Never underestimate the power of small changes. You have to do lots of little things in order to achieve a big goal. If you want to run a mile you have to take the first step. If you want to run a marathon you have to run the first mile. If you are going to achieve big you have to start small. If you only focus on making the big changes you might be deterred from starting initially. You want to glow big you got to start with a spark!
Decide what positive step you can take right now that moves you in the direction you want to go. No matter how small the act it is a step in the right direction. Acknowledge every small thing you do. This will drive you forward and help you to make more changes and glow brighter. If you are finding it hard to get out of bed, sit up. If you are finding it hard to go outside get dressed. If you are finding it hard to make friends, take up an activity.
What small change are you going to make today that moves you in the direction you want to go?

www.glowpunk.com Change The Truth
Change The Truth
www.glowpunk.com
Every day is different from the last and today is going to be different too. If you try to remain the same or do not remain flexible you will fail to glow at your brightest. You will remain stationary while the whole universe around you changes. Embrace change. Expect change. Instigate change. After all, change is the only constant. Initially it will be difficult, but like all things with practice it can become second nature. With a little bit of practice you can be a glower.
Why do people have any fixed views? It seems obvious that we are only working on information compiled by those before us. There is no right and wrong. Only what society over time has decided works best for society. There are no Absolutes. There is no real 'Truth.' There are only belief systems that are based on little more than the belief systems of generations of sheepish followers and yes men.
So decide what you believe in and create your own truth. What are you going to change today? Remember you may die soon so you may not have much time.

www.glowpunk.com Nothing happens in Isolation
http://www.glowpunk.com/
‘Everything leads to something’
Nothing happens in isolation. Not a single action or inaction. A thought even leads to something. A lack of thought too leads to something.
Accept that you are always advancing even if you feel like you are in a rut. Just knowing that you are accomplishing something all the time will allow you to glow a little more. It will help you see your circumstances in a more positive light.
Remember that every time you succeed or fail there is a lesson to be learned and something to be gained. Glowers see lessons all around them. At random times throughout the day try and see lessons in the world around you.

Give life your all!
My athletics coach once told me “Unless you are physically incapacitated when you cross the finish line of a cross cou ntry race, you had more to give, and you should have given it.” From that moment on after every race I would collapse in complete and utter exhaustion. My gums would be stinging at the base of my teeth, because every ounce of blood and oxygen had been utilized by my body to drive the muscles needed to propel me forward faster than my competitors.
I would collapse on the ground unable to open my eyes and wait for a few minutes until I could finally find the energy to separate my eyelids and face the horrific prospect of sitting up.
Those insightful words from Mr. Steven Holt (A Legend of a Man) allowed me to reach my full potential on race day. What words would you tell yourself to reach your full potential in life?

www.glowpunk.com 7 Rules for Train Surfing
http://www.glowpunk.com/
Rules for Train Surfing
1. Pick your boarding location.
Find a place where you can jump on easily and where security is at a minimum. Trains tend to move slower through built up areas and when going down or up steep hills.
2. Reconnaissance.
It is a good idea to go out to your planned boarding point in advance and get a good feel for what you will have to do to board safely and without being caught.
3. Be Prepared.
Always carry enough water and food to keep you hydrated and energized. It is not uncommon for trains to cross vast areas where there is no resources should you have to dismount for any reason. (You may get stuck on a train longer than you planned.)
4. Dress Appropriately
In a warm climate: Always bring enough clothing to cover every inch of your body and protect against sunburn. (You may get stuck on a train longer than you planned.)
In a warm and cold climate: Ensure you bring enough clothing to keep you warm in both the day and night. Hypothermia can be a real risk if you have to stay on longer than anticipated. Also remember to wear clothing that is not prone to snagging or impeding your movement.
5. Security/Weapon
When you are boarding the train keep an eye out for other train surfers. It is not unreasonable to be prepared for more hardened less whimsical characters than yourself. Many train surfers/drifters/hobos use the trains as a method of transport because they have no other means of transport. They may be welcoming or unwelcoming depending on the individual. Either way it is best to plan for the worst and hope for the best. A weapon/attacker deterrent and an escape route are not being too careful. Ensure that you are aware of where you are in relation to other train surfers at all times.
6. Legalities
Remember that what you are doing is illegal in 99.999% of the world. So try and be fit and agile so you can run like a gazelle for a long period of time should you have the need. Some security forces can be brutal.
7. Have Fun.
Wind in your hair, adrenaline pumping, adventure and risk and generally a different view of the world around you. Enjoy it!

www.glowpunk.com Selling your ass
http://www.glowpunk.com/
Why put a ceiling on your potential or your income. Why be a slave to the corporate machine? You study all your life and then you settle for a job that pays you to live a life of mediocrity until you are two old and too conditioned to change to see that your spirit has been crushed. Be your own boss asap! Glow a little!
The worst that can happen is that you will fail dramatically, loose everything you own, and end up living on the streets selling your ass for your next fix of crack. It is eithertake a chance and possibly succeed or you continue to sell your ass to your boss like a corporate whore.
You’ll be dead soon! Cease the day. ha ha!

www.glowpunk.com Life is not about the Struggle
www.glowpunk.com
Life isn’t about the struggle.
Human beings are built to struggle. Many say we are made up of two parts, the body and the mind. There is nearly always conflict between the two. Our bodies may be old but we feel young. We may physically desire the affections and attentions of another, but our minds may guide us away from that person for various reasons. These two simple examples illustrate to us that even on at our most basic level of existence we are struggling. As individuals we struggle with ourselves.
Then we get up in the morning and the first person we meet has ideas and plans of their own that are completely dissimilar to our own. So now, not only are we struggling with ourselves but we have to factor in the desires of others and acknowledge their struggles and problems.
Then to confuse it all many of us have been brought up within a religious context. Even those who call themselves agnostics and atheists have chosen a belief (or lack of) system to further complicate their struggle.
So my fellow glowers, you are at war with your own bodies, the people around you and an invisible force that created you (or you are clueless to why you are here which is a tough position to be in too). So what can you do? Surely there must be something you can do to make life easier. Well my fellow glowers, my advice would be...... accept it, and move on. Essentially 'Get Over It!' The struggle will always exist, but you can choose how much importance to give it. Life isn’t about the struggle. It is about everything but the struggle.
