NO STRUGGLE...NO PROGRESS (Repost from Aug 2009)

I now have a clear understand as to how the world turns…and now…I am a firm believer that people will not help people unless it truly benefits them in the process. I am a believer in helping others that truly want to be helped and don’t look for a “handout or pass” if that person was to “skyrocket” to cloud nine, but the problem is…where is the love and support shown in return? I have encountered many poets, musicians, and friends…who say…”pass the word about me”…”do this for me”…”can I borrow”…”I promise”…etc, etc….until you wouldn’t believe how tiresome it gets.
Most of these people tend to be lame, but I gamble on what they are…to what they may well one day become…you never know…the skinniest knock-kneed guy at the end of a lineup on a high school basketball team, could be the NBA’s #1 draft pick years later…so my reference is this...watch how you treat people, because that person could be the same person to pass you by in the blink of an eye, while you’re still soul searching for stardom.
So where does the table turn if you are in the category of asking yourself… when will it be my turn? Why will no-one notice me? Should I buy someone else’s CD, book, or set up shows…if they don’t understand what my method of madness may be in the long run? Am I being used to help others that don’t respect my work ethics…the answer is easy…keep grinding and never stop grinding…life doesn’t stop, because you feel no one is watching…the truth is…there is someone watching…you just haven’t found the right connection yet, but one day…you will…keep grinding…without struggle…there’s no progress...the more progress equals success!!!
