As you and I both know we can get burnt the hell out just grinding...hustling just to survive. We become tired as we strive towards our dreams after the 9 to 5.
I live in Los Angeles and the stresses of the grind can get to you if you don't stop, breathe, and remember what is important.
Living in Hollywood, there is so much stress on keeping up with the latest or who's the hottest. I've come across alot of superficial attitudes and a lot of clones numb to the things that are real in life, like love, family, compassion, sincerity and just being a genuine cool person. It seems like these characteristics have become instict like the Bengal Tiger.
I was driving home last night on La Brea so stressed and tense from a day at work and then "Reasons"Earth Wind and Fire came on 92.3. This is a song that my family would sing together whether it be a holiday, reunion, birthday or any family get together.
My uncle Bob who passed several years back would always be Philip Bailey holding the mic or should I say hair brush, chicken drumstick or any other object that resembled a mic.
Immediately I started crying and my body relaxed as I sang outloud. My worries of the day started fading. What seemed like the end of the world just hours prior to me hearing "Reasons" soon melted away.
Made me remember that nothing matters. Love matters. Family matters. These are the things that hold us together as we go through this journey called life.
This world is so cold & hard as it is. If we can carry this same feeling of love that we feel from our loved ones within our hearts everyday, I believe we would be so much happier and so much more confident.
Here is my families favorite group, including mine. Earth Wind and Fire.
Miss you Uncle...
Typical soul train line with the Rubias during the holidays...
