The Time is Now

My moment.

This moment in time is all I have,

This day of my life is the most important to grab,

This morning I rise prepared to do what it takes,

Today is my chance so the most I will make,

Out of each and every moment, including this very,

So this must be deep, I make sure that it’s heavy,

But never too much to bare, we’re already prepared,

And because it’s all we have I better not dare,

Sit idle and wait for the time to be right,

I can’t hope and pray that one day I’ll see the light,

I must live in the moment, and maximize the second,

I don’t know which tomorrow will end with me naked,

Lying in a wood box six feet down below,

Where the sound can’t be heard, and the days are so slow,

At least that’s what I think, what really happens, who knows,

But the one thing that’s certain, is that moment will come,

So I must live my dream now and not sweat what’s to come,

And what’s really to fear, one thing is already clear,

I know what not living my dream is like,

I spend every day here,

So I’m off to live now, I’m off to get to my moment,

And when I end my journey, in that last, quiet second,

Even then, I will own it.

They say today is the first day of the rest of your life; I’ve had to learn how true that is no matter how obvious it may seem. In that spirit it is so crucial that we maximize each day on our paths to our destinations; we never know when this journey will end so there is little time for fretting and never any time for regret.

We all have dreams and ambitions that we carry from day to day unfulfilled. These ideas and passions are bubbling with possibilities as they fill us with anxiety and fear. But our anxiety and fear are many times misunderstood; I think we misinterpret these feelings as reasons or signals to not pursue our goals. In my experience I have found that those feelings are more about our potential to achieve what we truly want if we are willing to step out and step up in our thoughts and actions. Deep down we know that we can get to where we want be, we’re just hesitant to go.

Well today is the day to get on your way; you know what I’m talking about and what needs to be done. And as you get on your way you will start to see that your expectations will begin to change as you begin to move towards your dreams. We only have so many moments in this experience; it’s only fair to ourselves that we make the most of them.

I love you,

Believe in Yo Self :)

I believe

I can do it, I can do it, I know I can,
I can do it, I can do it, because I got a plan,
I can do it, I can do it, I have no choice,
I can do it, I can do it, because I gave my thoughts a voice.
Once I say it, it can happen,
Whether it’s acting, or its rapping,
Whether it’s graduation, or probation,
My results are all MY creation.
I direct my path so I must believe in me,
I have to be the first one to see the light in me.
Because if not me, then who;
Everybody else got their PHD in what I can’t do,
So I just continue to push, and believe in me,
And leave my dreams for everyone else to see.

“We can become and achieve anything that we want to be.”

I used to hear this all the time as a child and I truly believed it. As I got older I started to think it wasn’t true, but then I realized where the disconnect was; after we decide that we are going to do something we must be sure that each and every action we take has the possibility of getting us closer to our goal. Also, we must attack our goals and go after them with the fervor and vitality of someone that has to achieve their goal or they will perish. In reality when we don’t achieve our goals and aspirations our spirit becomes broken and dead just as our dreams are. So failure is not an option, your dreams are within your reach. You have the key, and are the captain, so go make your dreams come true!!!
I believe in me; do you believe in you?
