When I was younger, I used to run with my head down. While playing football, as I would run, I’d keep an eye on the ground to see the shadows of an opponent before they can catch up to me. I wasn’t always the fastest so doing this allowed me time to maneuver in ways to escape a tackle. Now that I’m older I feel that I am still running with my head down but now there’s no apparent benefit.

When it comes to building this brand for myself, I make moves without considering it for too long. I think about my options for a couple of moments then make a decision and stick to it (rinse and repeat). All the while I’m not really paying attention to what is going on around me. I ignore all stats, praises, and criticism. I listen to a very select few but at the end of it all I do what I want.

I kinda want to change that. I want to know what other people in my lane (indie/hip-hop/rapper/blogger) are doing to get their names out there. I’m actually in “head down” mode as we speak, on a new mission. I’m in week 6 of the my 12 week project, again ignoring the outside world and running as fast as I can. Let’s see what happens at the end of 12.

The one thing I NEED TO REMEMBER is that the journey is infinitely more valuable than the destination. I actually have that in a verse. I play it sometimes to remind myself to calm down. See the lyrics and track below

i already know,
where i’ve been and where i’m going,
is the same place so,
no reason to chase no mo’,
i just focus on the journey,
death the final destination,
as you rush to get no where,
i’m enjoying the wonder years,
yea…
