Jack of all Trades? What keeps you busy throughout your working day? What true passions do you have within your soul to pursue on your career path? There is so much that races within my visionary mind that has guided me across this vast Earth. There is so much I want to share, there is so much I am capable of pursuing, and there is so much MORE to decide upon. Will I go the sport route, the musical way, or film creation. Can I shack it up and write write write like the little king (RYAN) I am and survive the results of my WORD? Or can I just do it all, pursue EXPLORATION CREATIONS and follow through with my ideal dream of opening up an international cultural development/wellness center? Deep down I completely understand that I can do what ever my heart desires. I am full of amazing gifts, wonderful wonders, and lots of years seeing/celebrating the world in my own unique way. I have to continue letting go, breaking down barriers, receiving the Spirit-filled energy, and be open to new beginnings in any way they will come my way. People that surround me fear that I AM NOT A MASTER of any of my passions. I have dibbed and dabbed, went here and there, and even stuck around, but NEVER truly committed ALL OF ME to anything in MY LIFE. I have participated 33 years of my life in the sports world. Is that my calling. Should I follow my original passion of becoming a sportscaster? Am I too late? Can my mind/memory keep up with all that requires to survive in the sports/sharing arena? Or produce an international sports travel show focusing on the Champions Road. Then there is my love and passion in the celebration of music and putting on a touring show to remember for the AGES. Boy do I have a love and knack for voice, stage color, presentation and how to reach out closer to the audience. Even though I have little experience in the music business. I did grow up in the musical theater in my dad's high school productions, my sister's Orphan Annie days, and my own work as a stage hand, stage manager, opera agent, and an avid music goer worldwide. I then can't avoid my lifelong love for film and the impact it has on my current lifestyle. As my step-father Chip constantly reports and it is oh so true, the entertainment industry is tough tough business. There is a lot of competitors, many players, and a variety of souls driving in all directions from the Valley to Malibu, to Universal to Sony. The opportunities are vast for sharing stories, voices, ideas, and dreams. A lot of writing to do,connections to be made, and barriers to conquer , but boy would I love to develop my vision. I am not a master of anything in my life. In the book the Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell , he discusses the 10,000 hour rule of mastering a skill, trade, or focus in life. The pursuit and accomplishment of 10,000 hours normally takes close to 10 years. Listen to Malcolm discussing this with Anderson Cooper http://www.faithandleadership.com/blog/02-20-2012/discuss-10000-hour-rule
and realize we have to be more patient, dedicate more grit/grim, focused sacrifice, and hone in on our craft. Where do I begin? It isn't late in my case. I can be 45 and a master writer, sportscaster, tour manager,film producer, creator/director of a center, but I better get going. I have to commit to my mastery, love what I am doing and put in THE TIME to live my great passionate potential. Please seek within and master your masterpiece. Ciao- RVB
