Yo when people say 'Im Grindin', do they ever stop to say 'Im NOT grindin'???
What I mean is there has to be a balance, a 'down time'. This music business is 24-7, non-stop and if you drive yourself too hard you will DROP! Not just from the charts but literally onto the floor. I find myself dreading the phone ringing because its too much going on in my head to even slow down and deal with another person. Its crazy.
I have to steal down time every single week or I will literally get sick. Well not really get sick because I never get sick but I just wont feel right. I might play video games or just watch a movie (good, bad or mediocre) just to endure this never ending slave drive called 'the grind'.
When is it TOO MUCH??? My answer is when YOU say it is... nobody else. Nobody can tell you when you need to go OR when you need to stop. You have to gauge your own mental and physical health and determine what amount of 'success' your willing to live with or what your happy with. If all you want is a little recognition here and there then acknowledge that and do just enough to get it. If you want top floor executive suites and Bentleys then you will have to do a little more work but either way your the final thought when it comes to being who you want to be.
I feel like this is too much every single day and my response to keep me going is... think about the alternative, you could have TOO LITTLE!
Peace,

Dawg this is serious.....this is exactly how i feel i just never knew how to put it in words. I Love music and workin with plenty of different artists and having the benefit of owning a studio just make life a bit more crazy.its hard to enjoy life when i cant relax but i love to do favors for all...i need that balance...plus my mind alway races i cant never collect my thoughts (major reason why i smoke) to make a successfully hit......but ill remember these words n cool off for a little.....time to wipe the dust off the xbox
