RYE RYE can change your life

Just watched a pretty cool short doc (super short) video about the singer, Rye Rye.  She's full of energy - it's just popping out of her all the time so she can't stand still - and it's inspiring.  She's not preaching, but she's telling you that you're old and cynical and that really, in reality, all things are possible.  She's enthusiastic and full of dreams and she's working it - working on it - all the time.  And that's what it is.  It's belief, maybe self-delusional belief, but belief and it's desire and it's a little bit of tunnel vision, but it's also drive.

I get up in the morning and I have a lot of pre-sets that have to get done and then I have a lot of things I'd like to get done and then I have a lot of things I'd rather be doing - those small steps on the road to fulfilling my dream (my current dream).  I know I have to do the things for which I'm responsible, but they were always there; work = chores, family obligations = family obligations.  I may have more to do around the house, but I don't have any school projects or studying on my plate.  So what's different? What's standing betwen me and my dream?  The only thing that's changed is my belief and the level of my desire and my drive.

I think it's time to stop back-burnering my dreams.  Time isn't waiting for me to make up my mind, to take action.  I need to tattoo my dream on my hand so it's always in front of me.  I need to put my dreams further ahead in the heirarchy of have-tos.  I need to believe I can do it, I need to know it's okay to want to do it, and I need to make getting it done a priority.

Just a little self-indulgent food for thought. And a video.
