"LIFE IS A JOURNEY"



Life is a journey filled with lessons, hardships, heartaches, joys, celebrations and special moments that will ultimately lead us to our destination, our purpose in life



The road will not always be smooth; in fact, throughout our travels, we will encounter many challenges>


Some of these challenges will test our courage, strengths, weaknesses, and faith. Along the way, we may stumble upon obstacles that will come between the paths that we are destined to take.
In order to follow the right path, we must overcome these obstacles
Sometimes these obstacles are really blessings in disguise, only we don't realize that at the time


Along our journey we will be confronted with many situations, some will be filled with joy, and some will be filled with heartache.
How we react to what we are faced with determines what kind of outcome the rest of our journey through life will be like



When things don't always go our way, we have two choices in dealing with the situations

We can focus on the fact that things didn't go how we had hoped they would and let life pass us by, or two, we can make the best out of the situation and know that these are only temporary setbacks and find the lessons that are to be learned



Time stops for no one, and if we allow ourselves to focus on the negative we might miss out on some really amazing things that life has to offer.
We can't go back to the past, we can only take the lessons that we have learned and the experiences that we have gained from it and move on

It is because of the heartaches, as well as the hardships, that in the end help to make us a stronger person



The people that we meet on our journey, are people that we are destined to meet. Everybody comes into our lives for some reason or another and we don't always know their purpose until it is too late. They all play some kind of role.
Some may stay for a lifetime; others may only stay for a short while




It is often the people who stay for only a short time that end up making a lasting impression not only in our lives, but in our hearts as well. Although we may not realize it at the time, they will make a difference and change our lives in a way we never could imagine.
To think that one person can have such a profound affect on your life forever is truly a blessing

It is because of these encounters that we learn some of life's best lessons and sometimes we even learn a little bit about ourselves



People will come and go into our lives quickly, but sometimes we are lucky to meet that one special person that will stay in our hearts forever no matter what

Even though we may not always end up being with that person and they may not always stay in our life for as long as we like, the lessons that we have learned from them and the experiences that we have gained from meeting that person, will stay with us forever




It's these things that will give us strength to continue on with our journey

We know that we can always look back on those times of our past and know that because of that one individual, we are who we are and we can remember the wonderful moments that we have shared with that person



Memories are priceless treasures that we can cherish forever in our hearts. They also enables us to continue on with our journey for whatever life has in store for us.
Sometimes all it takes is one special person to help us look inside ourselves and find a whole different person that we never knew existed

Our eyes are suddenly opened to a world we never knew existed- a world where time is so precious and moments never seem to last long enough




Throughout this adventure, people will give you advice and insights on how to live your life but when it all comes down to it, you must always do what you feel is right. Always follow your heart, and most importantly never have any regrets.

Don't hold anything back

Say what you want to say, and do what you want to do, because sometimes we don't get a second chance to say or do what we should have the first time around



It is often said that what doesn't kill you will make you stronger. It all depends on how one defines the word "strong" It can have different meanings to different people.

In this sense, "stronger" means looking back at the person you were and comparing it to the person you have become today

It also means looking deep into your soul and realizing that the person you are today couldn't exist if it weren't for the things that have happened in the past or for the people that you have met
Everything that happens in our life happens for a reason and sometimes that means we must face heartaches in order to experience joy~

Go slow & enjoy life's journey.....



Enjoy the moment, it's a gift!!!

So it's finally come. The last day of this interesting competition. One last time I want to thank any and all who sent a vote my way during this crazy ride. At this point I think pretty much anybody can make a run for the top 20 and I'm sure by the end of the day the right people will be where they should be. Although I don't quite agree with the way this competition was handled, I'm kind of glad it did go down this way. There may or may not have been cheating in the beginning, people can complain that they didn't come up in the head to head player as many times as others, some may even consider it rigged. The way I look at is this: this is a community for musicians to meet, build relationships, and interact with other musicians who share the same passion for music as you do. These competitions are meant to help artists get heard by the whole community and bring other people into the community. For that I am thankful. I have been a part of many online music sites where artists put up their music, look for reviews, acceptance, and fame, basically whatever they can get. This is the only place where I actually felt like part of a community. I know it may seem like i'm just beating a dead horse saying how much I love you guys night after night now, but I just want to make sure the community knows that after this competition is all said and done I will still be here and I will still be showing love to all of my friends that I can honestly say are a part of my life now, and I have Music Nation to thank for it. Sorry i'm taking up so much space in your comment box haha i'll shutup now. Anyway, i'll end with saying its been a pleasure, and I can't wait to see how this turns out!

I just want to thank all of my friends for their constant support and love throughout the past few months. I'm so glad I joined this site and am so thankful for all of the wonderful people i've met here. I wanted to take a second to wish everyone the best of luck in this last week of the Spin Pursuit and tell everyone who makes the finals not to take it for granted. There are 476 people who would kill for the spot you will have and I hope you know how talented and loved you are to be able to make it there. For those who don't win or make the finals, never give up. I know i won't. Cherish the relationships you've developed throughout this ride and consider yourself lucky to have done so. There will be other opportunities for you. As for the winner, I will be behind you 100% and wish you the best throughout your career as I will be following it. I truly love everyone that I have been blessed to meet on this site and you are all very dear to me. So once again, good luck, God bless, and i hope we have a great finish to this thing!
