HMMM

You know why musicians and artists have a history of strange, early deaths? Because they knew nothing else, lived nothing else. They thought, slept, ate, and drank what they produced. They had no cushions to fall back on during the process either. For them, there were no options. That would kill anyone. Imagine for one moment in your day: driving your car; sitting at home alone; playing your favorite past-time, or participating in something that brings you great joy for extended periods of time, and think about what you desire or feel passionately about even half as much as what I described above. Is it worth your time, what time you have left on this mortal, blue speck that occupies such a small part of this small universe we occupy; which is surrounded by things we can never fully understand and distances in darkness we can never imagine, to chase after even the wildest of dreams? What makes you think your so special? You can't do that! What about your bills, your house, your kids? Who do you think you are? You are nobody special! I had to do things I didn't want to. I had to struggle to get where I am at. I gave up a lot for you. These are just a few of the things you will hear, from people who are not happy. A happy and content person would offer sound advice and direction through sound application of preordained principles based on specific ideals of success that fully encompass all efforts to the same. Anyone who discourages these things, or altars them in some way is to be avoided at all times. This is the cost, the first cost, of making a change that places value on what you feel passionate about in your life.
