“The three P’s of success are patience, persistence and pressure.” -Alysia Lester

patience
it takes time to get what one wants
one has to believe and know it will happen
it will not happen overnight
if you want the right and real things, you must not rush them

persistence
keep at it
if one gives up, what is the point of all they did
keep up what one does even when there are tough times and one
will feel accomplished in the end

pressure
some say many perform best under pressure
pressure forces one to perform at their highest
level in order to do their best
pressure creates a diamond
out of your toughest moments, the best things can be produced

“If I’m going to sing like someone else, then I don’t need to sing at all.” -Billie Holiday

There is only one you. No one else in this world can do what you do. Be unique. Know that there is something special inside of you. Use your talents and always do your best. Don’t try to copy someone else’s style, or compare, just focus on you and continue  growing. Comparing takes away precious time that could be spent  on improving your craft. Trust the plan, work hard and let the results speak for themselves.

Change is not always easy but is a necessary part of life. If something in your life isn’t going right, change it. You control your life.

“Find your inspiration.”

​

Trust in yourself. Trust in the process. Believe that everything will work out for the greater good. You have infinite power inside of you. Continue to work hard and you will get where you need to be. Stay focused on your craft and take it day-by-day. You got this. Sometimes you don’t feel like doing things you need to, and that’s ok, just do them anyway because it will all pay off in the end. There will be a shift in the atmosphere and your world will change if you get out of your own way and alter your mindset. You can change something physically, but if there isn’t a mental change as well, then you are in the same place as when you began. Don’t get upset when things go wrong, that is the time to focus more. This is where the real test is. How powerful are you when things go wrong? Do you see where you went wrong and work harder, or do you wallow in self-doubt and sadness? Find what inspires you to keep going. It can be anything: prayer, books, songs, talking to friends, anything. Refer back to these when you feel down and use them to lift your spirits up. Remember why you started. Do not become complacent. You.Got.This.
