About me

I am a poet, author, and former public educator.

Hi! I’m Josef Camacho.

 

 

Learning, writing, adventures, spending time with the people I love, and growth, are my favorite things in life. 

 

 

My goal is to help everyone I come into contact with shine a little brighter in whatever way bests serves them. I choose to do this through my interactions, writing, and by being my true self. 

 

 

I think the function of thought is more important than what we think, so here’s a few beliefs I’d like to share with you. 

 

 

We are whatever we think we are, so be what you want to be… 

And take action toward it. 

 

For example: I’m not an “aspiring” writer, poet, author. 

 

I AM these things already. 

I AM these because I take action toward this daily. 

Especially when it gets difficult. 

 

Life’s fun. The fun lies in difficulty. Do the hard things that serve you and the world around you. 

 

It’s YOUR life. Stay grateful. Stay happy. Stop waiting. 

No one is coming to save you. 

Save yourself. 

Make it happen. 

People like to help others who are trying to save themselves. 

 

 

I’d like to leave you with a poem I wrote about overcoming ourselves. 

 

 

Tomorrow may not come,

today’s surely here. 

 

Live in peace or

live in fear. 

 

Peace or anxiety

Blessing or curse

You get to choose

Which is better and worse.

 

The time is now

Make your choice

Today’s the perfect day

To find your voice.
