Like most of you, since joining the Fastlane Forum - hell even before joining the forum - I've always wrestled with the challenges put before me. I've been lucky enough to be born with traits (or lucky enough to be apart of a family that instilled them) that allow me to put myself into situations that most wouldn't venture into, which definitely makes for good storytelling and more opportunities. Now this may seem like a great quality to have for those more timid.. But it really just makes for a lumpy head and broken legs from plunging into the rocks after my leap of faith.
Some time ago, after dealing with some failures and trying to climb out of a darkness that came over me, I decided to sit down and write a song about all that I was feeling at the time. You see, songwriting is my greatest passion and the reason that I even began looking into starting my own business - I wanted enough time and money to write songs all day, every day - it was only natural for me to vent and soul search in this way.
I realized as I put the pen to paper that I was indeed scared during those times. Scared of being a loser, scared of being a nobody, scared of not achieving my dreams, scared that I was becoming complacent, scared of being average. But it also helped me to know that although I'm afraid of all of those things - that fear in combination with my refusal to quit are what's going to make me come out on top.
This is a song for anyone who feels that way as well - Or anyone that needs a little push.
