  • “You want fame? Well fame costs.”

    Anyone else remember this intro?

    Just me, then? Ok…

    *cries young-old-lady tears*

    Screw fame. I want freedom. The kind that comes from personal liberation. I want the dreams that burn inside my soul to become reality.

    Today’s theme is perseverance. Play this in the background if you want:

    It’s as though something divine is pushing me forward, asking me to ask more of myself.

    Little changes are slipping into my routine. I’ve recently started waking up to jog while it’s still dark. I get a workout, and I’m done before the rest of my day begins.

    Ultimately, I feel like God is setting things up for me in a way that says, “If you want X, you’d better be prepared to Y.” That is, if “Y” equals “work my ass off”.

    Still, the old demons are doing their thing. Fear and disorganization can be ruthless.

    And yet everything is telling me to make way for the life that I want. All I need is the discipline to tear down the wall to get to the other side.

    See that girl in the above photo? The last lady on the right, closest to the edge of the shot?

    That’s my cousin, Megan.

    She was born when I was in high school. Now she’s dancing with the Toronto Raptors Dance Pak.

    And even though technically I’m still “young”, I’ll be damned if I didn’t tell the truth and say that I feel just a little bit old.

    But this is no pity party, folks. This is a call to stay inspired. You never know how far your dreams will take you.
