Excuse Me While I Kiss The Sky

Yep...even though I still have my struggles...I am walking on clouds.  Why you might ask?  Because I set a goal for myself that was a little bit of a stretch, and I achieved that goal.  A couple of times I thought I might bale, but the bigger, better, and  greater part of me decided that I must press on...and press on I did.

I once heard Russell Simmons,  a very successful man, say that people don't usually fail they simply quit.  I might add that there are a lot of talented people (and a lot more people who could be talented) who don't lack ability they lack stamina.  The universe knows the difference between wishful thinking and dedication.  Dedication will make you stay up late at night, in a hot studio working on songs.  Dedication will make you call those last twenty names on your list.  Dedication will make you do things wishful thinkers will not do...and the universe knows the difference.

Success really is fairly simple.  If you do enough of the right things you will succeed.  Many of us know the right things, we just fail to do them enough.  We can know we have done enough when success is the result.  How long do you try?  You try until it's done.  

In the meantime I want to tell you the necessary building blocks are small victories.  If you put enough of them together you will achieve wonderful things.  More importantly you will feel good about yourself.  When you feel good about yourself it will give you the energy you need to go a little further.  The further you go the closer ultimate victory is.  

So, I am a couple of steps closer, and I must say it feels really good to say I'm going to do something that matters to me, and then get it done.  I can get use to feeling this high...so high I can kiss the sky.  Come on up and join me...it's beautiful up here.

Stay Fly and Fly High!
