Times Ticking
This piece is particularly for the men out there who have dreams and passions but are stuck in the rat race and the false ideology that time is endless and guaranteed. You cannot continue to have a dream work a full time job, be a parent, a lover and then place whatever little windingly energy into your dream. Don’t be that person at your 9 to 5 job that is always talking about that book you’re going to write, that screen play you’re going to write or that hit record your going to record, that movie you’re going to make or act in, that business you’re going to open. You can let that measly, going nowhere job, rob you of those precious once in a life time hours.
Once those eight hours go their gone forever, we can never get them back. Am I saying to quit your job, not at all. This rant is for those with real legitimate talent, who has had success before, that believes in oneself, to continue chasing his dream but just can’t get to grasp it because of time, money or relationships, kids and work. If you believe in your self you must accompany it with chance, our everyday existence is by chance. You can die in your sleep, go for a walk and get hit by a stray bullet, well if you’re in Orlando night scene, that might happen, but the point is stop blaming everything else in your life for why you’re not who, or what you want to become.
You have to take a risk on your dream. How can you ask or expect people to be onboard if you’re scared to quit and walk out on your job to follow and commit to your dream, if you don’t believe in yourself one hundred percent , they won’t either. You cannot continue to be that cancer of an employee, coming into to work always saying how much you hate this job and how much this job is robbing you of doing what is going to make you happy but yet continue to punch that clock and get that convenient paycheck that gives you no more than 10 days of “peace of mine” just enough funds to eat, pay rent and or pay a mortgage.
You are living a lie, fear has crippled you, and your circle of friends, family even your own girlfriend/significant other is your biggest silent killer. All that drama, all that negative resistance you receive or inherit when you want to do something to make your dream happen will come from people who is closet to you. You know what I mean there’s let’s say there is a lucrative local music event and lots of producers are going to be there and you know that this may be the golden opportunity for you and you really want to go, then your significant other/your closet friends start to place doubt, a “shadow of a doubt you’re your ears, they are like a wet blanket that quickly douses your tenacity, your motivation and influenced you to be lame as they are and to stay normal and content in the no eventful life are in. They, in their under par lifestyle, quickly paints their reality, their perspective as to what you should do instead of pursuing your dreams, like a “B” movie showing you the life she wants you to live.
Yes, she/they will ask you where you are going. Why are you going to that for? You’re wasting your time, your kids need you, you’re not getting paid, and the last negative statement is” For what are you going there for , you’re not even going to get paid” My advice is to drop them like they was a finish beer bottle and get with a companion that is DRIVEN and has BIG dreams and Has AMBITION!
This negativity BullShit is one of the most subliminal dream killers there is. You must say to yourself, No, no, no she wants me to live a normal, uneventful, no dream having life. She/he wants your ambitions to be rat race qualified and not more, in other words, get up go to work, come home, make love and do it all again the next day.
You get up, go to work, pay bills, take care of kid, go to sleep, got to work, come home and then give you some love a month from now, yupppp! That’s your worthless life you live, and please don’t be that guy that gave up on his dream cause of pussy, pussy don’t pay bills and doesn’t complete a man…..it sure as hell motivates but it cannot be the reason why you’re scared to make major moves or make major decisions on your dream conquest. I say you stop that negativity ASAP. Tell he/him your either for me or against me and if your against me you really don’t believe in me and if you don’t believe in me that makes a weak link in our chain of a relationship and that’s not going to last the test of time.
I’m talking from personal experience, I have been at red carpet events alone, big exciting events alone, because my significant other was in normality mode, she was content in being a regular person, the dream was just make a pay check and exist. They had no passion, no big dream that they was pursuing. They had a good job, a nice BMW, she was pretty and that is where her life had stalled, and then there was me, writing a book, shooting a film, producing a children’s cook show, working a job, enrolled in my MBA and on top of that I was a lover and a supporter. Don’t get me wrong there’s nothing wrong with being secure and complacent in life. If your that guy, that guy that has what it takes to make it, if your that guy that already has the resource within yourself, if your that guy that everyone says “ He’s going to make it” if your that guy that’s working a nine to five and your miserable there , if your that guy in a failing relationship, do not waste one more second on that old, boring , non-eventful life, take chances and apply yourself to making your dreams come true.
Time wasted is time lost, the time it took you to read this blog you will never get back. Don’t idle time, be brave, be bold in all your endeavors. Nothing is impossible, nothing at all. Do not let fear cripple you, it’s all mental, you cannot continue to be your biggest enemy, once you believe in yourself one hundred percent you will see a huge difference in your dreams and passions coming to reality, it will take sacrifices, risk and chance. We would work all our lives to make millions, we are saving for the future, and we want that house and that brand new car to say what? Oh while we lived on earth we drove a nice car and we lived in a nice house and we worked hard all our lives to live the last few years of our lives comfortable…….that’s bull shit!!!!!! This lifestyle is a facade, because you’re not guaranteed to live another day, not another second. The richest people, the most valuable things are in the graveyards. Those are dead people with dreams not yet made, inventions not yet completed, wisdom, intellect, wealth that is now gone cause they kept waiting for the perfect time, the perfect weather, the perfect mate, the perfect conditions.
All of these elements come by chance, and if you’re not into taking chances you will be dead with millions in the bank, a Bentley, obese, a woman who you hated but couldn’t; leave cause that’s all you got, a woman that killed your dreams and had you chasing money, houses, cars, and then you die. The reality is that none of those worldly things have any value to you dead. It only has value to the owner of them. A new Bentley sitting on a car lot is absolutely worthless until it’s bought; now it’s worth 100k to the owner of it. So why, us, the owners of the most precious commodity “Time” do we throw it away, let them slip by, you might as well take all the money you have, buy diamonds with every penny you have, and every second throw one of those precious diamonds into a volcano for ever more.
I’m not saying that having a house, working 8 hours a day and having a family is not the right thing to do. What I’m saying is if you’re “THAT GUY” this piece applies to you. Now if you are not “THAT GUY” then why the hell are you still reading this piece? If you are that passionate dreamer, make your life complete, close the circle, even if you try …let say you quit your job, place a hold on your lady, kiss your kids good bye and tell them that daddy is going to embark on a short term motivated push for his career or dream… it still will make your life more adjusted, more complete. It will let you know if you really have a dream that has merit or if it’s a pipe dream. You will also know if you have what it takes or not and if this is a realistic dream or passion for you to continue to chase.
Believe me you would be at peace with yourself. Once you make it send me a check for 1 million dollars for motivating you before I forget to mention it, words are powerful and this piece may help you motivate you.
By giving your dream a hundred percent it will also allow you to find out that “hey this is not for me” or is It.? or “I can stop living a lie” and just die a peaceful regular guy. Or you can guy who thinks only about making money,,,, that left millions or left hundreds in the bank and works 30 years to retire and to be in terrible health and just die, die, die, you slow ass, no having ambition ass, die , die, with a home that someone else is going to take over, yes the home you worked 30 years to buy that will never belong to you cause in actuality your just paying mortgage on the right to live there and pass it on when your gone… and well you get the idea. Don’t talk about it anymore, be about it. Stop telling people your plans as well this brings envious spirits and it brings in negativity; only tell people of your accomplishments, desires and goals after you have met them. This will have a huge impact because it nothing those negative envious people can do. I’m so good at this I let people think I’m dumb, I’m a clown, that I’m stupid, I let them think they have an upper hand on me , like I’m in the same pathetic boat that they are in, but I’, laughing all the way to the bank, then I hit them with oh hey” I just wrote a book’ or hey I just shot a movie, or hey I just graduated with my MBA…..then they look at you with more hate more envious spirits and then guess what they say nothing….in fact these cancerous friends don’t want to be around you because they cannot equal up to your status so they find a weaker a less ambitious person to swim in the slop with.
In conclusion do we make this trot today and embark on a more exciting journey or do we wait for tomorrow that chance may happen again. We are not guaranteed any thing in life but grief meaning death is inevitable. So be ambitious think BIG, do today what can be done today don’t wait for tomorrow. Don't live like you got time because you can be a victim at any given second. So make that song, make that movie, write that script, be that clothing designer, open that business, fix that car, pay that bill, take the shot, write that book, dance to that song, make that baby, and live life like it's the last day. Don’t be that fool that died with an heart ache, that every time he sees TV he says “I used to do that”, or “I could have been that”, don’t be a “had a man”, don’t be that idiot that died one day before your book dropped, or one day before you made that major move or signed that deal or quit your job……don’t be that fool that dies with millions, or dies broke and didn’t leave the most long lasting, most precious element in life and that’s a legacy. Legacy can last the test of time, make history, get documented in history and change a life through your humanities, make a difference. It’s all mental, be strong, be brave take more calculated risk on dreams on your goals on your self, time is ticking.
