Music For The Moment 2015
Five years since I wrote my first post regarding music for the moment and I would have to say my music taste has greatly changed. Like I stated in my first post 5 years ago, music is the gateway to our souls, so listening to it and relating to it always makes us feel better. I personally have a lot of different types of music I listen to just because it's just one of those things I like. Yes I can express exactly how I feel through writing but if you have a song RIGHT this moment that can do that for you, why not play it?
Ask yourself this, " have I actually listened to the words to the music I like to hear?" Of course you haven't because it's really catchy but when you hear it enough you start to pick up on the words and start to understand it. At this very moment the music you are listening to you really like. I would have to say this summers music selection as been very good to me. Future definitely killed it with the release DS2 which has one of my favorite songs on it (Where Ya At). Fetty Wap has been dropping smash (679) after smash (My Way). Depending on your mood and your life situations you can definitely relate.If you trying to be in your feelings you definitely want to listen to some Drake (Hotline Bling) but also Mr Wes (Ride With Me). Definitely some smooth tunes if you are trying to Drake and Drive. If you don't know what Draking and Driving is, just listen to Mr Wes song and you will definitely feel it. Of course I had to throw in some Calvin Harris (How Deep is Your Love) just cause it really feels good.
I use spotify to listen to my music but here are some of my play lists that a lot of my friends like to listen to.
PreGame Mix (click here) - This is the play list that gets me turnt up all the time when I am on vacation or just hitting the gym.
Draking and Driving (click here) - When you are in the car alone and just want to be in your feelings. Trust me you will be in your feelings with this one.
Carnival/Caribana Lituation (click here) - This is a new play list I started just because you need to switch it up sometimes and start a carnival at your desk on Friday's at 4:30 in the afternoon.
No matter what life has to offer you just remember that music is always the greatest escape you can have. Embracing different types of genres and artists will allow you to grow outside of your box. Experience more from life and always have an escape.

#365DaysOfHappiness
Dear Happiness,
Thank you for the people in my life and the ability to see a new day. I never show enough appreciation for the people in my life but I try. I am happy because I am not the same person I was yesterday. Thank You.
Always Happy,
Kevin Pierre
So my non-profit (@levofoundation) has a social media campaign that we have been sharing with people called 365 Days of Happiness. The purpose is to help uplift people and give them a reason to be happy. I always say that you define your own happiness but with everything that is going on in the world, it makes you more depressed then happy. So our goal is to share that happiness that you have with other people.
Think about all the good that is happening in your life compared to the bad and just be thankful that it it isn't all bad. Even the little things should make you happy and move you forward. We tend to forget that every day is a new day to find something new to be happy about. If we allow sadness and depression to rule our lives, how will we ever accomplish anything? Sometimes we have to be able to share our own happiness with others so they can stay positive and keep pushing forward.
Wake up knowing that today is another day to be great, share your happiness, love as deeply as possible and be thankful for all the wonderful people in your life. Life is so unexpected its better to live it with a smile.
