So, it so happened I had to reach out to my folks about a project I have been trying to put out for 3 years now. it was becoming depressing and costing me my sleep.
my mom was like what if it's not yours or God feels like you are not ready for it yet. you keep on wanting to prove that you are your own man which we all know you are. what if you take time to be grateful for what you have, it seems or looks small to you but look at how many people wish to be in your position to have time to dream, start projects and fail. She just said it's the little wins that matter and the small losses that count.
I put the phone down looked around and noticed many a time we waste time wanting and needing more forgetting the little that we have. Some of you want marriage but deep down you cannot afford just a company of yourself or your siblings. some of you want cars others want houses, others trips others whatever but you have taken time to appreciate the moment and be grateful and proud of where you have come from.
some of you want to prove points, you compete with people that don't even give a f**k about who you are or what you have.
how is your happiness, what are you starving yourself from? I personally miss having coffee & a glass of wine with my brother Hamilton Lauti, I miss having studio sessions with Sammyjay The Producer Sammyjay Daproducer because I have been trying to build something bigger than me with Blessing Kudakwashe Musasa and Mzobanzi Ngwenya to the extent that I forget how they are feeling what's their own dreams. www.yourbantu.co yha I miss being on the radio with Amy Vimbai Chauke yeah facts.
I lost some great relationships because of my ego and trying to prove that I could. be grateful for whoever is in your life right now, those are your secret paths to happiness, by the way, my happiness is not money but the moments I spend with the ones I love period. SF gave me great moments.
it's okay to fail, my uncle always told but what do you do after failing, do you give up or do you go back to the drawing board and plan again. Rome was not built in a day, celebrate the small win and take care of yourself.
Love & Shine
