LIFE IS WHAT WE LIVE-HOW WE LIVELIFE IS THE QUESTION

I've heard it said many times ,"life is what you make it." Through the years living with Cerebral Palsy ,I have come to know a strength deep inside.A strength of Iron will to go beyond average achievements and in my own sense deify the na sayers and the learned academics who called me a "dreamer."This Iron will I got from my Father;brilliant Surgeon who I tried academically to be like but however fell drastically short. I love to learn and I also have taught music and creative arts.I have no degree yet I will put my abilities up against a degree any day. Don't get me wrong, I think everyone who has an aptitude for academics should gain as much education as they can. Their are those however that try as they might just don't have it. Those are the people who achieve success in other areas of endeavor:art ,music and acting:Creative people who "dream."
how we live our lives is the question ?Do we allow circumstances to rule our destiny or do we fight no matter how improbable our dream is to capture?I believe it is the QUEST for ,not the acquisition that MAKES ONES' LIFE FULL AND BRILLIANT!My life has been hard and at times tearful,painful and suicidal yet at those lows something says "one more go old boy your just about there!" When I feel like I can't do this life and all my dreams are still very far away,this voice keeps me going .I have LIVED! A LIFE MOST WOULD BE SHOCKED by how I survived The Bars,violence and my own intensity of the fast lane.!Waylon Jennings taught me a lot about performing and unfortunately I also learned about other stuff! the women were fast and money was never seen by me. My memory is a bit cloudy due to excessive use of ........drugs.I now see things differently being 15yrs straight and sober. All the fights and the drugs and that fast life I wouldn't change; for with those experiences I wouldn't be who I am today,willing to at 50 yrs old(soon)capture that ever so elusive dream of being" on stage"It really is intoxicating and makes life full and exciting ! GO AFTER YOUR DREAMS; THE QUEST IS WHERE THE EXCITEMENT IS! NOT THE END RESULT!
