So many days,
I have questioned if I am making a difference. Is staying awake half the night
seeking clarity, thought, and silence to produce art worth it? Is the money spent
on books and searching information to improve viewership worth it?
Does it matter?

The lack of
comments within my blogs, often make me wonder.
Today was an
unusual day. I was made aware of my responsibilities towards my readers and
friends. Tonight, I realized the impact on people’s lives I made through my
experiences of creating a friendship with one of my former band mates and one
of my blog readers.
We often don’t
get the opportunity or time for people to understand our nature, personality or
core values. Sadly, most people are so busy in their daily lives; we all become
lost in the noise and shuffle. Daily schedules, families, chores, and work permits
us little time for ourselves or to reflect on the most important things in our
lives.
I can’t tell
you how good it feels to receive positive feedback from people. To know people
understand where your heart is and respect you is something I cherish.
I couldn’t be happier knowing that despite the
fact I am writing late into the night for two years; I am making a difference in some people’s lives and all those little
victories eventually leads to a larger scale of followers, known as a tribe.
People are
reading my blogs. I am slowly growing my business. I’d much rather build slow.
Slow I can handle. When we rush- we tend to look for results
quickly. When the desired results aren’t fulfilled, we become discouraged or quit.
For me, it’s more like crash and burn.
But today
was different.
It was my
wake-up call to responsibility, an opportunity to feel I am a part of something special, that I started, and someone
cares.
It was my time to reflect on
something meaningful- that does matter!
I want to thank both individuals for inspiring me.
Until
We Meet Again,
