How Do YOU Know When It’s Your Moment?

You don’t. You could potentially be waiting your entire lifetime, on something great to happen to you, something extraordinary. It’s the moment you’ve dreamed about, you’ve prayed about, you’ve worked relentlessly for, WHEN is it going to happen! As the years go by, and you’re steady on your grind, you constantly sacrifice, but continuously miss out on countless birthdays, and holidays, and family gatherings and picnics, and class reunions, and any other monumental event that you can possibly think of—you miss out on, and your “moment” still hasn’t come. You feel it coming, people around you begin to feel like “something is about to happen”, a few more years go by, and nothing yet. Great experiences, sure—but not that moment you’ve been waiting for.

Time is important, how we spend it, and who we spend it with, is important. What I’ve discovered, is that “the” moment—is always NOW. It’s not always necessary to sacrifice as much as you do, you feel it’s necessary because you’re grinding, but in reality—your family needs to see you, your friends need to hear from you. Share the experiences leading to that great moment, with them.

Don’t be so caught up, striving for THE moment, that you don’t experience the beauty of the moment that you’re in.

Be Still and Know.

I woke up uber-early this morning! I intend to go get a good workout in too!! But I went to sleep last night complaining and wallowing in LA’s Real Estate market compared to other cities. It drives me crazy that the apartment I want here is 2,000 a month and I can get the same but slightly LARGER apartment for a fraction of the price in St. Louis for only 450! It really discourages me from finding a place in LA. Not to mention everywhere here is pretty over populated, if I was to get the apartment I want, in the community I want—low traffic, I could easily be looking upwards 3-4,000 a month. On an APARTMENT.

Anyway, so I woke up this morning feeling convicted about my “glacial” pace. I’ve been coasting in my comfort zone, perhaps had I not, I wouldn’t be complaining about rent prices.

And what kind of believer complains about anything really when you believe and know who God is. I was definitely tripping. So anyway, it’s time to pick up the pace and break through.

This AM I am thankful for this new consciousness.

Don’t ever find yourself waiting for the right time. It’s always right now. Even when you’re waiting on God, YOU should still be moving. More often than not, we think we’re waiting on him, but actually he’s just waiting on us.

So, LOOK TO THE ANT! Go be productive… produce results.

Get Busy

Tonight I’m up thinking about the change that I want to make in the world. It’s in all of us, a natural desire to leave our mark. The key element is to do something! I’ve been working, but not relentlessly. And recently, I’ve found the perfect location for VirtuGyrl, which makes me wish I had worked a little harder last quarter.

So anyway, work hard and make things happen. For yourself, your family, your friends, your community, your world.

love, tye

Defining Goals

I’m sitting here thinking about the things I want to accomplish before the year is over. They say if you want big things to happen, you have to do big things. So my list is a little outrageous! But I’m going to do it. I was born for this!

I created Relentless 4 Millions because I got fed up with money being an excuse for not being able to carry out my work. I don’t care what anyone says, the only thing free in life is salvation. And even the price was paid for that! Everything has a cost. Somewhere, somebody, pays. I have so many great ideas that I want to share with the world, but I need a few dollars. And so many of my friends have awesome concepts, but the number one issue that holds us back is the lack of funds. So say, you want to focus on your work, money or not! Great. But the cost of living… rent, food, water. We all run into this problem at some point. And the reality of it is that it’s a hindrance. It is a setback. That’s how Relentless 4 Millions was born.

I’ll do everything in my power to break the glass ceiling, and have my products making money. There’s enough to go around for everyone, trust me. I believe you have to want it, you have to work for it, you have to go get it. If it was easy, everyone would have it, think about it.

So yes! Great! Relentless 4 Millions! I only have a few months left, 4 to be exact, actually 6, because I started in February. But it’s almost September, and really.. I’d love to be done with everything by December. I think I’ll be working double shifts everyday for the next few months, but here are my goals:

*When Gay Folks Pray- documentary and play

*For Better or Worse- the remix- play

*VirtuGyrl Media & Arts Foundation/Urban Youth Alliance- publication

*VirtuGyrl- a few workshops, seminars, fundraisers, etc.

*Love Tye- book

*and MOGUL NYC- a new reality show

THAT’S ALOT RIGHT? FOR FOUR MONTHS! I’ve already been working on most of these so it shouldn’t be too bad. I will keep this updated frequently. I have a new program that makes it easier to add video, photos, blogs and everything! So YES!

MOGUL NYC – a new reality series

So, we’re about to start casting for Mogul. Details shortly. Still learning this software. Arrrgh, way too much to do, but I got it! It’s just waaaaay too plain for me. But I keep seeing it, so for now—I’m going with this.
