- Does Hard Work Really Pay Off?
Anyone who is serious about physical training will know that it is only through perseverance that the proper result can be achieved. On the job, when faced with a difficult assignment, a sense of stick to it will result in a favorable outcome. Any undertaking longs for a positive outcome. There are those who look for quick short routes to achieve their financial goals only to ruin their lives and do things that their parents or loved ones would never have dreamed. After getting involved in such things, heartache results. Only hard work leads to a bright future. Work can be or should be rewarded. No matter what satisfaction comes when we look back and see how we overcame. Hard work enables us to project to the future. Not all goals come about quickly, only when we decide to do our best to succeed these goals will be materialized. When wearing one of these shirts with the message Hard Work Pays Off, a positive feeling come to both wearer and those who see and read. There is a sense of empowerment when wearing the shirt and facing a difficult task. One is encouraged to keep on trying, keep on thinking in and out of the box until a positive outcome results. Hard Work really pays off in the end. #fitness #work #life #success #blogger #journey #mind #body #soul
- Socially Acceptable?
Why so much pressure!!!!!! Don't you know life is already hard enough living in this flesh. Don't you know the feelings inside are real. Do you even care. ---- These are some of the common thoughts people go through on a daily basis. It is time we pay attention to each others needs. In order for America to be great, we as individuals need to realize there is greatness. Greatness is brewing in each and everyone of us. Question is, will you allow it to break through or will you continue to live in a socially acceptable environment! We are all survivors! What are you surviving from? #peace #freedom #mind #body #soul #believe #motivation #survive #blogger #journey #truth #inspirational
- ReBuilding
The process of life is a journey of many ups and downs; rights and lefts; yes and no. On this journey we will find ourselves in places where we never thought we would be. Sometimes our experiences are created in the mind through unusual experiences and situations we may find ourselves in, as a result of the choices we make. Whether grand or poor, we must live with these choices and the results that they yield. On the other hand, we may find ourselves in situations that simply come upon us, seemingly by a way in which we cannot even begin to explain how we ended up in that certain situation. It could be a situation having to do with the crumbling of something that you have built, such as a business. Or maybe the decline in your health in some way, shape or form. Through these experiences we will fall and feel as thought tomorrow will be just as cloudy as the length of time it took for the commodity to become destroyed. Nonetheless, we strive and work to find a way through "it;" Whatever "it" may be. The age old quote, "Fall down 7 times, get up 8," is not only a perfectly fitting quote for this particular design of t-shirt, but it is absolutely necessary to remember when life knocks you off of your feet, leaving you bloody broken and bruised. When life takes your business, or your health or your dreams and seems to shatter them right in front of you. In these moments are when we must remain at our strongest. In our weakest moments are when we must remember who we are and that we are at a point of growth. A perfect time to ReBuild and refocus. Never give up. #peace #blogger #truth #journey #mind #body #motivation #inspirational #soul #believe #life #friendship #family

- THE GRASS IS GREENER RIGHT HERE
We live in a world in which we are told what is accepted or “cool.” With all of the exposure to the highlights of other people’s lives through social media, the internet, and television we are constantly being pulled in directions that are not of our own choosing. We see a person with all of our deepest desires and watch people being revered and labeled as “celebrities” and “stars-” So many people try to “be like that.” We see our neighbor’s grass cut perfectly, with every blade length the same as the last, so we perceive it as perfect and work to make ours “look like that.” All we really have in life is perception and choice. Your neighbor’s lawn looked perfect until you chose to touch it. In that moment you realized that, unlike yours, it was actually artificial. There is no need to water that grass- it cannot grow. Sometimes in life the grass is greener on the other side because it is fake. The grass is greener right here. The grass is greener wherever you choose to water it. #freedom #truth #journey #education #newyork #body #shirts #mind #virginia #blogger #soul #shopping #life #hoboken #awareness #story #history #btdllc #jersey #family #media #clothing #brand #motivation #social #inspirational #shopsmall #promoters #sales
- Prayer Works - A bloggers Perspective
When I was first starting out on Instagram, I saw a photograph of a person wearing a t-shirt that said “Prayer Works”. I happen to know from experience that prayer does work, and so I responded something along the lines of Amen, or Yes It Does! And then I heard back from the creator of the t-shirt, and we arranged to meet so that I could post about her wonderful work in my blog. For those people who know me and have read my blog, I write about wonderful people and places and things – a lifestyle blog, but one that focuses on having an abundant life in whatever form that abundance arrives. I write about thrift stores and events, art and artists, small businesses, designers, fashion, food and life. If it brings abundance, if it is encouraging and uplifting, I’ll write about it, and someone making t-shirts that say Prayer Works is definitely someone I want to write about. If you’re reading this blog, chances are you know that Be The Difference Clothing, or BTDLLC, makes t-shirts and socks and onesies for the little ones that have inspirational and uplifting, encouraging sayings on them. I’d be attracted to the sayings all by themselves, but there is an artistry behind the creation of the clothing that goes much deeper than a happy quote. The designs are made to help us think and feel the impact of the words written on them, and to help encourage us to have the courage to believe that we can make a difference in our own lives, with others, and in the world. Prayer Works is not just a nice thing to say – Prayer really does work, and by praying we become a part of a greater work in the world. The act of praying is an act of intercession – we are actively taking part in the situation we are praying about. Scripture tells us that when we don’t know what to pray, the Holy Spirit helps us (Romans 8:26). The seemingly simple act of praying, or of trying to pray, calls on the most powerful force in existence to help us pray and have an impact on the situation we are praying about. Prayer does not have to be done in any particular form. Just thinking about a person or a situation and asking for guidance or wisdom or the ability to do those things we may feel we cannot – to forgive, to love, to not be afraid, to find peace in a storm – that is a prayer. Instead of calling everyone we know to ask for advice, or suffering sleepless nights and anxiety – things I used to do before I was born again – we can pray, and be still, and in that stillness find the answer sometimes or sometimes just the next step, or sometimes just the ability to trust and wait and know that though things may be confusing or frightening or hitting every trigger we have, we can find peace and rest and the strength to let go and let God.

- HARD WORK PAYS OFF
I've barely had a chance to consume this world and it’s intricacies I've barely had a chance to breathe But I woke up today. Ready to work hard for another day. Only you truly know how much it took to reach this day. The amount of hours you put toward honing your craft, the stress and late nights and early mornings. All of the times that you questioned whether or not it was worth it to undertake the struggle and keep fighting- yet you kept pushing through, with faith that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak. Well, you made it- here. YOU are the difference. The fact that you are here today and able to read this post proves to you, even further, how your hard work has paid off. All of that hard work led you to this point in life. The design of this t-shirt was inspired by all of the brilliant and hardworking people we have met through our journey throughout life and in building this company.

You showed yourself that you are as great as we feel you are- all of this to get you to the point in which you firmly stand today. Only you know what it took and what it takes. So be proud and show the world that hard work pays off every time.

- LOVE DAD
The father figure, or more affectionately known as dad, is as rare as it is necessary to our existence; composing one half of our genetic makeup. Whether male or female, the relationship one has with their respective dad plays a large part of which we eventually come to be. A dad is the model of a man for his daughter(s), and she will choose a man who is like him. A dad is a model for his son(s) as well. The son strives to be similar to his dad. Dad helps when times get rough and when times are wonderful, providing a permanent shoulder to lean on. There is a trend for dads to be more active in their children’s lives and the inspiration of this shirt stems from that. To express the love and appreciation for your dad whom you love so dearly- Be The Difference. #inspirational #life #truth #love #body #brand #story #motivation #blogger #mind #btdllc #social #jersey #newyork #awareness #journey
- One Thing Remains ...
Have you ever thought about breaking off a long term friendship or romantic relationship? Of course you have! It has crossed every human beings mind. Each and every one of us has been a victim or victimized a relationship. Before you drop another person, consider some of the thoughts below: 1. Have I considered all of the good this person(s) have done in my life? 2. Do I feel guilty? 3. Have I really tried to resolve the issue(s)? 4. Am I practicing patience? 5. How will my actions affect the people around me? ******HITTING ANY NERVES YET???***** Look ... the list can go on and on and on ... When will we all stop the cycle of hurt? Is it possible for any of us to apologize (especially if they may not be your favorite person(s)), to admit or even be the first to take a huge chunk of humble pie? Challenge yourself, for the next month, to be completely honest (in a respectful/tactful way) in good or difficult situations. If you have done wrong, make it right. As long as there is air and blood pumping through the body, anything can be made new. #life #truth #body #trust #btdllc #mind #awareness #journey #love #friendship #believe #inspirational #freedom
- VENDOR LIFE
Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes? Well, here is a first look. (Just a little taste) THE SET UP For example, an event can be opened to the public at 11am. Guess what, vendors are usually at the venue 3-4 hours earlier. Some booth spots are first come first serve, while others are reserved. Even if a booth is reserved, a vendor must consider getting to the venue early just in case they might want to switch spots (to get optimal customer traffic) or be unknowingly switched due to a fellow vendor complaint to the promoter (who would rather switch than argue) or lack of physical help to off-load their merchandise. Some vendors need 2 hours to set up, while others need 1 hour. But WAIT just when you think your booth is great here comes a fellow vendor selling similar merchandise and the promoter puts you 1-2 booths away. Well, thank you event planner(s), the selling opportunity has been cut in half. THE NIGHTMARE So, a vendor may decide to book an event based on a special holiday, a desire to support a cause, did research and everything meets their requirements, or would like to try a new area or town. Everything seems right but wait the promoter forgets to advertise. A seasoned vendor knows if potential constomers do not show by a certain hour..... IT'S A BUST! Some vendors will request a refund while others chuck it up to being a bad day. THE PROMOTER The promoter can either make or break a vendors day. Some are honest and open about the possibility of sales. Others just want to make money. Beware of the fast talking promoter. The one who talks about where they promoted, how much was spent to promote, loves your product BUT falls short and doesn't buy. So short that no potential customers show up, the area has no signage, will not buy your product (which really means they could care less about you and more about using your rent to pay their bills). THE CUSTOMER A vendor depends on a customer for a few reasons: 1. To help offset the cost of the table 2. To communicate why/how their product is worthy of their purchase 3. Just feels good knowing that someone loves your craft 4. Continue creating whatever it is they provide Here is a perfect example of how a beautiful day can turn into a long and dragged out. 1. The person who looks you in the face and ignores even with a simple hello 2. The person who walks by as if you're harassing them (well you did come to a craft fair, festival or market right?) 3. The person who raves about how great your product is but still does not buy 4. Sorry I do not have money. (Again, you did come to a craft fair, festival or market right?) OVERALL The vendor life is exciting, fun and adventurous. You meet and make great friends. Like anything, it is a full time business for some, hobby for others and even a second job for those who want to transition into entrepreneurship. If you are a customer, continue to support vendors. If you're a vendor or wanting to become one, know it is hard work, takes time to grow and you should not give up if things do not go your way. #mind #btdllc #social #brand #clothing #media #journalism #vendor #events #sales #shopping #shopsmall #markets #tees #promoters #craftfair #festival #vendors #trust #awareness #story #jersey #hoboken #newyork #friendship #believe #journey #business #owner #entrepreneur #life
- LOVE - According to who?
Just a few thoughts ... Often times we all overuse the word love. Here is what Wikipedia says: Love is a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection ("I love my mother") to pleasure ("I loved that meal"). It can refer to an emotion of a strong attraction and personal attachment. [1] It can also be a virtue representing human kindness, compassion, and affection—"the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another". [2] It may also describe compassionate and affectionate actions towards other humans, one's self or animals. [3] Here is what we believe: The t-shirt above was designed with love in mind. The color purple represents royalty. The number of leaves equals seven which represents completion/perfection. The leaves represent individuals who are royal in your life. If we can keep the thought of Love being something so scared as ROYALTY... pretty sure words would be chosen more wisely. Consider what love means to you... #btdllc #social #awareness #tees #brand #clothing #media #baby #family #friendship #love #journalism #trust #newyork #jersey #hoboken #fitness #motivation #believe #soul #mind #body
