listen to the lion (inside of you)

don't know if there is a lion inside of everyone but you will never know if there is one in you until you look for it and if it is found... then you must listen. remember i walked away from more money than most people will ever make to do something that a. i had never thought of doing until i actually did it and b. even if mastered did not promise much financial rewards but it what i was supposed to do and i knew that when it was presented to me. i had something that a lot of people don't have and that is courage of my convictions. i AM a comic and will remain one until i die. i didn't get into this to "see if i could do it"; that is not what the lion would do; i got into it to be a comic. hell or high water, low pay, long travel, big expenses, etc never deterred me, never discouraged me, never got me down; not then, not now, not ever. i know lots of people who were in the business and called themselves comics but they were wantobes and i have proof...they are not doing comedy now. comedy is not a job it is a advocation. look for yours, listen to the lion inside of you and he/she will tell you what you are. then have the courage to follow that advice, cast aside your doubts, your fears, your worries and jump in whatever waters you have chosen. like the old army slogan went..be all you can be....you were created for something, find it, do it, be happy.
