This is for anyone that doesn’t know me personally. I make music for a living I’ve been making enough to support my family for a couple years now. Ive become so thankful these past few years. I actually enjoy what I do for money. Thats rare in itself for most people. This didn’t come easy by any means. I struggled greatly in my early life. I made a couple mistakes when I was 19 and it changed the direction of my life dearly. I had a criminal background & I still have the job applications that never gave me a chance. I was flagged and thrown in the trash. I also keep over 100 jobs that turned me down because of my background in my filing cabinets. This motivated me to keep pushing and focus on my music. I had to create music to live a decent life. All I could do for work was construction and get laid off every time the job was finished. I was not going to keep living that life. Im so happy and blessed to be where I am at. Support means so much more to me!
Focus
Stop the Distractions
These days we have so many distractions. The news, social media, movies, shows, etc. Once you understand this it’s pretty amazing how much you can actually achieve. The news is nothing but negativity. Im not saying that the issues aren’t important but if we were being honest we know the news doesn’t provide healthy dialogue. Thats achieved with your peers and family. The shows on tv are distracting you from your goals! I removed all streaming services a couple years ago and we are doing just fine. We are getting things done around the house. Such as making our own garden and improving the yard. We have more time to workout and stay in shape. We talk more with our kids and each other. The world is always going to be crazy and messed up. I prefer to focus on my goals and what I can control which is my own life. Once you focus on your goals and personal growth the world doesn’t seem so negative. Remember control what you can control! Thats your own life. Constantly worrying about stuff you see on the internet is toxic and just a plain waste of time! Have a blessed day!
Learn to let go
As I’ve grown in these last few years. I have changed how I look at things which includes business, friendships, relationships etc. One of the biggest things has been letting people go. I had some very close friends that I hardly speak to anymore. Im not angry or vengeful but sometimes it does bother me a little. The thing is after I let these people go I actually feel better than ever. Im lifting weights and eating right. I’ve quit drinking alcohol except for wine or a beer every once in a while. I had a few glasses of wine this past week. I hadn’t had any alcohol for almost 7 months prior to that. My discipline has gotten better. My business is growing and Im supporting my family. Bottom line is sometimes letting go of people actually is great for you spiritually. I enjoy my own company like I always have but now its like a superpower. When you can hangout by yourself that is a blessing. I know a lot of people who absolutely hate being alone but I enjoy it. So stay strong and invest in yourself. You are capable of great things when you give yourself the time! Have a blessed day!
