Hey everyone! I thought I should repost this, I wrote this last year and I think its a motivational piece to help you if youre struggling right now : When I moved to LA last year in May, I thought I was going to make tons of money and be famous in the music industry. I thought I was going to be the next big thing right when I stepped foot in the heart of the LA streets. I was a dreamer alright.. none of the things listed above ever happened to me.. I searched desperately for jobs, and living in downtown LA wasnt easy. I couldnt find a free place to park, and if I did there would be a meter that youd have to feed quarters to or a sign that would read $5 all day parking. Parking was rough in LA--so rough that I received three beautiful parking tickets during my three week stay with a person I met online. My life was turning into reality, and I wasnt in lala land anymore. So long story short, I didnt turn out to be a famous rap star who made tons of money in LA. But I searched for many jobs while I was there, went to place after place just to find a job, I even went to a government agency where they help you find jobs. Unfortunately, not one of the places Ive applied for, not even the tons of Mcdonalds Ive applied for, called me back. I was hurting for money... I had hardly any money for food to eat, I had three unpaid parking tickets, and I lived in a studio apartment with a person I barely knew. So I called my parents to bail out of this mess and begged for them to let me move back in with them. Anyways the main reason why Im writing this post is because when I left from LA that week, the week after, Mcdonalds called me for an interview ands then five months after that, A BIG Mercedes dealership in LA called me to be a car salesman for them and were excited to meet me. The lesson Ive learned is being patient. The Lord sees all and knows all. We all have to endure some kind of hardship in our life, the hardship of finding a decent job, etc. I learned that God has something in store for you... you just got to have a lot of patience and most importantly never ever ever give up! Even if it means your living in a studio apartment with three parking tickets and barely any money to feed yourself. Thanks for reading and I hope this motivated you to become a stronger person :)
