I've learned that some of the best poems don't rhyme, some cool melodies don't go together and many great stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, or end. That's life! (January 13, 2015)
