"I got the magic in me/everytime I touch that track it turns into gold/Everyone knows i've got the magic in me"

Today I want to talk about talent. I was really really inspired after watching the BET awards last night. A lot of the people there were people who grew up in not so great neighborhoods with nothing but the clothes on their back and look where they ware now. You know what got them there? Talent, determination, a lot of practice, and faith. Now for some reason when I think talent I think back to about third grade. Third grade is when I moved into my first house (I had lived in town homes but this was the first house that my parentals would actually own). I was pretty excited because a ton of kids from school lived on the street in front of me. Anyways we used to have these competitions for singing and dancing. Then we'd all be the judges so its fair, but we would always end up in tears or voting for ourselves.

I guess in a way that taught me that first you have to really like what your doing. I think if a person writes a song, they know its good because they personally can not stop singing or listening to it. You in away have to be your own first true fan. But a lot of the time I think talent is a gift from god. Theres really no explination that I can come up with for why some people can sing with these big beautiful voices like alicia keys or justin bieber and others just can't. Whenever theres no explination you know its unexplainable. If I'm being a hundred percent honest I don't know a single person who has talent like anyone on the Bet Awards. No one. But i'm thinking maybe if people put all their heart and soul in trying its possible they could make it that big.

I really don't even know where I was getting at with this blog. I guess I just want to say that everyone should try to be the best at whatever craft their dealing with. If the only thing you do is life is wash dishes then make sure those dishes are really clean. If your the garbage taker outer in the house then make sure you do it with determination. Because i've noticed something about all people with a great talent. They are so happy. Because they have the feeling of accomplishment. Its fantastic. We all know it but imagine acomplishing something as big as winning an award on live television that airs all over the world. It must feel good. I want to feel that way someday.
