balance
I haven’t posted any new entries for almost a week… oops! i’m really only accountable to myself anyways, right? I’m sure i have a few faithful readers…but for the most part this is still a project that’s building, so i’m not going to stress myself out about how many entires i make.
I’ve been going through some major transitions personally and career wise, and it seems that these last few weeks have really taken a toll on me physically and emotionally. Which explains my lack in motivation for indulging information to the blogosphere
My point being… all of us in this independent hustle keep our head to the ground and just keep moving forward, often times not taking the time to reflect and BREATHE. It’s so easy to get caught up in the grind, and over work yourself. Late hours, unhealthy meals, smoking, drinking, etc., after a while you start to feel the effects, and often times pockets are not lined in silver or gold after all of our energy has been spent.
Some people feel guilty about taking the time to just relax, spend time with family and close friends, nurture relationships that will still matter when the grind doesn’t. Cause on the real…all this hustle and grinding doesnt mean shit at the end of the day if you’re not content with yourself, how you live your life, and the relationships that feed your soul.
I just want you all to know it’s OK to step back and reflect, it’s OK to not check your emails, it’s OK to sleep before midnight…it’s OK to BREATHE, “the hustle” doesn’t stop and start on your account. (and maybe i’m just reminding myself too).
Spending the day with my nephews at the beach in Pacifica, CA recently was a reminder that there are moments that are worth more than landing a feature on myspace, or booking a gig, or sending out another email blast. These are the moments that give us the energy to get back on the grind…
Balance is neccessary…don’t take yourself for granted.
