The Lyrics From Billys Forest Chapter 159

It's completely human to think we're instant stars. Television shows like American Idol, Americas Got Talent and The Voice all take from the depths of the invisible and suddenly put a face on possibility. What we don't see are the personal struggles beyond the three minutes they're featured each week and we don't get to experience the afterlife of where those that once stood on that stage presently play out their shape of art. On this podcast I openly discuss the importance of process. The journal I'm reading from was purchased at the Billy Graham Library in July of 2015. I penned out my first thoughts inside it's pages on August 6, 2015. The final page was reached on April 24, 2019. Today's date is July 1, 2019. A lot of numbers right? Look beyond the situation at hand and see that it required nearly four years of discipline to reach where we presently stand. They don't teach you this stuff at Michaels and every art school on the planet. We're designed to flop the money down on the desk and be labeled a living legend in two to six months or shorter. The problem isn't always the student but the expectation of society. In order to be recognized and or accepted certain positions and places need to be met to belong to our team. Rather than let the wind and winter snow help shape the rock, the physical actuality becomes tomorrows zombies. Just showing up at work because it keeps the lights on. Your creative energy is at an all time low but you're afraid to talk about it. The fear of the unknown keeps you in discomfort because any feeling is better than numb. Take the step to locate a project that's been around longer than three years. Spend some time writing about the uphill battles and itty bitty victories. Know in your place of now that you're always growing and you've got to give that area of your path a lot more respect than it's receiving.
