Day 34 - Don't let anything get in your way

I watched a brief interview online today. The mother of the "overnight" star of the movie Precious is actually a long time performer. She makes a living, supporting her children, from singing in the subway! How about that! And by the way her voice is amazing. Although she describes her journey as a struggle, look how inspirational she is to her daughter. The film has been nominated for over 5 awards and I'm fairly sure the star's mother will no longer have to worry about where the money is going to come from.
It got me thinking, to say the least. I have had a dozen "ideas" about how to promote my band etc, but I have to admit that its easier to stand in front of three other musicians than on your own. When I think of mirroring this mother's success, I think immediately who can I get to go to the nearest Bart station with me. My mind is all over the place. "Steady income" doesn't exist, says my heart, but my brain says "bills, bills, bills". But hey, hold on, what's the worst that could happen if we stop paying our bills. Will they take us to jail? Will they shut off the electricity? Perhaps, but didn't we once live without electricity? Didn't we once live without cell phones? Hasn't there been research suggesting cell phones even cause cancer? I'm not saying become like Emile Hirsch in Into the Wild, but maybe we're all waaaaaaaayyyyyy to stressed by our own demise? It will be ok. Humanity has survived famine, plague, holocausts, stupidity, cruelty, the horrible list goes on and on. We have endured enough to learn new ways to pay our cell phone bills.
