As Good As It Gets

I use to have an unshakable faith, one that was free in it's beliefs and boundless in it's vision. It use to be my crowning jewel, the best thing about me. Any one who new me pre-2005 will tell you that my faith was sometimes reckless and so big it was hard to believe.

Then one night all that I believed in, suddenly went away. I felt robbed of and betrayed, because I had always thought that faith turns dreams into reality. When the sun hides behind a cloud it takes the heat with it, so do dreams vanish when faith is shaken. That is why our dreams are so often subdued. We are fearful, that if we think to big we might be let down and in return have our faith reduced. Then again our dreams become even smaller and we spend the rest of our lives in worldly submission, just accepting mediocracy and believing that maybe that is as good as it gets for us.

We can't control somethings in life, but we can have faith regardless. You see faith might not get you everything you want, but it certainly will get you closer. It's our ticket out of here and it's we going 1st class.

"Faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you cannot see." Heb. 11:1

Actually hear what this phrase says, be SURE of what you hope for. How often are we not so sure? I mean seriously think about, you want to get the editor position at a big magazine and you believe that you are the one for the job, but then someone in the industry tells you that you too young and that no-one in there 20's has ever held the position before. So your faith gets swayed and before you know it you're thinking, well junior editor is actually what you want and anything above that is a bonus. You see how subtle it is, we are all so persuadable and it is subduing our faith and dreams that should be even more refined then when we were kids.

I've been subdued for long enough now and don't really care if all my aspirations aren't reached before death comes knocking. I just want to believe that they could and that tomorrow will be the product of my thoughts today.

I challenge you to pinch yourself every time you find yourself thinking negatively and then re-think that thought positively.

I will be one of the 'Carbon Copy Pro' millionaires (more info@ link below) and I will find the freedom to continue writing music under my terms. That is one of the crazy ass dreams I've decided to go for, why? Because I can!

Here are some lyrics to a song I wrote about the pain of loosing someone, for what ever reason.

Always Awake

Verse

I’m always awake, haunted by your face

Every night and day, chasing a dream of what could have been

Pre-chrous

Although you’re not here, I can still feel you

Chorus

I can feel you, Like a wind off the sea, you cut to the middle of me x2

Verse

I sometimes escape, to hide from the pain

I wear the evening like a dark cape, but I can never get away

I always see your face, always

Pre-chorus

I can still feel you

Chorus

I can feel you, Like a wind off the sea, you cut to the middle of me x2

Bridge

Verse

I’m always awake, haunted by your face

Every night and day, but I can never get away

I always see your face, always, always awake, always, always

I’m always awake
