Asher Roth - G.R.I.N.D.

Most of us at one time or another are guilty of wanting something that will give us ultimate happiness. Admit it, there had been that one time you thought that new girlfriend/boyfriend, promotion, extra cash, etc. etc, would solve all your problems. However in real life spouses leave, crappy economies make people lose jobs, money runs out, in general things end.

I look back in my life with that kind of thinking and almost chuckle at the idea of that saving "Ideal" moment to where all your problems end and everything is put on autopilot. To put it bluntly, life can be hard as things will change at a drop of a dime. Your comfortable state can be changed overnight.

Thats why I've strived to work hard and have 3 different things going on. Even when one thing is sucessful, I have a back up plan. Asher Roth's "G.R.I.N.D." hits very close to home as he states you have to get ready for a new day no matter how well or bad things are going.

I may sound negative about life, but I am trying to be realistic. Also don't get me wrong I love where I am and what I've accomplished such as making websites, (Latest one is Tanya Morgan''s Website), Meeting great Music artists through theFIVE10.com, and getting paid to tell people to do pushups. However what I learned is that no matter how great or terrible things are going, you have to grind and continuing to work hard. Yes many opportuinites can come, but those opportunities never last forever.

As I am turning 25 years old on the 5th of this month of September, I've changed my ways from focusing on the goals in life, and more towards living in the pursuit (Cause that's where the most fun is).
