No Guts, No Glory…

.
Many years ago I saw a poster of a saxophone player, with a caption underneath that read “Do what you love. The rest comes.”
.
Back then I wanted to believe those words, but I knew if I did, it would mean I’d have to put everything on the line. I’d have to risk taking action and then live with whatever consequence if I failed. “Going for it” meant giving up everything else in my life that was safe and comfortable and familiar. It would mean facing my ultimate fears, with no guarantee of success, and nothing to rely on but myself.
.
Back then I wasn’t ready to believe in doing what I loved. I wasn’t ready for the level of responsibility that being true to myself and others actually required. Now, twenty years later, all I can tell you is it’s true. You’ve got to believe in yourself. You’ve got to believe in your dream. It’s worth it.
.
Find a way to do what you love. Whatever it is. Whatever it takes. Start now. Live to support your Love, and your Love will support your life.
