What's The Hulla For?

So, why do I need to go through the process of personal branding? If I can just know my purpose, isn't that enough? I guess that could be true, I mean if my purpose is to sing, why not just sing? But as you delve into the world of personal branding, you realize that you do need to fully develop the main elements of personal branding. These are personality, appearance, competencies and differentiation. Is my appearnce in line with my personality? Am I a conservative with a Bohemian appearance? My competencies address my skills and abilities. Working on my personal brand helps me to identify what needs to be developed, improved or done away with.so, if painting I get my own style, own it to the point it becomes a trademark.

Branding is all about knowing who Iam, being in my purpose, realizing the full potential of my passion and letting the whole world experience it. This is my definition of personal branding.

The Road Not Taken

Here's The Road Not Taken : Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Robert Frost was one of the greatest American poets. He was an important "nature poet" in American literature, famous for his depiction of the New England landscape. Some of his most famous works include: "The Road Not Taken

On My Way!

The journey began some months back. It appears drastic, sudden to all these casual observers, people who listen but don’t really hear, those who hear, those who hear but have no understanding , those so blind that even when the noon sun shines, it’s as if a blanket of darkness has fallen over them. It’s amazing how one can be so specific, explicitly let all and sundry know what she’s planning, yet when the change comes, they are all caught unawares, surprised and unappreciative of the change. I have moved a number of steps, but it seems they are too small to be noticed. I finally cut my locks, seven years worth of hair growth and the drama of the shock has me amazed and I wanna borrow a lyric from India Irie and say ‘ I am not my hair !’ I want to scream it actually! Everyone sounds so traumatized. How do I explain that I am on the way and this is just a step in a new phase in the journey that is my life? That the affair with the locks has died a natural death? That this is truly mor

Reach For Diamonds

I didn’t know How to reach for diamonds All I had were bits of gold In the silver of my life I didn’t understand That for pearls to be pearls I had to wait patiently at the seashore I wanted diamonds more I just didn’t understand That for diamonds worthy of me I had to dig deeper, I had to wait longer For what I wanted was A diamond to illuminate A path worthy of me To cut through and make way Where there was only darkness And so I reached out, I dug deeper, oh so painful a process Because I wanted diamonds more By Renee’J
