What if you are your biggest problem?


If you want to be a write. Write.

If you want to be a singer. Sing.

If you want to starting your own business. Start it.

If you want to lose weight. Cut your calories.

If you want to learn how to juggle swords of death. Practice.

If you want to climb Mount Everest. Book your ticket.

If you want to jump into the unknown. Put one foot in front of the other.

Each whimsical wish that we have, each fanciful idea that we conjure up finds birth or dies with our action or inaction.

We either make it happen, or we don't.

It really is as simple as that.

I am getting increasingly tired of hearing others, and more importantly myself, come up with every reason under the sun why we can't live out our dreams.

It was a great tune 10 years ago, but now, it is one played out record.

You either make it happen.

Or you don't.

You either try.

Or you don't.

What's the worst that could happen? You either fail trying or fail without starting.

But what if you started and you won?

What if you climbed the mountain, lost the weight and made millions as an entrepreneur?

What if your inaction is the only hindrance?

What if you are your biggest problem?

Whether it is stagnant faith or a stagnant life, whether you can or can't change it, is really up to you.

I am heading to the studio this month to record my...whatever it becomes.

An album.

One song.

Or one rough time for my poor patient producer.

I don't live in a make believe world where I think I am the best singer, or song writer for that matter.

But I am going to try.

And it seems that success or failure hangs in that balance.
