Effect Situations.

Live to EFFECT your situations

Dont let situations EFFECT you.

For over two years I have had this quote as a saying to live by and can say that the theory can transform someones life from one that is at the mercy of situations into one that directs the situations.

Most people are at the mercy of their job, financial situations, family and friends and typically feel that most of their day is planned out and dictated by everyone else. Dreams seem to always be just out of reach and people look forward to saturday night and the three day weekends. We seem to let our situations steer our life and often wonder why other people seem to pass us by and complete their goals.

The difference is in the decisions people make and not the situations that surround them:

As Coco Chanel grew up in a poor family and loosing her parents at a young age she was thought to be the last one to dress in high fashion let alone design it. Walt Disney was beat on a regular basis by his father and went on to be the most succesful person in creating family entertainment. B.B King was raised on plantations in a broken home having to deal with his mother dying at a young age. He was brought up in a time where whites and blacks were segragated and he bought his first guitar for $2.50. He has now recorded over 50 albums and whites and blacks both enjoy his music.

Each of their situations if left to effect them would have left Coco Chanel in poverty her entire life, Walt Disney would have had a troubling family himself and ran from wholesome family values, and B.B. King would have died already from a hard labored life on farms.

Jason and I began talking about these people and this subject months ago while working on a project together. Through his dream of using his art to create a line of shirts, and my dream of printing a worthwhile line of shirts, we created the idea of Effect.

Effect is evolving and this is the very beginning. Effect is starting as an artistic line of shirts that both of us will enjoy building. Effect shirts is our way of effecting our own situations.

The future goal of Effect is to ues a portion of our line to effect others. We both are pushing for this line to open doors for people to be helped. Its a small start, but a start none the less.
