Hey ya'll so right now I am not currently at home I am on a little vacation with my
family and Wi-Fi is not super great out here so this might be coming a little
bit later than normal we'll find out but today I wanted to talk a little bit
about opportunity and stepping out of your comfort zone and some other things
like that so a couple of days ago before I went on this vacation with my family I
was outside playing on the ukulele and I was actually trying to record taxi
cab because that's what I'm working on right now and I finished playing taxi
cab and all of a sudden some neighbors from next door that they're renting the
house and I've never talked to them before all of a sudden they are yelling
across the fence telling me you know that was great, I loved it you know I was
I was in tears all these things and so we just started talking and so I started
telling them like what I'm studying you know we just had like a good
conversation and then they invited me over to their house to come play for
them and I was a little hesitant at first you know like I was a little
uncomfortable so I was kind of wanted to stay in my comfort zone but eventually I
I told myself you know this is a good opportunity and I want to play for other
people and they mentioned they had some friends that they would love to send a
video to him so I went over there and when I was over there I got to play
awesome music for them and they recorded me and they sent it to their friend and
I just had like a really really really good conversation with them and I just I
got to talk about you know this concept album that I'm working on and just I
don't know it was such a great conversation and to think that I never
would have really had that conversation if I hadn't been outside playing the
ukulele or whatever but the thing was even though there was this great
opportunity to have these good these good conversations to be able to maybe
make some connections in the music business or any
like that I would not have you know been able to have any of that unless I had
stepped out of my comfort zone so I think it's really important to realize
that even though you can have opportunities that come along it's your
responsibility to take them and it's so easy to kind of think if something is
meant to be then it'll just happen it'll come to me you know I won't have to "work
for it" and I don't think that's right I think that everyone in their lifetime
will have opportunities come to them they will have things that you know are
meant to be but it's up to them whether or not they're going to take that and it
may not be obvious at first it may be you know are you going to make the
decision to go out and talk to that person that you feel like you need to
talk to like and you may never know what could have been if you hadn't gone over
there and talked to that person it makes me think about all the people
that I look up to you know and it makes you start to think like all of these
great people all of these these people that are role models or other people
look up to like they didn't get to where they are or were because of you know not
stepping out of their comfort zone or not taking opportunities they got to
where they were because they were courageous and because they took
opportunities and reached out and did things that made them uncomfortable you
know but it's also important to realize that just because some situation or
opportunity that you take it doesn't have to always lead somewhere and I
think it's important to put value in to things that don't go anywhere for
example me meeting those two people and possibly making a connection with
someone in the music business if that doesn't work out I'm totally fine with
that you know I'm just glad that I took the opportunity to go play music for
them and to have just an awesome conversation you know to someone else
that might seem like it's not "going anywhere"
but I made such a great connection and I was able to
just have an awesome conversation and just enjoy music in the night you know
like just got to kind of sit outside and listen to like the crickets and play twenty one
pilots and show them twenty one pilots and I just think that's really cool to realize
that sometimes opportunities and situations that you go out and do or
take like they don't have to conventionally "go somewhere" and still
have value they can still have value and not be something that someone else would
consider valuable I guess. Something really important I think to take away
from this is that everything in your life you can learn from. From you know
watching wildlife to a conversation with a friend to mess-ups or anything
literally any experience in your life you can learn something from and I think
that's really awesome and it also puts so much value into everything that you
do because sometimes it feels like whatever you're doing it doesn't matter
or it doesn't you know it doesn't have any value or something but putting value
into the things that you do is what makes it so cool so I just want to
encourage y'all to really step out of your comfort zone and you know do things
that kind of make you a little scared if you never step out of your comfort
zone and you never take opportunities then how can you expect to get to a
place that you want to be if you're not willing to take any of the steps to get
there. The journey is hard and sometimes it's anxiety inducing but I
think that's what gives it so much worth and value and when it really comes down
to it the journey is the fun part you know like the destination is awesome but
at the same time where you make your memories and have your experiences and
you learn things is along that journey and to get to that destination you have
to make that journey and so it's so important
you kind of realize that and put value into your everyday experiences. Thank you!
