Milestones

I love the sense of progress that passing a milestone makes you feel. 2008 will definitely go down as a milestone year in my life. After going through so many battles in LA I am finally doing what I came hear to do...music! I spent such a long time getting on my feet and building relationships that there was often a question of when I was gonna stop "getting ready" and actually start working. I think so many people stay stay still waiting on the perfect time to come to them and are suprised when a year later they haven't experienced any growth. I am a firm believer that growth doesn't occur until you are confronted with new obstacles and elements which will only happen outside of your "comfort zone". We all have friends who want more but haven't or may never see it because they are afraid to take what many refer to as a "leap of faith". The irony is that surviving that leap depends on your faith in yourself, so in not taking it you show no faith that you CAN accomplish your dreams. We all battle with fear...fear is what makes you double check everything so you don't make a dumb move. I embrace fear, hardships, risk, and a lot of things that most people cower from. Each time I conquer an obstacle it marks a personal milestone that I celebrate passing. I believe in doing what other's won't do today so I can do what other's can't do tomorrow. There are so many doors opening up for myself and the people around me that I felt the need to reflect on how important milestone's are. I hope everyone continue's to push themselves to achieve the dreams, just don't feel bad about turning around and taking a look at what you built. That's what makes it worthwhile...God Bless
