Starving to Stardom

Grinding- the process by which we hustle to make our living, day to day, by any means necessary.

I have a tendency to say I'm grinding a lot these days it becomes this mantra that I say over and over that it almost feels like I'm just lazy to find another word to express how I feel. What I have noticed is that I am focused, relentless, and determined to achieve my goals. This feeling is satisfying within itself. Having had many doubts, fears, and worries tarnish days that I should have been enjoying. It has taken me my own way to understand what the grind truly is. I have had many wise men tell me of the cliches that we so often hear about so that one can make it in this world (New York City). Cliches exist for a reason because they are truths that cannot be denied. Success to me is the combination of talent, hard work, consistency, and positive outlook. You build confidence based on knowing that you are well versed in your shit. Its not that you are not open and flexible its having the knowledge base to do what you need to get done so that you are ready for the world. It is a slow road to success because if it came easy you wouldn't be able to maintain the pressures of the goal that you had set for yourself. It's true I want things my way and fast, but they rarely seem to come that way. Patience has finally find a home in me so that I may continue the work I need to do to reach the peaks I am destined to summit. Yes, I am grinding in New York City to survive, to live, to reach my dreams, and this is not a new story, just a different version one that is personal and prominent. You have heard it all before the tireless success story on True Hollywood story of actors, singers and other entertainers who have actually been in the business a very long time and there is so much effort they put in you didn't know about some of your favorite celebrities. This is also true of me the work that I have really put in will one day be recognized as the truth of my starving to stardom. When I say that I am grinding, know that I am truly busting my ass to make it and nothing can stop me now.
