Here I am, surrounded by all these great people; fashion
tycoons, talk show giants, philanthropist, photography icons, TV giants, Tech
Whiz, everybody here has a dream, a vision, one burning desire or the other,
they are all talking about passion and purpose. I know I have one of those too,
I’m know im special too, but I can’t seem to lay my hands on it, maybe I wasn’t
meant to have one, maybe we all aren’t meant to have a passion….But the
preacher said God made everyone for something, that we all have a purpose and
we should find it in order to start living.
…..Well Preacher man, I’ve been searching a long long time
for mine, gotten frustrated, seems I’ve got the proverbial hand of Midas I’m
frustratingly good at everything I set out to do: Fine arts, Writing, Modeling,
Speaking, Music…hold up, I haven’t tried music, maybe my passion is in music……but
what if its not, what if its just a hobby just like the others, what if im just
meant to lead the bathroom all stars choir like every other aspirant like me
*fist bump in the air*
Been thinking a lot lately and Ive realized something, the
preacher man lied.
Yeah I said it, they all lied, we cant all be number one, we
cant all be ‘bests’, if we r all billionaires, who will work for us, if no one will
do 9-5 jobs (which in reality is 7:30am-6pm or 7pm depending on the distance to
your house) then who will work for the visionaries, If everyone wants to be
2baba, who will buy his CDs, If everyone wants to be Mark Zucherberg, who will
use Facebook?
I might not be the number 1 artist or writer/blogger or
speaker, but I know one thing that’s the only thing that can pass for a burning
desire and passion, I know I love to help others get to be number 1, maybe
that’s the almighty calling on my life, to help people achieve their dreams, to
lend my shoulders to others to climb, to be the number 2 in the background, the
Bartholomew among the disciples of Jesus, the Gail to Oprah,
It will be tough I know, backstage isn’t full of camera and
lights, no one is really interested in what goes on there….ok, maybe just a
few, but Its ok, I find fulfillment being the one who smacks your head and
tells you ‘yes you can’
So in the mean time, Imma go try out music outside the
bathroom *wink*
Your number 1 fan,
A.D
