Keeping the dream alive

  • Article

I get to actually flag multiple categories on this post :)

Over the past few months, I've waited patiently for payments to arrive from the various digital download services that host my music. I knew that those sales, along with parsing my logs on my music site were going to help me getter a better handle on which specific songs, styles, etc folks find more enjoyable than others.

Keeping the dream alive is a song from my Sidetracks - Volume 3 CD and the data shows this is by far the most popular song I've released by a LONG shot which is really cool for the following reasons:

  • It helps me determine what specific styles I should focus more on.
  • It helps me gauge where my energy should be spent when drafting up new musical works.
  • But most importantly, this one song has a lot of personal meaning for me.

The song reflects one key attribute I hold high in myself and anyone I meet. That no matter how tough life can be; what struggles you may face; barriers to success; just all things that can interrupt your path towards achieving your goals, you have to just "Keep the dream alive" and move forward, and with lots of patience and hard work...In the end, you'll reach your full potential and look back and go "Wow! What a great life I've had".

I had a dream when I started doing software development

I wanted to use the right language for the best situation and write multiple components utilizing C/C++ where appropriate, as well as .NET related components where most appropriate, Language X where appropriate, etc yet have them all speaking with and consuming one another. The work I’ll be doing with the SharePoint Configuration Analyzer will help to achieve this dream

I had a dream when I started doing SharePoint work

SharePoint has this really rich OM. Is it documented all that well these days? No J Not really, but I saw the potential in it, and it has allowed me to create some really cool stuff that I think folks are really enjoying these days. The work I’ve done with the SharePoint Utility Suite has helped to achieve this dream.

I had a dream when I started with my musical endeavors

I just wish I had more time to put into it J But the results from my work happening at my music site are helping me to achieve that dream.

With patience, and my mind set on Keeping the dream alive, I know I’ll achieve all my goals and reach my dreams. Or as my pal Joe Dirt might say.."You just got a keep on keepin' it on. Lifes a garden man, dig it. "

Just some thoughts I wanted to share.
