Dreams are a beautiful thing. They allow us to find something to go after, a purpose for our lives, a happy ending that we can strive for, but what about the distance between where you are and where that dream begins? I guess I could say that everyone deserves a shot at their dreams, which is true, but you can't expect them to come right to you. You look up at the people who have made their dreams come true, and it all looks glamorous, but behind all of the glitter, you see one person who worked extremely hard to get from where they were to where they wanted to be.
I take a look at the musicians who are out there right now. Their lives seem so crystal clear and perfect from here, but you have to remember that they have struggles too. Life is full of struggles, no matter where you go, but sometimes I forget. Remembering all the things they gave up, the time they spent, the tears, the fears, the trial and error, not feeling good enough...it all goes into the process of making it where you want to be.
When you are going after your dreams, you have to remember the reality as well. That is a key to success in whatever you pursue. Go in with an open mind, with ambitious goals, but also with a sound understanding of what you are throwing yourself into. I believe everyone has a chance to make it where they want to be....but only the hardworkers will pursue and succeed. Be that hardworker. Don't listen to what anyone says about you. Don't listen to anyone's critism...just go out there and work hard for what you desire.
