Fakers, Chasers and Facebook Haters

Everyday, someone, somewhere faces an extreme challange. i don't mean getting out of bed or forcing themselves to work out. i'm talking about real, true, challenges. some days, something might nip me in the butt, leave a bad taste in my mouth and i get a little upset. but i try to remind myself, if this is the WORST thing going on right now, if i can't find ANYthing else to bitch about, my life's pretty great. remind yourself of the things that you've accomplished. that you've done and of what you will do. relax and breathe.
i realize everyone out there has their little quirks that annoy people. i'm very aware that for everyone out there who doesn't like all the negative social media buzz, there's also people who hate "motivators". and i understand, it looks like so called "optimists" don't have bad days and honestly, we all know they do. the difference is, they don't post/share about it. i have bad days, i face trials EVERY day. something goes wrong nearly everyday in my life, it's true. most of these things are quickly pushed aside and i move on knowing, that little mishap, not going to effect my life. so move on. the most optimistic and positive thing about my life (aside from my AMAZING support group of my family and loved ones) is the fact that i'm chasing my dream. i haven't achieved it. but everyday i wake up knowing there's nothing else i'd rather be doing, and when you're in that position, not much else matters. there's a TON of info that the general public, friends, family, fans don't know about artists or musicians. just like i'm sure i don't know all about being an accountant or an actor. things are rough these days for musicians if you're after fame or fortune. i'm not famous. and i'm BEYOND poor. but, if as an artist, your goal is to be heard, to help people, to change peoples lives and believe in what you're doing - i'm lavishly rich.
realize what's important to you and chase that. identify dreams, and when you're chasing them, really going after what you want in life, little things won't matter. you have all you need - family, friends, loved ones, and your dreams. i'm thankful everyday for these things. sure things get my blood boiling, but get over it. relax. enjoy your life and let others enjoy theirs. little things i promised myself, no matter how poor i get, i'll always find a way to afford starbucks, music, and french macaroons. it sounds silly, but on days i can't afford other things, i remember, hey, i know i'm poor, and i can still afford coffee and kickass tunes. support the things you believe in and love or they won't be there. loosen up. and chase your dreams. always. chase your dreams.... chase and Laugh, Learn, Love and Live.
