Never Give Up, Reach for Your Dreams

"Never Give Up, Reach for Your Dreams"

If you want to succeed in life, stop wishing for it and start working for it! Ask yourself if what you're doing today is getting you closer to where you want to be tomorrow. A change in your mentality can ulitmately be a change in your life. Think outside the box, do not be afraid to reach for the stars! When people obey the rules, they're regular...when people break the rules, they're "creative". Never be afraid of something new, life gets boring when you stay within the limits of what you already know. I DARE YOU TO NOT JUST "GO ALONG WITH THE FLOW"! Believe and act as if it were impossible to fail!  If you are not different, you are not needed. Dedicate yourself daily to work towards a better tomorrow. The great dividing line between success and failure can be expressed in five words, "I do not have time".  Do not run from a challenge but instead run towards it because the only way to escape fear is to trample it beneath your feet. In order to get to a place you've never been, sometimes you have to do some things that you've never done. Face your shortcomings, success is found in overcoming yourself. Don't be controlled by weaknesses! Set goals and GO FOR YOURS!

Oldie But Goodie: "The Show Goes On" - Lupe Fiasco

"The Show Goes On"

Lupe's The Show Goes On was his first hit single from his third studio album entitled "Lasers". Despite all of the success and the popularity of this song it was not one Lupe was proud of. Fiasco says that the record company blackmailed him into "dumbing the song down" in order for people to relate to it or they would not release his album. He said it was almost like telling Picasso to paint poodles. But to their efforts, the song did get a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Song & it also peaked at number 9 on the Billboards Top 100 list.
