don’t stop

don’t stop

Busy! Awesome! Excited! That’s been the past few weeks as I have officially accepted a position on a project that is like my dream. TBA soon. We’ve just gotten our social media rolling and the official project announcement will be blasted to the world soon. (Think getting global and finding your Blue Lollipop Road!)

So here we are, less than 3 months away from the 2nd Annual BLR Play It Forward, the 2nd Blue Lollipop Road Memorial Scholarship giveaway, year 5 since the launch of Blue Lollipop Road, and after all this time and effort- mountains are starting to move. (With a lot of hard work.)

Me = Hardworking Happy Camper.

If you’re out there, chipping away at something you’re totally passionate about and you’re beyond exhausted working your butt off- keep pushing. If you’re sick of being poor, wondering if you’ll be able to stand one more paycheck to paycheck week as you work away at that project you love- don’t stop. If you’re really in love with something, stay committed. You will make it take off eventually. If you’ve got a fire inside, do your thing. You’ll probably kick, scream, and curse all the way wondering why things aren’t easier. (I have and still often do.) The good stuff isn’t supposed to come easy. Easy doesn’t make good stories or build rock-solid character.

Being in love with something, be truly passionate about that thing you just can’t shake, will always trump any exhaustion and that empty bank account you think you just can’t stand anymore. As I type, I’m working my tail off a bit more tired than I used to be. As I maintain my consistently low bank account balance- I’m still happy. I’ve committed to working on projects I believe in and with people I respect. That really does payoff. I’m confident with that, my future of well-rested, overflowing bank account days will come.

If you’ve got a fire burning for something, keep adding the logs. Feeling the heat when it all comes together is a warmth that is oh so sweet.
