Work!

Mon, 24 Dec 2012 19:23:53 +0100

I've challenged myself over the next few weeks to completely transform into the artist that I want to be physically, mentally, and artistically. I'm going to being spend a lot more hours in the gym and focus on healthy living and eating. I'm also going to challenge myself to step out of the box even further with my music and become more transparent.

I know that I am capable of achieving great success in music, and it's going to take even more work from me to prove it. I get frustrated when I feel challenged, but I'm going to work to meet this challenge head on. I can socialize when I'm done, but for now...work!

Tired of waiting, but I will!

I'm trying to be patient, and not become too anxious to get my music out. Though It's very hard for a true artist to feel content without being heard. These are my songs, my voice, and I want to be heard!

There seems to continue to be bumps along the way, which in life are expected. The bumps are the hard parts, because it tends to cause confusion and make things uncertain. Circumstances continue to rise up that cause me to go into a bit of a shell. I hate to say that I'm a frustrated musician, but I have been lately. I've been feeling a bit downcast in regards to my music. As much as I try to be a positive person, I have my moments of sadness. Most of it comes from not knowing what exactly is going to happen with my music. I have faith in myself as a songwriter/artist, but it's not something I can do alone. I want the right people around me, with my best interest at heart.

This may be selfish, but I'm not concerned about any other artist. Their music belongs to them, and my music belongs to me. I simply want to share it with the world, and do what I love. That doesn't mean I don't care about other artists, but I have to focus on being the best artist I can be.

There is no way that I was given this gift to not use it, and I'm trying to use it! I have this whole summer off, and if I could be in the studio every day, I would! It's very hard for me to rely on other people, but it's something I have to learn to do in this industry. I can't do it all, but I have to do my part well.

I do know this...I don't want to go another full year without these songs being done! I'm tired of waiting, but because I love music...I will!

Working Towards Your Destiny

Fri, 22 Jun 2012 21:36:13 +0100

I don't remember a day when I haven't dreamed of something. Not the bedtime dreams that you have when you fall asleep at night, but dreams of who I can become. I want to experience life on a different level, and be able to be a blessing to the world. I imagine myself doing what God has purposed me to do. I am a writer, and it's a gift that is being perfected daily. When someone is given a gift, they open it up and depending on what it is, they may use it or give it away to someone else. I've opened up my gift, and I'm using it. It's not for anyone else to have.

How awesome would it be to have all your dreams come true in an instant? I could just imagine the feeling, but it's not reality. I know that I have to do my part in this. I have to put in work towards my destiny. That means sitting at home writing songs, and recording them on my computer. It means going to the studio as much as I can, and being diligent in making sure that it happens. It means going to the gym, and saying no to a juicy hamburger so that I can be in shape to endure long performance hours. It means staying focused, and not being the party goer that your friends may want you to be! It means believing in yourself when no one else does. It means saying, "Yes I can, " when someone else says, "No, you can't!"

So, what are you doing to work towards your destiny? Are you really doing all you can? I hope to encourage you to go after your dreams. You can't just sit there and expect a change in your life. That may be ideal for you, but while others are reaching their destiny, you'll still be sitting there! Work towards your destiny!
