“No matter the amount of negativity you’re presented with, 5 minutes from now could be your best moment." -Mod Sun

If you aren't familiar with the artist Mod Sun, I urge you to get acquainted as soon as possible.

Mod Sun stands for "Movement on dreams, Stand under none." Mod is a musician, poet, rapper and to me, a teacher. His music is positive, uplifting and full of wisdom which resonates deeply with his audience. I've learned many life lessons through Mod's books, poems, lyrics, and even some tweets.

The biggest concept I've learned from Mod is the law of attraction. In his book "Did I Ever Wake Up?" he talks about the concept that what you think, you become. In it he says, "Walk outside and look up. The sky is endless and filled with possibility." So much of Mod's influence comes from the fact that he simply thinks positively--something that sometimes is hard to do. By thinking positively, however, positive things really do occur to us.

In one of Mod's songs called "1970" he says, "On a journey to unite the world and no one can slow me, impossible says 'I'm possible.'" Impossible says I'm possible. Though to some this could just be catchy writing, to me and many others it's a message. Anything that you're going through that seems unachievable is within your reach. This kind of motivation (or MODivation, as a weekly series he created is called) doesn't come easily to many, and Mod is taking charge and giving it to everyone--because he truly believes in it.

Mod Sun walks to the beat of his own drum. He is one of the most unique artists, writers and men I've ever come across. Of course, I've never met him personally, but part of his appeal is that he makes his fans (called the Friendbase--how uplifting is that?) feel as though they have. He has a seemingly constant presence on social media interacting with fans, showing sneak peeks of his work and creative process and sending out positive messages. Mod is one who truly brings others along with him on the journey of life.

To say that Mod Sun is wise seems to be an understatement to me. Even throughout this article, I don't feel as though I'm capturing his essence correctly--and I think he would life that, because it means he is his own unique person, indescribable and incomparable. I think the only way for someone to understand Mod Sun's work, mind or effect is to listen to his music, read his books or look at his art.

For me and countless others, Mod Sun has made an incredible, positive impact on the world. Thank you, my hippy.
