Keep uploading is the term social media people use to say or state to others to keep them in the game. Keep them on the grind. Keep them continuing to fight and follow their dreams no matter how big or small. And that idea is what I want to transition into.

I’ve always had big ambition, big dreams, lofty goals in my life. Some that I obtained in a month, some that I obtained in a year, some that I obtained after multiple years and a lot that I know that I will never obtain no matter how hard I work because I don’t have the natural talent that is needed to obtain those things such as going into the NBA and yes I did have that dream with all the other high school youngsters. After awhile of soul searching over years of trying new things and finding out what I really like and what I don’t really like to do I found a new self awareness. Just a little self awareness, I really enjoy making money through my performance, I love video games, and I love capturing moments with people that I love and decide to give my time to. Thats only a little bit of me. There are so many more things that I find enjoyment or motivate me.
Lets go back to the idea of keep uploading. The moment. The moment when you blow up, get huge in whatever field you work in or the space your in where everyone knows your name and who you are. The deep down selfish bit of a lot of people secretly want that in their life. The moment that you reap the benefits of your grinding, your working. Everything just comes easy where you don’t have to work as hard and your living the life of traveling and having fun. I know that not everyone wants that but for the people who do and don’t have that yet…its hard. Its hard to feel the struggle of you being stuck and not moving forward and progressing. Its hard to not be at the position you want to be at in life, I get it. This is where you now or the next time you get up and look at yourself in the mirror, you have to really decide what you want in life, figure out how to get it, and go after it. The sucky part… its not that simple. Ok the first two parts are pretty simple because your deciding and taking some time to put together a plan to get it but the process can be a long time to get it. Example: Big dream to go to and watch the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. Step two: Gather up enough money to get their and stay their and have emergency money just in case but now the process will be the long one. Three years at least and a lot of money to get there and sacrificing a lot of short term money gains to save for that long term experience. Now thats just the little macro goal of mine and not what I’m all about but just a little example of the big ambition I have.
So on to the value and motivation of the piece. You remember when I said that its hard, being stuck and not moving forward? Well I’ll be the first to tell you that I believe in you! Your time is coming! It’ll be here sooner than you expect! Now I’m not saying that it still won’t be hard, the road will be long and difficult and there ARE going to be times where you want to quit and give up. You will question your goal and is it worth it enough to you. If it is of value to you I know you will continue the hard work. No matter how big or small the goals are you want in your life, I believe that everyone gets their moment where they do blow up and live the way that they want and they win, you just have to keep on going and go after it. Keep on uploading.
Alright! Now if you made it to this part of the article…Thank you so much! I know it does seem like that I talk about myself a lot but that is what I want it to be about. I want to share my experiences because there are people that are in the same spot that I am and I hope that the everyday joe finds some sort of value in these. So thank you for taking the time to read the sloppy writing and everyday I write I get better which is reassuring to me:) If you enjoyed it so much that you want to let me know, leave a heart or a comment or maybe even share because I appreciate every feedback:) Thank you guys so much and I will see you soon!
