Reminder

Never look at someone that you idolize and say, "I hate them so much! I want what they have." For instance, I hate Martha Stewart because she's an amazing cook and home decorator. I, on the other hand, like to follow the instructions on the box and as long as things are tidy and the colors don't make my retinas bleed then it's a good day. We all say it and I will be the first to announce that I do it about every single day whether it's about cooking, being able to build a house, or doing amazing tricks with a yo-yo without causing bodily harm to your body. But let me propose an idea so preposterous that you might gasp in awe and refuse to read the rest of this entry. If you really want to be able to do what ever it is that person is doing say, "I want that, and I'm going to have that. Let's start now." Some people do this naturally, but for the rest of the human population we go, "Eh, maybe some other time." I heard a song on the radio today that I absolutely fell in love with. I would not be able to tell you the title because I was to busy singing the words I never knew to it, and it showed. I thought to myself, "How awesome. The passion behind the guitar and the nice smooth lyrics is amazing." So instead of saying, "Gosh I wish I could play like that.", I know a lot of quotation right, I went upstairs and picked up my guitar and attempted to figure it out.

Find what it is you want, pursue it, never give up, never look down, push when there is nothing left, don't let pointless things get in the way of what you want, and do it with a smile.

It's easier to say then do. I fight it everyday, but everyday I get closer to obtaining a constant rhythm in my life of what I want to be.
