Sacrificial Sunday

How far will you go to get what you want? Are you willing to risk your life for it? I can't imagine my life without being me. And being me is being truthful to myself. It is doing and striving to obtain what I want. A backup plan, option b, safety net, etc. that's not me. I am not a defective version of myself. I am me. I am the one who made sure that I would never settle for anything less than being a musician. I am the one that burned the bridge to safety and certainty land a long time ago. I am the seed that was planted in my brain at the age of 10, the seed that grew into a forest so thick, it can not be penetrated by any negativity and doubt coming from peers.

There is a reason why the one thing you bleed for is on top of the mountain. It is because you have to earn it. Life doesn't do you favors if you don't deserve it. The dream is on top of this mountain. And there is an abundance waiting for any one who wants it, they just have to reach it. The climb can be as easy as you make it out to be. If it is what you have your mind set on, then it feels effortless because you are driven. But for those that don't obtain it, they spread the rumors that it is hard and that the mountain is unclimbable just because they found it easier to quit and settle with certainty. They didn't reach the top of the mountain so how could they possibly know what the whole journey is like?

When you quit, do you know what happens? You take this one life you were given and convince yourself that you would rather avoid pain than fight for pleasure. You go through the rest of your life without the one thing you really wanted, without your dream. You stopped taking risks, and without risks, there are no rewards. Safety, certainty, comfort zones are not rewards. They will never bring you what you truly wanted when you still had the guts to dream. Your life should not be observing and envying those that obtained your dream. Sacrifice your comfort, your self pity, your laziness, and your short term pleasures. Fight for your dream. My God fight for your dream before your fields run dry and you become an "un-wakable".
