KEKO Says….  Follow your dreams. If you have a goal, and you want to achieve it, then work hard and do everything you can to get there, and one day it will come true. ~ Lindsey Vonn

I am an optimist.  In fact, I may be the ultimate optimist because I believe everything is within your ability to accomplish….. IF you properly chase the dream.  What does that mean?  That means you have to develop a complete plan of action to accomplish what you want to make happen.

First, your plan must be realistic in terms of it being within the possibility of possible outcomes.  One cannot have any possibility be a world class hockey player if they do not have the natural talent to play hockey.  So you have to keep it real.

Secondly, you have to be willing to undertake reasonable steps to get where you need to get.  Whether that is by taking lessons, or becoming intellectually skilled at whatever is necessary to take those steps.  It may involve years of college, or years of vocal lessons, or art lessons, for example, if that is what is necessary.

Lastly is the hard part….the hard work that can help one go from being average to being great.  Relentless work ethic in my opinion, goes hand in hand with accomplishments.

Three last pieces of advice….

– Chase the dream, never the money.  If you design your career or future around your pursuit of the almighty buck, you may get there but you may find misery along with the money.

–  If your plan isn’t working, you don’t need to ride the ship to the bottom of the sea.  Take a step back, try and look at the progress realistically, and revise the plan.  Waiting too long to abandon or revise the plan can be deathly.

–  There is no guarantee you will find success if you get up off the couch and bust it… but I will guarantee you won’t find it if you remain seated on the couch.

That’s all I got for now.

I said it…and that’s that. Smile, make a difference, go support live music. I am outta here. KEKO
