TO DREAM THE DREAM

"Back of every creation, supporting it like an arch, is faith. Enthusiasm is nothing; it comes and goes. But if one believes then miracles occur"
                                                 -     Henry Miller, writer/painter
"What you believe has more power than what you dream or wish or hope for. You become what you believe"
                                                 -     Oprah
"I meditate twice a day for half an hour. In meditation I can let go of everything. I'm not Hugh Jackman. I'm not a dad. I'm not a husband. I'm just dipping into that powerful source that creates everything. I take a little bath in it"
                                                 -     Hugh Jackman, actor

Dream. And BIG.......

I really get a buzz because you are all watching me grow into something I never even knew I was. And the reason is simple. Financially I am no better off than I was three years ago. No worse off either. Financially I am rock bottom still. Broke as. Lots of debt to family and friends. Emotionally it is a completely different story. I am stronger than I have ever been in my life. And emotionally will fix the financially every time. See, I haven't done anything particularly radical and I was given a helping hand by the hand of fate. The hand that gave me a bit of hardship. The hand that gave be a bit of pain and suffering. The hand that dealt me a cruel blow. The hand that made me change the WAY I THINK. The hand that made me ask questions about the way I was living my life. The hand that took my hand and has guided me forward ever since. The hand that helped me find ME.
See, the reason I get a buzz out of it is because when you are having a tough time like I was and still am, I want you to think about MY LIFE, and then smile when you look at yours. I want you to KNOW that there is life, and a more fulfilling one after hardship. There is a life after tragedy. A life away from the devastation. Like me you will learn and you will LIVE............ like ME!

If you can't STEP.... then ROW!

And you can DREAM THE DREAM. It's not just OhK to DREAM. It is your destiny to DREAM. It will be your guiding star. You can SEE the star. It is a little speck of LIGHT in the sky. That little speck of light is in fact sometimes millions of light years away and sometimes  thousands times bigger than our planet Earth. Your DREAM is THAT LIGHT. It is as real as your own body. It is your VISION OF HAPPINESS and you deserve to have that dream in your life. If you can SEE that light you can reach it. Like me you just have to keep STEPPING forward without looking backwards. The light will get bigger and the reality of your dream will get closer. Your DREAM is your DESTIN-EE. Without that dream you have no star to guide you to happiness and away from heartbreak, tragic loss, and devastation. So DREAM and DREAM BIG. Make it that big that it distracts you away from the stuff that hurts. Watch me.......

Just look into your LIFE......

Mister SomeOne Out-There is in you. Call him out of you and accept his gifts. There is nothing radical in doing that. I needed 'SomeOne Out-There' when I had my fall. I needed 'SomeOne Out-There' to show me how to get out of the mess, not tell me a story about how they had problems years ago before the big comeback. Now you have a REAL working model. I am doing stuff I NEVER DREAMED I could do, like talking to you now on BLOG thingie. Soon I will receive mass exposure with my songs. The songs are simply STEPS toward that little speck of light. STEPS toward my DREAM TO DREAM. No there is nothing radical at all. Every single one of you can do it. Maybe not write or perform songs. Only YOU KNOW what you are capable of. You just need someone to guide you through all the hurt, the loss, the tears. And like they say in those quotes above, all you need is FAITH. All you need is to BELIEVE in YOU and your DREAM. It's a tough gig but as Steve Jobs would say:

                        THE JOURNEY IS THE REWARD.........

So may as well get started, huh?
