Thank You Cody!

I am working this week at a store in New Mexico. A place I hope to soon call home. This morning I was up extremely early for a conference call and had a lot of time to think. I started to think about a conversation I had with my sister last week, and for the first time during my stay here I started to doubt myself. Maybe moving to a new state, taking on a high volume store, living on my own, and taking care of myself is just to much for me.... 

I turned my iPhone to shuffle, turned it up and got into the shower.  

And that is when the song that I needed to heard came on, 'Till I collapse

From the Reel Steel sound track by Eminem. 

I would have never normally had this lovely song but my friend Cody used my ITunes to download some music last year. It automatically downloaded onto my phone and today when I hit shuffle it came up! 

This song was perfect! Exactly what I needed to hear! 

  'Cause sometimes you just feel tired,

Feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up.

But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength

And just pull that s*** out of you and get that motivation to not give up 

And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse

And then I realized that I can do this.

I then spent the morning listening to Eminem... I wouldn't do this normally but it was just what I needed.

From his song "Not Afraid"

And I just can't keep living this way

So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage

I'm standing up, I'ma face my demons

I'm manning up, I'ma hold my ground

I've had enough, now I'm so fed up

Time to put my life back together right now!

From his song "Loose Yourself" 

The moment, you own it, you better never let it goYou only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blowThis opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo

You may not enjoy his music and usually I am not a fan but today he was exactly what I needed. Thanks to Cody for inspiring me today! 

Looks like opportunity is knocking and I am going to answer!!!!!!
