As I stood on the stage and the spotlight shining in my eyes. The only thing that saved me from freezing up on stage was the light blinding my eyes and I could not see anyone. Slowly I let out the first note and then another. As I could hear my heart pounding so hard, the volume of my own voice became louder and louder so I my singing could drown out my own heart beating.
Can you remember the time you got on that scary roller coaster and as it slowly went up that first big hill. You could hear the creaking of the boards as each car inched up the hill and all I could think is "What was I thinking"?.
What if the safety bar came loose as we went over the hill?
What if I would be sent flying to the ground.?
Well, I did'nt and all of a sudden I wanted to go again and again.
This time in the front row! This time time I would keep my eyes open. The cool thing about sitting in the front row is by the time the long row of cars is up over the hill, the front car is half way down the track of the hill and then you shoot across the next hill and the next.
The fear of roller coasters.
Done!
Over! What was the big deal?
The unknown.
How many times have you thought of this amazingly brilliant idea that as you thought about doing it, it becomes larger than anything you ever tried and all of a sudden you sit back down.
You start to worry what if I can't do this or how will I survive?
How will I be able to support myself and get the big mansion and the car, clothes etc....
The list goes on. The dream becomes bigger than life and then all we can think is OK, I will win the lottery. I will just win the lottery...
Some people do win the lottery,
Some people do become doctors, lawyers and some become stars.
If your wants are not that big. Why not? Why cant you have it all? Why cant you get the mansion and the yacht?
Simple, so many of us shoot our dreams away before we even get up off the chair.
Ponder time... Lets listen to...
All of my life, I have searched for the answers.
I have searched for my purpose. I have always heard this voice in my head saying, "You were meant for something bigger""For something better".
I have always hung on to that.
If there is something you love doing more than anything. It is simple you do it.
If there is something you picture yourself doing all the time in your dreams than do it.
All thru life we always ask "What is my purpose"
Stop dwelling on the questions. Ask for the answers. Believe!!!
It is the strongest advice I can ever give anyone. Believe!!
I know that stories you hear and the movies that you see paint a happy ending or sometimes not. I care about each and everyone that reads my words and that gets a moment of change. I am hopeful I can at least get a smile from you guys.
I am always looking for other ways, other life goals, other creative inspirations. Be it writing, filming, managing talent so big, it makes you want more. As soon as one goal is reached, I want another. If you stay busy, you will not have the time to be sad. You will not have the time to worry!
The pity bus left my street a long time ago. Sometimes it tries to turn back down my street but I just wave it good bye.
You have to try.!
My goal is for everyone I know to become huge, become successful and become happy. My reason is simple. Then we can all just have a great and wonderful time together. Who doesn't love a great party?
Do not look at a failure as s slam against you. Do not get on that self pity bus. Once you get on it is hard as hell to get off because that bus never stops and it is dark and quiet. Tell the driver to STOP! It is time to get off.
You have to make the decision right now.
Stop and be happy!
We are alive.
We breathe!.
We are who we are. From where I am looking, I see the beauty, the moments of light and the sparks.
Why do I see that? Because I ask to see it. You have to direct your own life. It starts with "Yes".
Ok Lifers!!
I promise the next blog to be about a huge talent I admire.
Someone that inspires me every day.
As always I leave with a song. Its my thing.... Cheers!!!! I love myself and I love you....
