The abbreviated speech on believing in yourself and the power of the mind:

So many people in this world have things all wrong.  I have 100 percent faith in two things in life:

1.  If you believe in yourself, you can achieve anything no matter how hard it is.  The mind is the most powerful tool we ALL have available to us... but also the most under used...  By simply picturing your goals and yourself achieving them, you will naturally and subconciously do the things necessary to get yourself there.  Take time each day to physically tell youself NOT to do what most of us do, which is just the opposite; telling ourselves we're not good enough, not strong enough, etc... to do what we want to do.  That only pushes us further from our goals.  Instead, take time each day to sit and visualize your goals and dreams.  Where you are, what you're doing, who else is there and how you're effecting them...  down to the littlest details...  even down to what you're wearing... 

and 2.  God will never give you more than you can handle.  I say this cause the things MOST worth achieving in life are the also the hardest.  They are things that take great sacrifice and that will be an extreme test of your character as well as your emotional and pyschological stability (believe me, I know this one ALL too well)...  "The road to sucess is a lonely one"

So anyway, never stop dreaming, picturing yourself in your goals final destination or working to make the life you want...  I have lots more testimony and tips on this topic if anyone ever wants to hear more.  Since I became a believer and supporter of all this jazz about 8-9 months ago, my music and my career have improved by leaps and bounds.  More in the past year than in the 3-5 years I have been professionally persuing a performing career!  Anyway, I gotta get back to work!  Goodnight all!
