This is not a sound check
Being in the world of entertainment I am very aware of the difference between the actual show and the sound check. While at the sound check we don't dress our best, we don't sing our strongest neither do we usually complete all the songs or scenes of the play we are scheduled to perform. The purpose of the sound check is to assure that the equipment is in proper working order and all the props are in place for the actual performance.
The reality of our current times is that many of us are operating in a state somewhere between comatose and coasting, as if (the show) the actual life that we are to enjoy is at another time. A time like after we die or after we go to heaven or after the world ends or after the kids graduate or after we pay all the bills or after we lose weight or gain weight or after we get the new job or retire from the old job and so on and so on. Like this is just a dress rehearsal or a sound check. We busy ourselves passing out judgments on others while too often we are dissatisfied with our own life which makes it almost painful to see someone else happy.
We wait to love, wait to travel, wait to experience new exciting things, wait to fight for what or who we believe in, wait to demand the respect we deserve and ultimately we wait to LIVE, acting like this is just a dress rehearsal or a sound check.
To function above and beyond we must know who we are, where we are and why we are.
Lights, Camera, ACTION!!!! It's SHOWTIME!!!!!

Wow! How inspiring Dr. Respect. What hit home for me was the part about waiting until after this world ends. I have a friend that I love dearly. She encourages me to not put too much focus on this or that(my goals and dreams). She continually tells me to focus my attention on the new world. Well, I recently had to drastically reduce the amount of time I spent with that individual. In my gut, I know deep down that I'm supposed to use the gifts GOD gave me in this life right NOW!! Thanks for the confirmation. I'm glad GOD had our paths to cross at the Sears Optical a couple of years ago. Peace & Much Success!
Dr. Respect AKA should be "Dr. Feelgood"! Simply because each time I come in contact with him, whether it's in person, on the phone, listening to him live on stage and/or on CD or reading his thoughts; no matter how bad or good I feel, I always feel 100 times better. Thank you for reminding me that in life we will get knocked down or bumped against the wall but and that we will get up and come back more determined. Continue to do YOU!
