Tyler Knew it was not going to be easy but had the kind of mindset that allowed him to believe there was no limit to the results he could achieve. Even after the failures, he experienced From 1992 to 93, to 94. With one show a year, he kept on doing his plays. Every year the play would fail, until 1998, the seventh year of trying, he made a breakthrough. How many of us would have hung on For that long? But as I mentioned earlier, that feeling of certainty came to his rescue and kept him going Because he sat down with audience members and listened to how his plays impacted them, and his life changed forever. Nothing could deter him from his path since then and that’s the level of conviction we need. He required a confirmation from his audience that he was on the right track. That’s only human. What do you need to bolster your conviction when the journey gets tough?

Our time on this planet is a short one. I want to experience every moment of it as fully as possible. In order to do that, I consciously create my reality by making the choices that will bring a great life into being. And some of those choices prepare me to be the best speculative fiction author I can be while I fully engage with the journey.
I'm sometimes unsure when I am faced with naysayers and well-meaning negativity but that certainty always returns to save me because I know what I‘m looking to create. I give myself permission to pursue my passion and strive to live my dream. I let the doubters doubt.

It’s almost as if they need to see me prove to them I can achieve my goals. I love my friends and family, but in this case, I don’t care what they think.
The truth is, when you are choosing your own reality, you don’t need to seek anyone else’s permission to do so. This is your life and nobody, but you can live it. Just one thing Gentle Reader, you are worthy and deserving of being the best you can be. Like my man, Tyler Perry, give yourself permission to be awesome and watch yourself shine.
