until someone is paying for it
to fly :) it gets expensive
so for this show.
i put it on the truck going ahead of me.
which meant i had to send it today.
TWO WHOLE DAYS
without it.
what am I going to do?
i almost teared up a bit.
as i loaded it in.
haha
along with my galashes.
hey.
never know when i'll need those green boots.
anywho someone at work asked
"you can't go two whole days without it? wow you must be good"
good.
would we say good?
dedicated yes.
i think i have a lot of talents.
but i work HARD at the guitar
to be ...OK.
it's what i am. ha
i think singing is my strength of the two :)
anyways i said
"well i LOVE to play so I guess that means more than good?"
and she agreed
then i thought of that statement
i love that statement
i love it
i'm not the best player
not a perfect player by any means
my guitar makes a lot of plunking noises.
but i never let it stop me
because i love it so much.
but i love it.
love it more than i would say most people
yeah i said it
bring it
i need it.
but i do think how strong is love?
loving to do something?
having a passion for something?
it outweighs being talented.
truly.
i think sometimes i hide behind what i'm talented at
because i know i'll succeed
i was talking to mandy yesterday
and she was saying how she just really really wants to work with animals.
and that passion for it.
gives me NO DOUBT she will.
maybe it'll be her career
maybe it'll be her hobby
but i know 100%
that that passion is a gift.
i don't have that passion for animals.
she does.
i don't have the passion for gardening.
janel does.
my passion for music.
makes me sick.
so what are you going to do with it?
so what you are better at something else?
what are you going to do with what you're passionate over.
watch this.

i'll see you in two days

ReplyDeletei love this! i've gotten in the habit of listening to motivational podcasts in the morning b/c my commute is so long and today's was talking about how the scoreboard doesn't always reflect how the best team won. I think thats the same w/ the music industry. I love raw talents and more than that I love people with a drive. I don't care what it is, just have something that fuels you. And you my dear friend, have plenty of that, and THAT is what gets you places.
