Lose Yourself

Yea, I know...and your right...up to a point. Yes, I was thinking of Eminem's "Lose Yourself" from the movie soundtrack "8 Mile". I was thinking that one should never let it go...you only have one shot...:::hitting brakes::: "screeeeeech!!" to a (expletive) stop.

Back to reality (the really real...whats really real)

I have had many opportunities.

Whats really real?

You have to "Lose Yourself".

You have to hitch your wagon to something bigger than yourself to find something greater.

Lose yourself in the moment and never let it go. Become a part of the moment that is greater than yourself and embrace it and it will embrace you.

Okay, so I'm just voicing an opinion and not trying to punctuate a moral or ethic ideology to live long and prosper by...no 8 mile movie scenes here...its different...I could quote Mr. Spock from The Wrath of Khan - "The Needs Of The Many Outweigh The Needs Of The Few Or The One." I think that could open up a lot of social political debate. Personally, I do believe that one has to be selfish and selfless...and Mr. Spock did it at its highest level...We ain't gotta pull that one off to prove it. Lets just say, if we're all willing to put our skills on the field, working as a team can get things done.

I've been offered the opportunity of a life time :::checking my age::: and I'm not getting any younger. I've been giving the offer a lot of thought and the answer has to be "yes".

Its going to be a lot of work and I'm fine with that. How often do you get a chance to do something you love? I've asked myself the question of whether I'm ready or not...can my family adjust...can it be successful for everyone involved...and the answer is "yes". The positives outweigh the negatives and all that I am left with is fear of success and that is dismissed with every passing day. The answer to the question, "How do I deal with what I don't know?" can be found in an Henry Ford philosophy - "If you don't know then find someone that does." I know there will be a continuing learning curve...at my age, life has been a continuing learning curve. I had hoped to pursue my career under the guidance of another artist and more than likely at my own financial expense...as it is, standard in the industry. What greater opportunity could present itself than to define and set your own path. My only reluctance can be found in my skill level for the medium I work in. There are options. There are solutions. The answer is still "yes"...this can be done.

There is so much more I'd like to share in this writebite forum...but its enough for now. I'll take it a day at a time and see what happens as the days progress and I'll keep my eyes on the prize. Its a good feeling and for the greater good its not being done alone. So, go ahead Lose Yourself so you can find yourself.

...nuff 4 now, more later...
