If you are my friend on Facebook or follow me on Twitter, you probably know by now that I recently released an album. It has been a lifelong dream of mine, but not for the reasons you might think. See, I didn't do it for money or notoriety. I did it for myself. To be able to say to my kids one day that their dad made an album. That is all I ever wanted, to one day be able to show them and tell them how their dad set his mind to something and accomplished his dream. One day I hope that my future children will look to my album as a sign that no matter what they wish to do in this world, anything and everything is possible. This album is also about proving something to myself. Proving that no matter how much I doubt myself and no matter the road ahead, I am determined and strong enough to see my goals through to the end. People often say that music is their therapy, and in this way it truly is mine. My album allowed me to get out of the habit of making excuses, out of the habit of starting something, only to be discouraged and eventually quit. This album, no matter how minor in the grand scheme of life, is me crossing a finish line. I have accomplished something that many people only dream of accomplishing. I stand here on the other side of the finish line to say to all people who have dreams that seem daunting or too scary, it is possible and all the hard work will be worth it in the end. The amount of personal growth I have gained from this feat has given me some perspective. It's not about chasing our dreams for recognition or money. We chase them because they help us find ourselves. Our dreams and our goals allow us to find out what truly matters to each and every one of us and they allow us to show the world what we as individuals care most about. I hope that if you are reading this, you too are thinking of your dreams and goals. I hope that you too are thinking about what they truly mean to you. I hope that you all will find your ways across those finish lines and look back and feel proud. Then one day we'll all have something to show our kids and smile about.
