Reassurance that all things are possible

Today was another great day. Worked out this morning and preparing to restructure my video again. John (my trainer) checked it out and said I should rearrange a few thing to make it more appetizing to the viewer. I agreed and boy is this tough, now I know why editors and producers get paid so much to do what they do. Sitting in front of a screen for countless hours at a time, cutting scene, adding scenes and editing scene can be a pain in the you know what. But I guess, heck this is what I want so I got to keep moving forward. I'm so close and ready to take my place at the table. Who would have thought that I would be in the predicament that I am in today. Well I guess I can say I thought it. I knew the journey that I had planned to take was going to be tough, but I was willing to do it because it's what I want. I think that so many people get caught up in what the world, their family or society thinks that they should be doing, that they loose focus on what they think they want to do. There is nothing wrong with dreaming because dreams do become reality. Just as Puff Daddy, Jay-Z, Ted Turner, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and party. They were all dreamers so why not you and I. Funny story I will share with you then I have to get back to work. While here in Atlanta, I have had a few part time jobs just to keep myself busy and keep a little money in my pocket while I trained. Well on of these jobs was with Taco Mac, a Wing and taco restaurant here in the south. This Taco Mac was a bit different then the rest because it was connected to the Phillips Arena and the CNN building. OK that gives you a little background, it will make sense later. So one night while preparing for the next morning I had the TV on and CNN was doing a special on Ted Turner, after listening to this man speak told ran upstairs and told my trainer "I'm going to meet Ted Turner before I leave Atlanta". Less then three weeks later those words that I spoke became reality. Now, most times I went to work I would walk from the parking deck, through CNN. The following week after seeing Mr. Turner on TV, there was an advertisement promoting a Ted Turner's new book and he would be holding a book signing the following week. Well to make a long story short, I was cut from my shift that day at work, wrote Mr. Turner a letter, was denied the opportunity to meet Mr. Turner (he stop signing after the 200th costumer); then soon after personally introduced to Mr. Turner and allowed in line. We took a picture he signed my book and I left that store with the confidence or swagger of a man that could do anything. I said I was going to do it, and you better believe I did. Keep God first and all things are possible.
