Right now I don't know what is going through me. All I know is that I am
getting focused for a better tommorrow. Each day I learn something new
and gain more of a sense of awareness about a certain subject. I have
only missed one class, I don't go to sleep at 1 am anymore, more like 3
am. I should study and work on my math and communication paper work more
but more on that ish later, right now I'm focused on some other things
The past couple days I have received emails from people asking exactly
how I do the things that I do in this music industry. The first thing I
tell them is that I do ME!!!! I have a goal and I look to acheive it.
Nothing of worth comes easy, so u have to work for it. Lots of things
that I have done were because I just aimed for it and it just came to be
or it wasn't what it was supposed to be.
Things happen for a reason is a big thing in my life. Certain things that
we may agree and or really disagree with happen to only make us better as
people. You have to learn from your mistakes and when you do you get a
better sense of yourself and how far you have become.
For example. In the summer of 2007, I wanted to rock fashion geek and
needed to find out exactly who to contact and whatnot cause I loved the
brand. Now in 2009, my closet full of that shit, some shirts I aint even
worn yet, some my friends wore before I did!(cough, nick!!!!). I aimed
for something and made it happen. No if ands or buts. Just do it!!
I wanted to be a journalist and now have more than just be that option.
I can be a vice president of a label, something else, promo head for a
streetwear brand. Chicago assistant to a music mogul...I mean my future
is bright!!! But it wasn't because I pondered and sat about it, I went
out and grabbed it!!!
You can take all the advice in the world but its up to u to do what you
will withwhat was told to you. Stop limiting yourselves to only being
this and being that. A communication degree doesn't have to only land
yoiu as a PR person!!!!! I love my PR ppls but if u have bigger dreams
never settle for less than what you expect of yourself.
Stop talking and do it. Think about what you want to do and let your
actions speak through. Stop using words like I wish, I want...say I
AM!! Those will limit yourself to something u DON'T wanna be....I want
to be great...dude I AM GREAT!!!
Keep your head high and respect others around you. You are never better
than anyone, no matter your tax bracket, grade, religion, age or
whatnot. Appreciate everyday that you got and who cares about you. Never
settle for being second for anyone, if they can't realize your gift then
you need to move out of their space.
Be cordial. If someone says hi, look them In the eye, smile and say hi
back. I cannot tell you how many times people do not do that and is very
angering! Why be cocky about someone is saying hello?
Lastly, smile every single day and get a laugh. Life is all about
having fun and enjoying the person you are. When people do that, others
enjoy you a lot more as a person too.

Most importantly be YOU. Not what society expects of you
