Why you should chase your dreams???

FALL OUT BOY LYRICS- "Save Rock And Roll"

(feat. Elton John), 

You are what you love, Not who loves you!

To me that means who cares about Facebook likes, popularity and things you cant technically control. The things you can control such as what drives you aka “what you love” that is who you really are, don't let anyone tell you otherwise 

You do not need a pay check to justify your passions and talent.

It resonated with me because I have been through years of heartache trying to achieve something I always thought was mine and if I had it... if I was a celebrity, singer, songwriter then I would be complete. If I put “all in” so to speak. All eggs in one basket, all my money, all my time and devotion I would get it, I would get what I want. And so I took on a music career. 

• So in the end I didn't get what I wanted, I got something different, something I took for granted, I got so much more... 

• I have had allot of people tell me I am not good enough, I should have started younger, I have to put out sexually to get the dream, I have also been told,  You can follow your dreams someday, but right now you need to buckle down and be responsible.....

  Someday? When is ‘someday?’ Someday doesn't even exist, 

• I was told: Only a lucky few “make it.” -That’s because those 

  lucky few got off their rear ends and did something about it! 

• very discouraged I wanted to give up so many times, I think about the negative experience and I want to tell young ones “don't do it!!!!” “run !!!!” get a secure job, be boring and safe. The corruption and sharks are enough to scare anyone away.

• However I gained something I may have never gained and that was my journey, my experience with so many different aspects of the entertainment industry, problem solving, learning to stay humble when you are in the lime light.

• Working on set in film and television 

• Working along side big celebrities 

• Travelling to gigs out of the country 

• Singing the american anthem in a California town for an event 

• Having my song hit heavy rotation in Canada and hearing it on the 

  radio 

• Working for big music festivals along side huge artists.

• Invited to the playboy mansion and Michael Bubles house in beverly 

  Hills.

• More stage time and studio time I could ever ask for. 

  So though I didn't get to be a big rock star, I got to experience more things I could have possibly imagined, I made so many friends all over the world, I developed knowledge in the entertainment industry. I have helped so many other people follow and chase their dreams you cant put a price to that. I am also not done yet, so that stardom still may come but I am at peace either way.

  Dreams! We do talk a lot about them. After all, we all are dreamers right? its not unrealistic, the achievement is a great part of the deal, if you achieve what you are actually striving for.... however the greater success is the journey. Because sometimes you have no control over your actually destiny. Life things come up. 

  I know hardly anyone who has taken the same path as me, and those who have we all have something in common; no regrets, even though we maybe didn't play it so safe and lived through allot of hard times and rejection. And I might not have the white picket fence but I have experience some people only get to watch on their TV

  You will face many challenges that you never could have even imagined and at that time the best will come out of you. You will learn things about yourself you would have never known, had you not pursued your path, doors will open for you in industries you would have never guessed you could get the opportunity to be exposed to.

Remember Perfect timing does not exist. If you wait for the perfect time to make the leap toward chasing your dreams, you will be waiting forever. 

Today is the only day guaranteed to you. Today is the only day you can begin to make a difference in your life. And pursuing your dreams is what life is all about. So don’t be irresponsible. Don’t wait until ‘someday.’ 

It’s your life, live it under your terms!

You will inspire others to follow their own dreams, even if they know nothing about you. I have inspired so many musicians to get on stage with me, even though they have NEVER even performed before other then by the camp fire.

I have built five different bands now and the leadership skills, organizing and planning that is involved in that is priceless. I have held big charity events and raised money for the children hospital with my talents and invited other peer musicians to be a part of the charity. 

The chemistry that happens when you are up there together on stage with your band, the chemistry, that magic that happens in the studio is indescribable. It is something I wish upon everyone, and I believe anyone is capable of creating music or art in some way shape or form. I believe that is why we are here on earth to love and to create.
